I've had starcraft 2 since it came out but only ever played the campaigns since 1v1 scared me. I really like professional starcraft though and after years of watching you cast I finally played some games against real people. I'm really bad but I never would have given it a shot if not for your enthusiasm about this game. It's a really intimidating game but you make it seem approachable to someone like me who hasn't really ever played an RTS, you explain and talk about what's going on in the game and discuss strategies instead of just saying what's happening and assuming everyone follows. Glad I stumbled onto your channel, maybe one day I'll match with you on the ladder and I can play the person who put me onto the game lol

[@wojurera3131]

You have to be patient with yourself, start out simple, figure out what race you fit with the best, and be okay with a loss, and learn from it. It is extremely rage inducing if you allow it to be, it definitely favors the more aggressive player, vs matches I mean.

Going into the final fight of game 1, HeroMarine has a 20 army supply lead. After the opening engagement, it jumps up to a 50 supply lead before dropping down below Maru's army supply. Absolutely insane.

[@Durandurandal]

I'd imagine that pylons and overlords build quicker than depots because, in combination with supply drop, pylons are also needed for other structures to work, while overlords are also used as scouts and transport, while a depot is a building that you generally don't have to do anything with? So pylons are key targets, and overlords are in harm's way a bit more?

Could have happened to anybody and a smaller man would have folded, but he endured new Space Marine training because he loves his country. RIP.

FYI Kevlar is only decent against handguns. Any center-fire rifle round will zip through it. For actual combat you need Level III or better plate armor. Of course my anti-armor rifle will zip clean through 3" of steel plate (the thickest I could find) and no body armor in the world can stand up to that, and few vehicles short of main battle tanks.

Might be worth noting that unseiged tanks deal more damage to single target over time, but not for short engages (e.g. if you would only get one shot off, or 2 sieged shots vs. 3 unseiged shots). But this is SC2 so everything is situational

[@lokmanaraar7237]

About the depot thing , they take 3 more seconds , the reason is how strong proxy rax is if that 3 second nerf didn't exist , it goes all the way back to wings of liberty

[@lucifersatan8240]

Ignite afterburner is the ability that the upgrade "Rapid reignition system improves" I presume it lowers colldown but it might extend duration.

[@Jamndude3]

I believe the reason that supply depots take longer to build is to balance command centers offering more unit supply than the hatchery or nexus. It is mostly an early game balance mechanic because terrans are slightly more reliant on units for early game defense, at least on paper. Since terrans also don't have as many supply heavy units as the other races in the mid game, this falls off as the game goes on, in theory.

[@nahruz.w3044]

Imagine an EMP on all of those Raven. Its gonna be hard cuz there are detectors, but zero energy raven is like overseer that consume supply. Practically useless. Guess that would be 2022 TvT

[@nahruz.w3044]

Wait! EMP on battlecruiser, now that would be next level starcraft. Ghost idle in bases like high templar to catch "Battlecruiser runby". Hope what I am saying is not viable tho, love this TvT development

[@manuelaguilera4173]

From what I understand the algorithm likes it better when people watch 100% of a video, as it picks it up as good content, in a manner of speaking, when a video get's let's say 30% watch time the algorithm doesn't suggest it as much (even to subscribers), resulting in losses for the youtuber, so while this would be an viewer friendly strategy, it would actually be bad for Lowko.
