This is exactly how I felt after playing zerg for a while. Not sure why people call zerg macro more difficult. You don't even have to go back to base to make depots.
Yeah I feel the same way playing Z. Easiest base management in the game.
Hi, if you just sit back and macro with a marauder marine viking, pvp how quickly should a really good player be on 200/200. I post in here because I don' t feel it deserves a thread itself.

I think the patch notes for 1.3.3 will really improve gameplay, especially in pvz and pvp. Zerg will have to worry a little less about four gate. (although it is still a possibility as it should be) Two gate will now actually be able to do something, as will all of the early gateway units, now lets be honest, Zerg have been getting considerably far ahead early economically because of the lack of POSSIBLE pressure.

Chinese players are grumbling that they are unable to buy a full retail copy (T/N : They have to pay a montly fee to "rent" the game), and Asian players are grumbling that they are unable to get a Collector's Edition of the game. Are there plans to release the Collector's Edition in Asia when Heart of the Swarm comes out?
Dustin : Firstly, I'm not the right person to answer this question. Someone from the marketing or sales department would probably be able to answer this question more accurately.
Furthermore, we are unable to reveal much regarding this, but we can assure you that we are looking into this problem and listening to the views of the players. We are very open and receptive to the comments by the players, and we are going to start looking into the situation regarding this issue.
Recent quote from a Dustin Browder interview - seems like he is dodging the issue hehe
So, I'm new to Starcraft, and have been trying to improve as a Zerg player.
RIght now, I'm in Bronze League, and have never used the 6-Pool tactic before, but I've managed to get into top 10 in Bronze League. Is 6-Pooling worth using in Bronze League at all?
I was wondering whether there are any rules in major global tournaments concerning playing random. I remember hearing before that you had to pick a race, but now I'm not so sure...
I didnt know where else to post this but why have all the final edit articles stopped after last one which was ALL IN THE FAMILY? I really liked reading those articles as they have a lot of insight into the esports scene...but sadly since last august there havent been any new ones.

No just work on your mechanics if you want to get better! day9 made some good daily on that subject i think. go and look it up.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how long it takes to rank up from bronze to silver in 2v2. Me and my partner are consistently beating Silvers, Golds, Platinums and sometimes even diamonds. Any clues? Thanks guys :D Cole
hey i was trying to find out why we never see probe all-ins like we do with Terran and Zerg sometimes. just thought it was odd we don't see 4gate all-ins with probes.
Could any one give me some advice on a new player coming to tournaments and or some advice on how to prepare and practice for them. Please and thank you Im also a Zerg and Terran player but still finding our why one to stick to.
1) What exactly qualifies a tournament's to be on liquibet? Why aren't stuff like ipl and mlg on it??? Same question goes for TLPD data because I know they are related.
2)Players on TLPD seem to be split regionally, even if they are the same player. What's stopping us from combining players so that when we click on a player like Ace, we see his iem accomplishments as well as his GSL run all on the same page?
Hey so... ive been wondering... How do Sc2 teams work? Like where do they get their funding? I think TL is supported by TLAF but i never see any other teams really showing off any sponsors. Is the money won at tourneys split up between all of the players or do they keep it all for themselves? are the teams just for practice? Just curious
