I got too much of a life to come to this tourney, maybe next time if there's success. Will you rank people based on their BNet class, so that we don't immediately get pwned?

The good thing about this tourney is you can do it at home :P just set up at time to play with your opponent and you're good to go.

Not doing rankings based on BNet class. But if there are enough people to do it based on the bnet class then why not. But for now its just who ever. I'm doing that match ups based on when i added the people to the list. Random enough imo.

Silver 1v1 cause I did my placements drunk lol.
Either gold or Silver 2v2.
Gold 3v3.

I don't take this game seriously enough to go in a tourney.

^ If terran player decides to go all mecha army + raven, there's no way a zerg player can win, even if the army worth is double the mecha army

Yeah IMHO ZvT is imbalanced right now

What I think is gay about ZvT is that if you rush with Z, the T player ALWAYS wall chokes and there is no way to get in...So pretty much, the Z player is fucked and needs to tech up asap.

What I find in Gold/Silver 1v1 league is that 9 pool Zergling rush is able to sneak in before they wall choke, and if they have a choke up already, they don't have any marines yet...

But even when you start attacking those depots, they send fucking SCV's to repair that shit. Hella Gay.

^ I'm not a zerg player and haven't played much multiplayer or anything but would a baneling bust work? I've heard people talk about doing that against people who wall.

edit: I found a video on baneling busting through terran walls. but it seems like an all in build and if it doesn't work you might be screwed lol

Zerg, I think, is my strongest race, for 1v1 I usually go Random though, (cause my ign is : Random, so it looks pretty cool haha). Baneling takes too long. Yes, it will be successful in busting those chokes, but your going to have to tech up for that and also use resources to make them. When you do this, you are going to be wasting time, especially if you haven't perfected the build order. When this happens, the Terran player would have probably teched up, or massed up, or even reapered yo' ass.

Anyone play Terran here? I LOVE reaper rushing

baneling rush is slightly costly but works very well and is extremely useful early game ~ 5 baneling's to reach the supply and speedlings go in ... or mid game burrow in roaches

i dont do it personally but it is pretty effective vs a terran wall ...

and PS: reaper rush doesn't work = = it's just a nuisance for protoss that's it

How so?

Scout a rax + refinery.

Pump a stalker and leave it at the mineral line. Done.

Has anyone beaten 3v3 VH?

I'm having a rough time, we win when it's ZZX but never anything with just either Terrans or Protoss.

I play protoss, any players here with recommendations?

as a terran player, I hate baneling busts. If I don't have an army when that happens its gg for me.

Reaper rushes are a waste of time for me. I'm too busy trying to micro them when I should be doing stuff in my base.

Are you talking about the achievement where you use VH AI as allies, or friends as allies?


I find against VH/Insane, you have to cheese to throw them off. Or even find a shared entrance map, fortify it with cannons/bunkers. Then just tech to carriers/voidrays

at diamond no terran player block with supply depo...
they block with rax and a fast factory for helion harrass... which forces you do make units instead of drones, while the terran expands himself...

if you guys are interested in why ZvT is so imbalance right now heres a good summary and quote from many high rank gamers: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/to...5111759?page=1
