It's a nice article, though--I always enjoy reading first-hand accounts of SC2.

Despite this, the Zerglings still went down quickly. I see. Thanks for the article Shadowfury, it's always nice to see new content- gives us something to talk about. | ||

In the original Starcraft, this made units like Photon Cannons and Missile Turrets easy enough to knock down with nine to eleven mutalisks Photon Cannons don't deal explosive dmg, they deal normal ![]() Photon Cannons were explosive damage in Starcraft 1.00 and 1.01. As a side note, Zerg were brokenly good in that era, as hatcheries spit out larvae at 1.5x the rate and build times for almost everything were decreased. | ||

Anyhow most of this article is complete garb to me. I felt this is a write up from some person that haven't played sc1 in higher lvl than fighting vs comp AI... | ||

The StarCraft 2 section has knowledgeable people, but they can be counted on two hands, and they are pretty much all on staff. | ||

Have you watched games/read feedback from people who've actually played at Blizzcon? 1 Hatch Zerg is EXTREMELY powerful apparently, with no direct counters. | ||

Z can just make so many lings early that 2 rax wont be able to move out. | ||
