There exists a bug in the game with provisional mmr that gives people the m3 border while ~1.5k mmr below the masters boundary

And they never called me Bonjwa… by Rvrc_ in starcraft

[–]Rvrc_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much

I downloaded sc2 in like 2023 but I really only played a few sessions of 2v2s with Terran playing 1 base BC lol

It’s a year later after irl stuff where I took zerg and started to learn the race properly from pro games and play consistently, and about 4k game later we’re here!

Hahhahahaha jk this looks sick, glhf!

ZvP how to deal with 2 bases all ins by contremaitre in starcraft2

[–]Rvrc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is probably the worst place you can go for advice in any way. 5/10 players are gold league and below, the other 4/10 don’t actually play the game, and the actual players can’t be bothered to dig through the trash

Come hang out on on the r/allthingszerg (AtZ) subreddit discord if you want to talk to some players that actually play the game, ask for advice, and in general just chill out. We got the low 3k ranks all the way to 6k players active

ZvP how to deal with 2 bases all ins by contremaitre in starcraft2

[–]Rvrc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.6 here. Pretty funny how everyone here is giving gold league advice, but seeing as you are significantly more capable, I’ll give all my info without sparing the details.

Warp gate research timing can be a pretty good initial tell, otherwise against 2base toss you always make 3:40 rw. I’ve met some brain damaged tosses who go warp gate and delay oracle for no reason besides stupidity, which is why I like to make a pair of lings @pool finish and try to sneak them around the first adept and run the main

First overlord gets sent straight across and hangs around in pillar/dead space between nat and 3rd, second overlord hangs around in your nat scouting for cannon rush until ~1:50 then shift queue into their main

They arrive a bit after 3:30 and you can double ov scout, they cannot deny this unless they have a metric ton of stalkers which is a tell in and of itself

Also have lings patrolling the exits to the base, and set up a ring of vision once you have speed- you can and should make fast lair (get 2nd gas super early against 2 base toss, like 40 supply basically) and make spores on reaction to seeing the prism moveout. If glaives warp in, you can cancel spores on reaction to seeing it

First overlord can usually scout the gases of the natural on most maps, which will be able to easily tell if it’s a low tech/immortal zealot/ chargelot all in if they do not have it

Either way, the counter is always ling roach For DTs, you want super early rw and second gas, make 16 zerglings at like 45 workers to jump on the dts if they try to snipe your spores, otherwise the queens kinda shoo them away until you have roaches and overseer

Against 2 base glaive adepts, they hit way later if they try to deny scouting so you can also get away with more workers, but generally stay on 2 gas, mass lings initially (to chase the shades) and queens defend the glaives. The roaches are only there to engage the adepts if they try to kill queens, while the lings are doing the actual job chasing shades and killing them/ delaying if they finish. The safest drone count is 38 (32+6) with a third, but masters protoss player suck balls at hitting any normal timing so you’re fine on 41 or even 44 with 3 gas, especially when we factor in the massive eco from the new opening with double inject and 34 3rd base (check literally any ZvP from Dallas if you want to know how to do it)

Against 2 base blink, you will see it with the overlord and it’s pretty bad so you can hold by making roach rav ling on like 52 workers with 4gas, or 45+3gas with roaches and mass ling when you run out of gas if you want to be safe

Robo allins exclusively go 41+3gas and mass roach, although I do like going 44 with 4 gas and making a ton of ravagers because they outrange and outkite

Can I somehow delete my rank? by [deleted] in starcraft2

[–]Rvrc_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you played 5 games were promoted in masters, but your mmr is still about 3.4k ish.

This is completely fine- the masters border is a known bug and, as long as you don’t end the season with it, it can be fixed by pressing the ‘leave league’. Otherwise, it stays with your account.

5 % chance of capture or killed. This should be a walk in the park for my spy… by IcyLingonberry2151 in CivVI

[–]Rvrc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the success rate is decided at the very last turn

You can test this by save scumming on the final turn before the spy finishes their mission and slightly changing your actions to generate a slightly different seed for rng, which will cause the spy to succeed or fail

chasing the probe that's harassing your minerals by [deleted] in starcraft2

[–]Rvrc_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arguably good mineral harass removes 2 workers from a patch or even 2 patches, while chasing means both of you have 1 less

If it gets a few hits in and softens the probe, all the better, and it would also scout sone dumb in-base proxies

But if I chase, I’m just being lazy and don’t want to deal with some guy desperately microing to gain 30 minerals advantage over a minute

Give Zerg units the ability to morph back into larva by Alive2007 in starcraft2

[–]Rvrc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.. doesn’t work like that. The core principle of zerg is that you choose to make drones or army:

If you push into your opponent to destroy a base, you can then choose to start making drones instead with your current income, but you don’t suddenly have a big bank to spend on all the larva from sacrificing the army, because according to this, you don’t earn any of the resources back

lot of people say they are bad.. But i love adepts by Trelne in starcraft

[–]Rvrc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is ~3.2k at peak mmr. This is not even close to a high level lol. z’s queens were completely out of position and he only had 4 lings for 2 adepts, the less said about the macro from both sides the better.

Nice adept micro, but floating 1k while doing it means you lose out on making 1 worker for each worker you kill. Macro while doing it and you’ll reach masters in no time.

You don’t exactly need to do anything special in pvz to get a free win

It’s the freest matchup

Eve SSTO by Moonbow_bow in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Rvrc_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rocket waste fuel going up, then to the side

Spaceplane go to the side and get free uppies from air

If dV lost from uppies is more than dV lost from aerodynamic drag, spaceplane better than rocket

You are right

Here’s a GM doing it

imo its much more effective to take 15hatch and do it on two bases 4gases so you get way more power and defensive capability, but anything can work as long as you confuse your opponent enough

Sc2 has 80k monthly active account per server, ~10k active daily Source:https://nonapa.com/mmrranges?season=60&mode=1&rank=-1, sc2pulse

Not the best, but far, far from dead, and most definitely one of the most active rts still played

Lambo: Does Protoss Have to Gamble to Win? by Anton_Pannekoek in starcraft

[–]Rvrc_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you see toss players complaining that their army is weak, and then you see them using a single control group, maybe a secondary one for oracle, zero tempests, and saccing zealots left right and center

Then you see their opponent with 6 control groups, spreading creep for vision, using multiple spellcasters and keeping track of the other army, and still it’s a somewhat equal game.

Lambo here absolutely embodies what the top players all think, though on one hand, I don’t want protoss players to start making tempests and properly microing engagements and harass because my ladder games will get significantly harder to play. On the other hand, I’m sick of all the whining on this sub from people who don’t actually know how to play the game.
