After a 59 minute Terran vs. Terran game I finally won. I went for some Battlecruisers but he went Vikings so I got pwned. Then I went for Vikings but he had amassed so many of them. I built them up in my base surrounded by turrets, built some Reapers, Marauders, and Thors too.

Managed to destroy his second base once but he rebuilt soon after. Eventually I mass attacked him with Vikings and left my ground units to cover my base. Destroyed what I assume to be most of his units along with his second base and he quit. I completely exhausted 2 bases of mine, had 2 others. I think I was able to win with my extra SCVs and constant calldowns of MULEs. I had 8 MULEs mining at once.

Has anybody else been watching the HDH Invitational on HuskyStarcraft and HDStarcraft's channels? Very entertaining to watch professionals playing with English commentaries instead of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msSvZPZXwJU.

Yep. There's been some awesome matches so far.

Apparently I'm rank 11 in my Bronze League.

Last two matches my enemy had a ridiculous amount of units. My last opponent, Zerg, had at least double the units I had. He had two bases and I only had one but I wasn't pressed for resources and my 3 Barracks were constantly producing units. NOT COOL BRO. To be a jerk I lifted off my Barracks and waited at the edge of the map until he got air units.

Im now rank 50 something in my platinum league division. Still a long shot from the best but still im pretty happy with myself, i started losing a bit when i started using terran and protoss instead of zerg, but now I caught on and am winning more than losing again :goodjob:

Finished my placement matches in 2v2 and got 10th place in my division of platinum league But 2v2 isnt that good unless you have a team, ive been getting piece of [censored] teamates that always try to reaper rush or wall me in when they are terran on twilight fortress when I was going to play "slow but steady". As protoss they will try to get the mothership as quick as possible and dont provide any support whatsoever early game. And just now I played with a zerg player who thought it was a good idea to get tier 3 and started pouring zerglings into the enemies base which just ate up the zerglings. Really though, there is nearly no reason to get t3. The crackling upgrade damage increase is almost negligible. 3/3 and broodlords are literally the only reasons to get hive. Its a waste of time and money.

AKA, since you seem to be great with zerg.

You mind helping me a bit, ingame?

How can I offer my assistance? I dont know how I can teach someone unless its in person, but I can try

Well do you have a mic? That might help.

Maybe we can play a couple of custom games and then we'll see how it goes from there.

No Well I do but its built in and doesn't work for VOIP.

Oh and does anyone know how to/if you can make a new player profile? My buddy is coming over tomorrow and well... I dont want him playing on my account and losing

I don't think you can...since the beta is tied to your account IIRC.

What's your account name and identifier?

AKA, you should just post your build orders. Them be easy to copy. The hard part is scouting/countering/micro-managing. And coming up with those on your own.

ZaiZai... and my what?

Here's a good Zerg guide for anyone wanting to learn how to play as them. I figure it out by myself with a mixture of watching replays and watching more experienced zerg players, observing other races in replay and figuring out things I could have done to improve on my part and just from experience :shrug:

Like mine is Suffca.suffca
The identifier is the second part.

:confused: All I remember was ZaiZai. /:

I guess you could just add me.
Or give me the email you use for your account.

Ill just add you then.

I spent all day today, up until 2 hours ago using the map editor. Man is that thing powerful. I remember saying to someone previously that it took 75% knowledge and 25% imagination to make a map. Now it takes about 95% knowledge.

I'm making a basic map, with all the common triggers for gametypes, all neatly tied into one massive game. So far i've figured out how to give guys custom weapons, voices, meshes and abilities.

I've figured out how to make the standard starcraft rpg like I used to, and how to mass attack games like I used to make. I just need to keep practicing and i'll be a map making master in no time.

I'll post my {wip} tomorrow.

Theres a map editor for the beta!?!?

Yep.
I think think they released it a few patches ago.

The basic functions like terrain and unit placement are user friendly. Everything beyond that is a bloody nightmare to look at. It takes some time, and some tinkering but you'll understand the logic in it.

You cannot play custom maps with friends or even download people's maps through battle.net yet. You can only test your own games within starcraft using the "test game" function.

I managed to get a money map going with 8 computers, but sadly they all have incredibly easy a.i

I was pretty good with the Warcraft 3 Editor, but from what i understand Starcraft 2's is much harder.

Did you ever add me AKA?

I could really use some help in-game if you don't mind. When you have the time, that is.

Just a heads up, a new patch was released.
I was experiencing crashes whenever I tried exiting the beta. Looks like they fixed it now.

Does anybody else agree that Patch 12 completely screwed over Zerg? Making the roach cost 2 supply with the current build order is a horrible idea. What they should do is reverse the tiers of roaches and hydralisks (with the proper damage balancing, of course). That way, Zerg anti-air is available earlier and the roach is actually good again.

The roach should receive its 2 armor back and maybe give it a very slight regeneration bonus above ground, but nothing too drastic. I thought the roach was supposed to a be a tank-like unit, but all it really was was a Brood War-esque hydralisk that only attacks ground and has horrible range. I'm sick of the roach, and Zerg in general, receiving nerf after nerf with very few buffs to counteract them. They're by far the weakest race right now.

On a positive note, I'm glad to see that they fixed the freezing issue when trying to exit the game.
