STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

You don't play even close nor does anybody on this website come close to as good as a semi/pro sc player.

One of my korean friends is semi pro, he goes in tourneys and stuff. Hes amazing. I play every once in a while, but im not that good. I remember when my comm tech class played my friend 7 vs 1, and he beat us all lol. He played 7 comps and it looked like nothing for him.

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

Anyway, I heard that July won the EVER Starleague recently, 3-0 vs Best. He also got a Golden Mouse too, iirc. I'd say that's pretty impressive. =O

Haha hell yes. I watched the whole thing on YouTube (commented in English btw). July went friggin' balls-out and 5pooled on the very first set.

Then he did a ****ing pimp drone drill in the second game and during the match, the camera cut to Bisu with his jaw about the drop to the floor.

p.s. if anyone wants to watch it in English, here's the YouTube author that commentates on a lot of MSL, OSL, and Proleague games.

The commentators don't own the VioleTak account, but their own account is in the subscriptions ... diggitySC and moletrap and KlazartSC.

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

lol @ Bisu. xD

Some of the things that the pros do in SC are completely insane. Unreal, imo. If you guys haven't watched the Pimpest Plays collection, you should go do that.

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

Back to me

i was thinking about a zealot,dt, and sair combo. sair to rid of observers, zealots and dts to get the choke. Amounts of each, i'm not sure


-edit-
i'm mostly playing zero clutter right on. I'm trying to figure out how to:

1. build buildings faster
2. build units faster
3. recall better
4. manage anti air
5. manage ground strategies

If anyone can help me on those topics, that'd be great. zero clutter imo provides an excellent place to pratice building stuff as well as ingraining into my brain what units needs what tech. It'll also provide a game that i can practice defeating turtling tactics as well as mass wtfhax ground rushes/air rushes.

What i don't get is how toss players build their entire fortress in seconds. I review the replays and at first, they build three pylons, wait a white for tech to build up, then in a blink have a fortress of cannons, gateways, and stargates. soon after, the goon army builds up out of nowhere and crush me D:

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

Yeah starcraft is one of the best games ever made. I use to play it all the time at school =)

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

I used to play, but then the expansion came out and I didn't feel like rebuilding my strategies.

[Xception704]

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

The expansion came out so many years ago ... haha.

I doubt anyone here could beat a progamer that could only use one hand. You'd still get stomped all over. Check out the latest episode of TLAttack on the YouTube nevake account. Sea[Shield], who isn't even top five in Korea right now, completely stomps over everyone he faces without even trying.

Is anyone else a sAviOr fan? I used to be and still am ... but I can't bring myself to watch his games anymore. He's slumping so badly and sucking so badly that it's unbearable to watch him anymore. =(

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

Don't worry Xception, Ma Jae Yoon was just promoted back to CJ's A team. A few weeks ago he was demoted to B so he could clear his head and get back in the game, and now he's back.

Savior fighting!

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

HAHAHA I JUST read the article on TL.net.

OMG I'M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU SAVIOR. GO KICK ASS AGAIN.

also, I'm ****ing pumped for Boxer's return from the military ... should be back sometime in November or December.

... which means the Pimpest Plays list will once again be dominated by him. =)

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

is feedback an AOE type attack?

i found that zealot rushes, about a group of 10-12 would be enough to take out an entire force of tanks. By the time the terrans realize that I broke through their tank defense, i'll already have goons on the way to finish them off, not to mention my allies would dig their lurkers or what not into their skins as well

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

I do agree with starcraft is one of the greatest games ever made. I use to play it all the time at school.

zc games are usually no rush. Don't make any units until you have 50 miners and 3 workers per gas and a ****load of buildings. Start upgrades really early so that your fully upgraded for all units before times up. Then max out. ZC is easy and retarded

Re: STARCRAFT does anyone still play it?

Feedback for wraiths? Pretty unconventional strategy, if you ask me. You have no idea of telling how much energy the wraiths have. Plus, you've got to make a bunch of dark archons to do it anyway (4 feedbacks per dark archon, 5 upgraded) and they don't have any other significant use vs terran.
Also, stopping Terran observers won't do anything if the guy actually uses comsat. >_>

They still haven't released a 2007 Pimpest Plays, have they? It's pretty far into 2008 already...
