I saw Sheth do the Ling/Baneling thing with Infestors.
Looked pretty good. He beat both Minigun and Optikzero.
What I like about it is your upgrades will benefit you in the late game with hive tech, since both Ultras and BL benefit from the ground melee and armor upgrade.

He (Flex) didn't submit it, the guy that "beat" him did.

I just hate mirror matchups in general (did in SC1 as well).
For the most part now i am just getting quick zerglings and banelings and ending the match quickly.
The problem is that for some reason currently ZvZ is making up about 50-60% of my games (has stayed this way for the last 50 or so games).

I only just found out you can do larvae injects by clicking on the minimap. This is going to make a massive difference to my macro.

Make sure the energies are good though, or else the queen in your main just jogged out to your third.

Changing the townhall key to W has been great for me, except when I play a ffa as random for funzies and spawn as protoss and don't have a key for warpgates
The obvious thing that I just learned this week is that you can set burrowed banelings to auto-unburrow and kill dudes without even watching them. I don't think I've ever had burrow and banelings in the same game though >>

how does that possibly happen if you individually hotkey every queen. Its such a simple and fast process. 55v click 66v click 77v click. Allows you to specifically inject the hatch you want at any time throughout the game. As well you can check how much energy a queen has at any time throughout the game.
Not 100% sure what kind of rush Terran just did against me. Tons of marines and brought almost all his SCVS save like 3 maybe. I hold it off and then went to his base to roll him. He didn't even wall off his ramp. I think he just 3 raxed all in. What a stupid idea on cross map positions on temple.

What league was he in?
Marine/SCV-all in is pretty successful until Diamond-level IMO. The lean version of it mind you, hitting at 4m30s with 15+scv's and 6 marines with 6 queued and rallied.

I'll have to check later in the replay. I'm Silver league, and he def. had about 15+ SCVs and 6+ marines. I was just able to scout it really well and had a lot of speedlings ready. Once I held of the big main push I got out a few roaches, more lings, and went to his base to stop him. He had a few marines there, and just a little bit of SCV's + mules.
guys, i found this awesome custom map that seems like it is a copy of another game its so complex. its called final frontier and no one ever plays it so i'm looking for people to play with. the map is called final frontier.
the map starts out with randomly generated planets that have a population maximum, and 3 resources: metal, water, fossil (random amount)
you set passive influence % on the planet to up harvesting of the raw materials, or to up your economy (minerals) or to increase production of ships, or speed/quality of research
research costs minerals, how long it takes depends on how many citizens you have set to ressearch throughout your empire, and the quality of the result depends on your race at the beginning (which you choose) as well as how many minerals you put into the project
there are 4 types of combat ships, with 4 types of weapons, and a +health and +shield upgrade. you can research all individually then mix and match to build ships. there are two types of transport ships, one used to take over hostile planets, and one used to ferry resources from one planet to another. there is another type of ship used for colonizing neutral planets, and another used for scouting.
there are also buildings on your planets. each planet can only have a set # of buildings depending on its size. buildings help you up your population, the max # of planets you can colonize, your raw material output, your mineral output, your production speed, and research speed.
what i normally do is expand to 5 planets fast, then start researching battleship hull and laser level 1. then i build some transports to ferry resources from the 4 outer planets to a central planet, where i do all of my production. build 5-6 battleships to protect the empire, and then start a cycle of stopping transportation so resources build up on each planet, where i then build buildings that let you expand your empire, then i expand, and res-start the moving of resources to a central location. all the while trying to make sure my ships are as strong as the aliens and i can defend my side of space.
this isnt a short game, it can and will take an hour+. the first 30 minutes is devoted to destroying the aliens, then it becomes a ffa.
the BEST part of the map is everything is randomly generated. the map, the raw materials on each planet, and most importantly the research results. if you research a engine with only 500 minerals, it may be 1-2% better than what you already have, and may take 50 ticks. if you use 50,000 minerals, it will be 90-110% better than what you already have, and will still only take 50 ticks.
if anyone is interested let me know. mcrae.763

Bug report, force fields can screw up the brutalisk unit pathing so it stays in one spot.MrMister said:
Took a screenshot after trapping it with ff and it just stayed there.

Also, disappointed by the lack of people in Mumble, I check every hour or so and idle on there for an hour waiting for someone to talk to/play with in my free time.
They updated the ptr 1.3 notes with some changes.

Awesome. So the PTR is being used for just testing out changes instead of previews of patches like I was afraid it would be. If i'm not mistaken the only thing they messed around with in the last PTR patch was the bunker timings. It is much better to make lots of changes all the time I feel, but not enough that it would remove all your constants.
