More replay fun, a 2v2 with Crushinator (S), Kazicht (N) vs Naba (S), Tanshin (G).

I got scared and thought Naba was going to rush to mothership to back up his void rays! Luckily that didn't happen, because it took me forever to get observers, like an idiot.

Kaz, you gotta get those medivacs up faster if you're gonna do a marine/marauder attack! Then stimpack those bitches.

Naba: They did have a superior force prior to the base trade. Deciding factor was that they were dumb and moved their entire army to your bases and split it between the two. Had they moved the mom, voids, stalkers and sentries to engage your voids in their base they would have probably won that fight. Their lots, DT and immortals could have trashed your base up in the process.

The entire game hinged on being quicker at base trade (which they were), or destroying your air force (had they not been dumb, they could have). The colossi cannot do anything against air, and do sub-par damage to structures. They could have been killed by a single phoenix, albeit slowly. They threw away any advantage they had when they spread their forces out and ignored your army.

More replays! First up is a Naba vs Crush match, wherein naba somehow has a superior army but loses anyways.

Naba v Crush Practice

Then three 3v3 matches where we learn some hard lessons. 2 losses and one win.
3v3 01
3v3 02
3v3 03


Any BRO-tips appreciated. I know i fucked up HARD on that 3rd one by not building detectors. If i have cloaked units, they can have cloaked units. I thought I was unstoppable.

My first placement match, lulz ensue.

YEEEEEH

Mrcrushin vs myself. PvZ replay

Fuckin davey crockett of space.

It was a really hard battle.... almost epic... but after putting up the longest fight, and mining out every min and gas, I squeaked out victorious.

edit: great I landed in platinum 1v1 :( I blame this match here.

Harassin'
I could've did way better but I was too busy harassing the other dudes lol. And it also helped that they didn't do anything when I was all up in their base.

Amazing 3v3 we just did. Kaz, Donk, and myself. Match starts off with a good harass that turns into a base wipe agains the zerg player, but then the other 2 terran players assault kaz with reapers almost elminating him. The battle drags on and on, and it looks like all is lost, but with master teamwork and micro we fucking BEAST the dudes into rage quitting.

AT LEADS THE FUCKIN WAY

AT 5 player ffa, long 1h.


AT 3v3

This was an awesome battle, we soon realized we were at a stale mate just harassing and we go in with all forces supply capped. It's long but its well worth a look

Battle of the Forever!

Some replays from me and kaz's 2v2 placements. All are pretty bad, but maybe we can learn from them.

Epic 2v3 placement.

Crushin, Donkey, and myself were doing 3v3 placements. Game two mrcrushin crashed out during load (epic load screen!) forcing a 2v3. I took over operation of both crushins base and my own, building dual bases and armies. Game was ugly to start, they had map control. Held the lines, I got the cheeserays out and things swung in our favor there. 50 min of crazy holyshitness.

This was a good one, Donkey Kaz and myself saw 3 protoss enemies at the start and planned on them fucking us in the ass with a ridiculously heavy ground force.

We were right!

So the strategy we came up with was defend until the first push, which we assumed would be most of the army, then attack, It was donkey and kaz on Siege defense and I was anti air just in case they decided to throw us a curve ball.

What I learned from playing 4v4 all sunday long: I really really really hate dark templars. We always won but god damn they made us work for it. Those little bitches do so much damage.

Yeah, DT's can be real assholes if you don't have the detectors to pick em up. I usually forget to build detectors :(

What's your b.net ID?

max@lmccpa.com Add me, dudes! Let's playing starcraft!

Denied cannon rush
Fast game

This is an old replay but the response at the end is timeless.

I got proxied, donkey got muta'd... Kaz... won the game. excellent replay.

Fought my way up to Silver League! See the 6 pool failure here.

Fucking awesome! You're not officially the best SC2 player in AT. You just stole the "general" title from Kaz.

We had an amazing game last night. Even though we got (poorly?) proxy cannon'd, we kept our cool and won the game pretty decisively.
Another amazing game

not that my computer can actually run this game but is it true that you only get to play the terran campaign?

