How many people who you meet are previously BW players? How many are TL (or GGnet, SC2GG, etc.) members? How many are WC3 players? | ||

I've met alot of SC players actually but only a few well known names. I just recently beat Sonic TvP. Was exhilarating. ^^ I met a few TL, GG, and no SC2GG. And once again, alot of WC3 players. I tend to find that the SC players play more Econ type builds and the WC3 players play more aggressive builds/all-in'ish. Eiii: I just uploaded a really cool VOD of me going Mech on Lost Temple vs a Protoss that expanded. Really good game. I'll post the link here as soon as the VOD clears through the server. http://www.justin.tv/clip/ef199089edc7fbdd | ||

How do Thors play out in the matches? as in, under what circumstances would you get thors in whichever matchup? Are they a 'situational unit' or are they a "must have" in mid to late game, like maybe defilers v Terran? How do you find the new macro mechanics? Thx <3 | ||

Most of those competitive players get paid more than most Foreign SC1 players. Not to mention how much hype SC2 is getting. I can easily see WC3 and SC1 outside of Korea taking huge competitive nosedives because the press/sponsors/events will eat the hype of SC2 from Blizzard and support only that. | ||

Not so much vZ just because most of their units are faster then your reapers and can easily overtake them. Unprepared T's and P's will lose entire mineral lines in seconds and their CC/Nex if you micro well enough. Thor's are retarded at the moment. They serve no purpose. I don't know how better players feel about the MBS and all that but I'm glad it's in. Every single unit in SC2 has an ability you need to babysit to make sure you win battles not to mention you have to focus fire alot more in this game then in SC1. (think WC3) so it's nice to just hit 1 hotkey to build what you need while not taking your eye off the battle. | ||

I'm playing Random atm but I'm really loving Terran. So as an average SC1 player I'm doing ok in SC2. Ask me anything. does eg.inka get angry often? he was the first bad manner player ive played in sc2, he didnt even type GG just called me a newb who all-in'd when it wasnt an all-in at all. + Show Spoiler [my thoughts on the game] + a couple zealots, immortals, stalkers vs mass lings tried to secure an expo as if id let him take it. and yes i actually make zerglings for both defense till i get to mutas (unless toss opens zealot heavy build which case i go roach, then later back-tech to lings) and for offense/counterattacks if possible, which it was. your friend is really close-minded, tell him to remember this is a new game and mass zerglings vs protoss doesnt mean all-in anymore. He seems to think if a player doesn't do what he thinks is the right way to play, he's going all-in, or hes a newb, etc etc. | ||

I really like Kulas Ravine and Lost Temple as Terran. I float expos up to islands and most players don't realize that I'm turtling off two bases until I roll out with a huge army. I feel Desert Oasis really favors Zerg in terms of scouting and Terran in terms of harassing. (Fuck Reapers! I can only win 1/3 games vs them on that map) Maps with a small choke into the Nat like LT or Steppes of War favors Zerg since they can easily expand and play defensive. Counter to Banelings would be Storm or Air units. You don't see them that much actually, David Kim was just messing around because of his huge lead and that's the result we saw. | ||
