No need to get to know all of them. Not all of them gonna make it big anyway. Not bashing. That's just reality. not all of them are going to make it BIG like NesTea and MVP big but majority are going to be known like Puma or Losira known all of them are going to have a shot at blowing through an MLG open bracket or surprise owning a tournament also i wouldnt be surprised to see all of them changing there race often, unlike early SC2 when every pro was like "omg i can be as good as anyone i cant switch races cause too long to relearn race needs to practice on one race and get known" there more in the mindset of "well its soo late in SC2 for me to dominate quickly so i can take my time in picking the right race" | ||

There's a lot more emphasis on expanding in general, thats been known since SC2 was revealed, but I from what I've watched recently I wouldn't say "everybody" goes fast three bases (it also depends on your definition of "fast"). IIRC Zerg usually gets a quick third hatchery, but they don't always place it at the third depending on the matchup. Any BW fan here care to tell me if thats basically right or not? | ||

You really should go out of your way more to read into the context of a quote rather than butting in just to epeen. i don't really see how you can say "there's no difference" when you can micro mutas to continually pick off marines when terran moves out and then eventually overwhelm their mnm group with mutaling in broodwar. even if sc2 maps had as many cliffs or doodads as bw maps, the way mutas work in sc2 just don't let you micro them vs bio like in bw. you can't stack, marines clump much closer so many more fire at the same time when your mutas come close. there's no point in microing vs turrets in sc2, you don't take any less damage from turrets than you do if you microed your mutas, you don't really run away from marines any faster. you can't pick off HT like you do in zvp with mutas, because stalkers clump closely, have blink, and don't bug out, so a huge assload of mutas die every single time you try to dive in, so the best way to use mutas in zvp is to just get like 50 of them and base race. basically mutas might look the same and have similar unit stats, but the way they are used is not even comparable between the two games. in sc2 you can't micro small amounts of mutas to make them better, you just get more of them. | ||

Any BW fan here care to tell me if thats basically right or not? zvz doesn't go past 1 base, sometimes 2 if both people 12 hatch. zvt terran sticks to 2 base mnm for pretty much the whole game, zerg takes third when his lair tech units are out and fourth gas when he has defilers. zvp protoss forge fes, zerg double expands, toss will get a third when he can defend it vs fast mutas or mass hydras (around 10-11 minutes), zerg expands again when he feels safe tvp toss generally tries to take a quick third, terran tries to punish with 2 base timing, but i don't really understand any non Z matchups pvp generally one base or someone defending their fast expo vs fast reaver or dt tvt fuck if i know but it's not fast 3 bases | ||
