    How.

    Unless you mean you lost 2 zealots, but the way I read it 2 zealots killed all those dudes!

    well presumably if there are enough sentries to pull something off like that it's not just 2 zealots fighting!

    but the sentries don't count... see, managing your units doesn't happen in this game.

    Keep your heads up.. take a break and then come back to look at your replays and understand what you did wrong.

    Day9 been losing a lot of games lately as well. I think he's trying to Z vs T and even I can tell him that you don't need that many units in the beginning to fend off Terran Cheese. Most of the time People fear cheese so they build units to make themselves feel safer. If you do that as Zerg you'll be behind in drone counts and lose in the Macro game. As Zerg you must always be vigilant and make do without having to make extra units as a buffer vs Cheese.

    As protoss, you must have a carrier in production before you expand at all.

    i have a hard time seeing anything but slow zealot with carrier support.

    I'm thinking wall-in with cannons, going straight carrier, and charging with whatever army you may have up to that point

    i'm thinking that the creativity comes after that first carrier, do you go mothership? what do you do with the mothership? how many carriers do you get?

    carriers are slow, so do you go carrier immortal?

    i don't know

    If you can effectively and consistently deny the opponent's expansion, you can do some fun carrier shenanigans

    I think the most furstrating thing when I play is when I know exactly what my opponent is doing and I still fail to counter it.

    I was playing a Terran on Lost Temple who was pretty obviously going heavy MMM so I'm like "ok, I need lings and blings, eventually getting infestors" Did I get any of those? Nope! Instead I got like...some roaches and lings which died basically instantly.

    it happens. try to get some guys and gals to tighten your game on here. worst i've had is a 7 game loss streak. play some customs, tighten the build and macro and then hit the ladder.

    I'm convinced that having a Starcraft win-loss signature turns people ladder prude because they think a positive win ratio is so idra.

    Yeah, Hydras sound like they're making a 'thwip' sound when Starcraft hydralisks sounded like they were about to get the big juicy piece of phlegm out of their throat.

    I thought it was more of a statement on Queens being overpriced/too slow/less than efficient.

    And here's my spark for the fire: Day9's style of daily casting is so much more tolerable when you're watching his live casts.

    i thiink that day[9]'s point was that queen vomit seduces you into spending your money quickly on units, when you can tech quicker, and still win without the charming barf.

    now... is day[9] 0 or 1 based? is he null terminated?

    Yeah todays daily seemed to be like "let's remove the ball and chain of babysitting the queen and see if it's viable" and it, faster tech, more money, can get more hatches if you need more units.

    if revealed early. (well, tough luck with that against terrans....).

    and it isn't "fast" VRs until the flux vane. the big question is when do i cut VRs to get the fleet beacon.

    i'm pretty curious to see how the no queens thing turned out. i don't watch the daily live, so i'll catch it tomorrow... but i can't imagine getting NO queens is viable. maybe not getting 1 per hatch and finding a good balance on teching instead?
