So I've been watching a lot of TvZ recently and I've noticed Zerg players are starting to handle Reactor Hellion openings surprisingly well, and the common transition to Siege Tank/Marine is usually well countered by mass Ling/Baneling. Like in the Stephano vs Thorzain games in the SCI4. Do you think the meta game will start to shift away from Reactor Hellion openings to something else?

I'm curious if on the TL forums you have a forum section for players that are starting to cast. To the best of my knowledge we can link our streams to TL after ~2 months, of which I intend to do (:

But I'm starting out casting for some eSports promo (Because we all love eSports and are Sick Nerd Ballers <3) but I don't want to post in the wrong place, so does anyone know the directions? (: My channel is youtube.com/ZiconiusSc2

Thank you TL Ballers (:

lol, forget those units, I think the Warhound alone is going to make mech the go-to build in TvP.

Battle Hellions seem so gimmicky, regular hellions as they are now serve their purpose well in mech play (breaking lines with their speed and holding the Protoss in place giving the Terran time to manoeuvre the slow mech army. I think the transform mode will only be used like how the Viking’s transformer mode is currently used, when the Terran is in a clutch situation with no hope of retreat and needs as much damage available to them.

As for the Shredder, I can’t even speculate how that’s going to work out, will just have to wait and see on that one.

Wow, been playing a lot of SC2 on the NA server recently as random and I have to say.... There are A LOT of protoss players. I'm high plat now and it's getting a bit frustrating. Anyone experiencing something similar?

Well I'm in mid diamond and most of my games today have been against zerg... it's mostly just luck of the draw imo

I think it's just luck of the draw really, but yesterday (on the SEA server) I did play 7 PvP's out of 8 games (yeah, I realise that been Protoss myself I'm kind of adding to the problem, lol). My second to last game was a PvZ on metal, I was so happy as I consider it my best match up and was just about ready to shoot myself if I had to play another PvP. After all that waiting turns out he just Roach-rushed me with a proxy hatch (in my base rather embarrassingly, didn't notice until I saw creep everywhere). You've got to laugh really.

A pure Warhound army would be useless against zealots. I guess that's what battle helions are for. ^_^

I'm a bit disappointed in their choice to only make Warhounds do bonus damage against mech units. I feel like that could spell doom for mech in TvZ. In WoL Thor is the AA unit of a mech player. Their most important role is to defend against air units but they aren't completely useless against roaches. If Warhounds keep their low damage against non-mech targets i feel like mech in TvZ will be harder after HoTS.

Got a quick ladder question.

Will the ladder demote you from your current league if you lose a lot? I'm pretty sure I got misplaced during my ladder matches, and I was just hoping that I'll get naturally demoted in good time.

Yes. Don't really worry about how the system works, just know that if you play more, your league will more and more accurately represent your skill.

Yeah, you do get demoted if you consistently play poorly, loosing matches when you are classed as 'favoured' will significantly increase your chances of been demoted. I will say one thing, don't try to drop a league on purpose by instantly quitting games. I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you do it enough the system cops on to what you're doing and bans your account.

Confirming that demotion is all too possible.

You have to be pretty bad to achieve the dream though. I think I placed into 2v2 silver and lost basically all my games for a week.
Stay positive!

Yes. It's a rough science at best, but I've found that if you're consistently being placed against players in a league above your own (and beating them), promotion should be imminent.

This post is helpful (search for promotion).
Stay positive!

I thought they had bonus damage to light air on their AA? This would make them better versus mutas (if so) and you could add more tanks to deal with the roaches, but I guess we'll see.

Tanks or Marauders. Tanks more so though, ghosts do SO little damage to tanks and get massacred by them.
