hey guys, noob starcraft here.

so I just got 4 rax early pressure twice in a row. I lost horrible my first game because I didnt scout it. I barely just held it because I did spot it.

I play zerg.

In the second game I quickly put down 2 spines and massed up lings, but greatly underestimated just how many units were coming. I held it off just by massing enough lings but he almost killed him and killed almost all my drones before that. I assume I had the correct course of action in response? Just sucked at the execution lol.

Well, I can give you two advice for this:
1) Place ALL your lings between your base and your opponents, but out of their way. You would want to engage the marines when they go inside your spine range so they cant dance behind you, because lings will come behind, spines from front
2) I would suggest this: once you see at least two rax, simply put down the baneling nest. Once that engagement happens, if you come with your lings from behind, you can move 2 banelings and kill 10-20 marines with it, because they cannot back away at that point.

at your level ... can start with speedling expand build every game.

one thing though with the extractor trick ... do 10 drones, overlord first, then extractor trick.

the build is: extractor at 14 drones, spawning pool at 14 drones, drone until 15 and then an overlord. when the pool finishes, you should have enough money and supply to start a queen and 6 zerglings.

you'd want to pull your drones off the gas when you hit 100 gas; begin speedling research immediately.

because you'll have zergling speed, it becomes alot easier to get to the enemy ramp to take a peek and see what their up to and proceed with the matchup more carefully, and also take watchtowers.

anyway, any patches coming up? (mostly the one they said would fix the input error reached bug)

nope, but they really should fix the damn "invite" spam thing as soon as possible, damn bnet 2.0.

i guess no koreans want to spent their money on tickets, but as long as bomber is there i'm sold. i'm sure he want to redeem himself over what happened in mlg.

Is that the reason why they aren't coming, the plane tickets are too expensive? I keep seeing them all dropping out, and I never inquired as to why.

dreamhack is huge and everything but i think they have to win in order make it worth their while. some koreans have a legit reasons like NADA who is having an exam in the same week.

you can notice that ST guys are still in it probably because they have the motivation + torch being part of the team makes everything way easier.

Nada has final exams, MKP has to help his teammate for the final of the biggest GSL yet.

Inca, anypro and FD have not provided a reason (publicly at least). I heard DJWheat saying it could be Visa issues, they could also be the cost of the plane tickets since DH isn't providing those and if their teams are not willing to send them, they wouldn't probably pay out of their own pockets.

I've picked up an annoying habit of negating my hatchery rally points. At least this is an improvement over my previous habit of accidentally hitting escape and cancelling lair upgrades... Both stemmed from poor inject management. I gotta work on a smoother system.

my inject management is so fucking bad. i love the minimap so i just click my bases on it, click my queen, v, click hatch, then repeat. its so slow when i compare to some of the pros :(

but i gotta ask... why do you involve esc in your injects?

I select my queen, center the camera and then try to inject, but I usually do this without checking energy or if the hatch still has larva yet to spawn. So when I'm slacking and my queen has energy before the hatch has spawned it's last round of larva, I end up trying to inject a hatch that can't be injected so I'm stuck in the "choose a hatch to inject" mode.

The smart thing to do here would be to jump to another control group, I suppose. But my first instinct was to hit escape to cancel the targeting mode and that habit set in. Sometimes I do this too fast and I think I'm stuck in targetting mode, but in fact my queen just didn't have enough energy. So when I think i'm clicking the hatch to inject, I'm actually selecting the hatch. I see no inject go off and hit escape out of habit and poof goes the lair upgrade, lol.

I've kicked the escape habit, but it's been replaced it with right-clicking, so it's only created a different problem. Select a hatch on accident, right-click on it, and there goes both of my rally points, oops.

I really just need to pay attention to energy and larva spawn time instead of spamming commands when they're not necessary.

I really like the space cycle method for injecting hatcheries where you bind the backspace button to the space button and then have all your queens on one hotkey and you just select them, press v shift space click space click space click.

idk.
its really simple. I like it.

If you have the fundamentals down to where you know that each hatch needs larva, and each queen has energy to inject, then yea that sounds great.

If you're spammer like me... Queens would be running all over the map.

I will give it a try though, maybe it will force me to pay attention.

ive set backspace to one thumb button on my mouse, and control group 9 to the other. im trying to remember to group queens in group 9 and use those two buttons, but i never do :/

i use my spacebar too much to bind backspace to it, dunno how you guys dont use it

MKP from interview pretty much says if flash/jaedong/et al come to SC2, they will be top tier.

Damn would love to see that happen! Probably won't for a while though :(
