No harm in playing 1v1 with friends. Which is what I kinda had in mind.
But something came up and I might be busy Sunday. But I at least would like to play with some of you guys. Again. |

Probably.
I don't know if I want to play online though, I'd probably just end up crying. My past Battle.net experiences were not that fun to say the least.  |

Please do. Also get a mic while you are at it.
SC2 is more fun with Skype. |

Dude thanks for the reminder. I have money now! I don't have Starcraft 2!
Need to fix this.  |

HEY!
I should be getting my new Keyboard this week! Which means I would love to test it out on SC2. Sunday I am off! Anyone want in on a little fun? Skype? Alcohol? Fun times? Let's do this! I'll be practicing all morning this morning and after about 4 I need to go back into WoW. So if anyone wants in let me know and i'll send an invite. Just keep your schedule on Sunday for super happy fun time! YEA! |

Macro and Micro is all you need to master and you will quickly climb up to Diamond.
Tip: No one below Gold league knows how to use either one of those. It's hilarious. |

Bumpity bump.
I just made Silver League. I'm pretty happy 'bout it. That will be all. |

Hey! If anyone wants to join us tomorrow on a few games of SC2. Please be sure to add me at Sajin_neko@yahoo.com
Were gonna have about 4 computers playing this game and we need all the normal / friendly competition we can get! I'll also post up vent information (Or we might just end up using skype) if it's needed. So if you don't have the free version of SC2 now would be a good time to get it! All of my friends are going to be playing it and of course we will have many people watching the games (You can observe too!) and talking over the mic! Shit is gonna be unreal! |

You know getting 4gate proxy is absolutely easy that even a bronze league can do it.
Zerg has make queens and banelings as quick as humanly possible. Then saturate into two base and out macro the 4gate Terran players need to build bunkers and make maurders / concussion shells and micro the shit out of that. Protoss is like: "Whatever I am gonna 4gate too let's see how well he can macro rofl" fuckin ASSHOLES |

His laugh is like a mini unicorn farting rainbows! <3 |

Do you wanna know what micro is?
LOL Also if you are new to Starcraft you have to look up Day9. He's like the face of starcraft. Literally. |

It's the same way with WoW... when I had my default UI, I only mapped probably 3 buttons to other keys (that were otherwise somewhat useless, like F, G, and Z) and a few on my mouse... now I use Shift+Spacebar to get on my mount, shift+1-5 for totems/stances/stealth/pets/etc, I have F, G, and Z still mapped, I hit V and B with my thumb, I have Shift+ variants of all of those... It made my game a LOT easier, especially PvP. I can see how that would translate over to Starcraft relatively easily. |

Yeah, hotkeys make all the difference. I mean, I've been personally using them since my time with the original SC. But seriously, hotkeys + macro gets you far.
I don't play much anymore, but when I do I tend to practice my mechanics. As protoss, I easily made plat without knowing any real strategies. Just used 3gate + expand every game ('cept PvP) and easily beat anyone (even them diamonds). |

Hey! I don't need to be the ONLY person posting in this thread!
Well, I climbed much higher in the ladder as gold league. And one thing a lot of players that I asked in another gaming forum I frequent in just also so happens to have a really good Terran player who is ranked 10 in GM. Well, I was posting replays one night and he contacted me telling me that he would be my teacher. At first, I didn't know who he was until he literally contacted me on Bnet and to check his credentials, I looked at his profile, and welp, Rank 10 in GM. Right on the spot. We talked for a good while on skype and offered a game or two to where he would go amazingly slow and we would both watch the replays together and he told me something that I never even knew existed. Motherfucking hotkeys. You know, Shift+1 clicking buildings to where you can build units without even looking at them. Not to mention, but excellent strategies, and very good practice maps that I can use to better myself as a player. Either way, I have improved immensely. Nothing pro gaming. But it's a good start from where I was when i first started. The challenge he gave me was to use hotkeys but only look at bases only if building a base but also using mules. But here is the catch: 2 rax on hard. One reactor / Tech. Expand once, and push out once I hit at least 10 in food count for marine and maurder mix. Amazingly, it worked. I won with the most simple of ease. All with using waypoints and using hotkeys to spend more time fighting then going one building at a time building units and moving them out constantly going back and forth. Knowing this strategy seriously, and I mean SERIOUSLY improved my game with just macro alone. When i first jumped in, I won my way through by multitasking with my mouseview and just keep on pushing my way towords bases. Now, I don't have to look back anymore and I can focus on attacking rather than build bases. Alas; I still have a long way to go. And with this new skill I acquired (Took me long enough eh?) I'm pretty damn well sure I will be able to make it past Gold league now. Since according to a lot of folks, they don't use them. Cept zerg, you are kinda pressured into using them. But i'm terran so screw you! |

I'm getting hella better at this game.
I'm using MMA's 1rax early expand with stimpacks and it's so far working really well for me. It's a 1/1/1 build in which you really don't -have- to use factories but it's necessary to use them teched up in the mid-late game if you want to use seige tanks to push ahead. But once rax and stimpacks are finished (You need to be constantly making SCV's and Marines) you need to build medivacs and start poking around in their base using drops and quickly lifting them off again. Enemy is going to stick to his base and you can safely expand without any harm whatsoever. This; is necessary you have some very good multitasking abilities and you need to do this quick enough to expand and start bringing your transisition process (Build more rax's, Tech up marine shields if banelings, seige tanks, ghosts for protoss, whatever) Pretty high up in gold now. Really high. OH! Have some of you guys watched MLG Reileigh? Or however you spell it. I dunno but the most important thing that happened is that Idra is a big fucking child and he sucked ass at MLG this year. He is the BEST zerg in the USA (GM Rank 3 last I checked) (Skip to 1:29 and you'll see baby Idra have a little temper tantrum) And here he is, in an actual MLG tournament. And guess what happens. He's winning. And he GG'd. Cry more and go back to Korea you sack of shit. |

Maximus Black did when Cheese Fails with CombatEX vs Destiny.
You guys wanna see Maximus Black vs CombatEX? It's HILARIOUS! However, warning. This is literally a shit talk fest live on skype I mean CombatEX literally starts SCREAMING into the mic talking trash to Maximus Black. Spoiler:
It was a 2-2. Tie |

So I am getting awfully rusty because usually when i get home I WANT to play SC2 but I suck online so I ragequit a lot. I maybe play about 2 matches a night now and it's just...not fun for me playing online.
So here is what I suggest doing: All of us interested need to start setting up a schedule playing nights. Tuesdays and Thursday nights are bad for me due to raid nights and I wont be able to play those nights. Yasu asked to play a game but unfortunately I was not on to do so. So here is my suggestion: 1- Start planning nights. I would think maybe Wednesday nights would be a good thing. 2- Get skype. I'm on skype and it's the best way to talk and converse not only while playing but to discuss SC2. Darkslaya and I already have this down. (Don't be shy now!) 3- Get the free version if you can. I'm starting to get sick of Terran. And was wanting to switch to either toss or zerg. Unfortunately I don't know how to really play either class and I need practice. Maybe some of you guys who know them can help a homie out? 4- Have fun! It's the basis of all combat! |
