You can watch all the matches live in standard quality for free though!

Can you provide a link to the site, i might sing up if it is reasonable
 
Earlier I won against a protoss who is in diamond rank 22, pretty chuffed about that. I'm still getting owned by zerg though. Anyone got some decent TvZ replays since the patch?

It's surprising how many mass roach builds there are right now. Playing some 2v2s, I found I had to go triple robo immortal off of two bases, as even with blink the stalkers couldn't stand up to it.

It's like being back in the beta.
 
Interested to get some feedback from Zerg and Protoss players.

Since the patch, I'm finding early (sub 8 mins) Terran harrassment much harder and if it fails, an easy roll over for the opponent. My usual staples are a quick 8 marine medi drop on mineral line (which is a bit of an all in move) or early MM push. Neither seem to have been as effective post patch, although I'm not too sure why.

So, P & Z players, what early push / harassment do you find most crippling when playing against Terran? Any particular strats that you feel you are particularly vunerable too at the moment?

Cheers.

Gas before barracks.
as soon as barracks pops you should have enough for a factory.
get 2nd gas up here im guessing.
then reactor on barracks, switch with factory once done.. Bump out some hellions while teching to Banshee.

The idea is, Zerg needs to tech to Roach to hold off the hellions.

If the timing is good, then you should be able to get a banshee out at the same time as you harass their mineral lines.

for Zerg this is rock solid to beat, as we have to tech Roach/Hydra/Overseer to fend them off.. unless their micro sucks!

Cheers Indie. Banshee's and Hellions are units I've never formed a strat round, rather used them as support mid-game, probably when they've lost most of their effectiveness. Guess the micro intensity of them probably put me off them.

Cheers, I have something new to try!

EDIT: thinking about it, that might leave you open to 6 pool rush.
