I'm not sure what the USA player count on battle.net is, but it has to be big as hell.
Tournaments wise I think it's safe to say that SC2 is the best paying eSport to take part in world wide. Someone can correct me on that if need be, and try to get more numbers, but if you were to go pro at a game then SC2 is the best monetary wise I know of to go with.

Was MarineKing taking a nap while playing or something ?Deadman said:
I like Ret and everything but not even once he did his the marine split he's famous for.
pretty much agree with this youtube post (I know, crazy !!)
I haven't watched the video yet, but 저승사자 is Prime clan practice account, so unless artosis knows for sure, it could be any prime player. Based on the winrate it has been mostly Marineking (and Check, as the account was initially mainly Z) playing thoughTheThunder said:

Really? Why is it so hard to go from say Bronze to Silver ? I have a lot more wins than losses and sit at 4th in my ladder at around 1300 points, but the guy in first is at 1900 some. I win most of my even match games, rarely if ever lose to anyone who isn't favored over me.
YakiSOBA said:
It entirely depends on how well you're doing.
If you move up into Platinum and keep on winning consistently, it theoretically won't take long. If you are only winning slightly more than you are losing it could take forever.
Not that I actually know, since I've been in Platinum for months and don't ladder that often.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I really don't understand how the system works but when I started working myself from Bronze to Diamond, bronze to silver was super slow. Silver to gold was insanely fast and gold to platinum was slow.zlatko said:
The basic thing you need to remember about the matchmaking system to explain most of how the system roughly behaves is that instead of having just a skillrank that it puts you at, it has a combination of a rank and a confidence level in that rank's accuracy for every player internally. It only moves you up if you have both moved up your skillrank and if said rank is stable enough for the confidence level to be high. You can get a basic sense of your internal skillrank by looking at the level of your opponents. To get a sense if the confidence level is high you need to look at your game history and if you have had a roughly 50% win rate against similar level players for a while.

May the Schwartz be with you

I have a question
How do I stop like somebody who does early roaches and doesn't expand early (1 base Zerg)?
Should I not do my crappy 4gate when I scout it because I notice they are able to usually beat me if I do this. I win every game I play when I do 4Gate if a Zerg doesn't rush me during the first seven minutes or so.
If I scout an early warren what should I do?

Just won by spamming phoenix (got like 10 of them in less than a minute, or at least it felt like that). Harassed the living shit out of his scvs while constantly gaining minerals for me to spam warpgates + 10000 zealots.

Wow.

when you scout it, build sentries.(._.) said:
when it shows up, forcefield your ramp.
then just lol and warp in a massive army made up of stronger units that are cost effective and will result in a higher supply count and can be powered off of your superior economy.
(._.) said:
I usually switch to a robo build with a forge and cannon+sentry defend. It works quite well and allows me to build imms and just go kill him.
Yoshichan said:
You would either need 5 stargates or 3-4 with chronoboost to get 10 phoenix in about 1 minute. Also, how the hell did your opponent not build marines and kill your phoenix. He didn't scan and detect stargates?

Anyone else notice alot of people you know stopped playing after the first month or two it came out?
(._.) said:
Assuming this is a 7RR or similar, spend your chrono on warpgate units, not the warpgate upgrade. The classic 4gate rush that only really starts unit production after getting warpgates is too slow and will die to a 7RR. You just gotta chrono out as many units as you can while adding gateways as able. I personally don't like getting more than 1 sentry because you gotta account for them using an overlord to spot the highground and attacking your walloff.

Is the game really worth 60 dollars if you dont play it for more than 2 months? I also don't get why this is one of the first few PC games that are over 50 dollars.
Honestly, if you don't plan on playing longer than two months this may not be for you. Two months for one game is a great price for such a longevity, very little games last that long let alone a RTS.
I can assure you if you play with GAF you can easily play this for a very long time.

So today I came to think of how awesome it would be if spinecrawlers actually gave light up the ramp.
edit: can I like, fly with an overlord where the spinecrawlers are and lure out enemy units?
