So another bright sunny day and only so little time with the ladder. As we all probably know phase 1 is coming to an end. So Myself at least woke up and got ready for some Sc-2 ladder games.

As the ladder games started to get rolling I found myself rather amused by a trend that have started. Everyone or at least my opponents for the day seem to take it more relaxed. Not going for super timing pushes and making my day of starcraft 2 less hectic and enjoyable.

One of the games that comes to mind is ZvT on Metalopolis. Spawning Opposite sides of the map

Oh yeah, forgott to mention, ULTRABANELINGSPEEDLINGBALLOFDOOM - aka 1A click WIN!

[image loading]
Yeah, you better run! WOOHOOOO.


Only real good part about this game in general is that I get to use the Ultralisk, and man are those Ultras fun. Cleaving and just being a big block of pure awesomeness on the battlefield.

In my opinion the ultras seem useable nowadays, been using them for a couple of games today. And only with 1-1 or 1-2 upgrades they do farily well if they are complimented by lings/banelings. So ty for the buffs blizz!

yea, ultras are fun.. but you really need like 4 base gas and upgrades and a 200.200 roach hydra army. then contain the terran and THEN if they push out crush it but reinforce with ultras. use burrowed roaches to slow any tank movement. also make sure to have overseer in case of silly cloacked banshee desperation.

so far I've only mad hydras if they've gone full mech, and seemingly since the nerf to tanks no one wanna go that anymore, all seem to favor the BioBall rather now or tank/rines

EDIT:this dude in the game went thors/rines, with medics which I havent seen in a while ^^

Hooray!
Ultras!
unfortunately... I just find them plain not viable most of the time...
They should be buffed so that they can reflect what they are in SC1
