I'm asking this here because the Brood War thread doesn't have a general discussion, but there was a thread talking about the various records held in Starcraft: Brood War competition, and I was wondering if you all can give me a link to it.

These were some of the records:

Most kills by a single unit: (it was reaver)
Highest ELO rating
Longest time at #1 ELO rating
Longest time at #1 Protoss ELO rating
Longest time at #1 Terran ELO rating
Longest time at #1 Zerg ELO rating
Longest consecutive streak at #1 ELO rating.

Can someone please help me on this?

Psilo

So it is super bowl time, and I was curious, what would be considered the super bowl of Starcraft 2?

I guess something like what Blizzard is planning to put together - the 2012 Battle.net World Championship?

GSL doesn't really do it for me as a Super Bowl because it happens so often.

I started sc2 first time ever yesterday so yes, I'm horrible. I got placed into bronze league @ ~69. I lost my first 5 matches, and then won my next 4 in a row6. My question is, while I'm on the bottom of the entire ladder system, is there any negative affects to losing a ton of matches? I mean, will I ever bury myself in a hole of terrible MMR that will be near-impossible to come out of? I like to practice in real games since I feel it will help me in the long run.

No, the system will always match you with people you 'should' beat 50% of the time. If there's no-one online that fits those parameters you will be given a harder opponent but be given more points for beating them. Just have fun and remember even when you get to higher leagues, ladder rank means nothing.

Hey, thanks for answering me. I was curious why this popular sentiment exists that ladder rank means nothing. I gather people say this because of the multiple divisions that rank 5 in league A doesn't mean rank 10 in league B is worse? If this is the case, how do 3rd party trackers distinguish among the top players for each region? Sure there's following for the grand masters, but what about the rest of us that reside @gold-diamond range?

How much range do you expect a 100 damage splash attack to receive?

Here's a fun TvZ trick.

Cloak a Banshee, and cast 2 Seeker missiles on it. Fly said cloaked Banshee into the center of a flock of Mutas, laugh while they all blow up without him receiving an "under attack" warning until it's all over.

working up from silver people tended to rage when they lost, which I get - and its hard to feel offended when you have just beaten them... but now I have started playing diamond I have had a spat of abuse from like 1 in 5 players, and worst of all its always when they beat me. Its sick that people feel the need to insult and attack people when they feel happy about winning.

its just sad because keeping positive is so important when laddering that I am gonna have to consider turning of all chat - which sucks cos i have met some great people (although unfourtunutly a minority).

obviously there is nothing to be done, but damn its happened so regulary in the last couple of weeks I needed to vent.

I am 26, married and I am getting bullied my some 14 year old kids on a computer game - and worst of all - it actually gets to me! :p
