[MisterAnderson]

there are alot of tools to deal with a roacher, so its not that bad. :\ you just see alot of them because they're obvious and easy to use.

i'm actually starting to find that banelings and FE's can be much more potent.

What are FE's?

 

[Pandaman]

Also, when do you guys go com stat station?

I go supply, barracks, supply, refinery, refinery, orbital. the mule then covers for the workers i lose to the second refinery.

@anderson: fast expands.

@zealous: im alt tabbing atm, so i wouldnt mind. i saw ter lurking too.

 

[aznpxdd]

I love what they've done to ghosts in SC2. They went from a niche unit to a unit that turns the tide of battles...

[TurtleSnatcher]

Fun times.. Fun times.

 

[aznpxdd]

Man, I think I micro'd and macro'd horrible that game. I need to separate ghosts into a separate group. When I select them all as one huge group, I only see ghosts' abilities.

could be worse, you could be me trying to switch between guardian shield and psy storm only to end up mashing R.

FE = fast expand.

Yeah, if you put ghosts in the same group, you have to tab to use the stims.

I'm borrowing a friends laptop until my new PC parts come from newegg. If I install SCII beta to this laptop, will I still be able to download it to my new computer next week?

[takes away rage goggles]

Yeah sorry, I don't know wtf I was doing that game. I watched the replay too and was mentally screaming at myself the whole time.

Also I'm not sure if its the built-in 250ms lag or what but sometimes I spam the hotkeys for unit abilities and nothing happens (that particular game was my fault). Any known bugs on this?

 

[aznpxdd]

Pez you around?

I gotta add you to MSN or AIM or something...

 

[mint]

Vaulition I didn't know you were ranked plat 12th in 1v1! No wonder you didn't give up so easily :lol I had to give you that game for sure, you deserved it.

Ok who's up for 2v2 neogaf tourney 3/21 Sunday? We could do 6pm central?

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Pez you around?

Ya ILl hop on.

 

[Hazaro]

I didn't think I'd gravitate towards 2v2... but this is really fun.
A ton more fun.

ggs for placement with Alum tonight. Rockin hard.
Loss was to a DT/Void Ray rush combo to some Gold players.

Last game of placement was just awesome, I got wrecked hard at the beginning and they pressed Alum, but I just pumped units off 2 gas and 5 SCV + mules (3 marines + tank) and we held on to come back. So sweet. So so sweet. They had like double our scores :lol

I think it was because we held our armies together, my well positioned tanks tore up the Terrans MMM (and my stimmed rines sniped the medivacs while acting as meat buffer for my tanks (running 25 MM into 6 marines blocking my tanks = a lot of dead enemy units)

Held off the Protoss, he teched to Void Rays and tried to snipe my CC, with marines (vs 4 void rays), then later tried again. Lotta gas and minerals down the drain for killing nothing

9-1!

 

[FromTheFuture]

Wait, that stat score isn't right. Mine is completely different. Mine shows:

BukuDollars - 82,525
Alumnus - 75,845
Haz - 73,875
Vicious - 47,600

Which makes a TON more sense than the screen you posted. SC2 is quite buggy.

Also, other discrepancies, such as the match was actually 29 minutes, not 21.

 

[Apath]

What can a Protoss do to counter EMP? Every match I've seen it used, it completely decimates a protoss army.

That seems more correct. Still awesome game. I'll UL the replay.

Feedback.

 

[Zzoram]

DTs are so hard to fight as Terran. They can have them out by the time you're ready to push with an MM ball, but before I have a Raven.

Also, Ravens are so amazing against Zerg.

I lost a bunch of matches in Silver and got demoted to Bronze, it made me sad. I'm winning a lot more in Bronze now, so maybe I'll make my way back up.

What was your winning percentage around when you were demoted? Do you know if there's a buffer period after a promotion/demotion to keep people from yoyoing between leagues too rapidly?

 

[Zzoram]

I think I was around 14/18 when I got demoted. I'm 21/19 now.

 

[mint]

You'll jump back to Silver soon. 1v1 is really the best. I'm 12th gold right now. Hopefully when the ladder resets I can jump to plat immediately after placement is over.

 

[Trasher]

Protoss players: I require your aid. I want to know what some popular build orders are, but I can't find any. Looked around teamliquid.net but couldn't find any posted.

