I play zerg and I just want to make drones as long as I can without dying, so either you FE and stay in the economic race or you do some 3 gate expand or other aggression builds. Don't do all-ins too =D | ||

Well, I don't play Terran, but I think a good way to practice, is to have a large group of marines, move them all in one direction, and make very quick and thin rectangular boxes on the outside of the group on either the sides or the top of bottom. Then move the few guys you grabbed then take another slice adn rinse and repeat. If you're having problems with accuracy, just create a game against a super eary computer and do it over and over again. | ||

I'm getting really sick and disheartened by the standards of gameplay that most SC2 players expect from the game. Games that don't go to 3+ bases and last 40 minutes are all seen as garbage, players who excel in the early game are hated on because "they can't play a macro game", maps are being made excessively large to force the first 15 minutes of every game to be essentially irrelevant, and creativity in everything but unit composition is balked at, with people having a standard way they believe every matchup should be played, with perhaps 3-4 build variations for each matchup that are "acceptable", doing anything different is instantly seen as "putting yourself behind in the macro game" which is the only thing that people consider skillful. I play Z, and it's incredibly frustrating sometimes seeing the ease of which the other 2 races can accomplish things that Z must work very hard for, but I don't think Z is unbalanced, I think people just refuse to be creative, they macro, and the other player macros, then they lose to the other player because Z armies are intrinsically weaker by design than T or P, and lack large threat single units like collosus. IdrA for example, is seen as a hero by most Zergs, yet is the most unimaginative and boring Zerg player, and consequently has the most to complain about, he plays SC2 Z like they're BW Z, his unit comp is very telling of this. It's starting to get frustrating that people expect the game to simplify to a small set of "the right builds", and have every game be 3+ base macro games on gigantic maps, because that's fun. I think the best thing about Starcraft, as opposed to other RTS games, is that there is threat all throughout the game, there is early game, midgame, and lategame, and all play differently, and that's cool. Most players just want to eliminate early game and midgame and only play the lategame, which is a waste of most of the fun of the game. The thing about this that makes it so unbelievable is that the biggest hero of lower skilled players, Day9, constantly refuses to talk about imbalance and is always looking for innovation in the game, in BW, people said that the APM barrier to entry meant that mechanics were rewarded above creativity by a significant factor, but now this barrier has been lowered/removed, the players all just want everyone to play Standard Games. :/ | ||

I'm not sure this to be a great idea. It hurt pretty badly the late game for toss, not that it weak right now, it is really strong. However it make our main choice do deal with mass mmm or just mass hydra really hard to deal with if you don't want to get colo, who can be really ez countered by viking. Yes storm will still be in the game, but it will be kind of a buff to EMP because if you got you're army emp'ed this will remove your storm for a while. I rather see maybe a nerf for the amount given or the cost/ time research I also saw the question on Sheth's stream but didn't watch Minigun's. Maybe I missed part of the question, but I interpreted it quite differently than you. I thought he was implying that the storm wouldnt need to be upgraded to have, not that it's function or use would be changing/removed. But like I said, maybe I missed part of the conversation (I only remember the first question, Kiwi saying that'd be good, and then somehow they got on DTs.) | ||

Why are there technical problems in the gsl so frequently? I personally have never seen anyone drop out of a game, or dropped out myself. (played more than 500 games) | ||
