If any commanders are not familiar with the original Starcraft, allow me to bring you up to speed. The original Starcraft was one of the most important Real-Time Strategy Simulations ever released. Its ability to let commanders control three totally unique factions is widely credited in fundamentally changing how future Real-Time Strategy Simulations were created.

Starcraft is a simulation that takes both macromanagement and micromanagement strategy in consideration. Just as on the actual field, you will need to make structures, gather resources, and give orders to your units. In the competitive online skirmishes, it's very fast paced. Battles can be won or lost within the first few minutes of the match. Scouting and learning your opponent is quite crucial.

There are two basic resources: Minerals and Vespene Gas. Minerals are generally found in small clusters, and you will need many workers to efficiently collect them. Vespene Gas requires an extraction building, but requires fewer workers to collect. In general, minerals are the raw materials that help us construct our armies, while vespene gas is useful to allow the construction of more powerful units and upgrades. Efficient use of these resources given is often the key to success in Starcraft.

There are three key races in Starcraft, being the three main factions that hold power in the Koprulu Sector: the Terran, the Zerg, and the Protoss. Each race operates their troops very differently. We, the Terran, are a very mobile and flexible race. We can lift and move key structures, we can easily create walls with our supply depots, and our units have a nice balance between power and cost efficiency. The Zerg Swarm is a very savage force, being able to spawn large numbers of units very quickly, but individual units are very weak and their restriction of building structures on the creep limits their flexibility. The powerful Protoss can create very impressive units, but they are ultimately limited by their high cost. They also must create their buildings in a pylon power field, but this power field also allows them to warp in units almost anywhere on the battlefield.

This may all sound complicated, but Starcraft has always had approachability in mind. "Easy to learn, difficult to master" has always been its design philosophy. If you're intrigued, you may wish to pick up a copy of the original Starcraft if you have not already. It's still available for pickup at any supply depot, even over 10 years after release. Start with the campaign, it will ease you in to learning the basics of each race until graduating you to the higher level units.​

I think it's a Best out of 3. This is game 1.

 

[Majine]

I wonder what in GAFs infastructure that somehow mess things up when megathreads exceed 20 000 or whatever it was. I spend alot of time on another forum where there are alot of megathreads, one at 200 000 :lol still alive and kicking.

JESUS FLASH

Jaedong throwing units into Spider Mines? =x

ive been on another forum about the same size as gaf that had a similar problem.

i think it has more to do with the number of large threads rather than the size of any one thread in particular, but i wont pretend to understand the details of it.

 

[Hazaro]

Jaedong has 6 bases

Man I want to see this in SC2.

*OH MY GOD THIS ARMY CONTROL

DROPS, SWARM, MINES, SECOND TANK LINES, DMATRIX, 50 TURRETS

 

[Dreams-Visions]

yoyoyo

D-V, checking in. I miss the last thread already...but not the "OP" bitching.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Haven't played this game is such a long time... :/

 

[Hazaro]

That match was insane. Easily topping Fruitdealer vs Hopetorture.

That macro is insane. Such good army control and just everything flawless from both players.

 

[vicissitudes]

Uhh what happened at the end? Stream went offline.

 

[Yoshichan]

A new era!

 

[Procarbine]

Anyone want to play some games tonight? Get the GAF 2v2 lobbies with 8 specs going just like the beta, it'll be awesome!

 

[Aquavelvaman]

I like to play Starcraft II

 

[elrechazado]

yay new thread.

 

[Yoshichan]

By the way, for the new people in this thread:

Look out for me (yoshichan), I am extremely good at this game. You will cry if you play me.

Why are you people not talking about this!

Disappointing :[

 

[vicissitudes]

I'm watching it, but the stream is pretty bad. Keeps stopping every 2-3 seconds. Really think Jaedong should be doing more with muta harass.

Thanks, much better.

Jaedong seems to be doing better this game with good lurker play but still behind in supply I think. Flash has had his number for years.

 

[spoon!]

I take it JD has given up on his 4pool play :lol


god, nothing like a massive macro map

 

[vicissitudes]

Not sure why Jaedong loves to send units in a line to sieged tanks. Horrible unit control.

SC1 AI pathing works like that.

No balls, 12 units at a time.

Besides swarm is insane. :lol

At least get 3-4 control groups, get them together, then send them in at once with some defilers.

Also it's sad how weak Ultralisks are in BW compared to SC2. No splash

Well since you have no marauders they do pretty well at tanking since your ultras and lings become invincible under swarm.

When the marines do 3 damage the ultras tank pretty well.

This game is soooooooo good
Super macro game, so much action.

 

[spoon!]

JD ahead in food now. gogogog


GOD DAMN YOU STREAM :lol

 

[Shanadeus]

Let's christen this thread!

...

Just kidding :lol

 

[vicissitudes]

Streams are down I guess Flash lost...wtf? Damn you stream

Shanadeus: Oh god don't post the whole thing please.

 

[spoon!]

JD's ultra/ling/defiler finally prevails. Taking it to game 3!

 

[Morbid Angel]

Amazing game. GOGOGO JD!

 

[AdventureRacing]

I thought flash had that for sure, amazing game.

 

[Corran Horn]

Zerg wins!

Additional streams for backup.

Amazing 2 games. Hope game 3 is just as good.

 

[spoon!]

It feels so damn weird to see a BO3 flash vs JD game


BW mutas. Fuck yeah

 

[tehbear]

Has the stars aligned? JD and Cool? XD

Broodwar is such an ugly game lol, but man is the gameplay intricate. Action ALL over, hard not to like. That epic D from JD, it's like watching Tester do his thing on multiple fronts at once :lol
