zlatko said:Thank you. Just lost another fight due to Terran walling up and building tons of air units to shit on me. :/
PandaPandaPanda said:if terran is walling if with one or a few layers use banelings to break the choke point to make a way for your forces to get in
if of course they have tanks in seige mode then that isn't going to work out too well but it's really a case by case scenario really
i'd say zerg is the hardest race to play out of the 3 races but that's just my opinion
zlatko said:It feels that way. I think I have like 14 wins and 50 losses or something like that. I seriously ldon't think there is anyone worse than myself in Bronze League. The way I get molly whopped it feels like everyone I play against is on an alt account to crap on me with. I've only had 2 games ever where the other guy was I'd say equal/felt like he belonged in Bronze League like myself.
:/ It's exhausting trying to learn a game when you constantly lose. I don't know what to take away from most games since they are losses. The only time I feel I'm learning anything IS if I win, because I know up to that point I was building the right things based off of what I scouted.
like triple bunker rushHazaro said:I'd suggest learning a very safe early game opening personally.
If I had 2 completed bunkers up at home I would have been fine!Pandaman said:like triple bunker rush
PandaPandaPanda said:well as the old saying goes practice makes perfect really
you could try watching replays of good zerg players and try and pick up a thing or two
for example players such as eg.idra, fruitdealer(korean player), eg.machine, liquidret etc.
could start here and look for zerg games here http://www.youtube.com/user/ArtosisTV#p/u
i can't really offer any solid advice for zerg since I play random and zerg is my worst race and usually more often than not I lose when I get zerg in diamond league unfortunately

zlatko said:Got any tips on how to manage building while you are still attacking to keep pressure on? I make control units at the start, but I always forget to keep building while I'm making my pushes AKA I suck at multi tasking.
I read and watched all the helpful videos IGN.com put up in their SC2 multiplayer guide. I've really been going at it hard though for a few days now trying to get better at macro, micro, build orders, scouting, etc. It's still really rough though. I hope in a months time I can at least move up to silver league. Not sure how far someone with awful multi tasking skills can go in this game.
not what id expect to hear from a street fighter avatar.zlatko said::/ It's exhausting trying to learn a game when you constantly lose. I don't know what to take away from most games since they are losses.
are you really learning anything that way? i mean, the fact that you won means you already know how to read and counter that particular build. ideally, you should then study the games where you lose, because they must then be games where you couldn't tell what your opponent was doing, and you must learn a way to either maximize your scouting in that situation or look for something more subtle as a hint.The only time I feel I'm learning anything IS if I win, because I know up to that point I was building the right things based off of what I scouted.
HolyCheck said:Yeah. I bet they're paid off by kespa!
thats why i suggested 14gas/14pool, its not an allin unless you build the zerglings. its a safe opener that transitions well into macro, tech or aggression.Ikuu said:Not a good idea to just all-in your way up the ladder, just learn to macro properly and throw in the occasional all-in to mix it up. Or just switch to Terran or Toss and you'll probably do much better anyway.

It was a joke, though I don't think it's controversial to say that Terran and Toss are easier to win with at his level.mescalineeyes said:Just stop, man.

The entire article feels kinda silly to me, to be honest. The write-up for sc2 in particular, since it is basically 'it's good, maybe great, but it isn't this other thing we also really like'. But I guess there is something interesting about these complaints in general, which tend to mostly be that certain choices recent RTSes made (the Relic ones in particular, maybe the GPG ones too) aren't present SC2 final form.mescalineeyes said:Add Kotaku to the "long" List of people who thought StarCraft 2 was a disappointment for not being different enough from StarCraft 1.

Q8D3vil said:so good to be terran, i was losing against toss in mid-late game but thanks to mescalineyes guidance i won 85% of my TVP in the past 3 days.

FoxSpirit said:What did you do, 2 rax scv allin? Cloaked Banshee rush? Must have been something nice to earn that comment
yeah, fun part that its not even all in.mescalineeyes said:this is platinum league. none of those builds are viable ... especially not against toss
it was something far, far cooler. It's a fairly old build, it involves the Thor and strike cannons
Q8D3vil said:yeah, fun part that its not even all in.
only way to counter it is dt rush.

maybe you should step back from some of the subtleties and just build a big stick and get used to the feel of whacking people. in bronze, you could probably merc your way into gold just doing 14gas/14pool 15ovie 16queen/ling speed - zergling allin.

its a good build, i used it when reapers were still horrifying.zlatko said:Edit: Just tried out the build order Panda told me on an Insane difficulty Terran and won without a single issue. :lol
I'm on now and I'll be on till late too since I have off tomorrow. I'll probably be with the wife sometime around 7-9ish est. Whats good for you?Pandaman said:i dont mind, any idea when you'll be on cheeto so i can get dinner out of the way?
its a good build, i used it when reapers were still horrifying.
i you want ast tech, just skip lings and 22 expand.
if you want econ, pull off gas ater you get ling speed and 18 expand.
im getting dinner ready now, so ill probably pop on in an hour and just stay around all night.Cheeto said:I'm on now and I'll be on till late too since I have off tomorrow. I'll probably be with the wife sometime around 7-9ish est. Whats good for you?
