Assuming your repair key is R, the way to toggle autorepair is alt+R.
Ah it was that simple, thanks! |

Oops thanks - I knew I'd read the answer somewhere... just cound't remember what it was.
Another question: Why are armor upgrades considered important for a Protoss player going for archons? I would think that since armour accounts for such a small proportion of the archon's total hit points (most of the hit points being shields) that armor upgrades wouldn't be very useful for archons. |

I don't know where you got that information. Upgrades depend on the match-up, can you be a little more precise with your question ?
If you're looking for a general answer, I'd have to say it's because you usually get mass zealots with archons, and armored zealots are pretty good at doing what they do best : tank damage. |

I think he meant "in comparison with shield upgrades" since archons are mostly shield. But yes, usually with archons you have lots of mostly-hit-points zealots. That, and with Archons PvT you often fight against ghosts, who will emp the shields off of your zealots, meaning they benefit even less from shield upgrades. |

| That makes a lot of sense. I've heard it a couple of times, but most recently in the finals of the TL open with the community maps GuineaPig was going Archons and one of the casters said "that pluss 3 shields is going to be so good with his archon army". So I guess he meant for the zealots in his archon based army. Also the opponent was a terran with many ghosts so yeah. |

Just took the plunge and purchased a full year GSL subscription.
What is the best way to watch on your ipad? I don't see an app (I see apps for full vods of past seasons, but nothing for current).
Thanks- |

Against gateway expansions, you want to be wary of all-ins like the 4-Gate, but if you scout a Nexus at the natural, you can either go for a roach ling timing to break his front, or you can immediately put down a 3rd base. Preferably a roach ling attack hits before he can get much of a sim city up in his natural. Once your third base is morphing, build a macro hatch in your main and get either spire tech or infestor tech.

Hi,
i just played a ladder game and i was revealed because i had no more nexus. my opponent had marines and he killed a building i had on high ground from the low ground, without having vision (i checked the replay). is it supposed to work that way? i'm revealed -> he doesnt need high ground vision to shoot my buildings?
Thanks |

I play Protoss, and I'm having a tough time opening up against Random players (specifically on Tal Darim Altar), because I feel that the starting pylon (and the next building) is often placed in very different positions, depending on what race a Protoss player is against.
For example, if I know I'm playing against a Zerg on TDA, I'll place a pylon immediately towards the front of my natural, scout on 9 (in case of an early pool, and also to try and block a FE) and then place down a forge to start the wall (for my own defense, and to threaten cannons at the Zerg's natural if needed). Then I'll FE.
On the other hand, I'm never going to open up with a forge in PvP. 1base, 4gate, 1gas all day long (and I'm perfectly comfortable doing this build).
Against Terran, my opening is going to be similar enough to how I would open against a Protoss (at least, I would open up with the same gateway on 12 and then a gas, and then I'd find out the race of my opponent by then and then switch strategies accordingly), so that's not the hugest problem in the world.
So I guess my problem is when I'm against Random players on TDA, I'll need to open up with a one base play (or, at least, gateway first), just in case it's Terran or Protoss instead of Zerg, but then I'm afraid that I'll fall behind if I end up actually playing against a Zerg, because I can't take my own second base very quickly, and/ or I can't pressure early on. Or can I? |

what rank player wrote this guide? he suggests hatch first zvp which is suicide imo |

If you're revealed he gains vision of all your buildings regardless of whether he has any units nearby. So, yes, it is supposed to work that way. |

| I deeply apologize if this has already been asked but as this is a 493 page thread it is not reasonable for me to look through this for a specific question. My question is: Is there a set date on when a new shipment of TL shirts may be coming in? I'd like to get a friend one for christmas, or at least in teh general holiday season. thanks! |

You can switch to green for you and red for your enemy by using the shaking hands symbol on the right side of your minimap or pressing Alt+F |

Yes, when you are revealed, your opponent gets full vision of all of your buildings. So high ground wont help in that case. |

As a random player, I guess I can answer this.
OPEN STANDARD!!!!!
I understand that Day9 and a whole bunch of other people have drilled it into your head that you should only have 1 build for each race. However, without proper scouting, on a large map it is sometimes impossible. Find an opening that works against every race. Personally, I open 3 gate expo (vs a random on TDA) to be safe against a zerg and against a terran, and against a protoss. You also get up the nexus relatively quickly, and you can put on pressure. |

Against what protoss build should i play i 2 ghost timing push?
I think against every build of the protoss is a mediVac and fast upgrades better than a 2 ghost timing push?
15 nexus,20 nexus, 3 gate expand, and anything else that is greedy and sentry heavy. It also works well against 3 gate robo expand, due to a lot of sentries, zealots and immortals. Really, sentries, stalkers and zealots with good micro can destroy this build. But if you EMP well, you could win the game. I dunno... I don't love the build.
first of all thx for your help. are you sure that against an immortal focused play like 3Gate+Robo is a ghost timing better than just go for a mediVac timing push? The same against greedy builds like 15 nexus, 1gate expand etc. Against a sentry heavy play i should prefer the ghost build but it's really hard and gimmicky to predict if the protoss player is going sentry heavy or not... :/ but i will definitely try this out. I love the ghost timing push (before the patch i did it a lot and beat 90% of my games) but now i feel like "a medivac opening is better because the faster starport tech and ebay with upgrades. anyone another opinion or maybe the same? Is it "smart" to play the ghost timing push against a 3gate+robo and the DT rush?
