After the main battle of the last game I played, the guy made me hunt down his remaining units around the map for 40 mins. I had enough firepower to consistently chip away his forces down to a building or two, but not enough to completely eliminate him. And he refused to quit. If I didnt want the win so badly, I would have just quit myself :lol

Tried the sentry/zealot/Colossus build. Fucking awesome, saved me from the game in a 2v2 :lol
TPvZZ they were nydus worming our bases as their first attack, my teammate was destroyed/airlifted out and was out till much later but that combo works greats on hydras and small number of mutas

with my luck, reapers always seem to come at me when im doing some kind of zealot rush or something. i usually dont have a stalker ready when they send in like 4 reapers to my base. =/ im still slow

i think i played you in 2v2 on twilight. you put a proxy in the corner but i cant remember if you are the one who put a shitload of cannons or used it as a warp gate. u bastard
I've recently hit a bit of a surge. I just feel like I understand the game a whole lot more than I did a week ago... my macro is better... and my micro is getting better due to my understanding of the units (I've always felt micro is a strongpoint... I think my time in HoN/DOTA has really helped me with this).
That said... I'm sorry I'm in such a low division right now (Bronze). The biggest problem I'm facing is the fact that these players just don't know when to quit... or when precisely they've lost. I've spent my last 3 wins searching out opponents for 15-20 minutes... who just didn't know that the game was long gone. Annoying. I'm by no means this amazing player stuck in Bronze... I think I belong in a Silver league (most likely where I'll float when game hits launch)... but dealing with people who just refuse to say gg and quit the game...... ugh.
Had a nice couple of sessions with some of our GAF fellas tonight. Lotta fun. It's been nice playing with ya'll last couple of weeks. Made some new friends.. hopefully we can stay tight throughout our SC2 experience

I love how if you alt-tab while searching for game, sc2 comes back to fullscreen once it finds a match

Speedling/Hydra x2, second time I had two infestors who FG'd. The third I went MMM with support hellions. Lost both major open field battles though leaving him with <5 units. I had two very successful Hellion worker harasses that gave me the major economic advantage. I had the MMM's focus down the sentries while the hellions dealt with the zealots. In the end I won by just going 6 rax plus a factory pumping out units rallied into his base. I was worried I was going to have to get tanks and vikings but his economy just couldn't keep up. They didn't survive long enough to actually get real Colossi and I was smart enough to ignore the Hallucinated ones.

Huh. You can play like shit as long as you out economy your opponent. I just said fuck it and massed stalkers and my ally got dark templar. They had siege tanks, carriers, ravens, observers, vikings etc. They each had their natural, we had every other expansion on the map. I think they ran through our army like 3-4 times that we had to buy completely new units, but we ended up just walling them in with photon cannons and sending wave after wave of 200 pop armies in.

Yep. Normally I actually use some strategy, but I just decided to say fuck it when my ally started getting tons of DT.

Frustration-age kicking in :lol
Getting my ass kicked. I need to get better at the start of my builds to protect my base against early protoss rushes or reaper raids :/

anyone got a good resource of PRO replay files? my internet quota is woefully small, so i can't watch all these vids on youtube or live streams. much more bandwidth effective if i can just watch replay files.... but i can't find any PRO ones.
watching people play as badly as i do isn't much fun :/

not everyone is PRO, of course, but that's most likely the best place to look for the highest-skill-on-average replays.

What race are you playing as? Thor fucks them up with the splash damage, turrets mess them up now and a marine heavy bioball should mess them up. Pretty sure other races have valid strats against them as well.

uh as Zerg.NovemberMike said:
And so far if I have mutas.. I usually don't let people tech to Thors.. 1 ball of 24 laughs at sporadic turrets and they can fuck a marine ball pretty well themselves due to splash from glaive.
I also begin to make other units as it throws them off cuz they focus on making AA.

You guys talking about units that can beat mutas in a straight up fight just really don't get the unit I think..
If you have mutalisk, you should NEVER fight your opponents main army with them, that is not their purpose. Seems like turtle understands this if he is finding success with them
As a protoss player fighting in plat I would say 9 times out of 10 when I lose to a Zerg it is due to good use of mutalisks, and only after I am outnumbered 2:1 do they even think about fighting my army.
Got rank 1 2v2 plat back today using some hilarious strats, my ally called down 18ish nukes at once in one match.

Yea I never send mutas into a straight up fight.. and I always have a backup army on the ground of something that will distract fire or be a good counter for AA.. something like zlings.
Then I just micro and manuever my ball and hit single targets then run etc.
Heh me and my partner did something like this the other night. We focused hcore on air units and then had big battles with the enemies. Then they focused almost completely on anti-air and we built nothing but ground/ground and a few ground/air and demolished themTurtleSnatcher said:
