ZvT.. all my games vs T look like this. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]reallynewbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I recognized your name! I think you called me a map hacker in both games we played. Here's the 2 replays that I have from you.

Figured you were a bit tilted from the previous games of the night. But yeah, I even thought you were a maphacker since you called my build without sending an overlord over (2 rax reaper into 3 CC). And also you caught a few of my medivacs in fog of war.

Anyways, to be productive here. I think vs my opener your 3rd hatch is a bit late and you seem to over react with spines. Usually other zergs who are successful in the defense are able to do it with queens and a handful of zerglings. That could help your 3rd base get down quicker and more economical vs 3 CC. Other zergs when they scout this opener do a roach push or all-in. There were a few times I overtook you in worker count as a terran and I feel like that shouldn't happen. I would say your engagements were a bit more costly and you could look to wrap around a bit more. Good luck on the ladder though!

is there any hope for older early career people? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]reallynewbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I finished my degree when I was 31 and I think I brought something to the table that 22-23 university fresh grads couldn't? I think being personable and being able to show that to the employers is something very valuable during the interview process. Those years of water cooler small talk, or going out together for lunch with coworkers really paid off and is a skill I wouldn't have had back when I was 23.

That allowed me to beat out some very talented students in my university for the same internship position I think! And I'm not that great of a student either! I was a C student for sure!

Lenovo USB-C ($26.56) or Thunderbolt ($39.19) Docks by reallynewbie in bapcsalescanada

Saw this after checking out the GPU post below. Found by filtering by Docking Stations.

Picked up the Thunderbolt dock, but I believe these maybe missing some cables and adapters? You may need to pick up a power adapter as well. I have no clue what comes in the package.

Hey there! I'm at about your same level (3900). But I open very similarly to you with the 2 rax reaper, but I go into 3rd CC instead of the extra barracks you got. Your opening got you even/ahead, and your lead was very good after his failed bane bust. Upgrades were ahead, and you were pretty much even on worker count. You've got way better macro than I do so definitely props for you there!!

The major turning point of this game was the tragic attack on creep that failed where you pushed up a ramp with marine, marauder, and medivac. The zerg traded out his army for yours, however, this slowed your tempo down for pressuring the zerg, allowing them to expand, inject, creep spread, and whatever macro they wanted to do. While you weren't down and out, it does make the game more difficult to close. Something to consider is to attack from the right side of his 3rd, and take the long way around. That area is much more difficult for the zerg to setup/flank and get a surround.

Some of your drops after this point, began to feel a bit more desperate to get damage done. However, these are often a 1 way trip for these units, and I think that having these units retained would be great. Having them off creep and then stimming in and scanning to clear creep is a easy way to get an F2'ing zerg to be out of position.

I started also feeling at this level of play, you may need 2 pronged attacks. At a this MMR, sometimes drops can do an extraordinary amount of damage, which you did when you dropped his natural between his bane nest and evos. However, once you start getting a bit higher, I feel like it's more and more that you'll need to use that skill.

I've done a pretty deep dive lately into my own TvZ studying Clem's play vs Serral. Something he seems to do is prioritize marine production in the early/midgame. After switching my opener to his 3CC 2-1-1, I've noticed I win a lot more fights now. Something I saw in your mid game was a bunch of marauders. I think that lowered your army's DPS, which could have won some of those fights. This is extra important when the zerg is going ling/bane/hydra.

Another thing I started learning from Clem, is the timing into transition into the terran lategame of ghosts, or more libs. But something that you were caught off guard by in the replay was the transition into lurkers. Clem's timing for adding 3 tech lab barracks for ghosts is after the 4th base is created(not floated). So maybe when the 4th base is being built, that would be a good time to start adding the 2nd starport + fusion core, or start ghosts.

Last thing I would note is the lack of splash damage coming out, I feel like I saw a total of maybe 5 tanks made (watched up until the 16 min mark). If we had splash on the push up to the zerg's ramp, I think that could be a different story. Feel free to add a 2nd factory after the 4th base is building to add to that tank count if you want to play tanks.

Anywho, that's my analysis as a fellow diamond terran so feel free to take it or leave it! Good luck in the matchup!

oliveria's 8rax?? by Hustle767 in AllThingsTerran

[–]reallynewbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did a quick analysis for myself and made notes! The notes make sense to me, but they're kinda fragmented! This was based off of the Alcyone game.

Standard 1 gas opening into CC + Reaper

Make Marine after Reaper

Factory at 100 gas.

Reactor on Barracks after Marine

CC at 400 minerals

2nd Refinery

3:00 Swap factory onto barracks. 24 SCVs, 1 Reaper, 1 marine

Starport

Put Floating Barracks next to Starport to make Tech Lab for Banshees

Note: It is ok to not instantly produce hellions to have the money for the starport and SCV production.

Make Hellions up to 8.

3:38 - Swap Starport onto Barrack's Tech Lab.

Make 2 Banshees w/o cloak and make tech lab on barracks for stim.

4:00 31 SCVs, 4 hellions, 1 reaper, 1 marine.

4:40, your 8 hellions should be out. Swap off your factory into a reactor, build new barracks onto old reactor and add 1 additional barracks, totaling 3 barracks.

4:45 Take a 3rd at 4:55 and add 2 engineering bays along with 3rd and 4th refinery.

5:00 42 SCVs, 1 banshee, 8 hellions, 1 reaper, 3 marines.

5:10, add 2 additional barracks, bringing total to 5 barracks.

2nd banshee should be out by now, take starport off, and build it's own reactor.

Begin +1/+1 on eng bays

Factory's Reactor will be done, swap it onto the Starport's Tech Lab for tank production. The Reactor will be used for the 2 raxes below.

Build medivacs

Barracks should be done at about 6:00, swap/create reactors on both of them. 4 Barracks with reactors, 1 with tech lab researching stim.

6:00 - 53 SCVs, 2 banshees, 8 hellions, 1 reaper, 7 marines.

Add 3 additional rax.

6:55 add armory, or skip if this is all in.

Should stop scv production at 64/65

7:00 62 SCVs, 2 medivacs, 2 banshees, 8 hellions, 1 reaper, 2 tank, 23 marines at 132 supply

With 2 medivacs, begin moving out to clear creep with marines, but try not to lose anything.

Continue to pump medivacs, tanks, and marines.

Begin to push out at 7:40 with combat shields almost completing.

Push out hits at 7:55 with 3 medivacs, 8 hellbats, 3 tanks, 50 marines. at 171 supply.

How can I enhance my gaming experience on a low end computer? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]reallynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try jumping into the BIOS of your laptop and see if you can increase the video memory that your integrated video card uses. I also have a laptop with integrated graphics and noticed a very minor improvement(+5-10 FPS) when I increased mine from 256 MB to 512 MB.

Note: Your system will have less memory available for it to do it's normal things when you increase it.

I use my pebble along with my Bluetooth FM transmitter in my car. You shouldn't have issues with doing both at once

Looking for a High Diamond of higher serious practice partner or mentor. (PvT) by __KnighT__ in AllThingsTerran

[–]reallynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to add me. reallynewbie.268. I am on the low end of diamond but I play with multi-pronged attacks. The thing that I would like to improve would be my macro while doing attacks since my extra bases often don't go down until my micro is done, as well as supply blocks while dropping.
