samkim, friend code 979

US, dunno east vs west

hfswjyr.hfswjyr code 606 in .... south east asia.

Apparently they will open north america to us in 60 days, so might change server when that happens.

Ahahah, i had no idea hfs was Korean. This is a rude awakening.

he's from NZ.

Damn, so they group the zeladers in with the Koreans? Instead of feeling threatened by Hfs, i now feel sad for him. He shares a realm with EVERY SINGLE KOREAN.

south east asia...

god damn you are a little stupid.

why stop at a little

I don't see my error. Here's what has happend,

"So im on the South east Asia server."~Hfs
"Oh, so youre korean, you must be godlike at this game"~Me
"No, im new zelandish(er)"~Hfs
"Oh, man it sucks that youre grouped in with all the crazy Koreans."~me
"AH HURP A DINGLE ONDAH!!! YOU IST SEHR ESTUPIDO ME AMIGO!!!"~hfs

New Zeland is southeast of Australia. Aka, he's grouped in with Korea.

If I were in New Zealand I'd worry less about the Koreans and more about the Balrog.

Is there an East/West distinction for North Americans? I can only find Region: North America on my account.

Haha, I just realized that my ethnic background (Philippines) would be in South East Asia.

Kingpin on US server.


FUCK YEAH!!! im so down to play i will be on later tonight for sure

How come I'm the only guy in Europe. Oh well, I'll wait for the cross-realm patch.

Cat I would say wait for me to get my new computer and internet line, but by the time that happens the patch will probably already be out :-/

There is no US east/west, only US

Greg and I have been playing some 2s, feel free to join us sometime

4/5 wins with my mate last night.

Feels like terrans HAVE to go MMM. Not many other options...

Nice, maybe after everyone has played through the campaign, we can do some scrims and stuff

Copypasta'd from hfswjyr:4/5 wins with my mate last night.

They have awesome air. Banshees and Vikings have both been fucking up my shit lately.
And I have yet to beat someone who has successfully gotten battlecruisers. My own fault for letting them.

from what my few games of experience have led me to believe, protoss are the most overall overpowered race but not by much. reasons:

chronoboost on any building from your nexus(es) is TOO EPIC, #2 chronoboost works on upgrades.... #3 warping in structures gives you the most ressources by far in the beginning, #3 their 1st tier units are the strongest of the game and are viable all game, as opposed to zerglings or marines (that are good but suck later on imo) even though i have always found Zerg to be the coolest race and i love the way the reproduce and make units etc, i find they are weak against protoss overall as a race (i havent studied that tech units that much but as far as early building construction, building speed and base defenses, i find protoss to be strongest with terran as a close second.

if the terran guy plays his cards right, there should be NO way for you to enter his base, if he sets up barricades with depots and has massive upgraded mariens behind the buildings with a few bunkers lying around to micro your marines into there base is impenetrable... still havent found a way around it especially on those maps with small ramp to enter.

worm in and wreck their shit

i tried the zealot kamikaze but they get focused 1 by 1 before they can even reach the barricade, then its too squishy in there so they cant even spread out to get the positioning and there is just a clump of zealots getting focused by mariens and siege tanks. i try to get a mix of zealots and stalkers and have found that terran are vulnerable to your dark templar. I would make like 2-3 DT and send them to the expansion, tear apart his SCVs and make a run for it, rinse repeat.

looking forward to good competitive gaming as this game will take priority on my gaming list and i plan on dedicating most of my free tiem to it.

If terran have walled off, its almost impossible to make a good entrance bust with protoss (unless they suck). You gotta find ways in besides their main entrance. Hitting the rocks at the back of the base is a good choice but it is map dependent. Stalkers can leap up cliffs, just make sure you have a flying unit so you can see the top of the cliff. Blink in and cause some havoc. By the time they react you should be able to blink out to safety or stay and do even larger amounts of damage. Then there are always Warpgates and Warpprisms. Warp some units into the back of their base and move on, if you have Dark Templar this is even more deadly. If you are trying to rush vs terran though, you are going to have very limited success with tier 1, especially one small entrance maps. Something like a Void Ray rush has a much higher chance of working. You can also choose to hit expansions instead.

:words:

holy shit, that was probably my first sc2 tactics post

BEHOLD

Use Phoenix to grav beam tanks to take the edge of Terran defenses.

hacker

wow i dint know stalkers had a blink ability...they just went from being one of my prefered units of protoss to my favorite units in protoss. also 1 thing i saw that looked like it tore through a whole lot of shit was the Mothership. Vortex looks so incredibly ownage and that ability to teleport all ur units somewhere is awesome too.

i still havent figured out how the unit warping works, i know protoss and zerg can both do it right?

Yeah stalkers own. They are a great staple unit.

You get the upgrade for warpgates at the cybernetics core. Once you have it you can upgrade your gatesways to warpgates for free. Warpgates teleport units to anywhere with a pylon field. Warpprisms can create a pylon field.

As protoss I keep getting mucked by mass marauders. DTs to counter?

Peanut, personally as a zerg player I find it easier playing against protoss.
Also about lings being useless, I actually find them very useful, to the point where I like massing them and surrounding the enemy with groups of them. If they get collosi I get corruptors, only way to counter this really is to get archons. Lings are useful against terran as well although not as much, they definitely need support like hydras or infestors.

Eternal don't get DTs, you'll just get obliterated by a single scan

Speedlots do very well against pure maruder, and in small groups a mix of stalkers and zealots do decently against them.

You can always just block your ramp with a sentry(s) anyway if he tries for a quick maruder rush.

confirmed, the games, they have been played

man i wanna play so bad but i know i'm gonna get owned hard cus i don't have time to play much...... i'll just sit here reading in envy.

me and eternal just did quite a few 2s as double protoss and we found a strategy that works pretty well. basically clog the ramp abit with buildings a few cannon/zealot while i straight tech to fast void rays and expand and he gets colossus with the most part of the ground forces. if we are too evenly matched for a full on attack i will harass his mineral line/expo with void rays until i cripple him entirely or force a conflict (half at his mineral line with eternal pushing the entrance) which worked fairly well for us.

Copypasta'd from TheMightyPeon:man i wanna play so bad but i know i'm gonna get owned hard cus i don't have time to play much

skill won't matter when we play our huge 8 player FFAs anyways, its all good fun
you don't need skill for 3v3 or 4v4 either, you just mass voidrays or mutas and go for the win

Got gold in the first protoss challenges. Owns.

If you are playing terran you are very lucky in the fact that there are some advance challenges that involve base defense and fending off early rushes.
I suggest everyone do at least to the basic challenge for whatever their race is, it won't take you long at all.

Just play campaign and customs then you noobs

user made maps are pretty crap so far from what i've played.

that economy challenge and the zerg infestors+roaches challenge are fucking hard.

I improved oodles in solo today. I brought myself to the near the top of my division with 4 wins in a row: countered some marauders with colossus, some voids with blink stalkers (thanks Ranks), and just overall got a feel of how Starcraft should be played.

Still need to learn 2v2 and 3v3, though.
