StarCraft 2, the GOAT game, must get its own thread

no, because computers are predictable

 

No, if you're now just moving onto insane, it means you'll be a pretty %@%@ty player online. THIS IS STARCRAFT, son. You will get murdered if you asked that on the battle(.net) grounds. If you do manage to get online, your first opponent will probably be a 13 yr old Korean kid who will absolutely humiliate you. He will toy with you and mock you (keke, many tanks yes?). Prepare your lube.

 

Human players are so resourceful and unpredictable its crazy...

 

Been playing 1v1 w Terran quite alot. The only thing that gives me trouble are cheesy toss players who build really close to my base, make zlots w chrono boost.

How do you guys handle that?

 

Scouting should help the situation, if you see their probe moving right next to your base rather than into it, they're probably proxying.

Also, you should be able to wall off your base and have 2 marines out by the time they have their first zealot, and if you have a few SCV's repairing your wall, your marines (standing behind the wall) should be able to handle their zealots.

 

It's funny, because at the lower levels (e.g., gold), players are rather predictable.

Protoss? Expect 2-gate into Void Rays.

Zerg? Expect 6/7-pool.

Terran? Expect MMM.

 

i think thats expected though. newer players gotta find a strat that works and they can work on and improve.

 

Not necessarily. For comps, you can repeatedly expose something that won't work for human players.

I'm a Zerg player and I got the achievement for beating an Insane AI under 5 minutes. The Terran AI doesn't block the entrance.

 

here are a couple more replays from last night. just 2v2 on lost temple, custom/non ranked games. would love to get some more feedback again. i tried implementing some of the ideas, i saw here.

It depends. Are you outmassing them and beating them in open battle? Or are you sitting behind blocked choke points and let them waste units and then counter attack?

If you can outmass units against Very Hard and Insane computers, then you've probably got a decent build order and speed.

When you go up against humans, you've just got to remember to scout and make the right units and you'll do fine. Further improvement obviously comes from more practice.

 

HoustonTexas code: 129

see yall ladies on bnet

 

my friend said he thought he heard something about a hotkey improvement map or something like that. anyone know what he might be talking about? im a total newb to hotkeying so was looking to get some help with that

 

So what is this game like? I wouldn't mind wasting some time in between college football games on Saturdays. But Civilization 5 is right around the corner... I have never played a game like this one, what is it comparable to? Why is it so fun? I don't get it. Help me out.

 

Check out thinkinggamers youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4suhhh6DbEo Practice it 1vs1 against a very easy opponent.

 

It's an RTS. You've got to just try it out to know what it is.

 

own me, I'm pwnalot code 922 i think

 

I got owned so bad in a 1 hr game yesterday in Platinum
I hate when Zergs go early 13 drone expansions..as a human player, unless I go 9 scv barracks, I won't be able to take it down. Actually I did go 9scv barracks and the game got into the later stage..5 expansion zerg vs 3 expansion terran.

I've now lost 4 in a row and is at 105-102...
