**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

Just played my first 4v4 and soo annoyed.

Advanced to cut off the enemy expansion and he told me no, did anyway and took out some pylons and a nexus plus half a dozen stalkers. Now at this point i really do feel that had the others followed me it would've been our game.

The all continued to buidl zealots and as we were playing against 4 protoss, i said they will prob go void rays and to build some anti air. Anyway they did and we lost. could've nutted the guy who called me an idiot for aggressively cutting off an expansion.

As it happens my mairne sthen saved him from void rays, hope the irony isn't lost on him.

Aaa I wondered why it messed up when watching it lol!

Yea was very good and very handy and made a lot of sense. I do the old queue unit things and suffer from not being able to build other things as quick.

Only recently I have stopped doing that. It helps your economy a lot not to do it.

It's amazing the amount of resources and strategy guides out there for this game when I compare it to 98 and the release of the original.

It's like f1 in the 60s vs f1 today :)
 
Can anyone give us some advice on how to handle this stupid tactic that Protoss players seem to have adopted over the last few days.

We are 2 Terran armies against 2 protoss. As soon as the game starts they are sending a Probe into our base, dropping a Pylon and then a Photon cannon at some point. It's so hard to counter attack this as by the time we have a Barracks up the Pylon and the Cannon are already built.

We struggle to chase the Probe as it's faster so we can't kill it.

Anyone got some advice in these situations?

Use 4/5 scvs to kill the pylon. Get marauders quick as you can. If you can do this you will be massively ahead economically.

Happened to me in a 1v1 game. This protoss tactic works well if the terran players don't protect thier entrance. However i turtled at the entrance and got some reapers. He left a gap in his cannon line so i wiped out his mineral line. Suffice it to say while all this was going on i quick-teched to seige tanks and blew his towers to hell.
 
not a bad start to multiplayer :)

After winning a practice game, then moving on to placement right away (god the pratice games seem slow on normal speed) I managed to win my first placement game without a problem.
Now 4 more to go! :D
 
I've just played my first few MP games.. Did two practice games and spanked the opponents easily, so tried the first placement game, spanked him as well and he started to fly all his buildings around the map! :mad:

I had to get a starport up to get some aircraft to chase them around.. Was annoying as hell!

haha. Last night some protoss spammed invisible units at me but I had a raven lurking so owned them all then rolled over his base. With the few drones that managed to escape he just spammed loads of pylons around the map. It took about 10 minutes to clean up...some people really are sore losers.