For the time being, yes. Blizzard opted to chunk up SC2 in to 3 parts, the first of which, Wings of Liberty is the Terran aspect of the SC2 story. Next will be the Zerg aspect, with the Protoss following third. Each campaign will get approx 30 missions each, while in the old format of SC1, each race got at most 10. Brood war campaign of all 3 races was smaller than just the Terran SC2 campaign.

ah when i first heard that it sounded totally lame but after your explanation it doesnt seem so bad.

I need some help, tell me what i'm doing wrong.

Double 6 pool fail. They at least stuck to their guns.

SO MANY ZERGLINGS!

Long ass epic game that starts with some bitch-ass proxy cannons, then drags out to a full on all map mineral rape.

A pretty fun 1v1 that earned me my first solo league portrait. I like how i stifled his attack on my base WHILE messing up his own. I fucked up early on and had a lot of mins sitting around, but i was making good use of them later.

You can't win a game by building tons of cannons.

Cred to Donkey for linking this. I can only imagine the look on the Protoss' face when he finally decided to attack. He was probably thinking "hot damn this is the easiest proxy ever".

Ho-ho-ho-ly shit! Christmas eve we just busted out one of the craziest 4v4's ever. Everyone with Sc2 NEEDS to see this.

CHRISTMAS SC2 MADNESS!

Highlights:

-AC9breaker buildling no less than FOUR motherships
-Naba destroying over 170 food worth of hydras with one massive baneling attack (acid splash!)
-Purple player losing his MIND over my shit talk
-Red player making a crazy simcity base all perfectly aligned
-53 minutes of MAYHEM!

Donkey and I finished up our 2v2 placements with a thrilling tug of war game. I thought all was lost once they took over BOTH high yeilds, but thanks to donkey's neverending perseverance we pulled through.

SILVER STATUS!

I dunno, I think you guys just got lucky you where playing against some shitty doods.That map seems kinda big so I think fast teching early on was the right idea like they both did instead of going for the 5 minute attack. Also instead of doing more teching, they just amassed an army which you guys totally had the counter for. They where both floating 1000+ min and where totally not making the best use of them. I mean they should have had Thors, colossi BC or something to finish you off but instead they just goofed it up and did nothing with those high yields. They didn't even take their natural's which would have helped in their gas heavy armies cause their main problem was getting enough gas to match the units they wanted to make.

Yeah, congrats on silver first of all!

But I agree with Breaker, those guys messed up big time. They had a good first attack, but seemed to focus all attention on gathering mins instead of using them. They had pretty much no army after the first part of the game, and I was baffled as to why.

I don't need to take this shit from some straight bronze scrub. Know your place.



Thanks for the constructive criticism, always good to hear advice from a fellow silver rank player.

This is probably the best "WoW-ripoff" SC2 mod i've seen so far.



We need to give it a shot! MORE DEEPS!

Two crazy replays with Tans, Donkey and myself. Go Go mass marines!

Game 1

Game 2

Wacky FFA and Wiryu's inaugural AT SC2 game.

AC should have had this game, but he held back for some reason after I was crippled in a base trade. Mercy is for the weak, man.

I'm pretty sure I would have beaten you with the archon toilet but my game spazzed out and it placed the vortex not where I intended it to be.

why is everybody SPAZZING OUT over the archon toilet

Joseph "master League" show linked this on the chat. I thought we all should see it. Boss plays.

Great comeback game with Mag, Donkey, AC9breaker and myself. Opponent dudes were pushing back pretty hard after our first attack, and I thought all was lost. But due to Mag's masterful leadership and charisma we pushed hard into their base and never looked back!

I guess I got bored. I went through all of the replays from this thread, and I realized that it is really remarkable how much better we've all gotten at the game! It was painful to watch some of our early matches... especially what I'm pretty sure was one of my first matches. Sometimes it's frustrating to play the game when we lose, but looking back, we've really come a long way. Let's get even better and kick even more ass.

Heart of the Swarm expansion details:



And teaser trailer!



FIND KERRIGAN!

Gameplay video!

Full interview. Little over an hour long, but really good information on the expansion and current state of the game.

Cool news. My computer doesn't shut off when I play SC2 anymore. I had an incompatible power supply for my video card, and that's why that was goin down.
