Ever heard of the defiler? Now that unit was insane

I don't like comparisons between BW and SC2.

Not to mention that to counter it as P you had to build unit nobody ever built /sarcasm (yes, i am aware Dark Archons were being introduced closer to the end of BW).

Damn you zerg for going 3 hatch before pool, i'm still trying to make 3CC before rax viable as terran

I actually do that sometimes vs a friend of mine.


Haha, well my results on the ladder are not really good enough that it is worth trying, Protoss really loves DTs and oracles.
And SCVs cant shoot up or detect invisible stuff :p

Though i actually won vs a Z sometimes


it's not even worth it against Zerg I think because you delay Mules and tech too much. I think CC first, then one rax and then third CC would be better


Well last time i laddered i was somewhere between Plat and Diamond, so whats best is actually not my biggest concern
I like doing crazy stuff, plus if that 3rd CC is hidden... well not many people are good at scouting xD


ah cool. It's nice to know that some people are still there that don't take a super serious approach to laddering. I noticed that SC2 has made me somewhat of a try-hard


I dont really ladder a lot tbh, so when i do i just mess a little bit arround. Not really crazy stuff like 1 base BCcccccccc, but i'm not trying to do super refined builds.

I still play marine/tank TvZ most of the time just because tanks are awesome TT

pro strat: lift into the inbase natural on nimbus and confuse your oponent
a good follow up is two port banshee


Can be dangerous though, sometimes enemies leave the game when i float (to the gold on habitation for example) thinking it was a mistake they got this game xD
And then i get my strat denied :/

This was a beautiful game by Zest. At the very end he made a few bad choices with his army comp and decided to stay in the middle of the map. He more than likely did not count on vipers as he only warped in 1 HT. It happens but that is most certainly heart-breaking for him. The game was so in his favor it was kind of depressing to watch.

Of course, you're allowed to think otherwise if you'd like! :D

Vipers are super binary, they either destroy you or just die to feedback. Basically, if zerg gets ahead early and gets maxed on roach/hydra with a few vipers before toss can get both HT and colossus, the game ends instantly, if you cannot protect your big AOE units from abduct, you're dead.

Blinding cloud is more interesting because it can be worked around and forces the opponent to make really hard decisions very quickly.

Vipers are still difficult to use, and often they do nothing in a game. So it's not "OP". But yes their spells can be really strong

Feedback was more certain counter to defiler. And maelstrom (or whatever it was) much more certain counter to ultra-ling for storms to do work. But yeah, storm counters everything.

Well, when Innovation(or some other Terran) loses the game, you usually get depressed, get heartattack, stop posting or just get banned. :D

Kyo- was posting minutes ago how Zest is amazing and how it is just a matter of time before Rogue ggs and he is nowhere to be seen now. I don't blame him though, it looked pretty over for Rogue and I would also be pissed if my favorite player made a bunch of mistakes and lose the game that he had in the bag.

Yeh. Though Blinding Cloud is a bit dumb vs Siege Tanks, it's fine vs everything else as they can micro out of it.
Abduct on the other hand is such a dumb spell.

Kind of, except that with vipers you know it's over before the fight even begins. You can't stop the maxed zerg roach/hydra with the supply you have at that time without colossus, and your colossi are guaranteed to die immediately. The fight is basically a death animation.

Vortex was still a gamble all the way up until it was cast, then once you knew how many broods vs archons went in it, you knew who would win.

It's not a great concept, but zerg could never beat skytoss or skyterran without it.
