I was going to predict that someone remakes SC1 and BW using the editor. Would be sweet. For a second I thought about doing it myself/asking if anyone would be down to remake it...but jesus it would take forever.

I think that the damage types would be a problem recreating though, due to the fact that we have no idea what they are in SC1.MisterAnderson said:

I can see that getting a good following and have its own blizzard style tweaking over and over
The strategy is to not let them mass banshees.
They take a while to get to, are fairly expensive, and so is the cloak upgrade.
A few turrets/spore crawlers/cannons are all you need to detect them long enough, and any decent number of marines or stalkers or hydras will kill them.
If you want to be smart about it:
void rays + an observer
phoenixes + an observer
mutas + an over seer
vikings plus a raven
vikings plus a scan

It wouldn't be too big of a deal since it's a single player campaign. And also, I thought people figured out the damage types? Like splash does bonus to light units like zerglings etc., concussive does little damage to dragoons, etc.? Or something...I thought I read it somewhere.

I just won a Protoss mirrormatch before BNet went down. This was the first time that my opponent did something I didn't expect, namely rush Void Rays (I don't have a lot of experience) and I kind of turned around the match by seeing that early and massing Stalkers. I saw him attack my base with 4-5 Void Rays and I just left my Stalkers and Sentries in my base to defend and sent my 4 Zealots in his base and killed all his workers. He then left the game. (by the way, how is it that nearly all the time when I win, the opponent just leaves without saying GG? I even had one complaining "lol bad game" before ragequitting. I don't remember this as much from WC3)

Hellions are pretty much a hard counter to Banelings. Siege tanks own them as well.
With stimpack you can also micro your MM's to move away and kite the banelings. Their speed ugprade makes this harder to do but stimming and kiting works pretty well.

Harass the zerg with hellions. Get the upgrade and zerglings get pretty much deleted with a little bit of micro. Even if they come in and bust a supply depot, your hellions are fast enough to blow them away before they do any serious damage and then you're free to counter, assuming of course the ratio isn't 3 hellions to 40 zerglings or something.

PvP, good counter for mass Stalkers? I mean, other than Stalkers themselves.

Man, screw 2v2. Can't believe it put me in Copper of all places.
Immortals. Stalkers are armored, so Immortals tear through them really easily.

Tell me about it. The worst part is that I've been on my computer since then, so that I would be sure I wouldn't miss a minute when they open it.watervengeance said:

I and he were refering to the baneling bust where at about 6 minutes the zerg can have 6 banelings and lings at your front door, with more lings en route to the fight with speed upgrade and he basically uses the banes to blow up the wall, it's very effective :lol-COOLIO- said:
*oh, and I dun't really know what terran can do to counter it :rollseyes
Side note, streaming!
Didn't someone here experiment with streaming some time ago? I want to try and set up a stream of my 2's but I'm not really sure of where to start? I signed up to ustream but I need another camera to do it? People must use something to just display their desktop right? halp.

The whole beta-process was by far the easiest and smoothest process ever IMO.
