i'm not saying he was good or anything, i know he was bad and we both did a lot of things wrong and i didn't fly over his base even after getting ovie speed, mostly because i knew what he was doing but i should have anyway.

i dont need to be told how to play zerg, how to flank or what i should be doing at what time either. i remember how to do those things but my execution and mechanics are significantly weaker than they used to be. if i dedicated myself i could get back to high diamond , hell i could even beat some masters players with my zerg when my mechanics were solid. i'm just rusty after not playing any 1v1 ladder for what was 3 months or so. an hour or two with a masters zerg and i'd probably be back there even quicker.

i just posted the reply cuz i liked the game. if i wanted critique on my play i'd ask for it.

first game on cloud kingdom!

started with being contained, ended with me countering massed cruisers with marines, pdd and vikings. some sloppy play and the signature long runtime of TvT but them's the breaks, as they say.

i really like that map

first season blizz has added all good maps

Played a 2v2 placement with a friend
I played terran
opponents do a 1 base timing with 15+ units each
I have 2 ghosts and a marauder, my team mate has 5-6 gateway units
I nuke our own ramp and kill their whole army
they then contained us on 1 base for me and 2 bases for my team mate for the next fifteen minutes
then we push out and win the game


how are people this terrible

[Sinitron]

yeah how the fuck can your terran macro be so bad you only have 3 units vs their 15

[cipher]

Because I have literally zero idea how to do a ghost rush and can't play terran for shit on top of that.


edit: Oh yeah, I was also building an expo (which got killed). I still suck though

is that an actual blizz map or was it one of those TeamLiquid competition maps?

[rtil]

neither of them are blizz maps
and that's why they're both good

zvt shakuras mech vs roach/bane (excuse my horrible micro AND macro): http://drop.sc/115719

I like the changeling on the cliff. I am surprised they overlooked it considering they never had drop tech.

[rtil]

i also rediscovered a changeling that has not morphed can still hold a xel'naga tower :o

[Gladius]

killed a mutaball that outnumbered me 2:1 tonight

and i didn't even need to use this

The icon actually looks more like something for the Tempest's ground laser.

now that you mention it, it does look like heart of the swarm content that they just threw into wings of liberty for now

goddamnit blizz why you gotta be so lazy

[rtil]

maybe this means they threw out the tempest

[Sinitron]

i've been doing a macro cheese in a few team games on my euro account

1rax expand into 10rax mass marine/scv

if done correctly you can max out at like 15 minutes or something silly like that with constant production

barrel down your enemy's throat with 30 SCVs and 120+ marines with stim, combat shields, and level 1 ups

it's really funny against fags who mass void rays and shit in lower league

they move out with a handful of elite units, and get shredded by a massive swarm of marines

the bulk of it hits late, so good players can stop it with hellion/tank, well-microed colossi or infestors + maybe burrowed banelings

but if it catches someone off guard there's just so much shit for them to deal with it's not even funny

even if they get a deathball going, they can be flanked and overpowered with sheer numbers in open ground, forcing them to turtle (and allowing you to expand and tech to whatever counters them if necessary)

i also have an apm of 100ish while doing this dumb shit LOL

[Sinitron]

in the games i've been doing so far, the biggest threat has been my own fucking idiot allies (who are also all bronze/silver) not moving up on fucking ramps if they get there before me and losing a lot of units

i got pissed off at one of them and shot his units to pieces first so i could stutterstep up the ramp faster to shred what was on top of it
