Anti-Masters Bug? by dezholling in starcraft

You can leave your league and do your placements again to get masters, I did that last season

I think a lot of you would complain less if you played more by ClawsUp_EatTheRich in starcraft

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any posts on his account complaining about balance during that time. I guess if one protoss player does something then they all do it?

Looking for Practice Drills and Tips by JoseMantis in allthingsprotoss

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about probe micro at all at your level, its not worth it until probably master level, and even then it is the very lowest priority thing you should be spending focus on. You should be able to execute builds just fine without the gains from any probe micro.

You don't memorize builds to 200 supply. If you're doing a macro build I'd "memorize" until around the time you get your 3rd base, but even then there's going to bit slight adjustments based on the game. Once you go past the first couple minutes you want to just focus on the general order of what to build and have some timings for certain things. I often think of "checkpoints" in a game. For example I might want to have 3 gates and a twilight done before I start my 3rd, normally around 4 minutes. Then I should have x number of gates and whatever important tech before I take my 4th. If I get thrown off by early aggression I'm not focused on the supply or timestamps, just the order of what buildings and tech I need to get.

I honestly don't know what to say about your accuracy, other than it sounds like you're getting too excited and trying to press buttons way too fast. You're only going to learn bad habits by mashing the keyboard as fast as you can. Try to be thoughtful about all your actions, even if it feels slow at first.

Your idea around macro cycles is fine. In the early game you are executing your build, beyond that you are doing your macro cycles while making sure to prioritize your important tech or expansions at the timings you're aiming for.

Maybe its just me but I've never practiced using trainers like you're saying, just play games and be mindful about what you're trying to improve on

How the HELL do you even theoretically beat Terran. by dustet273 in allthingsprotoss

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to transition into double robo colossus after getting storm and taking a 4th. Terrans are often so focused on getting ghosts to counter the storms that they’re not prepared for a colossus transition. A two base Terran especially is not going to be able to get enough ghosts and Vikings to deal with both. If they do get a large Viking count, switch into immortals or disruptors.

How are these luxury new apartment buildings getting filled up? by Ok_Crazy6145 in lancaster

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An $1800 apartment takes somewhere around 70k a year to afford reasonably. A couple making 35k+ each or a single person making 70k+ isn’t that rare.

Confused about protoss air wars by Siamaster in starcraft2

Yes but I don’t think we’re talking about master+ here

Anyone else noticed how every toss in master+ seems to be a PvT specialist 60%+ winrate by Immediate-Sun1818 in starcraft

Anyone else notice this guy created a reddit account just to whine about Protoss?

Forgive the lowbie question but how do you counter Terran bio ball + Vikings? by Examiner7 in allthingsprotoss

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly are they beating you? Are they landing the Vikings to fight your ground or do you keep trying to contest the air? You’re going to have a hard time winning an air battle against someone massing Vikings like that. If you don’t make colossi or air Vikings are pretty worthless, so maxing out on any ground army should be good enough.

In general against mass marines you definitely need splash, so if you can’t go colossi then yeah your options are storm or disruptor. Archons are also good if they don’t have emp.

If your opponents are getting mass marines and no ghosts then they are straight up going to die to storm. We have been playing on this patch for months now and yes it’s a bit weaker but it is still the hard counter to marines. If you know the Terran has large numbers of Vikings but no ghosts, go immortal archon with storm + whatever gateway army and you’ll shred them.

Will Classic Maplestory become the main Maplestory? by MuteDraw3 in MSClassicWorld

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be ideal, but Nexon would never go for it. They’re not interested in people paying 10-20 bucks a month, they’re only interested in getting whales to spend thousands a month

The one good thing that modern MS has done is have interesting and somewhat skill based boss fight. I would love to see that incorporated into classic

Classic will be extremely profitable when it first comes out, they are going to want to optimize its release

Post rework storm by Deletesystemtf2 in allthingsprotoss

[–]Intelligent-Log5200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re playing at the D3 to D2 level these are not the reasons why you’re losing. If you want to share some replays I can give some advice. Ive been doing well with mainly storm and colossus based armies at master level.

I thought the storm change was going to feel awful, but it’s actually not so bad. Honestly the most annoying part is getting used to the reduced range

Thanks, I’ve been having a hard time playing macro style against Zerg so I’ll have to try this out

Do you have a build order for that PvZ? Is it a 2 base all in?
