Unfortunately, there isn't really a cookie-cutter opening to do that specifically, but there is an all-in by ROOTDestiny that is pretty good at denying initial damage...but it's an all-in, so haha not the best macro opener. I'd say the best opener (assuming economy is still important) would be a 15 hatch defensive bane opening. It requires good micro but it puts you far ahead if he does pressure you early. Make sure you are using all your overlords to make a line across the map to scout quickly and have an overlord that can scout his natural timing. This should give you a pretty good headstart to knowing what he's up to. If you want more specifics, check out Apollo's Zerg tutorial on youtube.com where he goes into more detail about various builds. Jinx | ||

Was just checking out (former Slayers) Crank Stream and this guy is pretty good and happens to look for a foreign team, Been a fan of Crank for a while now so I'm thinking Liquid_Crank! Seems like a nice addition to the Team and this guy is only getting better. Team liquid usually seems to have a good eye for up and coming talent and personally I think this might be one of those up and comers. So I was wondering or u guys agreed and if so let the peeps and Team Liquid know and lets see what they think ! | ||

The main reason for opening an account on this forum is because I am looking for a partner who would like to invest in e-sports, for example, I would like to collectively make a tournament where we the organizers chip in for a prize pool, I could put $150 the first time, and if I get one or two more guys to do the same, I think we could have a decent prize pool of approx $500. It does not mean this is the only thing we can do, if you have any specific good ideas on something else that could be done Starcraft-related, I could invest even more. Please let me know. Thanks. | ||

I switched back to Protoss (Gold league) about a week ago and right now, I won against a top 16 diamond player in a PvP while having a hidden pylon in my base. It just feels so damn good. Anyway, does anyone know when the Up&Downs for the next GSL will be announced/played? Will it be right after the Korean WCS? | ||

Lategame MMMVG does equal other races maxed T3. You're just wrong. maxe protoss army vs maxed terran army with ghosts to EMP. If you want to talk about Splash dmg, ghost EMP is far better than hightemplar storm. Hightemplar storm does 80 dmg at a maximum. Ghost EMP dmg 100 sheild instanly and is an AoE spell. As for mech not being viable on 2 base.. well its a 3base strategy so whats you point. They way you play mech is that you go for hellion harrassment while you take a quick third base and then vamp up the prodction. | ||
