I have returned: StarCraft II

[Correction]

You being sarcastic!? I felt good about winning that game even though they were both pretty silly for going mass MM.

Light Blue didn't seem to know what the fuck but the other enemy Terran was pretty intelligent it seemed. 2v2 is this big opaque thing to me; I'd really want to know more about the matchups because at least in WC3 you had scrolls of town portal to save an ally under attack. Here it's 'they ganged my base go kill one of their mains while I keep them here and die.'

Yeah, I've lost quite a few matches because both players decided to rush me and my ally couldn't get there to help in time. I think it's really lame sometimes and the only real way to counter it, if you're too late is to try to pressure them to come out of the base. I can't think of something better.

Got a second key today also, funny thing is I applied for beta two weeks ago got in 3 days later and got invite a friend key today

did you test out whether nydus works for allies? the tooltip says "friendly units" is why i asked, those banelings sorta made me forget about trying to find out lol

Can you mind control with the corruptor and send the unit in the worm lol?

[Flarega]

Probably not. If you move the unit a certain distance away from the infestor the tentacle rape thing will detach anyway. And if you can do it I bet they change it.

[Kaylia]

I shouldnt have done my ranking this late haha. That was bad.



And wtf the do you do on protoss against muta, or against terran flying shit.... I think every match I lost was protoss against flying stuff.

[geno]

Pheonixs and sentries when the enemies are light & fast (banshees for terran, mutas for zerg). Stalkers and Void rays for the heavier duty stuff (mainly stalkers for Vikings in particular though as that will be a more common sight).

[izembo]

hopefully they send more invites soon :D

really wanna see this toss stuff for myself

[Misterjingles]

Better match than the first, however there was very little tech for the Zerg.

[Maguspk]

Wow they need to get some better players. That was painful to watch, they both tech like they read forums all day. Der build MM, der build Roaches. Der don't counter just mass unats.

[GRT]

derpaderpaderp build fotm units derpaderpaderp

i'm sure you can find way better shoutcasts than those dude, at least in the actual game aspect of it

here's a game casted by BlizShouter (aka Crota), absolutely epic

also check out another recent one by him between Jero and Sssm, sweet hunter seeker missile action

[SilverBreeze]

I use Hunter Seeker Missiles quite religiously late game, especially against Terran MMM (Marine Marauder Medivacs), the damage is pretty amazing. You don't see Ravens nearly enough in this game. I really hope they move HSM to Tech Lab only soon.

Really the caster(s) make games more exciting than the players themselves sometimes. If the caster sucks then the game is boring most of the time.

[GRT]

i suck at ravens, have to stop macroing or i'll missile myself when doing it against mutas vikings phoenixes

[SilverBreeze]

Holy shit that HSM game you mentioned was amazing. He killed 42 food of Zerg Units with the second missile in that battle at the end of the second replay. Holy fucking shit.

EDIT: There's a Raven in that game with 32 kills LOL.

[Maguspk]

Before I start watching is that seriously a 44 minute match? Holy shit, haha.

edit: some sexy psi storms
edit2: LOL, I like how in the HSM game he has to stop and replay it when the hsm takes all the mutas to like 1 hp. That was epic.

[vrumpt]

if anybody has an extra friend key just lying around i'll be happy to take it off your hands.

just pm me.

yeah mass mutas rape the shit out o fmass stalkers. really annoys me.

Only thing you can do is a couple of psi storms backed up with stalkers. expensive as hell though

[Kaylia]

Psi storm is another problem... Am I the only one who have trouble landing it on air unit with the 3d perspective. It's doing a great job on weak ground units, but it's not working so well against large aerial army.


I wish it could be tech'd earlier too. It's very helpful if the game last more than 15-20+ min, but before that, it probably won't do a great job (templar have very little mobility to defend expand)


[edit]


Am I the only one who can't sleep after playing starcraft 12-16 hours in a single days? >_> I'm suffering of a bad case of Starcraft effect

Tbh I have trouble too landing psi storm on mutalisks, although it was more to do with the zerg player always dodging them pretty easilly as mutas are so mobile. I guess another alternative is to make a mothership and vortex 1/2 of them while your stalkers take out the remainder.