 

[remz]

The UI in this game is fab.


That is all.

 

[Scrow]

just played my first placement match (i only won 1 of my practice matches).

i was zerg, he was protoss. i actually did better than i was expecting, but still got beaten pretty easily.

zerg and protoss are so much easier to play compared to terran imo.

 

[Wedge7]

Fuck man, sometimes you just go through those god awful streaks, losing like 5 times in a row. So frustrating, start to play bad, start forgetting simple timings, start fucking up with remembering to build shit or upgrade stuff. I started getting food cock blocked like 4 times in a row, go for a push and realize I forgot to upgrade stim...fuck.

Constant harrass always flusters me, and I get off my game big time. Alot of people do, but gotta learn to think through the pressure, which I suppose is easier said than done. Just start frantically spamming the que on my measly 4 barracks, start forgetting random idle scvs, and my whole game plan goes to shit.

Fuck. You gotta love this game.

 

[Pandaman]

im pretty pleased over that last game. :lol

 

[aznpxdd]

Fuck proxies. That is all.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Grats!

Now lets see how far you can climb up Platinum 2v2

I can tell you.. the tactics people use at the higher lvl play are really lame..


DeltronZero and I went from rank 9th to rank 16 cuz we didn't play 24/7 all night and people passed us.. But we just climbed our way back up to 9th tonight.

We are totally hot shit.

That is all.

Fuck proxies. That is all.

GET OUT OF MY MIND

 

[mint]

Turtle, you and Deltron vs me and hana.

 

[aznpxdd]

Turtle, you and Deltron vs me and hana.

How are you guys doing in Plat? Proxies is so fucking lame and pretty much all our losses came from that. Are you facing tons of Proxies?

 

[JWong]

Oh man, I hope the vets will have mercy on a somewhat experienced dude like me.

 

[mint]

We haven't played since yesterday evening since I'm working right now, but yes proxies is very lame. But Terran also has a very strong cheese rush against Toss as well lol

 

[aznpxdd]

Wait till you play more plat games.. you are only thinking Toss.. lol

 

[Jackson]

Just started playing this today... yayz

 

[mint]

Wait till you play more plat games.. you are only thinking Toss.. lol

I don't know, zerg is not much of a problem for me. Toss is one thing that annoys me to no end lol. Whether its proxy 2 gateway or stalker + colossi. With proxy 2 gateway a bunker is essential and must repair with 3-4 scvs. If you can fend it off, its pretty much gg for him cuz your economy is so much better than his..as long as you are continuing to pump out scvs.

Man I want to get out of work right now -_-

 

[LaneDS]

I know I've played too much SC2 tonight because while browsing another thread just now I tried to scroll the page down by pushing my mouse to the bottom of the screen

 

[Hazaro]

I play against zzoram to try to show him a TvT build, have a good sized 20 food advantage the whole game (70-50 100-80), harass, delay expo mining, kill the expo, then lose to 4 thors walking up my ramp with hellion supply killing my marines :lol

I want to say not having my tanks on my ledge along with not mining gas on my expo forever (or using it even) caused the loss but I'm not sure.

I still prefer marines as my mineral sink since marines are great at holding off a lot of stuff. Who the hell goes hellion anyway :lol

I probably could of transitioned into cloaked banshees since he would of only had 2 scans max and wouldn't be able to cover his whole base.

 

[Apath]

God damn, am I the only one left without a key? >.< Fuck you Blizzard, start another invite wave !!

EMP has been key for me and Pez defeating end game toss.

Hazaro and Alumnus..looks like we another plat 2v2 team..but it seems not hard to get to plat in 2v2

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

What do you do when its Toss + Terran and they BOTH proxy?
Yea.. we saw that a few times tonight.. :lol

We even saw a double Terran proxy..

Hell I can tell you 50% of our games at least contained proxys..

We countered one hella well though. It was agst a team that did it to us the game before and won.. then we played them again right after.. and man did we fucking pwn that shit down

I'm right here with you as well solidarity brothers we'll get our turn eventually.. although the wait is fuckin brutal.. SC is the only game I ever got addicted to. I'm buying a new monitor on release day so I can view everything in its full glory lol

I remembered when gaf had a small moment when SC2 was announced and we played classic maybe we should just start that up again for ppl without keys lol
