Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 121 - Video Games

also the last terran i played let me get like 25 2/0 mutas up, so he responded by sending 1 singular 0/0 viking with his next very blue flame hellion heavy attack force. almost got me. so close.

God I miss desert oasis.

Funniest game I ever had on it, I start out muta, terran starts building a ****ton of vikings, and says "keep building muta noob".

So I did.

A lot of them. And he kept building nothing but vikings.

Mutas kinda crush vikings.

I just lost a 4v4 to a cannon rush, which would've never worked if I wasn't distracted by someone from the apartment administration ringing the doorbell, apparently being let in by my roommate and then proceeding to open the door to my room to tell me they were doing inspections and start talking to me. In the middle of my damn game.

edit - actually i looked him up and he lied... he's high plat on SEA. that makes more sense. high plat on SEA prob = high D here tho.

SEA server is not the same as Korean server

Played on EU server. My record there was 3-10, obv bottom of the barrel bronze.

Won 6 games in a row. I was mainly playing like top 10 bronze people.
Some of these guys have over 2k games played and 2k+ points. I'm just standard 4 gating and 3 gate/roboing + making many macro mistakes. How do you play 2k games and be that horrible? Or at least, not quit by now. They are baaaaaaaadddddddddddddddd. I think I feel bad for them.

ive always wondered what the process of getting on the other servers is. just buy a copy for that region?

altho i hear for the korean server you need to have a korean SS# or w/e. that's too bad. i'd def get on there if i could.

Will Starcraft 2 always be region-locked? I don't really understand the reasoning for it.

Most likely just to make people buy the game again if they want to play in another region.

Plus, I think it benefits the region to reduce cross region lag.

Just a guess..

i think it's just out of consideration for lag, their servers and giving the players the best experience. the tiny amount of money they make off of people buying for diff regions cant be the reason. it's a smart decision imo. international lag can be a bitch.

do you guys have the same hotkeys for the entire game? like in ZvT i always just have lings on 1 banes on 2 and mutas on 3. i'm thinking it might be better to just have all of them on 1 then use 2 and 3 whenever i actually want to do something like muta harass or try to counter w/ some lings. then if a big engagement is coming i can just hotkey it how i want.

on that note, i'd like to break my hotkey habit (4 for queens, 5 hatches) to give myself more keys for hotkeying units without being too far down the keyboard

id also like to learn to inject properly instead of minimap all game :P

when i make a bunch of lings i control click the eggs in the bottom middle then hit shift 1 to add them to control group 1. once i morph banes i control click the cocoons and hit shift 2.

Why don't I have motivation to grind ladder? Or play 1v1s. Oh right, I get super tilted when I lose.

Something has come over me, and I've stopped caring about whether I win or lose. I move commanded my entire 200 army and lost when I should have won, and I didn't even cuss or slam my table or strangle a kitten. Just started searching for a new game. We'll see how long this attitude lasts.

had a really good day on ladder! a good win:loss ratio

of course that wont help me get to masters at all or help my rating, as i played until i was tired and dropped a whole bunch of dumb games. one game i was doing ling/bling vs toss and at around 35 supply i realized i hadnt made an expo. so i quit.

didn`t play 1on1 for 3months and overall had a break for 2.5 months, played 3 1on1 and in the 3rd game I raged because I owned them so hard 3 times(I tricked them and faked a lot of strategies). I had such a huge supply lead but terran just roflstopmed my protossarmy .... I never play 1o1 again
