that's why I've always said I hated "pro" gaming, I really don't want to be able to guess how a game is going to start for the first 10 minutes every single time, how is that fun.

[@reubenmanzo2054]

As a fellow gold player, I'm offended by these games.

[@MiguelDiaz-ty1jx]

It's Zape here! Haha. Yeah, after the game i realise on the unit tester that with good micro, one void ray can actually kill 2 cannons, then kill the pylons, then the other 2 cannons. But you know, how many draws do you see on SC? Isn't this way cooler?

[@reallyhightemplar4013]

It can kill all the cannons but like, slooooowly.

[@davidcast7282]

Honestly, I think probe rush and void ray probably could have killed both pylons, those cannons and if not the probes aren't valuable and you can always pull back the void ray before it loses health

[@mathiaslepage7247]

dude your game was awesome

[@MrSpleenface]

@@davidcast7282 Rushing the pylons is a bad idea, they have more health than cannons and expose probes to getting hit by 4 cannons at once. If you probe rush either pair of cannons, the void ray can kill the pylons from out of range of the surviving pair once the first pair goes down

[@davidcast7282]

@@MrSpleenface yeah there's probably a dozen different ways you can do it.honestly though just might as well Rush with the probes they don't offer you anything in the game anymore and you can always pull back the void Ray it's a no cost experiment as long as your micro is somewhat decent

Don't lift up the factory to get high-ground vision of the spinecrawler. Use it to build a starport and then use that to build a medivac (even though you have zero units it can heal) and then use that to get high-ground vision. Some 200 IQ moves that game.

[@jacobroebuck5648]

Lowko - Cueing building construction, while it ties up minerals, is sometimes very helpful with those of us with less than stellar APMs. It would be great for you to cast a game where you analyze how good Gold League players compensate for their lack of APM. (I do enjoy watching these crazy ones though!)

I'm curious what Lowko would think about the idea of end-game "ultimate" upgrades. Each faction has a handful to choose from, but once you grab one it locks you out of the others. Something to shake up the end-game meta once the whole map is filled with bases and such.

[@themanidentifiedasdinosaur8138]

I don't play SC2 but I played SC1 before and one counter to this planetary thingy is to have those tunnels where you can go from one place to the other. Just make one of those connecting to the terran base then spam zergling. Since this planetary cheese needs a lot of resources, he won't have defense for the mass zergling. Just make the tunnel and spam zergling. I'm sure he'd win.
