You click that big button that says Protoss before you start a quick match.

Anyone know where I can find some guides/tutorials/writeups on how not to suck? I think I got issues with tech tree development/resource allocation.

^look on youtube, u can find videos that show u a basic opener.

dont tech too early, most newbs try to do that. u cant mass just one unit, even if its a tier 3 unit.

never have a lot of money in the bank unless you're protoss and you plan to warp in and entire fucking army (make sure u have enough warpgates to keep up or enough probes! LOL)

scout... scuot scout... if they're going early tech, counter it. if they're massing ground units, counter it.

u cant just stick with "one" plan.

don't suck.

win.

(Y)

Key thing in this game (this shit is important and if you want to win or get better)

- Scouting : know wtf there going !! its easy to tell what there going or plan to go by there building set up (ex. if they have 2 gas factories early game. expect them to have less grunt units like marines etc, there most liekly going to go units such as tanks and shit... )

- Expand : always makes expansions!

- Use choke points/hills : this can make the difference between winning and losing. (ex. 2 armies that are identical fight on a hill/choke area, whoever that is on the top of the hill/choke has a BIG advantage)


-Watch your replays!: learn from people who pwn your ass and learn from wtf you did wrong.


- Use the help menu in game: If you dont know whats good agianst what, click on the help menu top left during the game. It branches out and gives you a review of all the units/buildings. Gives you info like this unit is weak/strong agianst this and this...

I only played 2 games so far, and they were the ubern00b 1v1 first-steppes level. Both times I played random and got terran and played against zerg. Both times I got air pwned; I tried to counter the second time with vikings and battlecruisers but as soon as I beat off (shut it) my attackers and pursued to their base, there were more opposing units than I had expected.

I know I'm a n00b and haven't got ahold of the new tech trees and all that, but...I still feel like I'm more of a retard than I should be given that I didn't suck completely at SC1.

yeah watch your replays
so many times im like "wow if i attacked him now i woulda won" or vice versa

its cuz we didnt scout properly

or i beat 2 of his bases and im like.. uhhhh didnt know he had a 3rd and we were both raping each other's bases but cuz he had a 3rd i lost.

protoss dont need to expand too early unless u n eed a shit load of gas.

ive beaten many people that have 2 bases and i only have 1. as long as u keep pounding them and they keep wasting minerals replacing buildings and units u will win.

scout. build units that counter his units.

see them go roaches, go a few z's couple stalkers/sentries and go immortals

immortals are strong. i usually go early void ray. just 1 or even 2 can change the tide of battle.
u send a small army to the front fuck their army up a little while 2 void rays and a warp prism warps in zome zealots in the back

once u have the advantage its easy. cuz u can slowly tech while he's trying to make an army.

once u get DT's it can be game over if he's dumb and has few or little detectors.

i have the most trouble vs terran if they mass M&M's.
cant do jack shit :( i'd go psystorm but by the time that happens i already have a shit laod of them raping my probes.

I tried adding duh.dang, but it didn't work. Tried cap first and lowercase.

wtf really? Ive been on almost everday lol
Yea watching your own replays really really help
and diversifying ur army is key like VERY VERY IMPORTANT.

Its not like sc 1 anymore were its 4vs4 money map and everyone just picks one thing to mass and you have a huge battle lol

adding friends only works when the guy is online?

Awesome thats not too far from now.

Hopefully they release the 3v3 and 4v4 soon.

Anyone preorder from FS online to get the key?

Experianced the worst service ever trying to enquire wether the key was given on in-store preorders, 45 min later they finally decided it wasnt
Posted via RS Mobile


Edit* K i pre-ordered it online from FS, do they email me the key?

i ordered from FS and got my key the next morning. they did send me an email that said they had problems sending them out to everyone. i ended up getting another email with the same cd key today.

I was told by one Futureshop employee that it could take upto one full business day to receive the key.

Anyone know where I can still pre-order the limited edition version? I checked out futuershop/bestbuy and their site says that they're sold out.

Anyone have an extra beta key they do not need that I can have for free?

Thanks
