Starleagues

As the new Starleagues are shaping up (MSL trailing behind as usual), some users have taken the opportunity to add the gist of the old ones to liquipedia. Soon you'll not only be reading the results and standings, but also the storylines, with great victories, great disappointments and all within this wiki!

Jos "ret" de Kroon

A new chapter of "Foreigners in Korea" begins. Jos "ret" de Kroon will be going to Korea to represent Europe, Teamliquid, and Dutch pancakes. And in due time, Liquipedia has seen an initiative to introduce foreign players to our wiki-space. Some are already represented, many profiles still hunger for your contribution. We wish ret good luck in Korea, and we hope his profile will soon see your support. On a sidenote, did you miss the TSL art? We sure did!

Outsider

As the OSL and MSL wind down, some great games have been played on these new maps, such as Outsider. This map especially has proven to be truly royal terrain, providing highly entertaining back-and-forth fights. Go ahead and take a look, and if you see anything lacking, help a player out, and add what you know.

EMP_Shockwave

A flurry of great spell pages have been added recently and EMP_Shockwave is one of them. Take a look if you want to know more about this spell - the radius of EMP is suprisingly small, but it can be highly effective not only against protoss shields, but also against spellcasters of any race, such as gigantic Battlecruiser fleets in TvT.

Ensnare

Thanks primarily to Stet_tcl, we have specific statistics and knowledge of the in-depth mechanics of the Queen's Ensnare ability. Pretty much everything you needed to know (or ever wanted to know) about the Ensnare ability is in this useful little article. If you see any techniques that need a bit of padding, please go ahead and do that!

PvP Positioning

Malongo has recently edited the PvP Positioning article. Take a look if your PvP is lacking (and don't let your opponents look if you play PvP against them.) Some of the other matchups need some work with army positioning, so go see what you can do to help!

The Great Walls

First the building sizes, now the specific setups. Lots of work is poured into getting Terran Walls and Protoss Fast Expansions safe and secure. Sim-City artists have added numerous examples to both of these pages, and we are naturally anxious to see more and to see them added to Map pages (see Destination for an example).

Fighting Spirit - The Tyrant

In a recent photo shoot by NeverGG [1], Jaedong 'The Tyrant' showed his Fighting Spirit. There is no reason to doubt him: Top of July KeSPA Ranking, still represented in Gom Ro8, OSL Ro16 and MSL Ro32 and carrying Oz through Proleague. A true hero. How about giving his Profile a little more depth?

Zerg Attack

There has been a real attack of the swarm lately. Both the Zerg vs. Zerg Guide and the Zerg vs. Protoss Guide have received quite a few edits. So go check them out and see if you can add anything!

Fatness Measured

As you can see, Ultras have difficulties to bond.

No, this is really about the amazing effort that was done to research true unit and building widths. So next time your wall-in fails, you will know why by referring to these statistics.

The Meta game literally means 'beyond the game', and refers to the overall state of Starcraft gameplay. An abstract concept, it encompasses everything from overall strategy and tactics, to specific builds and micromanagement techniques.

The two most dominant Protoss Players of all time jointly initiated the "Taekbang Era", an era of unprecedented Protoss dominance. Both have received some attention to their articles here too! Of course I am talking about the Protoss heroes Bisu and Stork.

Early-game Mutalisks are harassment units and should be used as such. They should never directly engage an army. Their strength lies in their mobility, picking off stray units, workers and buildings. Because no unit is fast enough to keep up with Mutalisks, they provide indirect map control - if your opponent splits his army to attack you too early, Mutalisks can deal quite a headache by targeting undefended areas of your opponent's base and retreating once the defending army arrives.

The fixed magic box is the maximum distance your units can be from each other and still stay in formation when you issue an order. The size of this box is hardcoded into StarCraft and varies for air and ground units.
