In games where NOBODY (on either side) leaves, my record is 42-3
In games where it's 3v4 (weaker on my side) my record is 8-5
In games where it's 1v4 (weaker on my side) my record is 2-0
Yes, the last case is quite fun. 1 guy drops so everyone else leaves and I stick around to win the game. It's quite hilarious tbqh.
US OR EU? if so i'll give you a game
US of course.
Why US of course?Quote:

I'm working on it. Early macro is easy, I just suck at scouting and I suck at macro after 5 minutes or so when I have to do micro and shit at the same time.Quote:

I still lolz at the early game void rushes, as if I'm not going to warp in stalkers and devastate it.
if you want ill teach you how to play protoss, or zerg. im not amazing at zerg but im not bad..
as for macro, there's just like, the little habits you need to get into like
-Allways chronoboosting
-ALLWAYS MAKING FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING PROBES ALLWAYSALLWAYSLALWLARWLERLAWELRLWAERLWALERLAWLERLAWER PROBES
-DO THE ABOVE
-MAKE PROBES
-NOT GET SUPPLY BLOCKED
-WHILE MAKING PROBES
i got from silver > plat in a day by not having a shit econ, you know, by making probes.
as zerg ill hit the 80 drone mark and be at like 5 bases which with queens injecting larva ill be able to make around 30+ units each larva cycle

You didn't need the cannons, you should've gotten your core earlier.Quote:

you did make a good amount of probes, like 2 sentires woulda made oyu win the game on the first battle You coulda FFed his ramp blocking the immortals then putting up Gshield to remove alot of damage
main thing is that you were 2 tiers of tech behind him the whole game, also, you should've used your probes to mine at the expo, not long distance mine, instead you swhould've taken anther expansion
you pretty much won from him not making enough units and and he had like 800 minerals the whole game and no warpgate tech
I need to get my core down first then a robotics facility for scouting and a prism to proxy attacks and to be able to build collosi if I scout the right kind of units. The upgrades can come later naturally with an expansion's extra income, 2 forges, research damage + armor simultaneously to make some of those loose resources useful.Quote:

I think the game would've been over in 10-12 minutes had I prism proxied in the back of his base (a scout would've revealed it was wide open), I could've devastated his entire supply line and taken down a decent chunk of his army and still been able to push more stalkers and zealots in to finish off his base and core/robotics. I'm getting faster with each game and pretty soon the opening won't start to overwhelm me so microing a scout right after that first pylon and getting observers and a prism will be pretty natural without leading to me forgetting about my macro and stockpiling resources (yeah, that loses you the game :o).Quote:

such a old game no offence..
Starcraft 2 came out around 2 months ago. are you fucking joking me.
oh and i just found out im ranked 4,000th in america. yay 900 point plat not getting fucking promoted to diamond because the promotion system doesn't agree it when i got 15-5 against diamond players YAY GAME
It's only different really, I just hate how a combination of 2 of lings, roaches, hydras, and mutas counters literally anything toss can make.. and by counters, I mean fucking pwns. I watch pros and koreans playing PvT and the games are fucking epic. I watch epic toss players in PvZ and the games suck, it's usually the toss being pwned by units sucking ass (woot Z>P which has always been the case) and being way more expensive than Z units or the Z guy losing because he fucked up somewhere or didn't scout well. But it's usually Z beats P, no matter how good the P is. Now's a good time to play Z since iirc, most people in NA battlenet play P, so it's easy wins. I played a dude yesterday who had 40 APM (vs my 105) and who wasn't even microing his units and in the replay was barely even using hotkeys 10% of the time, and all he'd do is counter with a ball of roaches, upgraded hydras, and a few mutas mixed in on each. I just left, it was retarded and I don't like turtle games. It was either... setup 10 bases, mass carriers and voids.. or leave and save 30 minutes of my life. I chose to go play the multitasker for those 30 minutes, a much better use of my time, as I'm getting close to being able to beat it on hard.Quote:

Cols and stalkers wouldn't counter it but a few immortals and 2 or so HTs to storm the back where the hydras were would've. Maybe even a DT or two, since he had no detection, they'd make quick work of all of it.Quote:

The problem is that almost always in silver it's you just being hit by a barrage of random google'd strategies and "tricks" from "build X this and mass Y that" to "6-pool" etc.. it makes scouting wholly useless at this stage. Basically, just start with a strong opener, hit them with a timing push soon enough to drop their FE or to kill their units sitting outside of the base (or case the joint to see what they've got going on), then control the towers and based on what you saw, mass a good counter because they won't re-tech, they never do. The only thing is most noob silvers will mass suicide cheese units first thing to try to kill workers (this isn't harassment, it's noobism). So you scout them, expect them to play like a noob, then they suicide units at you when you aren't expecting (before you get your sentry out to wall or split their army, as well).
The last 5 games I've played have been this:
5. [T] (NO SCOUT) Quick tech to marauders, mass them.
4. [Z] (NO SCOUT) Fast RW, mass roaches.
3. [T] (NO SCOUT) Quick tech to reapers, mass them.
2. [Z] (NO SCOUT) 6-pool.
1. [T] (NO SCOUT) Harass with banshees (non cloaked) then mass stim marines and medivacs.
Cheese all around. This is the kind of shit you see if you google shitty noob strategies. I'm starting to think that with my APM I'd be better off just doing the cheese 2-gate and 4-gate pushes until I'm in plat then playing like a non-noob. It seems like that's the only way to get out of this failshit.
== EDIT ==
I have confirmed. I started cheesing 2 gate push mass zealots + early forge in case I need cannons, continue to win just about every match. Fucking gay. I don't like winning like this.
collsus stalkers rapes roach hydra, same with hydra ling, and roach ling, and muta ling.
I suck, Team Games I've found to be quite decent at, especially with my mate in 2v2. 1v1 however I find that I have a mixed result lol. I play Terran btw.
Steppes of War - Raiana vs. Kirian - Replays - SC2Replayed.com
My favourite 1v1 game so far, as you can see. Noob! :p
I'm Kirian btw
Lol I just watched this again. It's amazing how bad I was. And at that time I do believe I wasn't using hotkeys for almost anything.Quote:

The cannons and other bad stuff came from me not using my resources, I sat on a lot of it and so I see tons of minerals/gas and think "oh I can afford to spam cannons!" when in reality I should have 30-40 more food in units and probably would've won the game with a push by then.
