i have a semi thought out theory that's actually encouraging me to believe in something.

that's a big deal...

anyone know how to find published/established theories?
i'm sure i'm not the first person to think like this... or am i?

i been getting my *** kicked in starcraft II for the past couple of days

i only really ever played UMS and money maps in the original SC

so all this tactical LT maps and stuff in SC2 BETA is really throwing me off.

can somebody teach me how to play this god**** game better? lol

it's more like building timings

like this is an example of a build order in sc1 for protoss (does not transfer to sc2)

8 Pylon
10 Gateway
11 Assimilator
13 Cybernetics Core
15 Pylon
17 Dragoon, Goon Range when gas available
19 Pylon
20 Dragoon x2
26 Robotics Facility
keep pumping dragoons
30 Robotics Support Bay
31 Shuttle
37 Reaver
41 Nexus

A build order is a unit/building plan that you try to adhere to that gives you a general game plan. In this case it's a 2-gate aggresive goon build that moves into a fast reaver to pressure the opponent as you put up an expansion, generally a solid build vs. terran, etc.

but that's sc1

go look up some sc2 build orders and practice them (i dunno them either yet =D)

try to figure out what works, the only reasons these things exist in the first place is just because somebody sat down and figured out what worked and what didn't work

wtf? why is that build order so long?

what if i got rushed in the middle of all that building, and i had to change it or so?

wouldnt it be better NOT to memorize build orders and just "freestyle play" according to the situation?

this build order stuff looks alot like fake martial arts set-move techniques that they tell you which work in a real fight.. but doesnt

nah, the point of a build order is an ideal guideline. you memorize lots of them and then apply the proper ones based on what you see your opponent doing with your scout after pylon. that's a pretty standard 2gate goon build i posted, but it's a PvT build exclusively, you wouldn't use that same BO against zerg or against another protoss either

I signed up for the SC2 beta hella long ago and they finally emailed me a beta key. I'm sure I'll buy the game when it comes out anyway, but I'm lazy so it's nice that I don't have to bother preordering and that I can just download it now. I'll play some of you guys later this week once I've got it installed and have some free time.

bring your laptop over next time we smash (preferably like thursday or friday of this week, i guess thats today or tomorrow heh) and we'll squeeze a couple games in during the middle and you can show me some ropes. oh yeah, when do you wanna come smash? you can bring rj or adaias or whoever would be cool too, so we can get some teams in.

NICK, you should bring adaias.

I txted you a few days ago saying that I'd be able to come over today but as it turns out I'm pretty busy. I think the earliest I can hang out is next tuesday. Would you be free then adaias?

Wow, that fox got wrecked.

CalleW is one of my favorite players though. He really needs to fly over to the states one of these days and own everyone at a national tourney. Dat falco is sex

I should be free. I think I only have some english paper due the next day, but that is nothing. I have some tests too, but that too is small fry. I'm pretty much not available on a weekday if I have some history assignment to worry about

Edit: Also remind me to never play word games with Veronica ever again. I can't even keep up with her tech skill. Lets me know how bad my vocabulary is. I'm still priy gud at card games since no one else counts cards
