Starcraft 2 HOTS v1 Megathread - Kerrigan is coming (USE SPOILERS TILL 28.3.2013)

I just sorta macro the right units at the right time.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what I make, I just end up making more shit than my opponent. Especially if I've been doing economic harassment.
I'd say 80% of the playerbase can't keep their resource banks below 1000/1000 so logically the first thing to ask yourself is; Am I spending my money fast enough?
[QUOTE=jung3o;39939542]I hate watching mlg sc2. its so fucking dumb imo.
the casters have to dumb it down.[/QUOTE]
Isn't day9 and djWheat casting it? I know day9 does it on purpose to try and get more people involved.
The only casters I enjoy are Artosis and Tastless since they are the only analytical casters that are also fun to listen to.
That being said sometimes when the game is slow at the start they like to discuss pokemon. :v:
[QUOTE=77662;39942541]Sorry for asking. I am someone with very little knowledge and experience with this game. This goes to knowing all the units and buildings, and for each race. There's that, and just learning what to do while playing a game and knowing what to do and when. How would you guys recommend me to learn everything?[/QUOTE]
Watch the Day9 dailies. It helped teach me everything I know while still being entertaining.

Got really drunk last night and discovered that gas is useless as Terran. If you make refineries then that's minerals and scvs that could have been used mining and building more barracks.
You really don't need more than 6 gasses as Terran. Just take new ones as your old ones expire.
Just beat the campaign, was just as fun as the WoL campaign, was even easier than the WoL campaign on brutal though.

You're on your way to the path of maekin marins, young grasshopper :smile:

You know, i wasnt sure if it was easier not as i used to play zerg anyway. but it really did feel a hell of a lot easier, last mission especially.
Thing is, the HOTS campaign can literally be done on macro alone, while a lot of WOL missions required some micro or w/e.

that 75 minerals used to make a refinery could be used to make 1 1/2 marine
some of these starcraft master levels are dumb
like when am i going to need to kill marines off with siege tank friendly fire because i only have one infestor
more importantly why would they just be standing there when infested terran are being plopped down on top of them
also if this were real they would just scan and kill the infestor
bomber is getting his shit rocked
mc's oracle/phoenix contain too stronk oh man
i want to see a flash vs mc final, would be some good pvt
Fucking Oracles, man. How long was that match?
just got promoted to diamond in hots :D
Im so awful at SC.. Couple years ago i could remember some tactics, strategies, etc. But now - nothing. I just fucking spam every single unit without purpose. Guess i will play vs AI, at least for now.

what race do you play, out of curiosity?
IF NONE OF YOU JUST WATCHED THAT GAME, FLASH VS INNOVATION, THEN YOU MISSED OUT. WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

life is going to be playing against mc in the next semifinal, but he doesn't stand a chance

Nope, not at all.
MC is a wrecking ball
but I can't help but feel like zerg doesn't have the same power it used to when compared to the other races

after the infestor got nerfed into the ground, zerg lost a lot its late-game stopping power
new army composition looks like it's turning into hydras/roaches to combat stargate openers (i've been winning 90% of my ladder games with a 2 zealot msc pressure into phoenix harass build), but i don't think it'll be enough to hold back the bosstoss
i wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of stargate openings from mc in this series, simply because phoenixes are so strong against any opening zerg has right now

you put it pretty well
seeing this makes me really not want to play zerg these days
i've been mothership cored and oracled with enough stalker/zealot support to just crush any hope I have of dealing with both armies

from a protoss perspective, our phoenix openers are generally to dissuade any spire play from the zerg simply because mutas can absolute decimate us now if we're caught off-guard. the strongest counter to my air openers i've found have been hydras, simply because they're so fast now
throw down sporecrawlers in your mineral lines, and then push out with a sizable army of hydras, roaches and speedlings
proper reaction to this on the protoss side is to build colossi, but if you've got some corruptors, it's all over

well part of my problem is that I will go hydras, and i'll start getting a few of them up. I haven't spore coloneyed enough and I generally don't use many static defenses, they seem like a waste in the long run but maybe I will have to resort to that. but the other part of the problem is if there's a ground army coming in and I still have to deal with 1-3 oracles in my mineral lines and put out roaches to deal with those 4-5 zealots and 2-3 stalkers or vice versa and re micro my mostly dead hydras back to the fight due to oracles hitting them pretty damn hard if they want to. Even with some queen support I lose out and lose valuable drones/queens

sporecrawlers will fix the problem of oracles in your mineral lines - i'm typically unable to move forward if there are two or three spores in a mineral line (even just one, honestly)
hydras will absolutely tear apart gateway units, as seen in game one of mc vs life, so you should be fine
