[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23971919]mass carriers = instant win[/QUOTE] I hear draco is really good at that.

Man I love MMM. This zerg went all mutalisks with a couple corruptors got up and activated stimpacks, along with my level 2 upgraded infantry damage and just obliterated all of em. He had at least 30 mutalisks and 6 corruptors (took out corruptors first..didn't want all my medivacs going down.)

Archons worth investing as Protoss?

the game recognises 3x1 portrait but not 3x1 landscape, took me fucking ages to get my monitors to work in portrait mode looks great though and runs nice even on ultra [URL=http://img185.imageshack.us/i/sc22010081023500967.jpg/][IMG]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1530/sc22010081023500967.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://img691.imageshack.us/i/sc22010081100043253.jpg/][IMG]http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/6555/sc22010081100043253.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://img193.imageshack.us/i/sc22010081100045596.jpg/][IMG]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7393/sc22010081100045596.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[QUOTE=MisterM;23972459]Archons worth investing as Protoss?[/QUOTE] You get HTs, blow all of their energy in a battle, then merge to archons if they have a bio ball.

[QUOTE=MisterM;23972459]Archons worth investing as Protoss?[/QUOTE] They can be useful. Not in all situations though.

I've never won.

23 points until I'm rank 4...all the ranks above that are really close together point wise and I should hit #1 by tomorrow.

I'm thinking zergs best bet against MMM and terran bioball would be infestors and corruptors?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23972594]I'm thinking zergs best bet against MMM and terran bioball would be infestors and corruptors?[/QUOTE] Infestors can screw them up yes, but I have countered many infestors. They try to pod you to death with infested terrans but the pods are so easy to kill with stimpacks its just dumb. Corruptors can mess you up a bit but you can destroy them rather easily with marines.

fungal growth is nasty for bio balls

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23972594]I'm thinking zergs best bet against MMM and terran bioball would be infestors and corruptors?[/QUOTE] Infestors and banelings. Don't go the easy route and use infested terrans, use fungal growth then kite the rest of the army back. In addition, once you sick your roaches (tanks) on the army, your banelings should be able to sneak by. Unless they are gods among men they won't be able to focus them all down before the banelings reach the ball.

In the practice league i versed a turtling terran, he just sat in there with sieged up tanks, so I made 5 void rays and a stalker/zealot army and killed the tanks with the void rays, while breaking down the rocks protecting his ramp

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23972644]I was thinking more that aoe attack infestors have spammed over all of them[/QUOTE] Yah that can fuck it up too. but you better have some banelings nearby to roll in and blow em the fuck up.

[QUOTE=Dashiel;23958541]Are there any decent tutorial sites or anything out there? I'd really like to learn to play a bit better, as it stands right now I'm p.bad.[/QUOTE] study demos also watch this guys stream [url]http://www.ustream.tv/day9tv[/url]

Odd issue, every time I play an online game, it says "Desync" and the game is over, and I go to the score screen where it says "Error" :suicide:

Archons are good vs small air pushes, roaches, etc(I think they ignore defense? I forgot)

Question: Once you get placed, can you raise through the leagues? Or is it permanent? Because if so, that's retarded edit: i probably should have thought about this question before writing such dumb sentences let's see how many dumbs I can get

Aw yeah, Blizzard are going to change my account name ingame. Now I must read every screen before hitting enter, silly me using my forename as account name.

"Sue me, dickhead!" Oh yes, that's from Total Recall! [editline]02:18AM[/editline] Broke my automerge. :sigh:

[QUOTE=MisterM;23973803]Aw yeah, Blizzard are going to change my account name ingame. Now I must read every screen before hitting enter, silly me using my forename as account name.[/QUOTE] Same thing, they said it will take 72 hours for changes to show.

Was about to buy the game. Then noticed with hunterdnrc that we can't add each others and play together because I'm from Europe and he's in the US. I just saved 45€.

Oh my god. I got the game today, I like it. But as someone mentioned before in practice league people just sit behind those natural barriers. Hell, a guy had a massive army that I couldn't possible win but still he just sat there, he didn't attack me, he didn't even scout.

I'm in Practice league with my friend right now. Got 26 left available. At first I was doing okay. But now everyone is getting better and better. So my friend who is better than me is teaching me while being really angry. But we all learn different ways and so far I'm getting better by his bitching lol.

Zerg vs Zerg 1v1 aren't like any other fights. Had to fight tooth and nail the whole battle with zergling just to win. Also, fucking protoss proxy cannon base. Never saw it myself before this, not used on me anyhow, didn't even have a chance. Missed the little tiny edge on my base in the fog. I scouted him and he didn't seem to have anything so I guess that's a way to look for it a little too late.

decided to skip the practice league after seeing that the novice maps had blocked accesses and just hitting the placement matches. Gone trough 3 right now. One terran mirror, got seriously outclassed One Again a toss. I felt like I was winning the whole game, fracked up a mother ship at least six times, denied exping for some while, but then just got knockered by an ever slowly increasing mass of carriers, since I couldn't force myself into his main. Finally won the third against another toss.
