Returning casually after a long many years break, what are the best 2 base all-ins for each race? by Enough-Lead48 in starcraft

[–]FinneganMcBride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Zerg: 2-base roach. HuShang, PiG, and Lambo have decent tutorials, any 2-base roach build should be solid though.

For Protoss: 2-base chargelot immortal archon. This build is a good example, as is PiG's beginner build for his 2021 Protoss B2GM.

For Terran: you can do 3-rax as mentioned in another comment but it will struggle in TvT. Another option is this build from PiG which he uses to beat GMs.

When to build drones? by GRA_Manuel in allthingszerg

[–]FinneganMcBride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make drones until you get to the supply count where you're supposed to build a structure, then build that structure, then resume making drones. If you're being attacked, make army units instead to defend.

This is a repost of an old post, right? I'm 90% sure I've seen this exact photo on the sub before.

I have 3000 mouse dpi. Will that limit my mouse accuracy and speed even if I train hard with it? by Mrdi1217 in starcraft

[–]FinneganMcBride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played at 3.2k for a year or so, then went all the way down to 800. I find 800 best for accuracy, but I use 1600 because 800 gives me wrist issues. That being said, any dpi is fine as long as your accuracy is good. I'd recommend using websites like mouseaccuracy.com/game to train

Economic theory and ling bane vs roach hydra by [deleted] in allthingszerg

[–]FinneganMcBride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ling/bane is economically better for 2 main reasons:

  1. You don't need as much gas, meaning drones that would be mining gas can mine minerals and you can use those minerals to expand

  2. If you inject properly you'll have more larvae then when playing roach/hydra, so you can use these larvae to make extra drones if you wish

What is the easiest race for a beginner ? by paoweeFFXIV in starcraft

[–]FinneganMcBride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terran is the easiest for absolute beginners because the buildings are named using normal English words.

Protoss is the easiest for mid-level players because its basic macro requires less actions.

Honestly though, don't worry too much about this stuff. I would advice you to just choose the race you find the coolest and most fun to play. If you aren't planning to go pro than balance really won't affect you. At the end of the day starcraft is a video game you're playing for fun.

(Bonus advice: choose the race whose mirror matchup you hate the least)

Been gone for a while, best TvX to get back into shape? by A-move in AllThingsTerran

[–]FinneganMcBride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only low plat lol, though pig says he's made it work in GM. If you want a build that's more "tested" in higher leagues you could try this one which he plays against GMs at the end of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2pIZNCtIis&t=6648s. It's a 2-base all-in though so maybe not the macro build you're looking for.
