u have to quote idra for that, "marines the counter for banelings"

i met ppx twice in ladder when we were silver and gold during season 1,lol

that makes your profile picture


true

true, so sad cannot watch protoss game when it is near final as i am a protoss player

this is top top level play, no people in this forum will encounter this situation so this statistic is not valid, in middle level play, some race is OP, if u check the overall statistic, u will find terran's winrate is more than any other race (60-65%), the chart is in this thread, find previous page

if u were saying everything is balanced, blizzard no need to hire people to work for the race balance anymore

battle cruisers counter archons xP

btw im really impressed by jinro's tvp style from mass clocked banshee switching to BC

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/FE_4...t_Banshee_Build

tlo did it a lot, but jinro did it with great success in the gsl

what i understand about MMR is that your win rate compared with the players u played with, it is not related to the ladder point u have

for example, u have 1000 ladder point in diamond and vsa player with 800 diamond ladder point in ladder but yet the loading screen shows that both of u are even (neither side is favoured nor slightly favoured), this means both of u have the almost same MMR despite the ladder point.

to make it clear, people can have high MMR even if he only has 40% win rate and get promoted, most importantly the wins are coming from the strong players u are playing against, and the loses are coming from the stronger players u are playing against (which a lose in that wont lower your MMR much), and eventually u will still match against strong player consistency just to give u more chance to get promoted

sarcasm owns

totally, i got totally owned by this in a game when i 1 gate fe

yea, almost got pwned by a plat with 1 1 1,,what a joke,lol

get cheese a few times and u will automatically go scout early, when i was diamond last year, i scout at 6 when i vs zerg cuz i scare kena 6 pool, what the hell right
cuz every time i was too panic when i see early pool and had no time to prepare even if i scout at 9, lol


To all the fellow protoss, to counter 1 1 1, what i would normally do is push with 1 VR 1 Sentry and the rest Stalkers when warp tech is finished with 3 Chrono boast...by all means pleaze, keep ur VR alive this is very important cuz it lets u see the high ground, in this case i dont bother to build the 2nd VR cuz all my money will be spending on stalkers

Huk 1 gate 20 expand can be done also, but this is harder, usually i do this when both of us spawned furthest away by ground...

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=223726

Rule of Thumb
1) scout with your 1st stalker, hug ur opponent's ramp when before u go up his ramp to see whether got marauder shooting u, then u can run away, if not when u go up the ramp u have no chance of running cuz of the marauder slow - credit for combatex. if u see only marines, u can assume marine tank banshee raven coming to u, otherwise, marine tank which this will hit rather earlier cuz the terran would be skipping banshee and raven, keep going up and down the ramp to make sure he has only marines

2)if all marines, throw down a robo and twilight council ASAP when u have the gas, throw down 2 more assimilators in the meantime. chrono 2 obs 1 in your base 1st and 1 in your opponent base 2nd, if Marine Tank Banshee Raven, the initials 2 stalkers should be in your main mineral line, warp 2 more in your natural to def vs banshee, warp 3 more gates, other than those chronoboast i have mentioned, use all of them for ur probes considerably, no units are made during this phrase except for the 2 stalkers



3)get charge and chrono it, warp only zealots and tons of it, dont engage with them when u dont have charge, dont engage with your stalkers until ur chargelots clear all the ground units cuz P.Diddy wont allow it, when all his ground units died, warp all stalkers, chrono them if necessary


as we all know, 1 1 1 doesnt hit just once, just get as much chargelots and stalkers as u want, they wont be able to break u, u might also need blink if they keep send banshee attcking ur mineral line

if Marine Tank only, go rampage with your zealots and stalkers to the watch tower and engage him in the middle of the map when his siege tank cant prepare for it, dont bother to research the charge cuz u probably cant have it when his push come, or cancel it if ure researching it, try to probes up during this


try to occupied all the watch towers during the game, get immortals only when u have extra money (prolly due to poor macro), cuz u have to get everything in your arsenal to defend this push

hope this helps

by the time stim pack research completed, i would have my charge alrdy completed

i find NA players more pro, dunno is it i got major delay there make i always lose @@

zealots wont target svcs which are repairing thors, imba terran ai

i googled it a lot of times, all ppl are complaining, but blizzard just doesnt care cuz not a lot of ppl go thor rush

idk how the ai works but my zealots are just not targeting the scvs efficiently, maybe zealot only target the 1st scv which repair the thor, but after finishes the repair the zealot target back the thor, or target another scv at another side if the scv is the one which starts the repair 1st..idk if u know what im saying but i think this is why

even dSelect use his scv to block zealots attacking marines and marauder in the mineral line, zealots just try very hard to dodge the scvs to reach the marines and marauder

terran ai OP

i a+move all the way, it just looks stupid that my zealots just dancing around the thor

what if the scvs finish repairing the thor and the zealot which was on the way to hit the scv but turn all the way back to attack the thor, consider my previous post

this one i know, thats why i said its OP as hell
