QUOTE(RtP|DEV @ Aug 23 2010, 10:29 PM) W is the hotkey for warpgate. Make sure you match your production building with your economy. If you're on 2 saturated base, 4 warpgates and a robotics is not enough. During mid game, make sure not to get supply blocked. This is how i do it, my own mental checklist during the game: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're producing units constantly from 3 warpgates, you need to add pylon after a cycle. 3 warpgates = 6 supply per cycle Since build time for 2 probes = 1 warpgate unit build time, thats 2 supply per cycle. So, when you select "W" then press S Z E -> select 4(my nexus hot key) the press "E" "E" -> put a pylon. Then repeat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your producing from 6 warpgates and 2 robo, let say you're making colly for PvZ: (2 colly x 6) + (6 wapgates x 2) + 2 probes = 26 suply or 3/4 pylons per cycle. 6(my hotkeys for robo) "C" "C" -> "W" S S S S S S -> 4 "E" "E" -> straight put 3 or 4 pylons. This is the rough estimation of the build time , so always look at your supply count. this is liek starcraft theory class |

QUOTE(noob4life @ Aug 24 2010, 08:00 PM) got cannon rushed 3 times so far in bronze league... which is quite alot considering the number of protoss i fought... all 3 of it failed though lol. I think its really hard to pull off. Either that or my opponents suck. I just 2-gate + chrono and the rush doesnt work anymore. How u 2 gate chrono? The canon already in your base b4 your zealot out. Still can counter?QUOTE(RtP|DEV @ Aug 24 2010, 08:00 PM) Usually when i play PvP on ladder, i place my first pylon like this: U seal off the whole entrance wif pylon? Then u will need a lot pylon on same area and your ground unit can move through. Wat is YABOT?![]() When i scouted 2 gate build, i look for 2 things. How much probe he has, did he stop probe production? Look out for the blue lights above nexus. Next i'll look if he chrono boosted his gateway or not. If 1 of those 2 thing happens, i will save my chrono boost and put my 2nd gateway on the blue box to completely seal off my entrance. Then go for blink stalkers. If he decides to attack, laugh at him after his 5/7 zealots die to 2/3 stalkers. If he decides not to attack, you're still ahead since he either stop probe production or didnt chrono boost his nexus. You can seal off your entrance this way on every ladder map except scrap station and 5 o'clock starting position on delta quadrant. I've tested it on YABOT. |

QUOTE(noob4life @ Aug 25 2010, 08:32 AM) Eh ? Actually i already had 1 zealot and 2 gates when the cannons came. ( i didnt get that cybernetics core, was zealoting ) Like I said maybe my opponent sucks... i left about half of my mineral line untouched to prevent his cannons from raping my probes. ( his cannons were at one side ) Theres still a bit of income there... so just chrono zealots when u have the chance... and like wat everyone said, surround and rape his probe. make sure no other probes enter ur base while ure doing it. U have to sacrifice those probes though. But once u counter it... its gg for him lol. oh means he make the 1st canon in the fog of war. that time u shud b just about to finish your warp gate. if he make first canon n your base then will already finish b4 your gateI actually didnt realize his probe was hiding at the edge of my base until he warped in his 3rd cannon. ( 1st and second warped under fog of war zzzzz ) |
