[QUOTE=kenji;23958884]I'm at work so no promises, any specific faction Dash?[/QUOTE] Eh, not really. And thanks Mercurius :)

Danke!
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23958708]Apparently zerg can just spam 30 queens, 20 infestors and win like that. Just lost to that bullshit, oh well. 40 Muta's and 100 zergling later, he takes me out while he has one last base that barely survives.[/QUOTE] Your mistake for going mutas against infestors. Really, really, really bad idea. [QUOTE=kenji;23957903]It's amazing how there Terran/Protoss are pretty matched % wise their played, but Zerg trails behind :([/QUOTE] Meh, I don't like being the mainstream race. People tend to pick the hardest races/classes/weapons less and that's when you can stand out. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23954176]I'd like to see the world oyu live in where this game is really 100% balanced as you believe it is. [/QUOTE] [url]http://sc2ranks.com/stats/us/1/100[/url] I'd say those win ratios by the top 100 players of North America is pretty good. Here's top 5000: [url]http://sc2ranks.com/stats/us/1/5000[/url] Zerg is fine.
Still can't get the hang of the damn Zerg ;\
[QUOTE=gparent;23959391] Meh, I don't like being the mainstream race. People tend to pick the hardest races/classes/weapons less and that's when you can stand out. [/QUOTE] True, i enjoy being Zerg anyway i feel like an evil mastermind.
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;23959438]Still can't get the hang of the damn Zerg ;\[/QUOTE] Same, I played a few matches against the Easy computer earlier (my first time playing Zerg, didn't have any idea how to play it before.) First match I just constantly churned out Zerglings and attacked the computer within 8 minutes after his 2nd attack. Second match I tried to play different and learn more and I got bum raped. I know what I'd do differently next time though, more spine crawler towers near the ramps up to my base (I made the mistake of attacking them with my Zerglings as they were coming up the ramp) and more air units (early on the computer didn't seem to create any anti-air stuff apart from Marines.)
What's overpool exactly?

[QUOTE=kenji;23959611]Try a 13 pool Muti rush[/QUOTE] I don't have any idea what you're on about mate.
Seems like I am pretty decent with Zerg. I've won 3 out of 4 placement matches. And those were my first 3 Zerg matches ever.
[QUOTE=Dashiel;23959681]I don't have any idea what you're on about mate.[/QUOTE] Build drones and harvest minerals, at 9 spawn an overlord, start grabbing some vespine, at 13 drones build a spawning pool, make a queen, spray some love-goo on the base, upgrade it, make a spire, spawn some mutilisks kill their economy And then laugh, evilly.
Haha, sounds fun!
its the only zerg tactic i know :ohdear: 6 3v3 matches, 2 wins. so its not saying much but i never made and 'lings to defend myself so.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;23959828]tiny legs, weird arms, huge head[/QUOTE] What i thought...
I like messing with the AI. Last game it was me as Zerg against medium AI Protoss and Terran. By the end of the game I already had a huge Zerg/Protoss/Terran army and wiped them off the map. Made me feel like a badass.

It seems like you have to have the perfect build order when playing zerg, or you just get fucked over because the AI builds much faster than you (or a real opponent respectively). :( Same could be said for any race though.
Zerg is harder than the other races to learn, but they are just as effective once you know what to do.
Well, I just won a game using that tactic. Pity he ragequitted near the end though so I never got to destroy his base :saddowns: Does it automatically say "gg" when a player quits?

[QUOTE=Jund;23960161]Only for AI. Which makes the AI 100x times nicer than actual human players.[/QUOTE] ... This is so so true. :(
oh well then here's something that happened recently. [img]http://imgkk.com/i/wuad.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=kenji;23960189]... This is so so true. :([/QUOTE] The nicest people I've seen in starcraft 2 were in the placement matches, they all beat me so I probably won't see those fine gents again :sigh: I want to get to the higher leagues if just to play against some nice people while getting steamrolled
[QUOTE=Flaming Neko;23960197]sorry if this is known already.[/QUOTE] By just about everyone in this thread. Isn't Heart of the Swarm going to have RPG elements in it? I got the feeling the secret mission was sort of like a beta test to see if anyone would like that system.
im not sure what im supposed to be seeing in that screenshot :ohdear:
