Let's lose all our 2v2 placement matches so I can **** Bronze players and you can learn how to play <3

 

[g-regulate]

learning builds isnt as beneficial to a newer player as is executing it well. keep making SCVs, keep tabs on supply, spend that early gas accordingly, react from scouting your opponent. so many variables to practice! i wouldnt fux with more exotic builds before you can really get used to a "bread and butter" build, if you will.

i approve of a 1v1 smashboards SC2 tournament!

 

[_Yes!_]

Essentially what greg's saying is go marine/marauder/medivac.

 

[g-regulate]

yea getting a bunch of rines/rauders/medvacs with maybe 1-2 tanks chilin at your base is a good basic terran build, however you wanna do it.

 

[_Yes!_]

i'm down for a 1v1 tourney rofl but it'd have to be like at night or this weekend. I got exams coming up soon.

ok, this is decent. 500+ HP to Nexus. slowing down Void Rays.

TERRAN

250mm Strike Cannons is now cooldown-based on a 50-second cooldown. Ability starts with cooldown available (useable immediately after upgrade is researched).

Barracks requirement to Supply Depot is legit.
Supply Depot life increasing is legit.
Medivac speed decreasing. Meh. Okay.
Reaper needing a Factory Requirement for an upgrade is LAME. But better than Reaper's needing a Factory before coming out.
Huh @ energy bar being removed? Idk much about Thor.

Obv Terran got hit hard with nerfs.

ZERG
Buildings
Hatchery life increased from 1250 to 1500.
Lair life increased from 1800 to 2000.

Roach
Range increased from 3 to 4.

Life+ on buildings.
Fungal Growth preventing Blink is legit.
Roach Range increasing from 3 to 4 is goooood. I think it helps them outreach a few specific units.

 

[Kenrawr]

hmmm thats not really a big increase for roaches

well it's pretty significant I think. like rines have 5 range and 4 range vs 5 sounds a helluva lot better than 3 vs 5 lol.

when I get back from MLG I'm just going to take a few days and 1v1 nonstop ><

 

[g-regulate]

thors used to take 75 energy to use cannons, but now theres no energy and will just be a free move, with lots of cooldown

 

[_Yes!_]

It's a buff for thors. The upgrade was useless and Thors would just get ***** by feedback.

I wonder how they're gonna buff zerg next...

 

[Allied]

Yes! i added you

whats the best 3v3 Terran strat

what should i be generally doing?

Thanks in advance. :3

btw i won my first 3v3 match my 2nd match i got lagged out i hope it doesnt count against me .__.

 

[Lobos]

allied did you post your email on here? lol must of missed it post again so I can add you to the op

 

[Allied]

i didn't actually

hancedr@yahoo.com

thanks!

 

[M@v]

Big thing in ZvT with the roaches is that hellions cant kite them anymore. Thats pretty huge.

Also, Thor buff <3

 

[_Yes!_]

Nerf the Reaper, man.

 

[Laijin]

In normal conversation, I would appreciate it if you guys said "Starcraft 2" instead of "SC2" because that makes me think of "Soul Calibur 2" instead.

Thanks.

 

[_Yes!_]

I miss being able to reaper rush Knightmare and proxy with Maxi...

 

[rhan]

SCII.

I win this argument.

 

[Lobos]

Well now that MLG DC is over alot of us are going back to sc2 again.....after watching the pros at mlg I feel like a little girl in this game lol

250-300 apm really? I need to learn the rest of this keyboard lol

 

[Thunderhorse+]

I've seen some people with up to 500 APM max.

But they were mad Korean. Like they took that Korean **** too seriously.

 

[Laijin]

How korean can you get if your already korean?

 

[_Yes!_]

So idk how to fight zerg as terran. They always seem to have map control with speedlings and mutas

 

[Oh.]

LOL

google sc2

 

[M@v]

So idk how to fight zerg as terran. They always seem to have map control with speedlings and mutas

Mech build Wrecks ling muta.

Start off with hellions. Learn how to micro them. If you know what your doing you can take 25 zerglings with just 4 hellions. Then harass his mineral lines and gain map control. If you contain the zerg, you usually win.

Watch TheLittleOne(TLO). He has godly hellion micro. Thors take care of mutas.

Magic box helps mutas vs thors, but if you have an equal amoutn of thors compared to his mutas cost wise, youll still win. Also, if your engaging mutas with thors, dont bunch up your thors; itll make it that much harder for the mutas to magic box you.


PS I'm going to play protoss a lot more. I dont know if I'm "maining" them per-say, but I had a lot of success with them tonight.

 

[g-regulate]
