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

Yeah the blink trick is easy. All you're doing is telling the stalkers to move, blink, then carry on moving. Queuing everything up with shift. Hard to explain but Krono did a good job of it. It's easier to just try it. It won't work unless you have your stalkers away from the blinking point though, they have to move towards the blinking point so they walk, blink, then carry on walking.
 
Am i the only person that is filled with murdeous rage over this game?

I just had a TvZ where I opened with rax + reactor, zerg FE so followed up with rax + TL. researched the shield for the marines all the while pumping out marines. As soon as it was ready made a push and just got devastated by speedinglings. I just about killed them all, started killing just drones at FE in time for second speedling wave.

Rex all the time pumping out rines with weps and armour lvl 1. Attack and just get wiped off the face of the planet by hydralisks. I dont understand what on earth I could have done to win.

Think I might just return to BF BC2 where I don't feel like I have been cheated out of pretty much every game i play

mass Healions + flame upgrade would have kicked arse.

Medivacs would have make your marines more durable. Stim is an absolute must for Terran
Muraders are not great against lingz but they are tough as hell and can take a tonne of damage whilst your marines go to work..

Your doing it wrong mate,

a counter for lings isn't pure marines.
the counter for lings is Hellions. and/or Marines behind a single line wall of marauders.

Hydralisks get ripped to peaces on their own vs marines/marauder.. especially with +1. they need roach/infestor support to actually deal any damage and survive. I'd like to see the replay, because in most cases Terran > Zerg.
Also, medivacs are your friend!

One other point, just spamming marines and rallying them to the fight won't work.

Marines do actually become a hard counter to lings once they are in a huge critical mass, I haven't worked out the numbers yet. But there comes a point where the lings just cant touch the marines due to the amount of bullets flying through the air.

That being said, if you have that many marines you are going to be susceptible to other forms of attack (mass roaches, investors banelings, muta harras, ULTRAS)

theres nothing more exciting than when Terran goes mass marines.. baneling go boom! :D
 
Had quite a good game with krono (manlove!), chaotic and mattyj1085 yesterday. I tried to use stalker blink with waypoint on either krono or chaotic and it failed miserably, instead they all got butchered by hydras. Stupid Overseer detecting my dark templars, should have gone on an overlord/overseer hunting mission.

Will have another game tonight, might try some different tactics. - Like trying not to get raped by speedlings at the start (cheers for that!)

No problems :)

It was a fun game, would have been nice to have some more of them, rather than just the one.
 
that was cause you had very little left ;) , plus i had a headhache lol . i need more practice on getting things built faster and get resources faster , it seems a little slow tbh
 
I finally got around to doing my random 2v2 placement games last night, was a lot of fun even if people's skill level varied widely. Although 2v2 seems to be less evolved than 1v1, most games were either all in rushes early or mass air.

Quite funny when my protoss teammate walled himself in then got attacked by voidrays and I was going for marine/tank early on. Bit difficult to help :). We still won in the end though, opponents didn't expand/macro enough when they had massive advantage.

Can't wait for 3v3 and 4v4 (and hopefully 2v2v2v2) should be great fun after playing the more 'serious business' 1v1s :)
 
I had a big sad face, when I sent my broodlords in to take out the island expansion last night, and you lot quit.

I had litterally spent the last 5 min building up my Broodlord force. I kind of forgot about my macro for a while, and forgot I need 6 extractors to build BLs, I may have had about 4, I also mined out at a base. Once I double expanded I was good to go, and as soon as you saw them come over the horizon, The victory window popped up :(

ha ha. chaotic had already left by then, i dont have much clue with terran and was left with some banshees - the things that can cloak and a few marines and siege tanks. I had a bit of fun with the banshees then the siege tanks then watched your broodlords start on the island and called it a night

Yeah, but I wanted the satisfaction of taking out all of those pesky tanks and banshees. All I got was 3 turrets and a few SCVs Fairly poor value for money considering I had about 20-30 corruptors and about 10 broodlords

3 miners per gas, 3 miners per mineral block.
scout a lot
build fast
never run out of supply (depot, overlord, pylon)
expand to other mineral fields/gas when possible
protect your expansions
if you max supply out, spend money on something like upgrades
try to learn all the races - this will help you know how to counter things
have overseer, observers and radar scan at the ready for cloaked units
 
anybody else get an email from game saying the release has been delayed till the 30th of july ? , seems odd to delay it just 3 days when blizz stated the 27th
