Warp prisms, DTs, Void rays all good.

1a with pinky or ring finger? I've been doing ring for a while now but I feel like its wrong? I guess there is no RIGHT way... is there?

PvZ 6gate, why people research +1 attack instead of +1 armor? As far as i know 6gate is supposed to hit right before spire finishes so when opponent has only zerglings, +1 armor would be way better against only zerglings.

People research plus 1 because then your zealots will kill the lings in 2 hits.

A matter of feel really. I use ring finger for 1a, middle for 2, and index for 3 while keeping the ring finger for a.
Another alternative is bind attack to spacebar and rebind the notification camera to something

ling bling muta versus 2rax pressure/expand into 9 to 11 minute marine tank timing still WRECKS me every single time. Could someone please link me replays so I can understand the correct way to handle this?

I have always played with the belief that if your units are 2/2, for example, and your evo-chamber/forge/ebay get's destroyed, you go back to 0/0 until you rebuild it. In fact, I swear I tested this a long time ago, which is why I kept believing it.
But I was just watching a replay where I killed a Protoss's forges, and he still had the upgrades. So I tested it against the AI, and yeah, after I killed my evo-chamber, I still had the upgrades.
My question is, was it ever as I describe in the first paragraph? Maybe a bug they fixed?

It has never been as you have described in the first paragraph. Your upgrades stay the same regardless of your upgrade facility being destroyed.

Thanks. Man, I wonder why I ever thought this. So strange....

may have been it was close to finishing and it cancels the upgrades that arent completed. If you watch competitive games the casters will get a little unclear when they start talking about cancelling if you arent entirely sure about what they are talking about =/

It has always been like that.
Losing a building will only affect things that directly require that building, for example overlord creep spread and losing your lair.

What is the time frame for early, mid, and late game?
Early: 0-10 Mid: 10-20 Late: 20-?
I assume it's something like I posted about, but I've searched and found nothing. Or is it based on unit/building composition? (Tier 1, Tier 2)

Nothing is set in stone, there are no definitions for early/mid/late game.

This is a little ambiguous, which race are you? Terran or the Zerg?

Why almost no one uses GRID hotkeys.?
Everybody, including pros keep mentioning A+move, p for probe, when is a lot simpler and effective to use the GRID keys. And is great because works exactly the same for all races and you never need to memorize.

How good of an idea is it to take hidden third/fourth on Taldarim altar? The map is quite big with tons of expansions, and I believe it might fool your opponent into not attacking (thinking you're gonna do a 2-base attack and so all-in) Would that work?

Well, the idea of a hidden expansion is that it's not being scouted by the enemy... So yes, it will work if he doesn't notice your hidden expansion. If he does though, you're probably going to lose that base. So you're really just relying on your opponent not scouting well enough.

When doing orbital command opening leading into 3rax, I find when building my first barracks, i have to skip 3 quarters or so of an SCV to get first barracks out directly when SCV has finished building depot. Is this normal, or should I just not skip the scv and wait for barracks placement?
|
How can I tell between a 1 rax FE and 4-6 Rax all in as Protoss? All I scout is an OC, no gas, and 1 barracks and a marine. The players I play always show the marines from 1 barracks, or even get a Bunker. If I leave a unit at the watch tower, I probably cannot react in time.
The two counters to this are completely opposite and can hurt you horribly if you guess incorrectly. -3 Gate FE -1/2 Gate FE
If you already built the Nexus, you either lose it or have to cancel it (and lose anyways because you cannot get up enough units).
Can a 15 Nexus hold off a 5 Rax Marine SCV all in? I have been using this build recently, does this work well against a 1 rax no gas opening? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=217567
