Below are some things i wanna know who made up this kind of stuff. Terran: Who made up the thing about going marines and medics against zerg? And who made up the building orders to tech? I heard boxer made most of these but... Protoss: Building order, fast expo strategy, sairs/reavers, teching against terran. Zerg: You all get the idea. And the awesome trick with overlords? If you all could help me out, that'd be great | ||

Didnt play vanilla SC? BroodWar was a very good add-on for vanilla SC - almost all race got what they wanted. So it was obvious what to use for expirienced vanilla players after a month of DT or lurk rushes. Terran - using m&m in TvZ - it was a natural solution for those who played vanilla SC. Because without stimpack terran forces were simply destroyed by zerg ground. But without medics stimpacking in wrong time was very dangerous. So Boxer didnt invented it.... Mech vs toss - i remember it in 99, (orky)Soul was experimenting it on me (no wall-in, bunker near CC) %) Dunno where did he get that idea Zerg - Overlord scouting or what? Scouting was obvious... Toss - its harder, but those days TOSSes had 2 points - vulnerable to muta and super mega haxor cool reavers. So - reavers were downgraded and corsairs were introduced in BW. Teching vs terran - simply dunno - think it happened when terran started to wall on LT. Fast expo - i used it in 99. As far as i remember some of the XDS members posted a strategy about it (maybe it was Grrr) | ||

MM+Tanks vs everything, when i first bought BW =) | ||

Like people said, most things was natural for experienced vanilla players. And walling with terran goes back to Warcraft II. Naturally I had a newbish startout with many bunkers into BC. But in a week or something a friend showed me replays and tought me hotkeys so ya tech in two matchups with every race was what I did.. tvp, tvt, zvz, zvt, pvt,pvt I teached always | ||

And i pointed out that main concepts of the game have borned before Korean progaming community established and started to rule everybody. | ||

And I made units in groups of 12. So I would have like 12 dragoons, and then I would make 12 carriers. Which to me was the ULTIMATE POSSIBLE ;; After BW came out I would read strats on starcraft.org and broodwar.com and generally would just do things like fast marine/tank drop with bunkers and I only played seriously right after 1.08 came out anyway. | ||

[B] Zerg: You all get the idea. And the awesome trick with overlords? If you all could help me out, that'd be great i meant as in with the mutalisks about the overlords. and actually, marine and medics wth tanks against toss is good if they only stick to goons and zealots, like anytime does. and im akamufu, and im 14 in america, i just live in america whats vanilla and why cant u talk about broodwar? | ||
