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

Think I might switch to Terran for a bit... Playing Protoss is nice, but kinda hard for me and Terran seem easy as I always lose to them :v:

Woho, won 1 3vs3 match. Finally got my Protoss builds up to spec.

Crimor 360 EU if anyone wants to play some 1v1's or 2v2's against cpu.

Do you guys think the original StarCraft will still be the place for the competitive scene?

As a Terran, how do you deal with Chargelots? They utterly rape my bioball.

I wish there was a demo. I'm being very careful with my money.

A super easy to counter Zergling rush? Seriously, Zergs have quite a few big flaws: - No Tier 1 AA: You often have to race to Hydralisks because otherwise you won't have any mobile air defence (Queens are weak and, outside creep, slow as hell). By the time you reach T2, the other races already have loads of T1 AA (which aren't only AA either). - Maps that favour turtling, eliminating your Zerg rushes: Ever seen a map without a ramp near the base? And a shitload of other things, this thread pretty much names them all: [url]http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/375108063?[/url]

I love Thors they just plow through enemies

[QUOTE=Crimor;23919045] [URL]http://screplays.com/replays/crimor/3840[/URL] Also, any tips on this one?[/QUOTE] You really need to keep building SCVs, you should never stop building them. You could have built that tech lab on the first barracks sooner, and had more reapers faster. You had a few SCVs sitting around for a while, try not to let that happen. You waited too long to attack with your reapers, should have done it as soon as one of them got to his base. You also wasted a scan on that cliff, when you could have just ran around the front with a few of them to distract, and come in with the others into his mineral line. Around 7:00 you had a 15 second pause after your reapers were built before you started using your barracks again, not only this but during this time you had a huge resource surplus and after the pause you queued up 4 marauders in each barracks, leaving you with next to no minerals left. It's a bad idea to queue up a lot of units if you could do better things with the minerals while they are being produced, like get concussive shells, nitro packs, or stimpack. All would certainly have helped your game, whereas queuing up a ton of marauders does not.

Zergling rushing is just a lame cheese tactic if you ask me, the benefit of Zerg is that they can amass a large army in a short time, and their units are very unique and often if used correctly can absolutely destroy your enemy with no chance for a fight back.

Just played eight games, won six of them, so I'm pretty pleased with myself. Plus I got my Stalker portrait. :cheers:

Just saw the StarCraft II requirements for pc: [url]http://www.gameposts.net/starcraft-ii-pc-mac-system-requirements/[/url] Yeah... I don't think I can run that game on my pc! :(

By the way, if anyone in the EU region is interested in some serious 2v2 games, PM me your info. Mine is Shalaiyn-968. Would be nice if you said what race you were too.

[QUOTE=Pandemix;23919747]I wish there was a demo. I'm being very careful with my money.[/QUOTE] ask someone in the thread for a guest pass? we dont consider it begging.

For those interested, I've been working on this tournament for 2 weeks or so (rules and such have been written): [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=982691[/url] EU and NA players accepted.

If you like to tech up to try and mass Thors, I don't want to play with you. I swear to god I get steamrolled because my partner has no troops because hes trying to spam Thors so its basically 2v1. EDIT: Also, I finally pulled off the Planetary Fortress rush. I'll probably only use it against friends, because I don't need to contribute to the cheese in matchmaking.

[QUOTE=Tovleman;23918585]Can someone pm me a guest pass?[/QUOTE]

Yay, just won a match against a gold league player and I'm in bronze. Only got about 40 points for it though.

What a crock of shit. I got put in bronze 2v2 random because I can't for the life of me find a decent partner. One terran I played with didn't get a single additional scv the entire game, he had 8 marines when I got taken out at 15 minutes. But I held out for that long. Another protoss wasn't able to attack while I took out the entirity of the enemy's armies twice, so we lost that one too. The bright side is I'm rolling bronze league :P. My overview points at the end were double the next guy's, and my ally was, as usual (for me) on bottom by a ton.

[QUOTE=Tovleman;23922457][/QUOTE] You need to post what Region also, as the passes are region IE you can't use an EU pass in NA or vice versa. The regions are EU/NA(incl. Canada and Australia?)/Asia/South America?/Russia. Don't think I left any region behind though. ^^ In reply too. [QUOTE=Tovleman;23918585]Can someone pm me a guest pass?[/QUOTE]

Got a 3 streak win with 2 of my buddys, yess! Of course some ass had to ruin it with his million marines :(

I'm adding those who PM'd me to the OP. I was asleep. A friend of mine did the planetary fortress rush the other day in 2s. Bout' laughed my ass off. This guy had already set up three rax with tech on each and my friend wiped em all out with that one CC.

lol whats even better is throwing in a proxy factory and sending thors in once the fortress is in. The guy freaks out when he sees the thors and gg's
