What do you do against protoss mass blink stalkers off of 1 base as a terran? I was prepared for a 4-gate and started building expansion but that guy just blinked into my base and moved away from bunkers killing tanks first and then marauders and marines.

I don't think I've done anything wrong. If I knew he wants to do that, I'd probably have more marauders, but I thought bunkers are enough.

any suggestions?

Can anyone suggest good ZvZ builds for me? I always have problems early game when they can pump speedlings and I can't.


A safe ZvZ openner is a 14/14 (gas/pool) build where you immediately saturate the gas and remove your drones from gas at 92, 96 and 100 and immediately get speed and lings. If you suspect cheese changing to a 13/13 build will ensure you're safe, but a 14/14 build is generally fine against early pools as well, though you may need to use drones a little in the first engagement. Either allows you to transition in to either a variety of Speedling FE or any combination of pure ling, roach ling, or bling/ling builds safely.

Liquipedia has some more specific builds:

I'd probably have to see a replay to know what exactly happened, but if you're suspecting a 1 base blink allin, you want more bunkers. Did he use an observer or maybe a warp prism to spot up a cliff to blink, or did he just run up your ramp and go for it?

If you see your opponent 1 basing, as a general rule, build more barracks and feel OK cutting a couple scvs to get a couple bunkers up if money is tight. A missile turret will also be useful against voidrays/observers/DTs/non-range colossus rush, and will shut down attempts to blink up your ramp using the high-ground sight.

I just noticed that an article on IdrA in Lithuanian wikipedia has made it to the front page for this week (the article of the week)
http://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/

English speakers, don't fall behind ;P Wikipedia is a good place to promote e-sports, provided that you can write good articles meeting wiki criteria.

Did anyone else's bonus pool go up by ~190 tonight? Had 31, logged off for about a half hour and when I logged in again I had 221. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...?

Yeah, I got +100 once, then +180 another time. It seems to be some sort of textual glitch and you don't actually have that bonus pool, proven when I had 184 pool, won a game and lowered it to 180.

Quick question regarding GSL, Due to the final placings and MLG/GSL exchange program can anyone confirm the 4 (DRG got CodeS) non koreans that will be given Code A status, from looking to me it seems:

8. SjoW
10. KiWiKaKi
12. NaNiwa
14. DeMusliM

Or am I totally wrong?

Tried searching with no luck, can someone tell me why sometimes when I quit I can use the normal F10+N but a few times here and there it's F10+Q?

If you suspect a blink strategy like this then doing a "hold position" choke-line at the bottom of your ramp with SCVs/marines/marauders would stop letting the zealot (or any other unit beside a patrol probe - but the probe should die due to low hp) get up the ramp to gain vision of higher ground.

The new maps have a different hotkey to leave the game for some reason.

Blizz is trying to bring back some of the old Alt-QQ action.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to have quite worked out the Alt part yet.

What do you think the helion upgrade reduction will do to mech play vs toss? Will a solely mech army (helions to counter zealots) survive the chargelots like they used to?

I know it really depends on composition, and how many helions, but I wonder if this new patch goes into effect how the ESCGoody's of the world will deal with this. Myself included.

Thanks

I'm one of them but yes ZvZ has been a common one for me recently. I'd estimate probably 8-9 of my last 15 games have been ZvZ

While we're at it, can someone give me a rundown on what ELO stands for? Searches on TL, Liquipedia, Wikipedia, and Google yielded nothing useful.


Really? The Elo system devised by Arpad Elo? It doesn't stand for anything, instead it's named after the creator. I just searched "elo" and the Wikipedia entry was the third result. Look it up. It's formally known as the "Elo rating system" and is the premier system used by chess leagues.

Well don't I feel dumb...
