He can carry us until the very end.

Then he'll quite out right before we make the other team GG.

Only if they have hallucinated void rays or he's just defended a drop and is in a commanding position.

Or if his opponent just finished accidentally shift clicking his own expansion

What race are you Joe?

I've got a friend that's quite a bit better than me that plays random. I'm sure he'd play whenever too.

Cool.

Sticky, Panzer, what're your codes? Unless you've already added me? Not been on all day. Should be on later if anyone is around. Twitter is a good way to reach me if you have it as it sends a txt to my phone, which is pretty much always at my side.

I'm not good at SC. I'm just as good playing random as anything. I favor zerg though (And I still suck).

sc2 right moew

We should start and set some times to get some games in. Are we all on Steam? We can use that to see who is online atm, I guess...?

The times I can really game are from about 10pm EST through the night. Send me a message on XBL or check SC2, I'm almost always on one or the other.

Ok, cool.

My steam is always on.

Gonna do some laddering tonight. Think I might just 'gg' through my placements and go bronze. I hear the NA bronze is hilarious, so I want to have some fun before I start moving up.

If anyone is on later, just send me a message.

Ended up playing properly (but not very well). Faced a few bronzes though, they truely were awful, lol. In fact, the only thing I've done well today has been my forcefields

LOTS more reaper usage over here. I was prepared for most, the exception being about 8 mass reapers that hopped in and focussed down my nexus. The rebuild time cost me the game. Managed to get colossi out and it was a close battle.

I think I might have to start getting my robo earlier whilst maintain a lot of unit production at the same time...?!

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I just played so frickin' stupidly and threw a game that I should've won easily.

Playing against a Bronze Terran (Rank 3, hundreds of wins) and I can see why he's bronze. He did early marine pressure but I'd scouted it, so got a second gateway before cyber so I could crank zealots in case he pushed early. Ended up having like, 6 stalkers, 6 zealots and 2 sentries to his 20 marines and I crushed his force. Advantage me. Knowing this, I expand, get a twilight council and forge, get blink, charge, armour and then weapons one. During this time, he does a massive drop whilst my army is at my natural, I A move my forces to the back of my base to deal with it but it paths them th wrong way and it takes 3 times as long to get there by which time, the nexus is gone, the forge, the cyber, some gas and pylons. Still, I've had my natural up for ages so I'm still ahead. Plus, I have a pretty hefty force left, so I decide to counter....this was the move that would cost me the game. He had like 16 marines and 2 medivacs, I went straight up his ramp, lost everything and only killed about 8 marines for it. He waits for a few more marines to pop out and then comes and kills me. Even my 1/1/1 chargelots were powerless against stimmed marines and so many medivacs.

So, here's what's killing me -

1. The pathing incident, obv. That said, if I had hotkeyed my army, it probably wouldn't have been an issue.

2. Why the f*ck, did I not decide to sit on my base advantage and tech up? He only had marines!!! Collossus or Templar would have been an insta win.

3. When I did push out and had no expo, why did I not decide to contain him? I had no obs, I didn't know what was up that ramp! Stupid.

Mainly, this was an experience thing. I should've been more prepared against drops. With the advantage I had, I could've afforded a few stalkers to guard the back.

The tech was what killed me though. I was floating enough minerals to add on the Templar archives, I already had the council and decent upgrades. Going Archon/HT/Chargelot couldn't have been more obvious! Hell, I could've taken a third, cannoned the f#ck out of it and put up robo's and got colossus too. Even if he got his eventual second, I could've pressured that and he'd have been sooooo behind.

So, yeah, in summary.... UGH!!!!!!

I hate losing games where I know I'm ahead at some point. There's a pretty big following of terrans that go only marines (with some ghosts) for TvP. It works surprisingly well if you can keep the Protoss Collossus count low (1 or less).

If I ever go marine medivac (I usually either have marauders or ghosts also) the thing I least like to see is a few collossus backing an army.

Yeah, colossus are awesome, especially with thermal lance and +1.

Marines seem to be a bit like Mutas, in that, you have to reach a critical mass before they become especially powerful. Like, early game, stalkers will wipe the floor with marines, then later on, it's kind of a different story. Zealots always pwn though. It's like 50/60 shots to kill a zealot, lol.

This is true. I always want to punch myself in the face when I see upgraded chargelots.

Especially late game, when they're 3/3/3...lol, insta destroy a mineral line worse than blue flame. Especially post-patch.

Here's a PvP I should probably have lost. Well, I say that, it's easier to fix mistakes in hindsight, so, yeah...

Did some laddering on the EU server this morning. Did a video of a match I particularly enjoyed. Went 1 gate robo (bit risky PvP) and faced of against a 4 gate. Defended my ass of, then exploited the weaknesses of the 4 gate with some nice warp prism harassment whilst amassing a high tier army...

Macro could've been a lot better for the majority of the game but I was focussing elsewhere. Took a ninja expo because I had enough minerals to risk it and I felt an expo at the natural would weaken my defensive position. He probably could've shut down the harassment with a few well-placed stalker but I was so far ahead in tech, I doubt it would've mattered.

Anyway, enjoy...

well I got fucked , aka new account new some info , need some names to add again
