    I suck at this game. I'm just not good with multitasking.

    I can expand to everywhere or build units/command them, but not both at the same time. :/

    Oh gods I loled, how the hell did he even manage that? I guess the opponent was kinda crap, couldn't really tell at this speed but it seemed he never attacked the SCVs repairing the fortresses.

    The opponent didn't take advantage of the fact that he is zerg and didn't give an early push. The only push he had was a bunch of lings trying to take down the back door, which should have been run straight into his main base and destroy his SCVs as he had all of 2 marines to guard them at that point iirc.

    Against an opponent who had any idea how to play zerg, it wouldn't have worked.

    Sam, I just won 7 out of 9 games using a new tactic, or rather a new way of thinking about my early game. Thought you should know :P

    Hah, video: Mass sentry :D

    just played a ffa, one guy dropped then i dominated the other two with a massive roach swarm. destroyed everything except like 5 mutas and an extractor on one guys team, and he came and killed everything before i could get any anti air with those 5 mutas. gah. in the end it came down to me planting hatcheries all over the map hoping one would be able to get up a queen before he killed them with his mutas. i lost to a guy with 5 mutas and an extractor. gaaah.

    Someone seems to <i>actually</i> be pro, despite claiming otherwise.

    On another note, I have noticed a bug I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Yesterday I played as zerg against my friend who was terran, he had a couple of ghosts nuking me a little now and then. I got the blinking light, the verbal warning of "nuclear launch detected" yadda yadda. However, when I swarmed him with a large army I suddenly got a nuke in the middle of it, straight out of the blue. I got no verbal warning at all, the tiny light probably just went unnoticed. He managed to do this twice and it nearly cost me the match, I think other warnings such as "units under attack" and maybe even the addition of unit voices canceled out the nuke warning. Surely this cannot be right? On the other hand, it might be my particular audio software/hardware which causes it. Still, annoying as hell.

    Is Abra a dwarf?
    Why did noone tell me?!

    Also:
    a) This is entertaining (and a good newbie introduction to Starcraft multiplayer gameplay I suppose)
    <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Rv-s-7rNk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Rv-s-7rNk</a>
    I won't embed it, as you should watch it in high-quality you crazy twit!

    b) For the heck of it, though it won't amount to anything: I too crave beta key wub.

    ninja-edit: c) I'm not dead :O Hello peoples.

    i've never seen a 2v2 with decent players amount to anything more than which team can rush one player faster, then clean up the second player. either that happens, or both teams aren't very good. or its a shared base, but hardly anyone plays that map.
  • marksmarks Join Date: 2008-07-28 Member: 64720Members
    I wouldnt go quite that far, but 2v2 is definitely a lot more about massing low-tier units for a larger part of the game.
  • tigersmithtigersmith Join Date: 2004-11-11 Member: 32749Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Supporter
    btw always seems like imgetting smoked by zerg in 2v2. roaches are soo op right now in it :(

    i have found a problem with zerg. they have absolutely no tier 1 AA. terran has marines, toss has stalkers, the earliest AA zerg has is hydras or mutas, which require a hatchery upgrade and another tech building, a minimum of 3 buildings. since zerg's power lies in it's speed to get a force, this focus on teching usually promises a loss for zerg. if they don't tech up quickly then they can get taken out by a minimal air force by another team that can focus on teching more ably, like terran who can turtle.
