My zerg is good enough to consistently match and beat masters I guess. I don't play very refined sometimes and I need to manage the pain in my wrists and hands to play well. Its something I struggle with, it can mean the difference between 140 apm and 280 apm. It all just depends how rested my hands are and my stamina. My zerg is alright its not where I want it to be though. I do enjoy playing zerg more then protoss or terran though. It's new and refreshing. I played terran for a year and a half and protoss for a year and a half. Its the time of zerg now they would say. I still play protoss but as of late I seem to be just making carriers. I've been winning PvT masters games with carriers and they seem pretty stable in PvZ. I won a masters PvP with carriers but it was hard as hell to win with it. I play for fun. I do weird builds while playing on the game pad, because its enjoyable for me. Zergs quite fun but sometimes I lose to silly things and my idra rage in me starts to awaken but I still enjoy it. Anyway this turned in some kind of weird rant. but w/e I'm more active on my twitter now if you guys wanna follow me on there and ask me questions : https://twitter.com/Sc2Cress/ Cress. | ||

User was warned for this post I just played marine challenge for about 15 minutes and got level 15. I remember getting level 20 or higher in the past but that was with me playing for like an hour or longer getting the perfect splits. I could stream a play through maybe later but don't wanna put a lot of time into it. Don't think its something a lot of people are interested in to watch for hours xD | ||

I over stressed my wrist playing these past couple of months, thats why I attempted it, felt the need to play sc2 for a few minutes. My wrist feels a bit crunchy and grindy. Maybe I should get it checked out or wait a few more days dunno. | ||

That's sad, but I still believe the controller is limiting because (most of) controller apm = button apm, while splitting requires cursor apm, because if the cursor speed is too slow you can't manage to handle splitting 3 mini-groups of at the same time. | ||

Trying to continually ban Akito with no results is tiring work. I could use the break too. Looking forward to you coming back though ^_^ | ||

I assume your talking about the cress carrier build? In PvT? Its difficult to get the vikings and marines out because you harass them once you have 4 carriers you siege the terrans 3rd/Natural or production, causing damage and problems for the terran. Even if the terran knowns your doing the build its still viable. They have to scan between 8-9 minutes in the right spot to see the carriers, before then, all they knew was that I had a star gate and was making oracles. | ||

This is probably true, I played terran at the beginning of WOL and people told me my race was over powered. So I switched to Protoss and then people told me my race was over powered, When I switched to zerg. My race was still over powered wtf? | ||

Blizzard could totally do a console version of the game using your layout. All they have to do is change the UI so that there is a graphical representation of button changes and functions whenever you press the left stick. By the way, that Blizzard email, how did it go? Reason I'm asking is that I have a lot of real world friends that are primarily PS3 players and don't play the PC very much. It would be great if they started playing SC2 as well. | ||

the 2 forge collossi into ht build for pvt, and probably some all ins for pvz. or skytoss macro. easy to do, and very effective. doing the same stuff but free styled is less efficient and causes you to lose games. | ||
