I swear I'm 50% slower or something. I keep getting owned by the time I get a stalker out or something. Goddamn.
My 6 pools aren't working AT ALL. They never really do, but this time its like.. really not working.

And it's a really bad time to try Terran when I'm getting owned left right and center.

what's your build order?

Yay placed bronze 1v1. Man I suck.

For Toss:
9 Pylon.
10 Gate
11 Gas
- Zealot
12 Cyber
- Zealot
- Warp
- Stalker
15 Gate
etcetc

Then about 1 minute later while I'm still macro-ing, I get attacked or something with m+m or ling+roach.

Hard to explain. But I'll try and get a replay.

Do you leave your zeals at the ramp? I'd suggest pressuring their base since you're fast 2 gating from that build.
Send the first zeal built to base to harass, reinforce with the next 2 zeals.

Change unit production as needed ( aggressive, 1 stalker more zeals. Expo/passive, sentry + stalker to force field block the ramp9hokes )

This will allow your zeals to delay their rush and give you more build time since your two zeals can't stand up two bunch of marines or lings/roaches but you can if you attack when they're producing units one by one isntead of a larger cluster

Oh and are you chronoboosting your nexus until gateway comes up?
Posted via RS Mobile

Yeah.
I go for macro builds, and never really harass.
This is a replay of a Game I had earlier with Metal.

I went for blink Stalkers, got owned, then tech switched up to Stalker+Colossi.
Not my best game, but a win overall. I was distracted since my friend was on his way over to pick up something and I wanted to be "safe" which is why I built my army up, when I had tons of time to tech up/harass.

only 97.99 KB?

I dunno.
This is how I play Zerg.

I suck... so I don't know how I won these to be honest. I stick to 2 base until I realize that I'm down to one mineral patch in my first base.
Bad habit since I always expect to get owned before I even think about 3 base.

Both opponents were really bad at mid-late game.

has anyone tried the insane difficulty mode for AI?

I manage to keep myself alive when I play zerg, and get pwned when I play Terran.

They neutered my beloved Rays, so now I think I'm in a position to pwn, but then I get just wasted.

15 more days!

I really enjoy the team game even though it's not really the way the game was really designed. Pretty much all I play is 2v2, 3v3 and the odd 4v4. Now my gripe is idiots on your own team. I could careless if you suck who am I to tell someone they blow nuts when I'm not that great myself. What I can't stand is people who tell me what to build or how to move my units or are just plain fucking anoying.

Tell me how to move my units = Me killing your bases and leaving.
Taking my expansion after I clear it = Me killing your bases and leaving.
Me not like you because your annoying and won't shut up = Me killing your base and leaving.

I kill my own partner probably 10% of the time, I really don't give a fuck.

^ hahahaha

Yeah, I have to say, I don't encounter too many people like that when I played SC1.
Is it that bad in SC2?

The game might have been the most balanced for 1v1 play, but I wouldn't say
playing 2v2 or 3v3 is out of the norm. I have the most fun playing in teams with
my friends so I'm guaranteed not to have retards doing the above annoying things you've listed.

1v1 is intense, and if I'm not in the mood, I won't have fun playing those.

I just pre-ordered my copy today.
How does pre-ordering work? I never pre-ordered anything before.

Am I guaranteed to get it the first day it's out? Or am I on this huge priority list?
And I'll get a call to pick it up whenever it's in stock kind of thing?

Hey guys just wanted to let you know about a LAN event im hosting for StarCraft 2

for people who are interested Blizzard released their new SC II: Wings of Liberty site which can be found here...

http://beta-us.battle.net/sc2/en/

The new forums are AWESOME in my opinion and the site is only in "beta phase" with lots more goodies on the way. I also like how it show's your avatars and achievements once you log in.

Also for the people who prefer digital copies blizzard has released the "pre-sale" for digital copies where you can download the client NOW and then on July 27th at 10 AM finish the registration process and play ASAP. I'm going to go the digital way as I pre-ordered from BB online but with shipping who knows when it will arrive... this way I will be guaranteed to be able to play on the 27th.

Can people buying the physical copy use the digital copy? It doesn't seem like it according to what's on the site.
