Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[QUOTE=onox37;24024634]What advice was that.[/QUOTE] It was basically a better/faster way to build more units and to not waste so many scvs building things. (look back a page if you still need it.) Oh and a side note I just won a fucking INTENSE game. This guy expanded 3 times and had about 6 starports warping in void rays. I got to his main base, destroyed it, he tried to void ray rush me, destroyed those with the marines still at my base. I attacked another base he had which had even more starports destroyed that, he had another base and was STILL producing more voids, I brought out a ghost with cloak and a nuke and fucking bombed it and he said GG and left. It was great.

[QUOTE=onox37;24024804]Guy makes colossus. I make vikings. He keeps trying to target my vikings. Keeps making colossus, confused.[/QUOTE] He lost I presume? And I think he needs to read the tooltips/manual if he makes colossi :v:

I can't even win vs a medium AI :(

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;24025134]I can't even win vs a medium AI :([/QUOTE] You will learn one day or not. Just had a relaxing and fun gg with a diamond terran player. Classical music is very good for starcraft. I felt more relaxed and tranquil. Next psychological experiment - different genres of music affecting gameplay in starcraft 2. [editline]08:52PM[/editline] 40 wins and 30 losses and I'm 6th in my plat league promooooooooote me already.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;24025318]Classical music is very good for starcraft. I felt more relaxed and tranquil.[/QUOTE] Well some of it

How do you guys think this [img_thumb]http://pnmedia.gamespy.com/screenshots/pstarcraft/87596409.jpg[/img_thumb] (from the New Starcraft2 book "Heaven's Devil's") would look on a mirror like these? [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=943866[/url] Of course it wouldn't be AS detailed..I'd have to mess with a couple parts to actually make it possible..but I think it would look amazing.

To be honest, tacky.

I think it would look pretty sweet.

[QUOTE=onox37;24025579]To be honest, tacky.[/QUOTE] How so?

[QUOTE=Murdoco;24025722]How so?[/QUOTE] I don't know. It really depends where you put it. In a garage would be fitting.

4th in my league. Whew I'm on a roll.

[QUOTE=onox37;24025842]I don't know. It really depends where you put it. In a garage would be fitting.[/QUOTE] See my garage is usually filled with a pile of junk. It would probably look really good in the pool room though.

[QUOTE=Dragon;24024364]Hahah I thought I was being ~super slick~ with an Infestor by grabbing one of the other guy's High Templars but it didn't have psi storm :saddowns: [editline]01:05AM[/editline] did end up winning when I fungal growth'd all his zealots mid-charge and ate them with hydralisks :c00l:[/QUOTE] didn't know you played starcraft, dragon

man I just learned how much I loved ghosts. I first cloaked a ghost in (note: I have a pretty big bio ball behind him hiding behind a wall so they don't notice me when I run him in.) I ran in to his expansion and noticed he actually had a robotics core, several pylons, and a starport all in that area. I decide to drop it and it kills all the pylons, shutting everything down, he tried to stop my MMM ball with stalkers which didn't work since my infantry was fully upgraded. He eventually surrendered knowing he couldn't win. Fuck yah NUKES!

Lol, I decided a mousepad would be helpful earlier since I've just been using my desktop. I grabbed a Dell one that was lying around but it's black and white with a sharp divide between the two and when you go from one to the other it pushes the cursor around in weird ways. I've since reverted to my desk. Can't play SC with unpredictable mouse movements.

[url]http://www.sendspace.com/file/j99lxw[/url] uh so my first placement match went like this any advice? and yeah i know i am bad but i really didn't know how to counter his wall in at first

oh jesus the game decided to promote me to gold league for no reason I was like 38th and lost 3 matches before that last win [QUOTE=raccoon12;24026129]didn't know you played starcraft, dragon[/QUOTE] uhh ya

I don't know if this is already being done, but you you want to improve at SC2, you [b]need[/b] to watch Day[9], it's just mandatory. The stream is every night except Saturdays, starts at 10pm EST, usually lasts ~40 minutes. These 40 minutes will be some of the most useful you could be using them for at that moment, and will really help you improve if you pay attention and apply yourself to it. The stream is at [url]http://www.ustream.tv/day9tv[/url]. If you ever have down time and don't feel like playing SC2, watch some of his past casts, which you can find at [url]http://day9tv.blip.tv/[/url].

[editline]10:53PM[/editline] Nomadic, you may not be great but at least you're not a guy who has total map control, and ggs because he trapped his probes.

This game was a lot of fun and was pretty much a race of who could kill faster. Just watch it and you'll understand. [url]http://www.sendspace.com/file/u86rjf[/url]

Day 9 is basically the most useful SC resource out there. He is the font from which all goodness flows.

Just watched yesterday's cast (missed it). "I've seen this happen to a lot of players. You're doing good, then all of the sudden they have this huge army. At first you feel clearly in the lead, like you just ran over a baby deer, then reversed back over it. But then the baby deer... started making stalkers? This analogy isn't working." I lol'd. He's a pretty funny guy.

I find my self taking a small break in between games to clear the head helps a ton. I supose others like to keep the adrenaline rush.

Did a 2v2 comp stomp with raccoon earlier and we got in a battle and he's at around 250 APM and I'm chillin' at like 40. :v:

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;24027931]he's at around 250 APM [/QUOTE] :f5:

[QUOTE=thisispain;24028043]:f5:[/QUOTE] lol

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;24027766]I find my self taking a small break in between games to clear the head helps a ton. I supose others like to keep the adrenaline rush.[/QUOTE] Am I the only one who almost has a heart attack when I forget to keep building and I look and see I have >4000 minerals? I feel like my chest collapses, like "oh shit oh shit I am so fucked". Same thing happens when I get supply capped in mid-late game. I am such a loser lmao. I also can't handle the adrenaline rush, I usually wait 10 minutes between games. BTW, JohnnyMo is correct, Day[9] is basically the beginner's guide to Starcraft. Watch every video, even him commenting on games with elite players, those casts are filled with great tips.

Is Day 9 in Germany already? No cast today or yesterday. At least no uploaded yet. (I don't watch the stream)

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;24028105]Is Day 9 in Germany already? No cast today or yesterday. At least no uploaded yet. (I don't watch the stream)[/QUOTE] There were casts all this week. Yesterday is uploaded. There was a cast today. I don't think he goes to Germany for a while.
