    So the fast banshee build is proving to have like a 70-80% success rate at winning immediately for me.

    Mostly against zerg, but really it seems to work against every race at this level (silver).

    I can't do Friday nights. Because they are Friday nights.

    Midweek would be better if you're going to do them on the regular. But by all means go ahead tomozzla.

    Oh,I'm not going to try and do them "every" friday or always the same day. Just kinda one each week or so.
    It's just that Friday suits me really well this week while next week Tuesday would be much better.

    We'll see!

    Fast banshees are rough, espec. against zerg if you keep them with your army and attack together. I usually have enough queens to not have to worry about banshees, but 1 or 2 banshees (don't need cloak) on top of some marines and marauders is really difficult to deal with in early pressure situations. They have crazy good range and crazy dps.

    It hasn't worked for me when the zerg either by coincidence or competence decides to go at me with roaches before the banshee is out.

    Like I think one actually reacted to me by scouting it, but otherwise people generally don't seem to scout in silver so the other times are probably just bad beats for me.

    I tend to only go fast banshee against Zerg if I scout an FE.

    I'm tired of Zerg, and I play Protoss. Ever since I hit plat my matchups have been about 75% Zerg, and about 80% of that is on Xel'Naga Caverns. It's getting repetitive.

    Tomorrow at 9PM GMT+1 we'll try to have a European SC2 lobby!

    I'll be there with bells on.

    I would love to do this, but I don't think I can make it. Regular EU lobbies would be orgasmic though.

    I will try to keep arranging regular lobbies to build a bit of an EU community sense and to also get myself to actually play ^^ I can also comment on matches :P

    It would be lovely. I'll be on tonight as well in a little while in case someone is around.

    I tried your pretty little nexus build last night and got crushed by 7rr. :x Though it was completely my fault. I scouted his base, saw nothing but drones, and then hung out in his natural waiting for the expansion. When it never came, I just did a little herp de derp and kept on trucking, not realizing that an obvious rush was coming.

    This is the most painful way to lose, aside from cheese.

    "Oh hey he's staying on one base and I don't have eyes on him... Better expand and drone up out of habit! Surely this will end well."

    Double MULE pumping on one base is scary.

    But once you have 24 workers mining minerals additional workers give you literally 0 benefit.

    Is that really right?

    3 workers per patch is the point where you stop increasing income, 2 is most bang for the buck. 24 is two per patch + 6 on gas right? There is a theoretical optimum at 2.6 something drones per patch, I think, which would be 24 as well. But that's pretty moot as you can't have 2.6 drones mining per patch.

    I haven't looked at the numbers since the beta but this interests me.

    I'm 90% certain that 3 workers/patch is complete saturation because the 3rd on each patch spends some time waiting.

    Late as hell response: The math didn't add up in my head because I thought there were 9 patches and 24 is not a multiple of 9. We mean the same thing.

    But! I now know that there are 8 patches and mules mine at their own pace regardless of saturation. So something good has come from my stupidity.

    However, some fields DO have 9 or 7 patches. Just to fuck with you!

    Almost all bases have 8 patches (hence 24 workers).

    Occasionally there are maps with weird numbers that aren't 8, but saturation is always (# patches)*3.
