He's going to be on 1 base for a while. Get cloaked banshees to harass him. He can only have so many scans off of one base. You should be able to take out a ton of tanks/workers at your discretion. Expand yourself to take the lead, and go from there.

Unless you are pretty confident with your macro while you cloak banshee harass I'd say just expand.
1 base in TvT feels absolutely terrible and you need to expand unless you are 1 base all in since gas so ridiculously important.

Seige expand gets that expo up pretty early.

Anyone ever had weird input lag issues before? Right now theres a good 1 sec delay between my commands and the unit action, even in custom games vs ai. I can't figure out why it would run so poorly all of a sudden. The game is rendering fine with good framerate I'm just getting input lag locally...

Are you in Canada? We have terrible lag issues caused by terrible internet.

My connection is causing problems even in ai matches? I'm downloading SC2 on my other computer right now (because playing on a tv 6 feet away is starting to drive me crazy via minimap blindness) so that would explain it >>

Unless you're playing the Campaign, Challenges, or Skirmish v AI in Single Player, you will always have a small bit of lag between click and command, because Battle.net forces a minimum ping between your computer, other players, and battle.net to keep the command timings consistent across all players, so one player doesn't have a 20 ms advantage over another. You will always have a 50ms to 2 second lag.

I usually try to do that if I do not forget it. Contaminating Evo Chambers when you are ahead in upgrades or doing that to hatcheries are always fun.

HD did a video about that not long ago. He talked about how contaminating a hatch with larva spawning will not only pause the larva, but cancel it as well, something I didn't know.

Any tips on doing a Forge+FE as Protoss? Had a game earlier on Shattered Temple, against a Z and it didn't go very well :( Do I start with 1 cannon and add more if I see a warren?

Talking about people basically rushing to Lair and grabbing Overseers and Contaminating.

Been a while since there were any LAN complaints in here so here's a little something from the Pax East thread:

JacksUsername said:
My other friend was in the Starcraft tournament - I headed over there for a bit and was disappointed to find out there was no way to really spectate. He was near one of the back rows, but since his monitor was facing the interior of the room, we wouldn't get to see him play unless he made it to the finals. And then, the tournament was postponed after they had been sitting there for over a half hour. Because so many people were trying to log into Battle.net, Blizzard blocked the IP, and no one could play. Because LAN isn't supported, they postponed the tournament while trying to contact Blizzard (so people were saying). My friend didn't bother to return since he had already wasted so much time.

There we go!

Thanks guys :) Terran who bunkers themselves in with siege tanks = no map control.

Good shit. Good shit. Good shit.

When I practiced it on Lost Temple, I would put up 2. I don't know how that would fare against roaches, though. I aimed to ward off zerglings, banelings and mutas.

I suspect Roaches would have demolished me.

Yeah, some of the application videos have been pretty funny/interesting. CoLFirezerg and VTWhiplash's are comedy.


But you want professional? MyMCloud has the production values.

I think marines should shoot lasers now, cause they keep nerfing the units that have cool visuals


::EDIT:: the lasers should be whatever color the marines r! also, zerglings should have a stream of *whoosh* like graphics following them(cause they so fast)

Okay, so I've been playing a lot of 4v4's lately (4v4 random), and I've won 14 of past 15 by doing this (albeit slightly boring) strategy:

Terran
Mass marines + Mass medivacs
Stim
Combat shield
3/3 upgrades
10+ reactored bunkers
2 bases at most

It just RAPES everything, even mass banelines (most of the time zergs don't bother to upgrade them). The only loss was this one game last night when they had a protoss go MASS collosus, and our ally stupidly sends his MASS VIKINGS to the opponents base instead of helping us defend.

Am I the only one that's kinda sad to see a lot of the people making application videoes not take it seriously? While some of them might be funny to people on TL.net and other community sites, it's just look amaturish for any newcomers. And it sure as hell ain't gonna help expand esports towards a more mainstream audience if the "premiere" sc2 league outside of korea, is full of video clips from videos like these -

I don't think so. The actual questions are really, really boring. They're looking for some way of making themselves stand out.

Is it a requirement that the application videos be of themselves? I think someone like TLO would be better served with clips of his entertaining strategies.

I'd personally hope that by making E-Sports mainstream we didn't lose a lot of the stuff that makes it what it is.

I'd rather it remains where it is than lose stuff like commentators making silly jokes and stuff like these application videos.

Totally agreed. When people mention esports being more mainstream, they all seem to say it has to be more serious. SC2 would totally lose its charm

I would for the love of gaming love to have a mainstreamed game that is considered a sport by the general population where it is practiced.

Why?

More $$$ for players which can make a living out of it.

If you use Windowed Fullscreen there shouldn't be a border. Beyond that I dunno.

Alot of people want esports over here to be serious business. Remember after one of the MLG's DJ Wheat had a sort of behind the scenes interview with the players and on TL people were raving about how unprofessional it was blablabla.
