**Salodin** · 2011-12-19 21:31

WHO WON JULIAN?!!!

**Julian** · 2011-12-19 21:55

I did? >_>

**Salodin** · 2011-12-19 22:07

After you whooped day9, was there basically no one left to challenge you? I don't know how he wasn't paying attention to the zerg force that was being left alone lol...

also, any one up for some games?

**Julian** · 2011-12-20 05:22

Well, I was allied with Wilson all game long, although he pretty much died at the start, then rebuilt next to me. We just decided to call it a draw, although I could have killed him easy, I didn't want to be a dick like day9 and backstab since we were bros all game long.

It was cute when he sent his few lings and mutas with my huge roach hydra everytime I went out to attack, lol

**Not Kuno** · 2011-12-20 05:27

I saw the game. Good stuff. Oh man he screamed so loud.

**Aylee** · 2011-12-20 20:35

wtf with season 5? i was rank 3 in my bronze league when the latter locked. I was playing silver/bronze players and winning 75% of my matches. Won my placement match and got placed as 55 in a bronze latter. Now everyone i play rapes me horribly. I've won 1/5 games.... I check their past seasons and they are gold/plat. wtf

**Eanae** · 2011-12-20 21:00

Just did my 4v4 placement:

lol

**Salodin** · 2011-12-20 21:37

...he's apparently 7 pooling...

some one had to say it...

***Blarg*** · 2011-12-20 23:42

you can produce 7 zerglings at a time man, that is an OP strategy, you are lucky you scouted it

**Gredival** · 2011-12-21 00:06

You get some really bad people who get carried into higher multiplayer leagues because they get sorted as a pure anchor for stronger players in matchmaking.

I had a guy once that had at least 5 drones per mineral, and 7 drones per gas, with 6 hatcheries... And that was it. No tech structures, no expan. He said he was establishing his econ and to let him play his game.

It's possible they screwed up placements, but are you sure they are gold/plat in past 1v1s? I see a lot of people who are silver/bronze in 1v1s, but higher in multiplayer.

It's mostly because they use really niche all-in strats that work really well or fail really hard (mass Void Ray). So they win a lot of games on it, but get scouted and countered easily in 1v1s vs. better leagues.

It works better in team battles because they hope their teammates will hold off the early pressure which lets them to be really destructive right after the timing push fails and there isn't any anti-air massed up.

**Pikarya** · 2011-12-21 00:43

Anyone wanna do some placement matches?

So, it's not too late to get into this eh? Downloaded the starter pack last night and did the missions on hard. Up to zero hour on brutal and i think i can get it later today. Worried because this game has been out so long, but it still seems to be going pretty strong. I played age of empires 2 and a very small amout of sc1 back in the day, but very little online. Any tips for newbs?

**Eanae** · 2011-12-21 10:17

If you can beat campaign on brutal then you're at least a low gold level player mechanics wise.

The matchmaking system tries to give you a 50% winrate, you will meet similar level players skillwise regardless of ability.

Get ready to be cheesed, a lot. A safe build order and macroing behind it can pretty much get you to plat.
