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

[QUOTE=DigiTech;24044925]You just have to make a mental checklist and be constantly going through it. Mine goes like "workers, resources, units, minimap". Constantly make workers, make sure your resources aren't getting too high, make units, and check the minimap. Once you get a solid list down and remember to constantly go through it, you'll see your unused minerals go down drastically.[/QUOTE] And make sure to NEVER get food locked! Make sure you always have at least 2 extra supplies. If your protoss it's not usually a problem, but personally with Terran and Zerg I always forget and it holds me back far too long.

I'm unsure whether to choose [sp]spectres[/sp] or [sp]ghosts[/sp] Last time I chose the former, but the stun is only worth it for that mission. After that it does no damage, and doesn't stun missile turrets..

[QUOTE=Pirate Jok3r;24045390]Holy fuck, sentry harass, awesome idea. Going to try going fast sentry and getting a robo for a full warp in to force field their whole mineral line to stop mining for however long a ff lasts.[/QUOTE] It isn't worth it. One sentry starts with 50 energy (I think), which is enough for one force field, which can block one mineral patch for 15 seconds. One fully saturated mineral patch produces ~100 minerals a minute. That means that your opponent will lose 25 minerals per Sentry. However, Sentries cost 50 minerals and 100 gas, so it isn't worth it.

Going to try going fast sentry and getting a robo for a full warp in to force field their whole mineral line to stop mining for however long a ff lasts.[/QUOTE] It'd be more efficient just to use the sentries to kill the workers. I just think it's cool. Like, use the force fields to plug the holes in the field and turn the intermittent space into a killing field.

Holy shit brilliant idea.

Anyone from EU up for a game or two?

Or you know you could just do Psi Storm harass and then morph the Templars into Archons. :v:

Starcraft II Megathread v2 - I Bring Tidings of Doom [editline]07:22PM[/editline] I bring zerglings of doom

V2 - Lings Inc, Surrender

Guys I just played a funny 1v1 in practice league. We were both Protoss players and everything was going fine until my observer scouted his base. He had nothing but a few stalkers and a couple zealots. So I figured okay I have time to get some more warp gates and more economy. Then they blow my observer out the air and in it's fog of war I see a warp prism. Right then and there I knew exactly what he was up to so I build a few cannons around my base to stop any warp drops. And it works very effectively. His attack force was stumped when mine came to the defence but by then I had already sent a warp prism of my own into his base and took out his main resources. He fled and didn't even try to protect it. I fought off a couple zealots and 2 void rays at his main while he kept trying to warp into my base failing each time. Finally I wiped out his economy and even stole his base at which point I won the silliest game I ever played. When two Protoss players use warp prisms against each other it's the greatest thing ever. Especially when one actually has a defence in place. Replay: [url]http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/56104-1v1-protoss-novice-blistering-sands[/url]
