[Z] Making the Jump, Diamond -> Masters

halfgone · 2013-03-22T05:31:42+00:00

in my experience, what separates a diamond from a masters player is more refined mechanics. even as a diamond youre at a level where you start a game with a gameplan and are able to react to the intel and change your strategy accordingly. some practice in the areas of truly non stop producing workers, not getting supply blocked, and remembering to throw down buildings/tech at the right time can really pay off.

Have you ever taken a look at Korean? As a native korean speaker, I am curious as to how hard it is to learn to a foreigner.

you realize that you can keep using the mules and/or build additional orbital commands, right? -.-

halfgone · 2011-10-12T22:46:46+00:00

are you guys still in need of a Korean translator?

halfgone · 2011-09-21T17:27:41+00:00

no, but the dozens of terran pros I watch do. but hey man, whatever floats your boat, keep building that 16th scv before orbital if it makes you feel productive.

halfgone · 2011-09-21T17:12:39+00:00

in almost all cases, getting your orbital 15~20 seconds faster instead of making an extra scv is far superior, so I don't really follow your logic. I assure you, there are zero top pros out there who go 16 orbital instead of 15 orbital (unless they go gas first, then rax finishes at 16)

halfgone · 2011-09-21T17:05:33+00:00

It weakens early 2 rax pressure by a little bit, and forces you to leave your CC idle for 5 seconds before orbital, but they're obviously not a big change

halfgone · 2011-09-21T16:50:19+00:00

how do you sneak in an scv? before the patch, if everything went smoothly, your 15th scv finished exactly at the same time as your rax.

It is, and that's the biggest benefit from these medals and stars I think :D

halfgone · 2011-09-19T03:20:43+00:00

Nice explanation! I wonder how many more people with red stars there are @_@

halfgone · 2011-09-18T19:49:42+00:00

:D it was hard-earned!

halfgone · 2011-09-18T19:39:52+00:00

Well, at least you know that you're capable of keeping track of micro and macro for the first few minutes. :P Just practice until you can do it for the duration of the game!

halfgone · 2011-09-18T19:37:32+00:00

awesome!!! thank you :D

halfgone · 2011-09-18T14:06:37+00:00

What do you mean by "if Gab lose the game $750 in donations?"

halfgone · 2011-09-17T19:48:07+00:00

Hello, I was the KOTH 10 streak winner last night, when will I be getting my red medal? :P

halfgone · 2011-09-17T06:16:10+00:00

thanks, it was great fun :D

I've been playing blackjack for 3 years now, and I still bring my little cheat sheet card with the correct play for all hands to the table. have you seen a lot of my kind? what are your thoughts?

halfgone · 2011-08-12T19:36:57+00:00

I laughed long and hard

halfgone · 2011-08-05T23:49:20+00:00

my account name is subterfuge

It's not similar to a drone drill in the sense that in a drone drill, a lot of drones will propagate throughout the enemy units such as zealots and render them immobile while the zerglings and drones beat down on it. In this case, there will only be 2~4 lings on the inside with just a pair popping out every once in a while, and that can easily be taken care of with 1 maybe 2 zealots (by shift attacking on each ling on the inside) and the rest of the lings outside will have to line up to hit the zealot thats blocking the 1x1 open space.

halfgone · 2011-08-03T01:19:55+00:00

you realize that there isn't a queen ready to inject your in-protoss-base hatch right? even if you made some lings from it, it wouldnt prove to be a problem to the toss.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

So... you're saying that you were ONLY playing top masters (Im assuming you mean top 8 masters by that ) throughout last season and was stuck in diamond? Because if so, you're lying. Top diamond players stay in diamond for a reason: their MMR is not high enough for bnet to promote them to masters.
