Just checking, does a warpgate build faster than a gateway? It seems like it does but I don't feel like actually running the numbers.

do you use overlord speed? cause i find they suck for scouting, unless you're scouting zerg, or for the first 5 minutes on toss, which still isnt enough time to tell me what hes gonna do.. maybe it is for pros but not me. and terran pretty much always has 1 rine out before anything besides two other supplys, and maybe a refinery is built.

You can also crono the warp gate opening. Kind of a waste but I've used it before. :lol:
I just saw a Korean SC2 game on Husky's channel where a fake SlayersboxeR went mass Thors. The zerg thought Ultralisk was a good idea, but apparently it was not.
Mass Thors with Hellions warding off zerglings would be tough to counter, but I think banelings would have been able to destroy them easily.

Ye great games, I watched the replay of the first match yesterday and I think the win was your when you destroyed my 2 colussus and tried to destroy my second expand I only have 4 stalkers and 3-4 cannons at this time.
Both games you have too much gold, you need to make more units or more overlords.

You should then learn to not bunch all your buildings together, often in the most obvious places too. If you're doing something unusual, learn to hide your tech in whatever corners you can. You might even want to keep your army out of sight. It is a key skill to anticipate where an opponent might scan, etc.ahoyhoy said:
Keep in mind that while Terran does have the ability to scan any area on the map, this ability is limited by the area available to be seen, as well as the amount of times they can scan. With the MULE now in effect as well, the amount of scans are even cut in half at this point. That's not even taking into account that most players don't know exactly where to scan or even what they're looking for. Try your best to get around it, but try not to worry about it too much.
Ah the warp prism, everyone seems to forget it in favor of proxy pylons.Pandaman said:
It really is a wonderful little unit, cheap too.
I remember that one fight you did on Steppes, Alumnus, where you put your buildings in a ring around your starting area overlooking the cliffs. Anyone who scanned you would've thought you were proxying XD

I'm not really sure why he went Ultras in the first place. They just present huge targets for the thors to focus fire on.
I thought he was doing fine with the burrowed roaches. If he wanted the upper hand I think he might have done better by just pumping upgrades on them. Oh, or banelings like you said.

I'm trying to check my account but I can't log-in.
Yes I was invited today, but I participated in a contest on pcandvideogames.com so maybe that's the reason. (It didn't say in the e-mail)
I got the download to work, so I'll post my nickname here after it's done.

Well, the Ultralisk is kinda a useless unit right now. In fact Zerg play in general is a little stale to watch.
The roach was never a good idea since its such a dull "tanky" unit.

i played in a ZZ v ZZ today. we should have won but went hydra ling vs their roach ling... but my mutas took them out... but then they had liek 3-4 ultras. by the time they cleaned up my base and half of partners, the lone ultra left over had 73 kills
maybe they are kinda useless in the pro's hands.. i dunno... but they were useful for those two guys.

Did a few yesterday..valenti said:
its just so lonely/boring
Anyone know if/when 3v3s or 4v4s will be implemented for beta?
Apparently a good bunch of my friends got in (either with friend invites or main invites), and we've all been dying to play stuff outside of 2v2 / FFA.
Not getting my hopes up, but it would be nice to try those modes out.

Ultras can be useful in ZvZ, as zerg doesn't have any +armored hard counter units like the marauder or the immortal. Maras, immos, thors, and probably blinking stalkers (although I haven't seen it) make ultras look totally useless.
