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

Kreee (or any other T players) what are you doing in TvT these days? Any sort of banshee opener or gas before rax seems garbage now, scans kill a WM opener. 12 rax 13 gas reaper expand perhaps?

I'm thinking a WM or 2 to shut down drops is a good idea, but beyond that I'm veering towards the old MMM into bio tank, which is a bit dull since it's all I've been doing for 3 years.
 
I open 1rax reaper, only 1 reaper then get reactor/expo and push with marine tank. Or 11rax 11gas 11rax and mass some reapers while expanding behind it. It's a bit cheesy it but the reapers alone have won me about 6 games.

Can't seem to win tvz though, but beat 3 masters last night :P

On smaller maps I do...

13gas (2nd gas after 2nd marine finishes then reactor)> Hellion drop > Marines, 2 tanks, 1 raven attack while expanding > 2 extra rax and stim > 3rd CC or 2 extra rax.

Bigger maps I do a 12rax,12gas reaper into expand and then Marine/Mine and a quick third.
 
Any good protosses here with tips on what I should be doing to beat mid/late game zerg? I find very good zergs almost impossible to beat. Finding air harass is easily countered with queens and spores, so if you don't to that initial high damage to drones they just run away with their eco as you can't touch them afterwards.

Mid/late game would all depend on what the Zerg is doing so it's probably better to ask a question on more specific scenarios.
 
Started playing again. Did placement matches, won the first two, went up against the same guy who left two games in a row and then got probe rushed by a masters league player.

Got placed into platinum. Now I've lost 5 games in a row. Rather annoyed to be honest, ladder system at it's finest. I was low silver in WoL :(

Not sure if I can be bothered to lose enough games so I get placed back into gold or whatever.

I'd say Collosi/Stalker with some VRs thrown in and move up inbetween waves of Locusts. You really need AoE with locusts in high numbers.


Those Swarm Hosts are a pain, it's hard to deal with 15+ as Terran when playing Mech as you have to keep re-seiging >.<

Innovation is certainly one to watch for probable top 8 I would have thought.

I've finally done my placement matches and placed Gold which I'm pretty happy with, however I'm a tad worried that I'm going to get destroyed, lol. Having said that, judging by the change in percentages for the different leagues, I was top 8 Silver so is probably about the same.
 
Those were some good games today, Flash so good. As tastosis said, hope we see a flash vs life matchup at some point in this season.

Also, what's up with the OCUK chat on bnet? I've been on most evenings this week and it's beyond dead - I haven't seen anyone else in there once. Maybe open it up and make it an open channel/group?
