Yeah, trouble is one bad game can doom you. I played with a co-worker and we got silver because he screwed up a game. Had we won maybe we were gold or platinum. I wish they did larger sample size.
For anyone that is a fan of e-sports, in less than 1 week IEM in Katowice Poland will start where there'll be a lot of great SCII action. I just saw the bracket and it's uttterly amazing. In the first round we have Innovation vs Life, my personal favourites of the tournament. If I had to bet for top 3, I'd go with Taeja, herO and Innovation.
just joined the game yesterday-starter edition its awesome!!! watched few games:life vs maru finals and bomber vs scarlet were my favourite i'm not able to use hotkeys very well yet though,also no ladder for me beat all AIs...they were as easy as the AIs here
Well, Elite AI is not completely easy if you don't abuse it (always fails to defend harass and cheese). Yeah, maru vs life and bomber vs scarlett are already classics. Btw, IEM Finals in Katowice are ongoing now. Already some great games hve been played.
just kept my macro better than AI's it stopped worker count at some point and tried to engage with me,i had him overpowered by marines and few flying medics(always forget what they're called) and won easily
Well, if you can keep your macro better than Elite AI easily in your first games, you'll do very well. Also you can add me as friend in SCII EU sserver, we can finally make a warlight group + if I keep you in party, you'll have access to Heart of The Swarm.
EDIT: I just read that in Starter Edition yuo can play only vs Very Easy and Easy AI :P I think you'll find that 5 later levels are more demanding :P.
Bump! Guys try this game! It's free, you need decent connection and good pc for avoid lag. It's one of the best games i ever played. (Warlight atill be the best though :p )
I fell firmly on the Total Annihilation side of the TA versus SC fence a few years ago when they were competing for players, so I've never played any installment of SC. I don't get much time these days, but when I can spare an hour or so I'll give the game a try on the strength of these many recommendations.
I'm also going to consistently bump this thread. The more players get involved, the better. Also Legacy of The Void beta is starting in less than 2 weeks time! If I had to compare Starcraft 2 to anything else it'd be bullet or blitz chess. A lot of strategy, but it also (or maybe primarily) requires impeccable mechanics, commiting multiple orders per second. For every fan of strtegy this game is a must, without a doubt the ultimate rts game.
I tried to add Gnuff last week, no luck. Looks like I have to change regions to add him first, which sucks because I can't see when you guys are online. I will get on sometime Thursday to play. SZE/gnuff, if either of you will be on let me know, otherwise I will stay on NA server. Gnuff has me on skype, if you have skype please send me that SZE (via PM/mail here) and I will add you. I think that would be easiest way to coordinate on a given day, since I don't want to sit on europe server.
