The blog title is misleading - it should probably read something like 'don't diss any build just because you beat it', or 'A build is more than just memorizing the build order so don't criticize it when you beat noobs executing a build order but failing at the build' but both are a bit too long. Even then, I don't even think my full title will be seen in the preview. Oh well.
I'm referring to this thread in the TL forums where the now-famous Spanishiwa shared his no-gas ZvX BO and drew about... [Read More]
Suffice to say its been a long year so far starcraft wise, I have gone from bronze to gold in both 1v1 and 2v2, met some people, got modded a lot on TL for stupid reasons and really felt that I have got a lot better as a player.
Conversly Uni has kept me flat out lately, I have had a lot of bs going on with different people within my course due to the amount of group work involved in my degree and other things have complicated timings of things such as my F1 ride I got at the melbourne gp.... [Read More]
This is a shoutout to local Singaporeans to support an old gf of mine, Rach. If you can make it to Bugis this Saturday 2:30-5:30, we both would really appreciate that you would vote for her. Top 5 makes it through. See you there
I hate it when people discuss balance without taking into consideration the skill of the player. Why? Because when people discuss balance there are always bias arguments about the adjustments that need to occur. For instance a Zerg player is more likely to say that Zerg is under powered and a Protoss is over powered, where in the reverse situation (Protoss on balance) assumes that both are fine. I just feel as though it starts unneccessary arguments about the game and it provides... [Read More]
Was doing some thinking and came to this conclusion - If you are a newbie starting off in Starcraft 2 and have absolutely no preference for race and just want to start playing the game, pick PROTOSS.
A brief examination of the different races shows why Protoss is the easiest race for a new player to pick up. This is NOT the same as saying that Protoss is the easiest race to play - at the highest level, it's really quite different, and there are differing opinions as to which race is the... [Read More]
So I'm new to the site and am not sure if this is the right place to be putting this but if not let me know and i will put it elsewhere. I have been playing Starcraft 2 since December and having not played any real RTS multiplayer before was inevitably put into bronze league. I made it to the top 9 of my division at the highest point but was never able to move up a league. I've heard that its hard and you just need to keep winning etc so i will just keep that up.
SO! As many of you may or may not know, I am one of the main culprits behind the #foreverbronze tag :]
In the past 2 weeks, I have gone from losing 8 games in a row to winning every ZvT and ZvP in bronze and silver that has been unfortunate to cross my (fast expanding) path.
However, this is not the case for ZvZ. When I play against another zerg, whether they be Bronze #1 or fresh out of practice league, I am always doomed to lose. If I go speedlings first I get hit headon with banelings. If I... [Read More]
This'll be my first blog, on something I actually care about.
Yesterday, I vsed nGenWorkeD for the 2bh KOTH that went forever. Earlier on in the night, I'd beaten SiF and some other guy whos usernmae I cant remember. So I had been going okay that night, but most of the games were kinda weird.
When I was vsing nGenWorkeD, he did a cannon rush into a forge FE. In repsonse, I did my nydus speedling bane allin, but screwed up the rally points and also had the nydus behind his mineral line,... [Read More]
So I guess blogs here will be a good chance to get some promotion to my videos and such, but thats for another day.
Just gonna test out the blog and see what its like, seems good so far and I believe this will be the 3rd person to blog! Amazing stuff, no?
So yesterday after some determined laddering I finally got my place back into platinum. After being demoted to gold via a 16 lose streak, I managed to claw my way back. But I still believe its going to be a hard fight to stay here.
My... [Read More]
