Last updated Homestory Cup IV invites. I would really like to see HuK there.

awesome, where did you find this?


Found it in the Community News and Headlines.
Link here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=292850
Just go to the more recent commment pages, people will keep updating.
I have also heard that MKP and KawaiiRice have both been invited.

Edit: Heres a picture with their actual names, but (Z)PhoeNix is incorrect.
[image loading]
People on the forums still cant seem to find a picture fit. People are predicting HuK for the last photo, just unknown to which picture.

Thats 9 Protoss, 5 Terran, and 3 Zerg (if the TLPD links are correct).
Most likely to be invited:
(P)HuK
(Z)IdrA [Broodwar link, too lazy to fix XD]

Hi there! I decided to register here because i got something very important to tell to Liquid Jinro! I have been watching his stream for a long time, and the experience is: everytime im watching his stream he loses! Im not telling that he is a bad player because it is obvious that he is a great player. Im sorry to say that, but you can make sure, when you lose than its my fault.

I'm a Protoss and in the current metagame, hellion drops in TvP are sick.

Also, in ZvP, why don't zergs do like 12 zerglings drops? At the very least, you will kill a few artosis pylons. Usually you can target forges, nexus, twilight or probes.

Lastly, use warp prisms. Late game broodlord armies cannot be fought straight up. Just warp in 8 zealots and kill hatcheries. If he goes to kill you, it's an all in so if you hold that 1 attack you should win.

Choice between dropping 8 stimmed marines or 4 hellions....

Its not even a choice.


I don't think marines kill probes faster, do they? All you have to do is press F2, box them, press F3 and click a mineral patch and most of the probes will get away. Sure, I guess you could kill a few pylons but isn't 25 workers better? o_o;;

Jinro, is there ever a situation where you prefer to drop marauders over marines? If you're going for buildings, 4 marauders do comparable DPS to 8 marines and unload faster, but is it worth it?

I think if he can SEE you unloading units you are not nearly as likely to actuly kill the tech structure anyway. Also, marines scale from 6 damage to 9 with attack upgrades (150% damage) but marauders only scale from 20 to 26 (130%) so you should include that in your calculations.

Marines with smart fire are also superior at killing probes by far, if you get the opportunity you can kill an entire mineral line in mere seconds, where it is harder for marauders to do damage if they are not shooting buildings.

I keep reading/hearing from Pro Korean Terrans in the GSL that the maps are favoring T less and less now. Is it because the maps are becoming larger or is there another reason?

Yes, larger maps mean you can't really put on pressure without it being all in since it'll be hard to defend any counter attacks. Drops should be more effective on the bigger maps, but we'll have to see.

Also, terran is the hardest to reinforce with as protoss has warp-in and zerg has super fast units (except for BLs).

How about hellions before patch? xD And can't hellions run faster than stim marines? If they react fast enough can't you just pull away your workers? Or is the point that with marines you can still snipe some of the pylons like the ones on the border of his base?

PvP build i've been messing around with (high platinum)

Basically open normal, 13/14 gate
get zealot and 2 stalkers chronoed out and harass/scout with them around 5-5:30, retreat as warpgate kicks in (not essential to the build but helps delay greedy 4 gate builds)
start sentry as 2nd stalker finishes, get 2nd gas and two more gates as you move out.
if i see or suspect essentially anything besides a 4 gate all in, put down a stargate, then eventually a robo.

tech to hallucination and take a 2nd as you feel comfortable/after you hold first push

army composition ends up being (ratio) 10 zealots, 5-7 sentrys, 2-3 voidrays (maybe a couple phoenix if needed), 3-5 immortals

hallucinate zealots (or a couple vr's if opponent intent on picking them off), snipe observers, and forcefield behind stalkers.

I've been doing really really well with this in platinum. occasionally i'll die to a well executed four gate or tons of phoenix's but usually can just ff the ramp and reinforce. This build has been crushing the standard stalker heavy builds, especially once they waste money on a few immortals or colli.

any advice on how this might go in the higher leagues?

TvP, how do you deal with a warp prism sentry drop where they forcefield your ramp and wreck your main. Usually i play economy style, so i take my natural fast and end up with all my units at the bottom when suddenly that happens. Should i just build my depos by the edges so i can react fast enough? even if i do, sometimes its so fast theres no time to react. Any advice?

This week I have lost 20 ranks on ladder, tilted like 10 games in a row with maybe winning 5 games inbetween. 85% of all loses are against cheese mostly and the rest is probably econ cheese. I am curious what I should do? I don't want to take a break because then I might come back rusty I feel... I analysis everyone of my games, and I feel I don't do so much wrong except maybe my "playstyle" which often tends to be as safe as possible but I just break down after a few games and do stupid shits I feel, if I try to play safe they go econ cheese and if I try to pressure or so they go all-in cheese. :/

I'm just not sure how to improve and keep climbing on ladder, now around mid master with this current tilt and keep losing more and more.

Sorry for the rant!

I heard that recently Blizzard has sent out a lot of bans that they quickly withdrew. Must be some sort of bug, you should contact Blizzard about it.

My friend is getting a lot of lag in large army engagements, I'm assuming it's because his CPU is only 2.4GHz?


I have the same CPU and I have the same problem. My computer just locks up in 200/200 engagements, nothing responds.


unless it's like 800 zerglings, if you have a good graphics card even with only dual core 2.4 ghz it should be able to run on ultra o.o my friend's PC does, at least

he has like a geforce 9800 or something like that, forgot exact one =/


Being maxed out on 200/200 battle with a lot of lings can certainly put a strain on many computers. Locking up is a bit extreem though. Also it baffles me when people say they have the same cpu when all the first person mentions is 2.4 GHz. There can be huge variations depending on the kind of cpu.

Yes, if that happens it is simply an autowin. You need to have enough marines on the high ground to kill the sentry or warp prism. They will always drop the sentry near the ramp so keep the marines there. With a bunker they will on many maps help protect the lowground too.
Kill one man and they'll call you a murderer. Kill an army of men and they'll call you a general. But kill all men and they'll call you a god.
