| Idra was right - How Florencio and I killed armies with hallucinated units Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:10 PM PST There is a bug with hallucinated units that allows them to deal damage to units with negative armor (see here for original post). In ladder games, as far as I know, this can only be achieved using anti-armor missile. Short version is that hallucinated units can deal 3 damage from AAM, plus their attack upgrades. This ends up being surprisingly strong considering that means +3 hallucinated units can deal 6 damage. With colossus splash, 10 sentries worth of hallucinations can take out 100 marines without upgrades. Also important to note is that hallucinated units deal damage to Protoss shields and health at the same time, making archons trivial to kill even with hallucinated probes (which are actually kinda OP. I mean you get 4 of them, WTF?) So naturally, Florencio and I took to ladder to abuse this as much as possible, and the result is this 2v2 game. In it, we take out lots of T3 units like tempests out with just hallucinated units, probes trivially mow over archons, and lots of immortals fall to hallucinations. Overall, it shows the hallucination bug is a lot stronger than you'd think, considering the 3 base damage Given a bit more practice and coordination, this strat could actually work out much better. It would never be viable, but it makes mass sentry memes a whole lot stronger TL;DR - Idra was right all along [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Reminder (like you guys forgot): IEM Katowice begins tomorrow! Posted: 23 Feb 2020 12:25 PM PST Tomorrow is the first day of IEM Katowice, with offline qualifier brackets #1-2 played. This means players like SOS, HEROMARINE, NEEB, INNOVATION, SPECIAL and SOO duking it out, in what's sure to be an epic day of Starcraft II! For further memory refreshment, here are the brackets on Liquipedia. Full list of streams at the bottom of this page on the same site. The hype train to Awesome by the scenic route of Kick-Ass has arrived at the station, all aboard! The train leaves the station at 11:00 CET/ 12:00 EET/ 19:00 KST/ 18:00 CST/ 02:00 PST / 05:00 EST. EDIT1: I mentioned DRG as a player attending, originally, but have since found out he forfeited. Marsman, a Protoss player from the Netherlands has taken his spot and is thus Clem's first opponent. EDIT2: It's brackets 1-2, I originally somehow saw it as being 1-3. My apologies for the mistake. EDIT3: Added the start time for Katowice's timezone CET.

| Covid-19 might mean travel restrictions on Korean players Posted: 23 Feb 2020 02:30 PM PST So, the latest news from South Korea is that they've just raised their threat alert level to maximum. This means, in effect per the linked article, that
I don't believe they'll start implementing any of the more drastic stuff (like restricting outbound flights) just yet, so I doubt that this will have any effect on Katowice. However, with the Covid-19 epidemic so far showing no signs of slowing down, it looks like there's a real threat now that the local government may soon start implementing some of the more extreme measures to try and contain the disease. We're getting closer to GSL with no live audience and, in the worst case scenario, the Korean pros being barred from flying and thus being unable to attend offline events outside of their country for a while. It looks like we may be close to a scenario now, where offline events planned for the next couple of months may start getting affected by this epidemic, or even further so, as in the case of WESG. Let's hope that we're getting near the peak of this thing. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why is the General chat so cancerous? Posted: 23 Feb 2020 08:57 PM PST I mean, I know the internet is a cesspool in general, but literally every minute of every day in the main SC2 chat is just a torrent of shit lol Trump circlejerking, politics, holocaust denial, racism, etc etc. All the time. Why in the starcrat chat [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| How do you feel about GG or no GG? Posted: 24 Feb 2020 12:23 AM PST It's probably not my place and not the place to ask, but I do feel there is a lot to it. Please provide your personal experience in the reply. I am completely neutral towards all strats and have tried my best to word the questions accordingly. You are not obligated to introspect if you don't feel comfortable to so please don't give non-answers, just not participate instead.

| Recent games where top players played random or off race? Posted: 23 Feb 2020 12:25 PM PST So two weeks ago in an ESL Open Cup, Scarlett played random and it got me thinking about Serral playing Terran in Starcraft2.fi 8V. Cup. I don't care what race the player usually is or off racing as. Are there any games from top tier players not playing their main race recently? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
