That TeamLiquid article is a joke. Protoss may have problems and need buffs but this "Protoss has never been good" crap is laughable, especially when talking about an event where 3 out of the top 4 were Protoss.

Don't waste your cash BRO.

what rig you got
i7 920 (first i7 model bought it nearly 3 years ago).
2xgtx 570 ( gonna keep those).
2gb of ram (i had 6 gb but 4 gb died 2 days ago, so i can't play deus ex which is making me a very sad person :( ).

i just want to upgrade to i7 sandy bridge (maybe 6 cores ?) and lga 2011 mobo.
i also need to buy laptop because my last one got crashed to the ground when i was solving a quiz last semester lol.

Today I read a comparison/benchmark they did on the upcoming AMD Bulldozer vs Sandy Bridge's and the Bulldozer got smacked around, badly. Kinda sad that AMD is so far behind now. I still remember how Athlon XP was the shit.

i don't know anything about the cpu wars between amd and intel but i thought the bulldozer was going to be a good competitor...
are they a lot cheaper than sandy bridge though ?

Upgrade PC, play on lowest settings.
not lowest setting, but i don't play sc2 on ultra (mix between medium high and ultra texture).
need the extra fps for the 200 army battles.

yes, but still way behind the curve.
his saving grace is his very unique mech style which a lot of pro's are having problems with because they can't practice against it. he also discovered some extremely good timings that may look weird but very effective.


edit: just found an awesome video from 7 years ago with goody and socke pre-metal.

Updated Patch Notes:


Infestor’s Neural Parasite can no longer target Massive units.


Lol WTF? What exactly are you meant to use Neural Parasite on now? It's pretty damn near useless.

This will just be like the fungal doesn't work on air units change where everyone was like "the fuck?" and Blizzard was like "jk you guys!"

It Kind of makes sense in PvZ, neuralling the colossus/archon/mothership and laughing at the protoss army may have been a bit broken but I don't support this nerf at all.

But yeah huge mothership and protoss buff.

im waiting until next year for ivy bridge

you know
3d transistors and all that jazz

So that would make Neural actually useful pretty much only against sieged tanks?

I can't think of any other unit where it wouldn't be more useful just to fungal it and the units around it. Unless you're doing something ridiculous and unreasonable like Neuraling a Templar and storming.

what socket does ivy bridge use ?

it might be the same one i'm waiting for ( i'm kinda confused with the whole ivy and sandy lol).

wow, mech will be viable again and it will counter infestor build.
fuck yeah....

edit: i think blizzard whole idea is not letting infestors counter every unit and force zerg to get air units to deal with coloss.

I think so too, but It could have been done better eg giving the colossi, mothership and carrier a passive.
 
Noob question: with the neural parasite change, what would be the answer to mass thors as zerg? Whatever I throw at such a ball melts instantaneously.

Roach Hydra Ling into Broodlord probably? Hydras probably aren't best unless you are super ahead in bases, as he can transition easily to mass Tanks and own the Hydras, but Hydras do really well against Thors. Roach Ling would probably be safer though, due to siege tanks.

And that neural parasite change...LOL. Wtf are you supposed to Neural if not massive units? The only thing I can think of is high templars and quickly getting off some storms against the enemy...which is an extremely rare opportunity.

broodlord roaches, its super hard for mech terran to get a fourth on most of the maps and he won't be able to do drops too so its way easier to get more expansions and start banking and doing tech switches.

tanks, immortals, ghost and ht.
 
Thanks. I forgot that thors don't deal much damage to armored air.

It happened twice to me on the ladder and both times, it caught me by surprise; I was not expecting 10 thors from 2 bases and I didn't have the tech for the broodlords. Neural parasite was interesting because I didn't have to do any change to my army composition.
 
It'd be ok if fungal didn't root massive, and if NP didnt effect archons but this feels like a huge nerf. Having to make corruptors against Protoss again would be balls.
 
Voids aren't massive, right? At least Infestors could still neural voids...but that's looking on the bright side for sure.

Was neural even really considered to be that big of a problem? I thought most people thought fungal was too powerful.
