In Starcraft 2 news:
HuK has been signed to EG, and is rumored to have a 6 figure salary.
He will be staying in Korea.

Team Liquid is rumored to have signed a protoss to replace him.
(My hopes are on it being Ace. Kid's got amazing phoenix micro.)

Starcraft sucks.

[C0FFINCASE]

I haven't followed any of the pro stuff in awhile. Pro games usually blow my mind.

You suck.

Cause they're ridiculous.
I usually watch casts to have people break them down.
Day[9]TV is pretty awesome, and enjoyable to watch.

[Stapled]

You suck.

Zig zag please.

[Kain]

Zig zag please.

Micro your macro broski.

[C0FFINCASE]

Whats you username so I can look you up?
Also what league are you in and what rank. My bonus pool dried up and I'm not jumping up like crazy any more but 15 in silver today, hoping for top 8 tomorrow and somewhere in gold by end of week.

[Omlett]

what does this have to do with anything in this thread?

I'm a high-ish silver as Toss, but I might be switching to zerg.
We should hook up for 2's.

[C0FFINCASE]

I too play Toss, I've contemplated zerg but I've got a pretty bitchin rush I do that transfers easily into several midgame strats that seems to be kicking ass.
We'll have to do some team games though. I've got this friend, thats in diamond and all that shit on 1v1 and 4v4 so we could rule 3v3 with him maybe.

My only issue with switching to zerg, is that I suck at heavy macro. I've got high-Diamond micro, but my macro is basically made of fail after the first 5 tpo 6 minutes.
It's not a big issue as Toss, but as Zerg, I'd be fucked.

[C0FFINCASE]

I'm all about macro, my mirco is lacking I just arrange shit and send it in. I actively pursue strategies that don't involve using abilities so I don't have trry about them and to counter micro players I just look at their army makeup and pump out hoards of counters.
Terran makes no fucking sense to me and the only thing I ever see them do is mass marine and marauder and then medivac them on your head so you have to push hard for collosi and sentry. I repped zerg hard in 1 but I haven't played with them much in 2, minus the challenges. I'd be the bastard that 6 pooled all the time though if I did. In the beta I void rushed like a mad man but they nerfed them hard so I hate to do that now, even dt rush is lame since you have to go mid game and hope there are no detector.

[Kain]

Why do you have to hope for no detection?

Cloaked or not, DT's do shit loads of damage.

Terran makes tons of sense to me, but it feels a little too easy.

If they're detected it feel like they're worthless. Then again they are pretty hard to kill without serious forces.
I can use Terran, its just boring? The tech tree seems stupid, I feel like it branches out into all these dead ends of useless units. I don't know. Reaper rush, Marauder rush, tanks to defend.

Marines + stim = 1a

Who needs a tech tree?

Thats so gay though...like 6 pool or two gate.

Doesn't stop all of them from doing it.

I know. I use two gate like a bitch, no one ever expects it.

I'm a forge fast expand into mass blink stalker myself.

I don't even build a forge half the time. Stalkers take too long, they're my back up if rush fails plus quick immortal or 2-3 void sneak attack.

The thing with the Forge FE is, you can grab your 2nd, 3rd and 4th gas at the same time, and support 5-gate easily.

Stalkers start piling up, with a few zealots to give ramp vision, blink up the ramp behind their army = win

5 gate, ugh. 750 minerals, that's like 4 stalkers and a void ray. I like warp in stuff but I generally tech quickly so I end up two gates whole game with robo and stargate pushing out counters to whatever while supporting with stalkers.

I've always tended towards gateway units, unless it's a Terran turtling hard as fuck.

Then i'll bust out double stargates and go for constant phoenix harass.

[C0FFINCASE]

Ok, have you noticed the unit AI being idiotic?
My zealots keep ignoring ramps and running into cliffs while my void rays kill one thing and then come running back to my base.

Yep.
The voids is possibly from just being triggered by the enemy being within attack range, which makes them come back after killing it.

Zealots are just stupid.

(not as stupid as scarabs)
