Matchmaking is so weird.There are days that I win like 4 games and lose 8 and today I won all 7 games I played!

Right now I am 7th in my ladder,I hope I won't be promoted to Diamond soon as I have a lot of things to improve.

Such an addictive game,I love Blizzard!

I lost like 7 straight.

Most of those were my own fault though

Just moved SC2 to my ssd, had to clear a bit of room but boy it loads fast .

What's the point? You still have to wait for the other muppets to load the game.

Well I'm working through the SP achievements. On which note, I'm just not getting credit for anything at present. Really beginning to **** me off.

start playing the iCCup maps lads, extremely good, balanced maps made by the legends that made the BW maps (python, etc.) some of them are remakes of old maps, which is awesome for nostalgic folks

Is there a beginners guide to Zerg out there?

SC1 Macro/Micro/Builds is only getting me so far.

Nick08 · 30 Sep 2010 at 23:41

Loving the game but it can get so stressful. I keep losing to early agression from Terran. Just had a game where he pushed early with MM + concussive shell. I hold it off by the skin of my teeth but have to lose about 5 probes in the end. 5 minutes later and he just ****s all over me with stim + a tank or two outside my base followed bya good old "LOL OWNED" >.<

Next game, similar situation but i mess the forcefield up and he just walks in to my base and slowly kills me

soo annoying! especially when you know it was all your fault

Search on YouTube for psystarcraft,he is a very good zerg player casting his own games and explaining his builds etc.

I wonder are there any Terran players that do something similar to Psy?Streaming/commentating on their own games?

No thanks, a text based beginners guide would be far more efficient. I don't get much time to play and I play with friends when I get the chance.

Can't view youtube, the Mayfair hotel has crap internet.

Been playing tons of 3v3 and 4v4 recently and loving it. With mates and having voice comms is such an improvement and makes games so much better. Although i have just done the placement matches in 3v3 random and got into platimum rank 24 after winning 3 losing 2 :confused:

kar · 1 Oct 2010 at 10:19

I really don't get on with the 3v3/4v4s. I loved them in SC1, it feels like stuff dies just waaaay to quickly in SC2 and when you get 8 players battles are over before you blink.

The terrible terrible damage in sc2, is a bit too terrible

Fair enough, dude..

I've never really been one for guides, im a bit of a trial and error guy.. normally error ^^

To be fair, after having a search through, theres not many written guides for anything. It seems that its all Replays, Videos, Streams these days. Oh how things have moved on from 98

The only stuff i can find is very basic

It may be worth scouring TL, think your net should be okay with that. If not, when im at home ill have a butchers for you (TL blocked at work).

Is there anything specific your after?

My only disagreement with team games now is half of the maps are sharred bases, which is totally totally lame.

This seemed quite a good resource site

Although I also would prefer documentation over video's - Day 9's video blogs are very well done
