Is something wrong with Battle.net. I can't seem to log on.

I wonder if Starcraft servers will get murdered when the big wow patches come out and blow everything up at Blizzard like they always do.

Still hasn't kicked me yet but I cant do anything, search for games or look at my stats or anything. Shitty. I want to do some Funday Monday shenanigans!
EDIT: Oh, there it goes. Disconnect.
EDIT 2: Bnet failing miserably tonight. I think I'm done, I'll play some more Shadow Assault with you tomorrow Mister.

Funday mondaying has me seeing ghosts in a new light. I'm just demolishing muta harass, easily launching nukes with scans and straight up fighting most light armies like hydras I come across. Medivacs are lucky if all they lose is their energy on the way to the drop as a few ghosts can really crank the damage on their fragile light frames.

May the Schwartz be with you
Watching Iccup is funny. Down goes the servers...again...

Anyone up for some Funday Monday? So far it's Keikaku and myself, need a third and possibly fourth.
So, I want to play zerg, someone has a nice stable opening I can use just to feel safe?
Like, when overlord, when pool, when queen, when speed it's all I need to feel secure (after that I think I'll go with the flow, based on scouting).
Like, with Protoss, I go 9 pylon, 12 gate, 13 gas and take it from there and works well enough.

Guys, you need to get in on this Funday Monday thing. Pyke and I are having a ball coming up with funky unit comps.
First game, we went Sentries+roaches. The last game we just went probes. Pyke build 300+ probes :lol :lol :lol
EDIT: From 16 Nexii :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
DOUBLE EDIT: Keikaku.609 to join us and get the ball rolling

Replay is on the way. It's totally gonna be my strat for a 4v4 Funday Monday game.
EDIT: Here it is. Keep in mind this is just the two of us practicing against each other since nobody else is online.
The Ultimate Strategy!

So I've been playing around with a 12 hatch build. Usually this goes up just before a scout comes around so there's almost always early pressure, but it all goes down on the expansion, which can afford to take some damage before letting you retaliate harder than they expect.
I have to use it more to see if it's actually that viable, but it's definitely fun.

that build into muta into ultralisk will rape most people on the ladder. hard.Sblargh said:

God damn this shit is hard. It's really tough to get a good synergy going, and when one or two people pick relatively high tech units on a big open map...well, they tend to get stomped when the first army comes through their door. I feel you almost have to get 2 or 3 guys going tier 1.5 at highest and then do some early aggression, as well as hope for team bases, but that isnt really interesting. Very tough to do.
Also, Archons and medivacs is a terrible combo. Just so you know, that 10 health means nothing.

well day9 will only ast interesting games, right? which wont happen with a standard zealot/marine/stalker/BC unit choice. so basically if you actually want to do it, and have FUN.... you're gonna have a shiiiiitty record lol.
i also feel like it would be easier to have a silly ass game with people who are really low in skill

Yeah, this is what makes it so tough. You know it's gotta be something cool and off the wall, which means it's going to fail A LOT before you finally get a good game out of it. It sucks because these tier 1.5 armies just arent interesting enough to really make a cast, but the tier 2.5-3 armies are so slow to get rolling that you need terrible opponents to pull it off. It's a bad mix all around, and very tough to do.

Just have the Phoenixes snipe all their mobile detection and you win (unless they're playing Terran, shhhhh).
And everyone will have plenty of excess minerals to build defenses with. And the terrans can just give their excess to the Toss to put cannons at everyone's bases.
