If you lose a Terran army it's like herp derp gg.  But don't listen to me. I'm just bad. In TvZ Terran can easily replace a shitton of marines on their 10 raxes  | ||

It doesn't matter if you lose half your army to 3 lurkers or if you have 2k because if you can land dships in his main nothing will go right for him. | ||

It actually works well once you learn the timing window against a Protoss that skips out on AoE (reaver / high templar) for more goon-heavy composition. Also, I think someone used bio to counter carriers in a televised match (marines to pick off interceptors) but it ended up failing lol. hiya vs violet bloody ridge except hiya won | ||

You can do everything right and be like 4 base hive to 2 base, then bam. Some bullshit drop, spawning pool/defiler den gone, he pushes out while you frantically try to defend your hive/hydra den, all your lings/mutas suicide, lurkers irradiated. Suddenly you have no army, can't build anything, forget you can't build anything, spam 5sz6sz7sz8sz and wonder why it's not working, panic, GG. *Shudder* | ||

To clarify on several points, my 4-1 score does include like 3 losses from a month or two ago, which definitely helped in terms of gamesense and whatnot. Also, when I say SC2 Masters Macro, I simply mean understanding the principle of keeping minerals low XD (or attempting to, holy fuck your money rises fast in BW). I will hopefully endeavour to keep at this over the next two weeks, while I'm away from any SC2 access (uni holidays). Playing Random for now, but dear god, with how hard BW is, I'm not sure I can keep it up >.<" THANK YOU ALL AGAIN, AND LONG LIVE BW XD Edit: Wait wtf, those 3 losses didn't help at all in terms of gamesense... It just helped me to realise that against some people I just have to hold on for dear life and pray I can make a comeback later on >.> Double Edit: And lol, now I have Chill comments in all 3 of my blog attempts ^^v | ||

The intensity of a BW game is 10x higher than SC2. And yea, as a former D+/C- P player I'm getting pwned at D level at the moment, going 5-6 yesterday. I've noticed my apm has gone up (from 140 to 180-200), but my eapm is still the same as before (95-100). I'm gonna have to give that training map a try. | ||

There's a *huge* range of skill at D. You've got those that are solid D, nearing D+, but are just missing that "something" to push them to the next rank, then you've got those who are at D purely because they just started playing on that account and are actually CPU level. | ||

TvT was my rock  | ||

Take these 5 stars. It's funny, you go back and play BW now and go "wow that was insanely hard", but then your old reflexes come back to you and you can cope once again. | ||

Damn it's good to see the next generation recognizing what a difficult and in-depth game BW was. Now if only we can get SC2 to a similar level! Also I agree there's NO WAY you can hit C+ as terran with sub100 apm. Impossible! | ||

If you lose a Terran army it's like herp derp gg. But don't listen to me. I'm just bad. Always felt like it was the opposite. 12 marines and 4 medics can kill just about anything, and they're dirt cheap to rebuild. I always had supreme confidence in my M'M armies. It's a pretty steep learning curve to figure out what will kill and won't kill a Terran army, and very unforgiving too. I'll admit that learning how to move out vs Protoss with a mech army is just as unforgiving tho. M'M was always fun because the ideal army was 24 marines 8 medics and a science vessel, and no matter what you're up against or how much you're hurting for economy, it's still a dangerous thing if you micro it correctly. Probably the reason 90% of people play Terran at all. | ||
