Terran-GAF...thoughts on the low ground wall?
Is it worth using in a TvP or TvT matchup? I feel that in a TvZ matchup, it isn't worth it unless you feel confident a baneling bust isn't happening, or if you also wall at the top (which seems counter-productive).

Not when it's the only single game you win and others had to win 8-10 bo3's to finish in the same spot.nilbog21 said:
It's definitely fantastic for denying information, your opponent wont' have a clue what build you're going for. The trade off is obviously that you're less secure than you'd normally be. For TvP, a stalker can pretty easily outrange you and safely knock down your depot. Marines/Marauders can open it rather quickly as well if you're facing an early bio push. I don't really think it's that much weaker against an early baneling bust, in either case it's just a matter of blowing up a single depot to get in.Awesome Animals said:
Personally when I see it in TvT it causes me to be more aggressive because it usually means that my opponent is teching hard and doesn't want me to know. That's some meta-game stuff that I wouldn't worry about at your level though. I would definitely recommend you try it out and see how it works for you, it can be very good in a decent number of situations.

Not a good enough reason to get seeded (well, Top 18), though. Especially with the quality of the lineup and considering the performance of the open bracket players.nilbog21 said:
Vibe 10-2 - beating ThisisJimmy, Painuser, LzGamer
dde 9-2 - beating Grubby
Gretorp 1-5 - beating Optikzero
Spades 8-2 - beating Hawk, Hashe, Kawaiirice
Kawaiirice 9-2 - beating StrifeCro, MasterAsia
ThisisJimmy - 8-2 - beating Antimage, Zelniq
Guess which one got the highest seed. >_>

Yea, I was just reading about it on tl and thought I would share and see others thoughts. I'll try it out a bit, but I definitely didn't consider the vision it allows my opponent. In either case, being in bronze league, means it doesn't matter much. I keep facing people who one base and don't scout.

New game, new win!
What did I do good? What did I do reeeeally bad? Any improvements from my side from my last games? I still got a problem managing my resources and all that. Should've probably gotten some more things from the engineering bay.
And I just gotta say that I LOVE siege tanks. Their range is just crazy.

The textbook answer is probably to expand aggressively and out econ him.Trickster said:
Fuck the textbook though, I would say blink stalkers would seem to be very effective. Get vision on his ramp with one, then warp in and stroll past the cannons. Get an observer to give you vision away from his ramp if you really want to laugh at him. Or, and I'm not really sure how effective this would be, but maybe a couple of Immortals to bust down his cannons with Stalkers to deal with the air?
You certainly improved from the last replay I saw. A few things:Sniper McBlaze said:
- Why did you keep sending a scv to scout the back of your base? If you've kept your eye on the minimap you would know that a scout never entered your base. If you're that paranoid though, just build a supply depot there. Instant vision.
- You're still not getting that orbital command soon enough. Unless you're going for a very specific build, always go for that 15-16 orbital
- You've built way too many production buildings for one base to sustain. EXPAND. This is something you'll learn easily eventually. When you start learning build orders, you'll be comfortable expanding.
- General rule of thumb, if you're going for more than one factory or starport, get two gas refineries beforehand.
- Never queue up multiple supply depots with one scv. It's a very bad habit and it's completely inefficient. You'll still get supply blocked. Queue up with multiple scvs instead.
Other than though, great job. Keep it up.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Overall a much bigger improvement. I'll go through the details on PM in Battle.net later on if you wantSniper McBlaze said:
Just one thing I REALLY need you to know:GRAB STIMPACK!!!! Your huge bio ball can become 10x better with the stimpack upgrade. We'll give you some stim practice when you're up for it later on

How do I counter Tanks. I see someone get tanks, and I don't know how to proceed.
Awesome Animals said:
You play terran, right? I would suggest getting your own tanks, taking the air superiority with Vikings and mixing in more Marauders. When you have the air superiority, you should be able to out-range his tank line and make him spend scans to allow his tanks to shoot at yours. Marauders will be able to tank damage better too.
If it's more of a mid/late game scenario, Banshees or BCs help a lot as you can force him to move/abandon his position on the map.
So I think my account was hacked (same email/pw as PSN... but with an authenticator) :| Tried to log in today and nothing worked. Changed my password and my authenticator still didn't let me in my account :| I have two different authenticators, (well, 3, but I haven't used my physical one in forever due to fearing the battery giving out) one on my ipod and one on my android phone and neither code would let me in. Started account recovery process :| sucks because I wanted to play tonight.
edit: Blizzard says it wasn't hacked... but neither of my authenticators is working :| Guess I have to call them tomorrow or something.

Theoretically, yeah, but with all the splash damage you need to be very careful.WedgeX said:

What's a good way to play a macro game agains't a zerg as protoss? I just feel like the zerg can expand a lot easier due to their army mobilty, making it hard to harass expos. Thus allowing them to quickly get a better economy while forcing me to stay on two bases because of the fear of muta harrass.
So even if I get a sizeable army, move out and beat the zerg in the initial confrontation, I still end up loosing because the zerg can make a new army very quickly.

Very carefully and with lots of scouting. I suggest getting hallucination pretty quickly and just sending off a phoenix flying around the map about once a minute or two, or when you're about to do some transition just to keep an eye on tech switches and expansion timings. Finding a spire and him going mutas, you can get blink for a smaller investment and have a mobile enough army to secure your third. Mutas pretty much kill you if you get caught with your pants down, but defensive blink -> HT/Archon makes is manageable.
