Im sorry if I don't answer your question too good... but I doubt that mkp would research wrong things becuase of reading.. the icons are still there... also he should know which positon it has in the menu and what hotkey really... Probably just a missclick.
My guess they play on the clients that exist on the tournament.. else all the players can't really play each other since they arent on the same battle.net server.

I'm not sure what match you're talking about but from the sound of it, it was a TvT? Was MKP being scanned by his opponent at the time? If so he was more than likely comitting a Banshee fake. The Medivac energy upgrade is the cheapest one and makes the opponent believe that a Cloaked Banshee is incoming. I can assure you that Marine King isn't clicking the pictures.

They play on the NA client. The default keys are actually the same for the Korean and English client. For example a is used to create a marine on the NA client and the Korean client. If custom hotkeys are used, you can be sure it's changed for all clients.

Hello Team Liquid!!
My name is Miles, I am brand new to this community and site! I am 14 years old and I wish to begin playing StarCraft 2. I have watched my brother play for a long time and he used to play brood war for fun, but this is the only experience I have with this game. I think I would really like to give this game a complete try and just go for it. My brother made me a trial account today and I played the placement matches and finished in gold. I'm not exactly sure what that says about my skills or if it was just luck. Could any of you guys help me get good at this game and maybe I can go somewhere with this? Thank you so much,
<3 Miles!
btw: I will be getting my first real account in about 3 days!

You need to work on your micro. Practice click micro in ling/bling wars.

It's always great to see more people playing! Especially those who have had some history with it before. If you want to give me your character name and code when you get a copy I'll be sure to play with you. I'll give you some free coaching too, best of luck in your division.

A buff for zerg drop (idea) what do you guys think (jinro)?
A couple months ago a thread came about for protoss concerning the warp prism.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2795120585?page=1
Blizzard felt that a buff was needed because the protoss never used it because it did not regenerate enough health to be reusable.
Ever since release zerg drops have been lacking compared to terran and warp prism drops in current day.
Proposed change is that we Combine Overlord speed and drop technology. This would make the amount of resources spent not be such a huge investment, also it would make it more viable allowing Zergs to use it in their current play. The upgrade would cost 200/200, and would have a 100 second build time. So my question is how come Protoss received a buff to their drop ship when Zergs was just as bad. Outcome
1. Make Zerg harass more viable other then hoping for ling run by to be successful or muta harass.
2. Increase the skill cap of Zerg allowing them to have more tactics in game.
Possible other changes
Maybe they could possibly keep them as 2 upgrades but reduce research time by 20-30 seconds on carry and reduce mineral cost by 100/100.Still keeps the 200/200 original idea and keeps scouting speed the same to allow people who go for the EX: infestor style to scout for drops and prepare.

Why are there so many MLG ads on the MLG streams? Wouldn't advertizing third parties be more lucrative? Or can't they just get them to buy their ad space? Or is it just that I simply don't get the third party ads in my region?
Thanks

He streams quite often, he used to be featured before TL changed the featured requirements., he is in Vile, and he has a pretty big following for not being a super gosu progamer.

Glad to see more new blood! The game and the scene is still growing so fast
Gold is pretty good, if this is your first RTS game, its better than 40% of the player base, so not amazing, but a good place to start. (The leagues go bronze --> silver --> gold --> platinum --> diamond --> masters --> grandmasters, which is the top 200 in the region)
The best ways I can say to help you improve is to use your keyboard as much as you can, get a hotkey setup you're comfy with, and watch streams, especially the Day[9] Daily, he does a show nearly every day dedicated to helping players improve. Most of it is fairly advanced stuff, with the exception of his 'Newbie Tuesdays' where they are geared to lower level players. Also there's his 'Funday Mondays' which are funny. You can find them at day9.tv
Good luck!
EDIT: 100th post woohoo :D

I was wondering that myself. I have a feeling it's just that MLG wants to promote their stuff as well as sponsors, hence the CONSTANT shameless self promotion. However I don't think they have a whole lot of those at this point. We need it to pick up some steam, have the Brood War players transition over and then we'll see some more diverse opportunities.
Also, if anyone from MLG rolls by:

I don't think zerg needs a drop buff, for a couple reasons.
1: you don't need to build a special building to get overlords, and you have to build them anyway for supply. So effectively, for the cost of your upgrade you get infinite dropships, and have to spend 0 build time out of a production building.
2. You don't need to get the speed upgrade to do drops, per se, only to do more damaging/dangerous drops. For example, you can transfer drones to close-by air platform on metalopolis to expand and not have them run through the middle of the map. Go to islands, attack undefended close-by-air bases, etc. albeit very slowly. I admit, functionally it sucks, and is only really helpful if you want to do a drop before waiting the extra time for the speed upgrade to complete.
3. Yes, overlords have high HP, regenerate health and are therefore re-useable.
4. The speed upgrade already makes them the best dropships in the game, you do not see terran or protoss having the ability to fly over your base with 6 full dropships and 20 empty ones as decoys. In fact, protoss usually makes due with only 1 or 2 warp prisms at a time.
In the thread you linked, the OP stated "Ever since release zerg drops have been lacking compared to terran and warp prism drops in current day." I do not accept this statement, as zerg drops have always been quite powerful, and probably underused IMO. Baneling drops have been a fairly popular tactic in the past, hydra drops into bases are still an effective harass, just as much as terran drops. I believe the relative rarity of zerg drops compared to terran (i think they are still used more frequently than protoss drops) is more a product of current zerg playstyles than any actual weakness in the strategy or units. People prefer to have their power units, such as hydras and banelings, with their armies in case they get attacked. In mid-late game, dropping zerglings rarely causes enough damage to be worthwhile, and besides that, they are fast enough around the map (especially with a good creep spread) that you don't need to drop them. For terran, the 8-16 high-dps marines are more disposable, and less likely to be the deciding factor in a full-force engagement than the 8-16 banelings or hydras that you would drop.
TL;DR Zerg has great drop capabilities already, and the investment they currently have to make to get it is well worth it. So they don't need a drop buff.
