so as luck would have it, a GAF member won; and it was because of the second entry! I'll let the member let everyone know he or she won, if he/she chooses to do so. Would never want to put his/her life in danger when GAF hunts him/her down haha for impressions, and well, the beta key of course haha.

ok, if you see me on, invite.

some dude named XenobladerX on twitter won the key.
 
Reaper nerfs, but I wasn't using them much already in the early game-better to scare protoss by showing a tech lab at your wall-off rax and then go 2 rax marauders/1 rax marine (against 2 gate) or 1 rax marauders/2 rax marine after you kill off his scouting probe (at which point the only tech info he'll have on you is your tech lab and he'll have to get stalkers to protect against possible reaper harass.

Dunno if Banshees needed a buff to be honest. I think you now pretty much have to go for a 2 port opener in TvT.

I was a pretty big reaper rusher, unfortunately; guess I'll try out your strategy.
 
I love how on top of protoss OP blizz seems to be. They even took it slow, nerfing mothership just a little, seeing if the warp ability was key, and increasing gateway time, and then in less than a day they realize it needed more so they uber-nerf the MS and chronoboost like crazy!

They sound like they know what they're doing. Not sure how i feel about nydus though, zerg has a lot of weaknesses, especially air so it makes sense for them to dominate close combat ground IMHO.

I don't condone any illegal activities but you guys w/o beta invites might have to do some searching for a certain something ;p just a heads up.


Gotta practice some SC2 before retail release somehow you know.

Now you have an idea.

If you are talking about the "crack" released earlier today, that does basically nothing for you, no play against AI or anything.
