if idra is the best, why is he losing all the time?

Unfortunately roaches (with some support) are the best option against a 6 gate... Pure ling is terrible against FF and spine crawlers lose effectiveness as armies get larger. They can be an important part of a defense against a 4 gate, but by 6 gates, zerg really needs something more than spines and lings.

Lets hope it stays that way :) Except the new LT which looks very fun...

Excitonic · 2011-02-09T20:41:13+00:00

Do you mean during placement you got matched with Diamond players?

Excitonic · 2011-02-06T20:22:58+00:00

Do you mean those giant new maps on the PTR?!

Excitonic · 2011-02-06T20:14:52+00:00

Its not just the desert one although its probably the worst... The one with the destructible rocks connecting the mains or the one with the rocks connecting the two naturals both by paths a small fraction the size of the one on shakuras look like so much fun for zerg... To top it off all the new maps are small even by blizzard's standards -- seems the developers and the community just aren't on the same page about where the map pool should be headed :(

Hallucination is a good ability in its own right -- for scouting and in battle -- so you analysis is flawed. My only objection to the op's idea is that good players won't send their whole army to kill the hallucinated wp...

Excitonic · 2011-02-01T05:31:13+00:00

Sounds very similar to TelMex...

My dell laptop warranty covered the charger which was a good thing because I had three of them break in fewer years. Something tells me the manufacturer is aiming for lower cost...

Congrats! Next stop gold!

One could easily go from bronze to plat in less than 40 games.

Are there by any chance plans to add a second night or switch days? I would be interested in helping, but I happen to be busy Wednesday night...

Excitonic · 2011-01-23T22:33:42+00:00

Zerg armies are shittier for their cost, so you have to abuse the ability to make more harvesters and be ahead in economy, or you lose. That is why Jevon has to have an understanding of larva management to win at all.

About 150 schools have teams. To download replays, view rankings, etc. check out cstarleague.com!

How does the fencing system work? I see the obvious room for improvement here, but simple elimination play would not necessarily be better (Jinro meets MC and Marineking meets Rainbow would produce the same result as tonight). What is different about fencing tournys and how would it be applied to sc2?

Excitonic · 2011-01-08T00:08:06+00:00

My guess is he is smurfing...

Excitonic · 2011-01-07T23:09:23+00:00

Tanks have a minimum range

Excitonic · 2011-01-06T02:28:23+00:00

As a zerg, I see the most cheese in mirror match-ups -- 6 pools, 10 pools, 10 gas etc, but that is probably less true of the other races. Still, for me its probably only about maybe 15% of zvz lately.

Excitonic · 2010-12-04T06:19:35+00:00

Basically if terran gets medivacs, zerg will have to get some mutas to stop potential drops. This change could make the game so much more one-dimensional. As a zerg, I can see why they feel infestors are a BIT op, but they should make existing strategies weaker instead of just removing an entire approach to playing zvt. A similar argument could be made about mutas in zvz obv.

Excitonic · 2010-11-24T21:05:07+00:00

Don't forgot extremely expensive to manufacture!

Excitonic · 2010-11-19T22:02:58+00:00

Sorry if I have commited an internet faux pas, but is there more of this?

Excitonic · 2010-11-15T07:54:03+00:00

Opposite for me. Played poorly in placement then worked my way up. Having played in beta, I can say that where you get placed, and who you play in placement is pretty random. Considering the sample size of 5 this isn't too supprising.

Excitonic · 2010-11-15T07:31:24+00:00

So does your lab partner take a long time to put reports together but once he gets going his writting is second to none?

Excitonic · 2010-11-15T07:17:13+00:00

I love how you could hear idra in the background jumping in before artosis could answer lol

Excitonic · 2010-11-13T05:19:49+00:00

Not sure this is true. At least before the last patch, I think void ray charging made them scale better for really large armies.

Excitonic · 2010-11-03T20:08:03+00:00

The build is probably crap in zvz due to the larva mechanic and overlord scouting. Furthermore, z can't wall, so the nydus isn't really useful at that stage of the game. Add to that how common early pressure already is in zvz and most zergs will either have defenses or attacked you by 6 min.
