It does. I only really played SC on the nintendo64 though so maybe its different?

[ColonelVolkov]

playing sc on n64 vs on PC is like having sex with urself vs with an actual girl.

[witeporcelan]

So I am an uber casual Protoss player, but when I first began playing I would play all races. Something that even I did then for TvT was use my scouting barracks and the land command to see spidar mines on the field when I would notice Vultures out. Could someone please PM me and let me know if pro level players do that as well? Thanks a ton SC fans!

[SC2GGRise]

it's unlikely that pro's would use that strategy because the barracks is so slow. just a bit later in the game, goliaths and tanks can a-move over most mine fields without taking damage and so most pro's will wait until they either have scan, or enough units to comfortably a-move over mine fields. also, pro's will generally see it coming because of their scouting and game sense.

[NinjaWolfHybrid]

The barracks being slow doesn't matter, right? Can't you just click the land button, then move the big green box around the map, and anywhere there's mines they show up as red boxes in the green. Good idea witeporcelan, I've never tried that but it should work in theory right?

[SC2GGRise]

no, it only gives you the message when you can't actually land it, so it has to float right above it and then try to land.

Goddamn Youtube! Always refuses to post my comments when they're a bit long (even when they're under the limit)... Oh well, to the point:

You mentioned around 4:30 that Flash should be more aggressive with his high APM, however I would like to claim the opposite. The higher the APM, the longer you should draw out the game, think about it. Where will you benefit the most from having higher APM? With a 50 food army, or with a 200 food army? ;D

Cheers, and thanks for all your work!

[SC2GGRise]

While i agree that its a player separating skill later in the game, I certainly think that it can be used to end the game earlier and give yourself bigger advantages as the game progresses. Even at low food count, a successful harass can take a player off his game and make him forget important tasks while the higher APM player controlling the harass knows he can't let up on his macro as he harasses. "Benefit the most" is the key term you wrote - you want every little benefit you can gain.

[Kruggy0]

I would actually think that has more to do with discipline, myself. At the level of Flash and Fantasy, you really have spare time to both defend and macro at the same time. Only your lack of discipline would be able to throw you off and make you focus too much on one part.

I agree that it would be fun to see Flash show some more aggression, but he is no doubt the strongest late game player in the world.

[MogensRS]

Rise was talking about Flashs confidence, I've noticed other commenters saying that Flash seems to lose a lot of his ability when he gets shook up

[ohcraisokay]

what is the point of moving barracks?

[mistablah]

sight for tank range

[Dashmast3r]

Scouting information, and/or sight range for tanks.
