2gate mass Zealots vs Zerg making a comeback.
Although with the new big maps I don't think it will be as big of a problem.

iiNet is an Australian ISP. They are hosting the files locally (and you can access them from the net). Anyone can access the files from iiNet's server, which will give a much better performance for Australian users. Plus they are ad free.mcrae said:
Also, when iiNet users access the files from iiNet's server it doesn't count towards monthly download caps.
Copenhagen Games are on just now, got players like TLO, Ret, MC, and Morrow: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/Khaldor
just played a sweet game.
scouted with ings, didnt see any cannons, burrowed roaches into main, formed them up so his probes couldnt escape (lots of buildings nearby) and had 6 mutas waiting near the expansion. my overlord near the expo could see the stalkers protecting the mineral line, so i unburrowed the roaches and his whole army 1a'd into his main, i let my roaches die while killing off his expansions probe line. i saw 3 collossus so made 7-8 corrupters to compliment my now hydra/ling only army. he had a last ditch effort attack which i shut down pretty well.
earlier that game i got 4 lings into his base because he sent his first zealot to attack my in-base extractor. they got a pylon. then i proceeded to pick off a zealot and stalker en-route to his late 4 gate, which i quickly tossed up 3 spines and sacc'd my queen and held.
such a satisfying game.

They should buff gateway build times AFTER you finish warp gate research.
So a Zealot/Stalker/Sentry/DT/HT take ~5 seconds less to build from a Gateway than Warp Gate cooldown for example. Right now Warp Gate cool down is around 5 seconds faster than Gateway build time.
That would give superb macro players a reason to consider getting the Warp Gate research but not actually using Warp Gates.

Hmm 2 gate rushes wee.

Current Times:
Gateway = X + 5
Warpgate = X
Revision:
Before Warpgate Research
Gateway = X + 5
After Warpgate Research
Gateway = X
Warpgate = X + 5
Shorten Warpgate transformation time as well.
Sets a clear defenders advantage for pvp and helps in the other matchups as well.
If you made it so Gateways were faster than Warpgates you'd have to add some sort of mechanic where you couldn't go:
Zealot
To Warpgate
Zealot
To Gateway (while WG is cooling down)
Zealot
Since that would allow for way quicker production, theoretically.
Though I bet you some group of people would praise such a stupidly micro intensive method of increasing production as "bringing complexity back to Starcraft!"

Warpgate cooldown is exactly 5 seconds faster than the unit build time out of a gateway, but warping in from a warpgate is exactly 5 seconds as well. Wargates don't actually build units faster, they just get there where you want them faster.

You actually used to be able to do this, then blizzard made the warpgate transformation take a lot longer so that you couldn't accelerate building units this way. And lots of people on TL did praise the guy who figured it out iirc.

Not how it works. Opponent is picked before maps, from what I've understood.

I'm thinking it is going to be similar to WCIII RPG mechanics. But that means they could introduce heros to SCII MP, which would be bad.
CatZ needs to have them taken away from him and put into protective services.zoukka said:
