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

[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;39794619]Told myself I was going to beat WoL campaign on Brutal before HotS... guess that is not happening.[/QUOTE] i cleared the wol campaign in brutal in the first two weeks, i think i should play the campaign again for the story.. :D

How do you guys actually become good at this game ? Every time there's a fight going on, I completely forget about my economy / building up my army. And how should I set up my shortcuts ?

Micromanagement. Have your armies bound to a squad number and your home shortcut set. That way you can switch between them quicker.

I just sorta like practiced my mechanics a lot and I don't even use strategy to win. It kinda helps that 80% of the playerbase doesn't know how to play. So I can just make a bunch of units and kill them instead of spending half an hour reading over build orders and strategies. Not having good mechanics is like trying to play a modern fps using arrow keys instead of wasd. I once dropped out of masters league because I was dicking around too much and got back in with reaper rush builds. :v: Just watch this to get an idea.

[QUOTE=Kendra;39799373]$20 says that ain't eAPM.[/QUOTE] ye and ur not master!

He doesn't have dollars and he is a korean GM.

Had this guy do this just for the memories: [video=youtube;7bGwEesEc50]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bGwEesEc50[/video] Literally the highlight of my SC career.

Anyone else disappointed that the [URL="http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Warhound"]Warhound[/URL] didn't make the cut?

So what's the 'swarm rank' thing that's now up? I haven't played SCII in a few months, and just updated and logged in for the first time in a while yesterday, and I can't seem to find an explanation anywhere for it.

They just sorta went lol Warhound is op as shit, remove it completely instead of actually change it.

[QUOTE=Kendra;39799373]$20 says that ain't eAPM.[/QUOTE] I don't think anyone has 300 eapm

A few of the very best bw pros do. And those APM spamming NA pros.

apm is not important...look at the german player goody, he have low apm and is in gm too ;) whhahawhah 1 week!!! 7days bam bam release...poarty hard^^

Goody knows something we don't. He was owning everyone with mech for 2 years.

APM isn't everything, but it still counts.

man some missions on brutal arent fun at fucking all especially engine of destruction because tychus is a big dummy atleast his AI is also Fridolin stop speaking like a 12 year old on Graal Online ty

my cousin doesnt and hes german but whatevs thats not the point of the thread. i decided to do the New Folsom mission, helping Nova now so i could get ghosts for Engine of Destruction because nukes are damn pretty i did try blocking Tychus before by building barracks around him while he took a break but he just went right through them what a rude fuck

I would recommend 3v3 randoms with random race for anybody who wants a stress-free method of getting better. Once you get to the higher leagues it's really fun because you'll be playing with grandmasters that you'd never be playing with in 1v1s.

Dead game [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AdtoTr5.png[/IMG] !!!!

Do you think really that the comp scene is dead in sc2 ?

sarcasm has stopped existing apparently

I would say not yet. The game is in a terrible shape right now, the viewer base is less than a quarter of what it used to be. Its clearly not sustainable and nobody has stepped up to fix things. There used to be a lot of talking but nobody took any action at all. Hots ended up adding even more problems imho and there is no way in hell blizzard will acknowledge them. I'd say unless the koreans go allin and get blizzard to fix everything thats wrong with sc2 then its gg. The chance of that happening is about the same as blizzard adding lan. The only hope left is if GomTV/Kespa take charge and use some mapmaking magic to make the game good again. The editor is the one saving grace sc2 has, they could just make a pro-mod like so many other games have and leave it at that. Only issue is Blizzard loses their shit when people don't agree with their design philosophies. Just look at how long it took them to add community made ladder maps to the 1v1 map pool. Even to this day they still insist on using their horrendous maps.
