I have returned: StarCraft II

[Eanae]

For Zerg, Marine/Tank/Medivac adding in ghosts if you scout infestors or a hive tech is a good option. This build also gives you the option to open reactor factory and go into reactored helions.

Marine/marauder/ghost/medivac adding in vikings if you scout robo tech or just 1/1/1 (this is an all-in build) vs Protoss should be fine.

For Terran, Artosis is a major proponent of mech, but pure mech is just going to get you killed as a bronze/silver level player probably. I'd say marine/tank/viking and some medivac support would be ok. Vikings to get your tanks vision. Air superiority is important if you're going into tank vs tank playing.

Question about teams and stuff in the pro league. Why join a team? Do you have to give a cut of your money to your team or something? Just trying to understand how they work, how they make money etc.

I can't speak for all teams but I can tell you how EG operates, and I imagine that lots of teams work similarly.

Players receive a salary under contract. In addition, they receive free room/board at the team's training facility and the team generally covers the tournament costs (including travel, lodging, and registration). In combination, this allows a player to play full-time and earn money while doing it. Starcraft is an extremely practice intensive game, so being able to focus on playing without simultaneously working a job is a large factor in performance.

The money that bankrolls player salaries, tournament costs, the team houses, etc. generally comes from sponsors. If you look at team jerseys, they are all littered with sponsor logos. A team's players are generally restricted to using equipment from sponsors and promote the sponsors and their equipment. If you watch streamed Starcraft, you will notice that many players use a team overlay that includes sponsor advertisements. Generally a team's website will include prominent featuring of sponsors.

I am fairly sure tournament earnings are not split back to the team, for most teams. However, every team has a vested interest in players performing consistently well because it helps them earn money indirectly. Sponsors like teams that attract a lot of attention, fans, etc. In other words, they want to see a pay-off from their investment. Popular/marketability is linked with success, so even only moderately successful players like Destiny are often sought-after for the fans they will draw into their team.

This is why people shouldn't talk shit unless they are sure victory is 99.9% (preferably 100%) theirs.

My MMR is finally hitting masters level. Been playing A LOT of 3v3s (98 wins in 3 days) and practically every game I que now has 4-5 masters (usually 3-4 top masters) while I'm rank 1 diamond. Hoping I can get my first masters promotion.

[altwight]

Hay, I'm currently rank 1 diamond 3v3 with practically masters MMR since every one of my opponents is generally masters.

Looking for one person who will que up as random with me for 3v3s. Preferably zerg, I am protoss.

preferably masters player.

[altwight]

I absolutely can't stand it when I gg wp after I lose a game and get whispered with trash talk afterwards.

I'd be interested but I'm only a Plat (demotion from Diamond after a terrible losing streak of like one day 3-30 last month). But I'm weird and I mainly enjoy multiplayer SC2 compared to 1v1, so my play style is very tailored for that.

I usually play Random, but my 1v1 race is Zerg.

Any tips for All In? I know I can just look up a video, but I don't want it handed to me like that. This is really one of the first missions that I've had trouble with and it just seems stupidly difficult. I set up tanks and Psi Disrupters along the three entrances to camp. Maybe 1-2 extra bunkers and a few perdition turrets as well. Kerrigan just rapes and leaves something open for a worm volley and I just get overrun around 50-60%.

[Julian]

wall with bunkers, mass tanks, mass tanks, then make banshees for nydus sniping

[Raen Ryong]

Stick tons of tanks around the base of the cliff with the thingy on it. Guard that cliff with your life. Make sure you get upgrades and enough production facilities such that you can constantly pump units.

When Kerrigan comes, try to engage her before she hits your squishy squishy tank line, baiting her special attacks with small sacrificial groups (probably Marines).

[Eanae]

Don't even need bunkers or banshees. Mass tanks and planetary fortress x2 by the artifact and use the artifact when too many nydus spawn = win. Have some marines and medics ready to kill kerrigan.
