Trying to find a specific match, youtube links/commentary would be ace! Can only remember the following details: * Zerg expanded to both 2nd and macro hatch next to destructible rocks, confusing commentators * Zerg spawned top left, Protoss bottom right * Was a lush green map, rocks on gold * Was from around the Dreamhack/Bliz Invitationals time last year. * Zerg didn't abuse his early/mid game advantage and Protoss ended up winning. * It was possibly Naniwa, really unsure. | ||

I have trouble beating the computer on whatever the highest difficulty is allowed on the trial edition. I really want to be good at SC2 and want to play the full game but see no point if i suck so bad. any tips? i would like to stick with terran. Given the highest difficulty in the trial edition is "Insane" then you should know that the AI is cheating at this level. It gets additional income and has vision of the whole map. The only way to beat it is by either rushing it (cannon rush, 6pool, reaper rush) or by abusing the AI with consistent harass which keeps the AI pulling back his army to deflect the harass and thereby allowing you to macro up. The latter way is a lot harder to pull off. In any case you shouldnt consider the AI too much of a good training, its best to just hop into 1v1s and learn the game that way. | ||

With proper positioning, it is a dumb idea to attack it head on. It is probably one of th most cost-efficient unit compositions out there when in proper positioning. So, if you can't attack it head on, you have to either split up your forces and attack different areas at the same time, in order to either split up their army or to abuse to immobility of mech. Either do this until you have an opening where you can either: - Attack his army straight up - Attack chunks of his army in order to tear down his forces a small piece of a time - Go for a base trade To abuse mech's mobility, either use overlord drops or nydus canals, or even just circumvent his mech ball and attack an expo or something The units you want to use is usually roaches, and if he is skipping hellions, lings. Upgrades are important. If he has a reduced viking count (i.e., he has around no vikings) a broodlord transition can do a lot of damaged IF he is unprepared (i.e. no vikings or no vikings in production). Ultras can be useful if he has few thors. Mech is usually focused around doing one massive attack with a strong and slow army. So base trade in this situation is a good idea. Also, when base trading, escape with your drones and build expos all over the map so he cannot kill all your buildings.

I have a slight problem with the game UI. Couldn't they make the mineral, gas and supply icons at the top right of the screen unclickable ? Sometimes when I want to box quickly, I end up clicking on it and it prevents the selection. Does it happen to anyone else? They did so with the menu items and the control groups, I think they could do it for those little icons. | ||

Keep losing to it. =( Well if your opponent isn't very vigilant you could use Infested Terran bombs to wear down/break Tank lines. The rest of the units are pretty bad against Roaches or Lings. If he is GM and watching his army eagle-eyed and can spot the telltale sign of a burrowed moving Infestor or makes Turrets/Raven, then I have no idea and you are facing a gigantic uphill battle to win. (A huge Corruptor/Broodlord/Infestor/Crackling army can do it, turn some Drones into Spines to slow down pushes and free up supply for army) On February 19 2012 20:42 Faust852 wrote: Is the "iron squid" tourney boycotted by TL or what ? this is one of the biggest line-up of all the SC2 history and it's still not featured. WHY ? The lineup is pretty sick indeed. That said the finals are in May and there isn't even a schedule for the group games. But yeah I'd like more coverage from the TL Team, there should be at least some entertaining games in the qualifiers? | ||

Well, he did play SC2 and WC3 both on half-time during summer/autumn when he played in the GSTL with WeMadeFox. After their disbandment, I think he started to focus more on WC3 up until WCG11, where he was beaten in pool play iirc. Anyway, he had some kind of earyl exit. Lyn took the championship against Sky though, the Chinese legend (more or less). Now, he has been recruited by fnatic to play SC2 full time if I've understood it correctly. He's playing next week in Assembly, in group C against ReaL, Brat_OK and Cloud. | ||

They announced that they would finish the leagues they entered as a team, so prob the prize money will be split, but I do not think they said how they would split the money | ||

Keep losing to it. =( I dont know but from some of the GSL matchs it seems pure air like a ton of corrupters and broods (no muta in the final comp) and a few infestors (to fungal vikings) with heavy air upgrades double spire style casue it looks sooo freaken hard to beat when u lack ghost-snipe and your vikings cant match the zerg air upgrades (Terran upgrades going to ground mech) and the tank Thor takes up so much supply But i think the hardest thing vs that tank thor and viking style is probaby getting to the point where u can get all the things u want, cause when i play i dont find the time to get it T_T but if u figure u can hold out and are just finding what compostion u should go i strongly suggest full air but i'm no pro (just a fellow player that loves sc) but at least give it a try | ||
