SC2 HOtS.

[Cowboy Moment]

While mucking about in bronze league after stat resets I like to try winning by building nothing but probes and cannons. I'll of course get the armour and shield upgrades for my probes. Anyway, the bronze leaguers are so pacifist at the start, and bad at everything else, too, that it's almost possible to win by doing this. Cannons can defend well enough and two hundred 0/3/3 probes can function as a decent field army against,like, 10 marines and a medivac (or whatever bronze leaguers muster). But a problem arises when going in for the kill, which is that it's basically impossible to get probes up the enemy ramp. You have to rely on surrounds to kill anything off, even with vastly superior forces and upgrades, so being forced into the narrow confines of a choke is an assured failure. That is why I can only almost win, but not quite.

Using zealots instead of probes is noob shit. decline of bronze league.

Allow yourself to build warp prisms as well so you can cannon offensively.

I think the best game would be a Terran who uses entirely widow mines. Just think, they are like photon cannons that can move, have splash damage, and are invisible.

You can't do that, they don't attack structures.

So a spine crawler would simply poke at them. And spore thrower would provide recon.

hots: drop battlehellions into each others bases and win once the other guy does something else

That's where the SCVs come in, of course.

you may have just revolutionised the bronze league meta game

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Hots just came in the mail

Edit: raw what is your acc? I can add you

Or you can add me, herostratus 376

 

[Kane]

raw

 

[Zed]

is it possible to play custom games over continents now?

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Need ur character code too raw

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Gotta say the new hellbat is fucking ridiculous. If the enemy has blue flame hellbats you might as well just stop making lings, because even two or three can kill any number of runbys. With 2 upgrades the hellbats oneshot lings in a cone. Oh, and they also trade equally with roaches due to their ridiculous 100% splash. And they are a mineral sink, and don't die to aoe because of ridiculous HP. ffsBLIZZAAAAAAAAARD

So I bought hots last week. Got placed in bronze league, moved to silver in a few days. I play protoss and it feels OP (yeah, what do I know, I'm in silver). Anyway - against protoss I have sth like 20% win rate, with terrans 80% (proxy oracle every game ), and around 50% with zergs.

139 i think

watch this yo

Flash
Innovation
Life
Parting

Pretty much 4 best SC2 players gonna duke it out.

 

[DeepOcean]

It's getting tiresome hearing those commentators sucking Innovation cock so much.

He beat one of the best players in the world. He just is good at what he does.

I know that he is good, defeating Flash and Life is no easy feat and he deserve appraise but those commentators are really annoying. It's not enough saying that the guy is good you have to suck his cock for two entire matches. The match between Flash and Parting, it was visible that they understimated Parting and entered Flash fan girl mode.

Have you seen commentators commenting any sport? Well, more dynamic ones like football at least. They always overreact its what they do and now it begins in e-sports too. Its a direction things will move forward too - more like real sports with semi professional commentators. Hate it or love it there is no alternative right now.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Works great on my 4,7" LG L9. Controls are good enough.

But then again, I was always a "CASUAL" mouse player who didn't know any shortcut in SC/WC3, so I guess for those players it would be pointless.

Still, an incline of popamole devices.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

There's a guy almost in GM who plays SC2 with an Xbox360 controller.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

American world championship is hilarious a guy kills 20 drones in early harass and still loses a drawn out game It's better than bronze league heroes.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Speedling researched...

At 21 minute mark :patriot:

^ American world championship

 

[Malakal]

Ha ha ha, what? Seriously? I saw Flash concede after he lost 10 workers to reaper harass as he assessed hes too far behind. Gotta watch this shit.

What game, which players??

Hm, this happened two times (while I was watching). First, Hendralisk did an all-in vs taeja and managed to kill 25 SCVs with a couple banes. This left both of them with three bases, tho hendralisk obviously ahead. Taeja attacked him with a 8-10 marines and a couple of medivacs, and used his vastly superior micro to trade extremely efficiently. Hendralisk sent his army like a small trickle, and his 1 by 1 blings were easily focused. He also completely forgot, for some reason, to upgrade, so by the end taeja had 3-3 vs hendralisks 1-1

The second and third times were drunkenboi vs tilea or soemthing, a tranny from NZ. drunkenboi harassed her like crazy but never managed to do anything beyond that. He was also notorious for letting his siege tanks tank, something which of course you should never do.
