So I found my newest favorite cheese strat. It's called live in a goddamn desert. See, nobody wants to put up with someone who is continually almost timing out but for some reason the timer resets and never actually drops them. I usually get called a fucking mexican and then they bail.

I hope to use this strat to one day compete in the GSL as I have so far not lost with it.

Is anyone else having problems loading level through the Master Archives screen? I am trying to go back and get the achievements (finally 100%ed WoL!), but a level takes roughly 8-10 minutes (I timed it) to load for some reason. So every time I miss one of the achievements by like 1 second, I am looking at a load screen forever.

I think I figured out my PvZ strat, basically you rush out 2 zealots, mothership core and stalker to deny third and make him build lings and queens, expand behind it with a forge, get 1/1 and 7 gates, then push out with stalker/sentry and core to at least kill the third and recall back, but you can usually win on the spot unless they went 2base swarm hosts or something weird like that. Works best on Belshir Vestige, Planet S, Star Station, Newkirk and CK, decent on Daybreak and don't ever try it on Whirlwind. You don't even have to probe scout on the 2player maps. You need to do a lot of scouting with hallucinations, so you know where his army is and don't fuck up your FFs.

Zehn: you should try playing D3 on hardcore.

Can't even play D3 on normal let alone hardcore. It's some cruel hand of fate. I get 10 meg internet just fine. I can download games and whatnot in no time. My ping however even to euro servers is in the high 400's and will spike to 1000+ regularly.

Fucking hadji-net.

Because Blizzard is full of dumbasses thats why. Raynor being a vengeful piece of shit and stopping at nothing to kill Kerrigan would of made 1000x more sense than this twisted love story its turned into.

Mutalisk move at 4.0 god damn speed. By comparison that is only 0.25 less than a Medivacwhile using boost.Considering Blizzard made it pretty clear they think Mutas should be a staple in TvZ if a Zerg is getting caught off guard by a Medivac drop that is on the Zerg. Zergs still have creep and OVs to help with spotting drops.

Also look at the Zergs at this tournament. By far the most foreigner represented race. There were only 2 Korean Zergs and 1 go through. Anyone watching Leenock's play recently knew he wasn't quite up to snuff with HOTS. Life, being King Zerg, won a narrow victory against Polt whom many consider one of the top 3 Terrans in HOTS at the moment.

I am getting a little tired of some of the standard, stereotypical shit that gets placed in games like these, IE Kerrigan hearing a news report that Jim is dead, with no body, or anything else to confirm it. The guy has lived through shit tons of things and wham bam, executed. Yes, it's possible, but given Mengsk's whole media bullshit no way was an execution going to go down all quiet like.

Frankly it's complete bullshit writing. Mengsk DID capture Jim, announcing to his people that he is captured and now imprisoned for life for his crimes would have the same effect for him (announcing victory over the rebels) and has the benefit of not biting him in the ass when Jim suddenly reappears. Imagine Osama Bin Laden showed up today. Obama would have the deadest career of all time.

It therefore makes sense for her to believe it. The whole premise is retarded.

They needed 1. Kerrigan to think Jim is dead for her to go on her rezerging vengeance quest 2. Jim alive so they can reunite.
And to get this, this is the best they could come up with. Horrible.

and when can we drop the spoilers?

I'd vote March 26. Game hasn't even been out a week yet.

That is not how it seems to be working. The problem is not that zerg cannot defend the drops as we have seen zergs defend with mutas and it works well. The problem is that while all the zerg units are defending the terran can just keep expanding.

It's really odd they have ear plugs under those huge noise cancelling headphones. I'd rather not have these uncomfortable things in my ear if I already am wearing headphones...

As I have said before, I am not suggesting any balance changes yet as it will take months to see the game evolve. I am just saying it how I see it, and Flash vs Parting game 1 seems a very good example. Parting cannot attack or expand.

All I know is medivacs are forcing engagements and leading to exciting TvPs. If it wasn't for speed vacs Flash would just sit back and wait for 200/200 and hope he managed to out micro Parting. It is terrible to watch. Throw away race bias you have to admit speed vacs are making for very exciting and fast paced games.

If Protoss had something comparable, but Oracles seem to be pretty useless at the top level ATM

Did anyone finally figure out how APM is calculated ? Because I'm at like 190 in most games, then I check it in SC2 gears and it's back to 120
