There is no easy counter to tanks.

I never said there was, but there are counters. Phoenix + Blink Stalker or Charged Zealots work wonders since you can get in there the instant the tanks are lifted to counter any anti air that could take the phoenix down, before finishing off the tanks.

This song got spotlighted on Team Liquid and it does a good job of depressing the hell out of me.
It is a good song, though.

Lyrics!
Imagine theres no chat rooms
its easy if you try
no op irc below us
only a friends list to find
Imagine all the people
with no place to talk


imagine no lan latency
it isnt hard to do
takes long to kill or die when
your army takes ages to move
Imagine all the people
playing games in lag

Chorus:
you may say I'm a dreamer
but im not the only one
maybe some day youll join us
activision and blizzard will rule the world as one


Imagine no cross region play
I wonder if you can
Our need for greed is your hunger
tough shit, just buy another game
Imagine all the people
playing without their friends

Chorus

Hey guys, I just returned from what I suppose you might call a weeks vacation (sort of). I would really like it if you all could re add me or give me your e-mails again due to the wipe. Was missing SC2 GAF quite a bit ;)

Regarding the EU tournament.

We will postpone all matches untill the next beta phase (Think all that is participating now will be in it).

Have a nice holiday!

Yeah apparently they're deadset on allowing duplicates.

Which is dumb and confusing.

But then again so is almost all of battlenet 0.2

huh...thats lame. they should just get the identifiers back. hopefully its not gone forever

Keeping the current system for names and adding friends would be stupidity on a grand scale. I'm pretty sure they'll change it for launch.

It is pretty much the only safe way since you are not as vulnerable to a ghost/emp counter as if you went for Immortals as you have the possibility to lift of the ghosts should the Terran tech to them.
I am glad that not everyone in this topic is an absolute twat, and there are people who will still talk about SCII in this topic.

What are you guys going to play when the beta is gone? It was the go to game my buddy and I have been playing. Now all we'll have is nhl 10 to fall back on.

WC3 seems like it would be too much of a learning curve at this point.

So it will work on June 7th? Or it will die the minute the internal clock hits 00:00 7th of June?

Well. I will do a "no competitive reflex games" month starting with tomorrow.
That means only practice mode in SSFIV, no SC I, WC3 or SCII - but Ill be watching the several new Day 9 dailies : )

And it will be a perfect time to finish and grind my few leftover games, such as ROF, Nier game+, Red Dead 100%, etc : )

Wow. I just won four 1v1 (Gold) games in a row by using the Phase Prism to warp 3-4 Dark Templars into the back of my opponent's base. I had never used them before today, but it's pretty amazing how few people prepare for cloaked units.

When the beta goes offline can we still play custom maps by drag clicking onto the sc2.exe?

A rush is any attack in the first ten minutes in which you have more units than they can stop.

The 'rush' mentality is why I couldn't get my friends into SC1/SC2. A timing push is just a rush in their mind :lol

Blizzard has said the editor will still function when the beta goes down, so you should be able to play all customs maps. There is also several offline launchers around with decent ais, so you can play on Blizzard maps as well. MP will be out though :(

You attack when you see a weakness to exploit, you don't wait for both sides to line up in the middle like the British did.

Some people do do this and do have fun doing this. I would hope they weren't a massively large population, but again yeah certain play styles are a turn off for certain people.

Man, feels like the SC2 beta has been around forever now, even though its been just like 2 months or so. Gonna feel weird when I cant just log in and start playing. Its gonna be a long few weeks/month/whatever. Backlog is beckoning, but damn.

lol fuck what they say. this dude called me a noob because, after rushing with zealots, i teched to stalker+blink, while simultaneously teching DT to sneak into his partners base. all he built was roaches and said we were lucky we werent scouted, as if i didnt rock him with my stalkers alone. idiots man.

Preaching to the choir. I was just explaining why I had a hard time getting friends interested in the game.
