ok so sc2ranks has a custom div options and i started one so u can build like a vancouver area ladder, a great way to see where u stand and also find other players here in vancouver to play with too

http://sc2ranks.com/c/322/vancouver

I have started the list with a few name i knew, everyone is able to add people to it so feel free to add yourself and your friends that are from the Vancouver area

Just click "manage Charters" and put the b.net url to you page or to your friends (anyone can add, only i can remove so msg me if there is any errors or people that need to be removed)

u can get ur url via http://us.battle.net/sc2/ loggin in an clicking ur name so mine would be: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/.../1/HeyitsClay/

from there u can see ur sc2 friends list and get your friends profiles that may live in the vancouver area

if u know someone but dont know their b.net profile u can search for their name using the search feature here http://sc2ranks.com/ then click their name and it will take u to their b.net profile so u can add their url.

For zerg you can just send over your lings to their mineral line.. and sneak out a drone while trying to harvest as much as you can in your base, then popping down another hatchery at another expansion while they try to slowly move their turrets outward.

Is there anyway to display a game timer or clock during a multilayer game?
I always got lost in time...a timer can definitely help me time attacks or strategy.

Oh man... this B.Net interface sucks so much.
The last time I complained, I wasn't familiar with it.
A month later, I'm more familiar, and now I realize how redundant so many of these various modes are.

I've been trying to get my FFA achievement, and after 3 attempts in 3 different methods of a FFA setup, it's still not working.

It would have been much easier to have a main lobby, on the right panel, you
choose your settings, co-op, custom, vs ai (Some of these modes pretty much overlap, so it's redundant)
then based on your set up, you can easily see whether it's FFA if you have everyone on separate teams,
or team game if you have 2 players on one team, and 2 players on another team, it's obviously 2v2 then. etc.

It's not that bad of an interface, but knowing I would have made it a LOT better bugs me.
There's many games with bad GUI, EA's NFS series being the worst I've seen so far. They should have hired me to direct/design it.

^ what are you talking about, the interface is fine. if you cant tell what game mode you are playing, its ur fault, they made buttons for all of them including ffa. Only button they dont have is for you vs the ai.

and which ffa achievement you trying to get? It's easy to get if you bum rush the closest guy to you, macro up and wait for the other players to take each other out, then rush in with ur massive army. Works every time. =D

It's under custom. Those FFA achievements.
I think the problem was that I was playing it on BGH, not official Blizzard map.
Can anyone confirm? All achievements have to be done on an official Blizzard map?

need help for 3v3:

me: zerg
my two friends: terran


I'm always the one who gets rushed because I don't have the wall at the ramp. I usually get 2 spine crawlers, one at the front of my hatchery and the other behind my mineral. By the time backup arrives, I would have lost most of my drones and my queen. I need a turtling strategy.

I thought of extending my creep by creep tumor to my ramp and then block off with spine crawlers. However, enemy's speedlings can run right through my tightly packed spine crawlers.

Is there some kind of counter when turtling?

my playing style is to build up economy then attack... so I don't go for the quick rush or counter rush.

Trying to get the 3v3 insane achieve? If ztt, zerg do 6pool rush, or sunken rush if they have a zerg, other 2 terran js bunker rush


If you mean by ladder, then get early lings + roaches to help defend a bit till ur partner help u out

z/t/t 3v3 is pretty tough for Zerg.
If your two buddies are walling up, which is probably gonna happen like 90% of the time,
you're the weakest link at the early stages.

I don't think you can build up economy and attack. You'll never be given the chance
against good opponents. Switch up you style and play more aggressive, and maybe attack before they do,
so your team can 3v1 rape someone first.

Or recon in the middle of the map, so you can see when they are about to do a double/triple team rush (on you).
Then your friends can prepare to come out and save you asap.

If you plan to wall, you can't wall with spine crawlers. You'll have to use bigger structures, and build with the same principles
of how Terran does it. Although how you'll get your creep to the ramp fast enough is dependent on the map and speed of your
opponent's rush... I don't think you'll be able to do it fast enough for most games.

depends on your points win ratio and the people you beat. If you beat 100 bronze league players it wont be equivalent to beating a large number of favored or slightly favored teams.

So, are there any good protoss strats?

I usually go for carriers while sealing myself off. Works only as a team game strat though as 1vs1, the rush will own me.

ladder...


but it's soo hard to make "enough" lings + roaches while getting drones at the same time in the beginning from only 1 hatchery..

I've thought about making a quick expand, but it would only get rushed 3v1 even faster.


should I build another hatchery right next to my starting hatchery??

Is anyone else here finding the Game Lobby really finicky?

Like sometimes just creating how many AI you want, and assigning them
accordingly on separate teams or the correct teams can be a hassle.
Like sometimes they're just not going into the boxes you want them to be.

I'm trying to do the 1v4 AI achivement... doesn't seem like I can get more than 3 AI on one team.
I'm doing this in Custom mode... any help?
