shit i've played sc2 all weekend pretty much non stop, sad to see it's over.. I don't think I'll be able to do that again for a while. Had a blast, thanks for everyone that played with me. I feel kinda good being rank #1 in my gold league with a record of like 53-31 (all played this weekend)
Feel like I've got a pretty good handle on the game now. Team games are fun as hell , next time I'm going to go on a team game rampage.
Definitely in love with this game. I can already see this becoming my hobby for the next 5-10 years.

what race is everyone sporting

toss

started zerg now i'm all about random

i do zerg/protoss mostly.

bleh, i jumped right in and lost a hundred 1v1's right off and now i'm in copper and having to noob bash my way out of it :\

im playing zerg but thinking of switching to either toss or terran. I sometimes get lots in zerg macro mechanics.

Ya i mentioned that earlier to foonat.

ash what's your hardest matchup?

i'm playing toss on euro at the top of plat and i get raped so badly vs zerg whereas i'm like 75% vs the other 2 or something

terran recently have gotten alot better, expanding with planetary fortresses as they just make marines dropships ghosts and vikings... the thing is they just keep expanding while pumping cheap units constantly, and its hard to keep expansions in check with planetary fortress so even though i kill hundreds of marines they just keep making more and its hard to keep up with the production. i realize if I used feedback well I can neutralize the ghosts but I haven't quite mastered that yet


zergs are tough i just deal with them by doing 10 gate 10 gate harass on maps that aren't too big then they if they survive its with roaches so i go into robo by time their counterattack comes and immortals should be able to own em... it's a specific and short short term solution to pvz though ;o

playing vs zerg is just dumb. they can rape you in so many ways like speedlings just running through a choke or dualing while you can't counter dual on maps like scrap station or desert oasis.

another fun game me terran running over a toss player doing some early harassment with reapers (by far my favorite unit in the game)

don't forget you can feedback banshees and medivacs too. it's so good when you use it on a full medivac i love it. using feedback on a ghost can be tough because EMP outranges it

against a planetary fortress fast exp i like to rush it with maybe 4-5 immortals and some other men. it'll fall pretty quickly

the m&m and ghost push can be pretty tough and i've had to pull probes to defend a few times

i'm pretty sure EMP outranges feedback by a bit and yeah picking him out can be tough.

EMP is aoe so he doesn't have to cast it directly on your templar which means he has extra range from the aoe as well

you can spread out your templar but the problem is you won't be able to have more if they early push

im getting raped by marines and marauders, help

fast colossi? stalkers are almost useless vs terran except as anti-air and deterring reaper harass in my (limited) experience

colossi will vaporize the marines and then it seems like your charged zeals would take out the marauders without too much trouble

you really need templars.. Watch that psi-storm in the replay I posted where I went marines/rauders/medvacs vs the toss player. I won because he didn't get a storm off in time but watch the one he lands, it basically kills like 20 of my units.

http://sc2.nibbits.com/replays/view/904/reaper-harrass-vs-toss

temps are good but i think they're too gas heavy and take too long to build. you need the council and then the archives, and then on top of that you have to research psi storm which is 150 gas i think? templar is 150 gas, with that amount of gas you could have a colossus that doesn't need extra research to be useful and requires less babysitting, and on top of that you have to wait awhile after the templar spawns for him to have enough mana for storm (unless you get that one upgrade, which is even more time and gas). same amount of buildings required but you're going to want robo facility for obs anyway, and colossus beam doesn't need energy to be used repeatedly. marines have so little hit points, even one colossus is rape, two or more is just nasty. use zealots for meat and a sentry or two for the shield and you should clean up

yeah but the thing is, you're already getting the council for charge with your suggestion, so you're already going down that tech tree. Plus a collosus requires the robo bay and then the colossus itself is 300 gas, so you're spending about the same on either option. The difference is that a templar will completely decimate an army whereas a collosus is more functional as a unit but it's not going to stop an army in it's tracks.

So basically collosus is the more newb friendly, but less effective option.

also it takes roughly the same amount of time to make a templar as a collosus, dont forget u can research psy storm while ur making templars, with chrono boost on the upgrade and the units. So you can easily get them with plenty of time to spare vs a large terran push.
