cmon, zerg is imba now ;o.
but srsly, blizzard is not doing any good for sc2. by improving queens and overlords they've actually DESTROYED my fav opening on small maps vs zerg - 10 pylon-10gate. It's not even a cheese just a way to put pressure and punish fast 2 or 3 bases... now its not viable so it's not like the game is imbalanced, but its BORING and it forces you to play expansion and only 1-2 strategies ALL the time (6gate immortals or 2-3 base colossi boring shit )

i'm wondering what the viability of a PvZ archon chargelot build is. after trying it on ladder in diamond league, it seems to hold up decently, but i'm not sure how well it works after that.

What are the rough point values for low/mid/high masters?
|
What do people think about adding a second Starport with Reactor in the mid-game no matter what and going heavy Medivac/Marine(/Viking, if he's going Colossus)?
In my mid masters(around 700 points) experience it works great against HT's because a heck of a lot of Medivacs heal so much HP that Storms are practically useless if you simply kite the Zealots. Colossus are easy to beat because of quad Viking production (obviously).
The down side is that you have to delay Ghosts or the second Ebay, and cut the one that isn't delayed respectively, since Medivacs and Vikings cost so much gas.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing true about what is said here. No smart Zerg would try fast 3 bases against a gateway first, one base play, and any attempt at punishing a Zerg for fast expo is a cheese. FE is standard ZvP.
There are far more styles than you apparently think there are. Watch some of the Protoss streams and you will see.
If you don't like what Blizzard is doing, go complain on the battle.net forums.

Evey time I see WhiteRa I just want to hug him.
Also what does the TL community think about Carrier based Builds?
|
Honestly I recommend playing all of them for a while against AI. Give it about 10 games with each on a difficulty like Medium. See what one you enjoy more. I started as Protoss and switched to Zerg shortly after just because I enjoyed Zerg play style more.
Carrier based builds are peculiar, and strong. Unfortunately soon will no longer be possible.
|
I think it's hilarious that viable carrier based builds are coming out right before HotS removes them from the game. Same goes for defensive mamma ships.
But seriously, I think they have a place and like it was said, "You have to have a plan". You can't just say .. mm hm well he countered my Coloss and HT I will get carriers now. You have to be moving towards a late game goal of carriers.

If you play Terran, you will win Every single game all the way to grand master, just by making tier1 units GLHF

I think the zerg buff was long needed. Zerg was underpowered before, but now that zergs are learning more builds and play styles,in combination with the overlord speed for scouting and new queen range to make it a little easier to defend in the early game zerg is now on par with the other races
|
In my extremely underqualified opinion the overlord boost was desperately needed but I was mildly surprised they went for ranged ground instead of air. However seeing it play out, I'm confident in the changes and their intention has translated into my games.

This is very true. Now that I've seen it in action it's become a bit more viable.

Queens, in my opinion were more used for early game defence instead of anti air. That goes without saying that the capability was quite welcomed.

If I havent played for a few seasons and I have 5 placement matches does this mean my MMR is reset completely?

But I've heard that the mmr system is pretty efficiant, and you start playing against your level after game one. I might be wrong though, but I'm pretty sure it resets.

Just wondering if there are SPL vod's in HD. The EsportsTV youtube channel has somewhat low quality vod's.

PvP - 1 base colossus PvT - 2 base colossus PvZ - 3 base colossus

This is targeted towards the Team Liquid site managers...
On your streaming lists, that show WhO is currently streaming, could you please add some kind of tag right beside their name as to Which race they play...
I understand it would be hard for the majority of the 100+ streamers that are on, to keep track of Which race these players play... but could you please add some kind of option where either the top players or some top percentage have a Symbol right beside their name?
I know that its possible to click their name, and then let it load.. but sometimes I WanT to watch a specific race and do not know much about the players.. including What race they play.
I feel it would heLp..
Thank you for your wonderful service, and good luck to the Team Liquid SC2 team!

That's so cute ^^ Go to your profile and check the settings you can make it show the races of players that are streaming (right sidebar preferences).
btw. If you're a protoss player and you're tired of people taking stupid risky expansions in PvP, join the dark side and roll them with blink. So worth it, i'm telling you
