It sucks, because I was on a map I had no practice on. Not sure wtf it was called. There was so many places to expand to though. I had scouted a few of the places I hadn't owned as the game went on. When he was getting on his third near his main/natural I went in for the kill thinking that this was it.
He had massed up the factories in the one corner I had not scouted. Once I took out his main/natural... and what I thought was his third. I took my army to check a few other spots up top, and my creep was not spread up there enough, so when he made his Thor Push he took out 3 hatcheries extremely quick. I get down there and the positioning for the fight didn't favor me, but if I didn't try to fight him then he'd take out another hatch.
Throughout the game he did some harassment with vikings to take out some overlords. He also had an incredible wall of ass kickery when I tried to take out his main/natural/third. Lots of units, but they were there to only buy him more time for the thors.
I also screwed up on not using my push then to set up myself for end game units(blords/ultralisks). I tried to engage the thors with a big roach/hydra army and a few corruptors. I grabbed a few of the Thors to shoot at the others, but where we engaged was a small choke so I was fucked. As I tried to remass with the few hatchers I had left during that fight... the units on the rally points for the hatches passed right by the Thors so they were picked off. I had a lot of drones at 2 of the hatcheries he took out, and my main and natural were mined out by that point. I just wasn't able to remass or sustain myself to stall for time somewhere else on the map and make Blords.
It just stinks that 1 little bit of info being missed(that base being hidden) cost me a game where I was so far out in the lead.
my training is mostly just me reminding people about ovies and constantly getting people to set small goals.zlatko said:One of these days you need to run me through a Zerg training regiment. The stuff I'm doing on my own just isn't cutting it.
but sure, the nanoha offer is always on the table.
its now also interchangeable with my little pony.

This has happened to me on more than one occasion. Since then, I've learned to always, ALWAYS tech when I'm up. If you have 2+ more expansions than your enemy, you will win as long as you have better tech then them.
For Terran, the best solution is always to go Ultra's. Nothing can really stop them (save a massive Tank wall, but if you know how to run diversions they really aren't a threat). Don't think you can win the game by just out-expanding.
I was wondering how 4 banelings killed my expansion. AAARRRGGGHHH misclicks.Pandaman said:another entry for GAF gaffes:
Striek seems to have adopted a frightful scorched earth policy to his expansions...
Edit: Actually I'm going with pity nexus sacrifice >_>
Baneling speed imba! Clearly I had gosu minimap vision (that time).Pandaman said:

Played my first SC2 MP match last night in the practice ladder. It was premature for me to play a match because I don't know the trees at all. It was humorous because while I lost, it was only because what Terran units I thought were Anti-air were in fact not. So when I caught him going with air units, I ended up screwing myself. That and the fact that the practice maps put fucking rocks at your choke point preventing any kind of scouting or early harass.
But yea, in the end I need to learn the units better before I start doing online stuff. L2P. Things have changed a bit since my BW days.

Just play some skirmishes vs computer and you'll get the units down in no time.
And yes, you should absolutely skip the practice matches once you feel you are ready to go online. Not only do they have stupid rocks, but they also are played at a slower speed.
I guess I'm fine with just getting into Gold 1v1 and I'd like to shoot for Platinum 2v2. In my 1v1 matches I typically beat the Gold players they match me up with (probably like a 66% win rate there), and I never lose to Bronze players ever. I have a strong win rate against fellow Silvers as well, but I don't think I'm a Platinum level player by any means.
In my 2v2s, my friend and I are winning most of our matches, whether we're favored or not. I think we'll probably place Gold this season as we stomped all over Silver last season, especially toward the end. I'd hope that we could improve enough to get to Platinum by season's end.

Pretty much.Won said:
Playing SC2 is not as good as watching pros play and the fact that the game is way to stressful. I'll see if I can stay in gold.

I got season 2 demotionEcto311 said:
.Goal for season 2 is to avoid just throwing the game away...
Or try and move from gold back to platinum and hopefully diamond. But just getting back to platinum seems like its gonna be hard.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I was thinking about skipping the practice matches after that one, mostly because of the rock bs, so I'm glad everyone pretty much confirmed that for me. lol
How does the friends list work on battle.net? Is there a GAF master list where I can start adding y'all? I'm on the NA server, and my username is AwesmeAnimal. Stupid character limit.

I find the Fyndor AI maps (search for "Fyn" in custom games) a pretty fun way to work on mechanics when 1v1 is too much, too. Waaaaaaaaay more interesting AI than the built-in one.ahoyhoy said:
