Against Banshees or Battlecruisers, as kar mentioned you can use feedback from your HTs to take out a large chunk of health, then finish them off with either storm, phoenixes or stalkers.

Storm's better saved for use against massed units like infantry imo, but can still be very effective against any units that are just bunched together.
 
I've got a replay from last night against a 1-2 base banshee massing Terran.

I'll post it when I get home.

But basically I had 3 bases to his 2 and that was enough in the end, and I don't think I built any phoenix just had 4-5 void rays and lots of storm and stalkers.
 
Someone talk me through improving my 4gate. I can get the gates up pretty well in reasonable time I feel, but not always sure where to progress.

Mmm well we would need to see some replays. Post a couple where you think you've done a good four gate (win or lose doesn't matter) and we can take a look.

The most common mistake (and even I make it sometimes), is building lots of gates and not enough units early on.
 
I've only had two games with it and lost both :p. I've enjoyed losing though! One was very close, we'd both sneaked pylons into each others base and warped in units, he just got there literally 2 seconds ahead of me. The other game, the guy had built literally ~50 Vikings, and raped anything and everything I had.

I try and build 4 gates asap, whilst chrono researching warp gate. Then start to churn out units whenever the cooldown is up.

Post the replays to those then, it'll be interesting to see. :)
 
Can add me as well if you fancy (Zamac.329), always up for some games when I'm online as I don't really like the ladder, currently in Bronze at the mo' :)

Is getting to diamond after 2 weeks, not playing SC1 or the beta at all, any good? I'm still low diamond, but getting better I hope.

thats pretty good! Unless your playing as Terran ^^ especially considering you didn't play any of the origional games or beta.

We'll have to have some games!

Its just a matter of time before Blizzard starts buffing Zerg.
The only problem is, Korean Zergs arent doing TOO badly at the moment.

Been playing the custom map Income Wars this morning, great time waster. Good way for new players to learn unit counters I imagine (and the Patrol command!). It's bascially a versus tower defense game. May need to turn your graphics settings down though, can have 450 units on screen quite regularly. All the single player units are in there, including the merc's and brutalisks etc.

Tried a couple of the DOTA games but they have a long way to go to achieving any semblance of balance.

Was going to try out the Risk ones but didn't have time.

Raelcun (awesome iCCup caster) brought up a good point about this. Zerg are obviously the hardest race to play and require the highest APM. Koreans generally have ridiculously high APM so they can probably use zerg to their full potential. But even so, the terrans on oGs over there are destroying everyone. Ensnare and TheStC are beating everyone in everything. Even Cool switched to terran, and he was easily the best zerg in the world.
 
Cheers for the games cHk4, sorry had to bolt, got a mate over who wants to play on the Xbox, will be up for more later on if you fancy it :)
