gomtv....sometimes restreams happen if crappy connection.Ecto311 said:

gomtv.net account is free and easy to make, if you show up ~10 minutes before the 3AM EST finals you should be able to get on either the Standard Quality or Test Stream. If not, soon after someone will be restreaming it, just search GSL on Livestream.com
quality is usually better direct from gomtv since restreamers are streaming another stream

Cheese in 2v2, 3v3, and especially 4v4 is a different beast with some of these maps. When your team is separated, each alone becomes quite susceptible to 2v1 cheese attempts. For instance, I've learned that 2 Zerg player usually means 6-pool rushes 90% of the time. While you alone can defend as them easily as any race, it essentially leaves your economy as crappy as theirs, and thus their attempts to cheese ultimately result in little net risk.
teams =/= license to triple hatch before pool.MrMister said:
besides, i do it 100% of the tme. gets the game done before the lag.
if im in a team game, im either going banelings only, or cheesing you. if its not fun, dont play teams vs 'cheesers' and enjoy your nr15

Yeah, it sucks when you see someone on their own basically get flanked and killed. It's too bad warp resets every time you get hit. :lol

this. and what league?
how the fuck is your enemy getting mass thors?
close to the edge

Roaches are a good response to Thors. Thors are also really, really slow, so it opens up a lot of possibilities for harassment with Nydus, Mutas, Drops, etc. Two-pronged attacks are really strong against Mech.Neckbeard said:

cheap, quick and tough. roaches will deal back the damage they take, but they're fast enough to snuggle in towards the thor in any landscapes. burrow move can also be effective for setting up ambushes.
ling:
all units that are small, fast, and numerous can abuse the dps of the thor. [1 thor shot does 60 damage to an ultralisk army. 1 thor shot does 35 damage to a zergling army.]
broodlords:
force thors into using their AA attack to very little effect. no bonus damage and armour has a x4 modifier because of how thors aa works. broodlings will also gum up large slow units like thors and cause targetting problems for thors in the back.
hydra:
on creep and vs pure thor only, hydras rape. however you will rarely ever be in a situation where hydras are ideal and they're very poor versus mixed terran and offcreep for their cost. even though there creep speed and insane dps make them seem ideal, avoid them.

probably the most important part of learning zerg is losing alot of games because you overexpanded and couldnt quite defend it. thats the only way to get the feel for it because alot of it is off the gut. its a 'have a third before 12min/100food' thing, but when exactly you take it might just kill you depending on the situation. you need the experience with expanding.
