StarCraft 2 - 2v2 Masters League Livecast - vs PZ

Hey everyone,

This is a 2v2 masters league game. This game is a bit longer and is somewhat typical of 2v2 macro games when the game evolves out of the rush/cheese timings. Lots of diverse army tactics, harassment, and map control deployed in this game to take away as tips. Hope you guys enjoy this back and forth game. Got some suggestions leave them here or on the forums at http://www.theuen.com

Why does he put the gas down and cancel it everytime?

[TheUENtv]

@c0d3w0rd Yes, Ubersky answered it correctly. The long term impacts of this are building another drone faster. Hatcheries spawn larva every 15 seconds as long as they have less than 3 (not including queen larva spawns). If you build an overlord at 10/10 and do not do the 'extractor trick' you will lose a potential larva spawn so you will be delayed in terms of total units constructed. Additionally, your 11th drone is out sooner in this method, allowing for greater resource collection.

why make so many dts?

[TheUENtv]

@000DAAN000 Patriot is correct on this and I wanted to add on. DT's late game can do a lot of positive things for map control and harassment. I put a spore at every base (that's 4 less drones mining as well as 125x4 minerals). Also, I invested in 3 overseers over the course of the game and I had to spend time dealing with DT's as opposed to harassing, macro'ing, etc. Also, DT's can control watch towers or kill scouts / small armies quickly and easily. However, mass DT is weak to any range.

[c0d3w0rd]

@TheUENtv Oh that's pretty cool. I've been getting into using Zerg lately, and I might start trying that. I had no idea that you need less than 3 for it to spawn it's own larva. That's also a good thing to know.

I'm a big time noob at Starcraft, so watching UEN and other Starcraft casting is very good to make me learn special tricks like this, thanks! :D

@c0d3w0rd Focus on learning basics before worrying about tricks. As a noob, trying to pull fancy tricks in games will just lose you games. Solidify your opening builds, micro, and macro first. Trying to do tricky little things before knowing your base game is gonna hurt you a lot in the long run.

I Love watching the UEN cause it is more team related then most casters out their, their all about solo'ing and pro gamers doing their thing, but guys from the UEN concentrates more on the Team Play of SC2 and thats what I like the most :)

[CameronRounder]

onemanzerg, seeing that idle drone icon on the screen for the second half of the game was killing me. and i think u had 4 drones on the gas in ur natural expansion. i expect better...
