Blizzard: Starcraft 2

[RockmanZero]

Nope. Not even close.

 

I'm on Silver league. These guys are on either Platinum or Diamond League. I'm not even on Gold league yet. People in Platinum and Diamond leagues are advanced players. And I hope I don't get to play with them

[Guest hastati]

I see. I saw the names yet no name rings a bell. Is Diamond League worlwide or only for Asia?

[RockmanZero]

As far as I know, Diamond league for NA Battle.net is different from SEA.

 

Here's the top 200 for NA:

[Guest hastati]

Ok. In terms of level of play, who's better? The Diamond leaguers of SEA or NA?

[RockmanZero]

I can't say who's better between the two.

 

But I still bet koreans are the best SC2 players.

 

And they're not included in SEA.

[Guest hastati]

I wish I could play against a Korean so I can watch the replay and know his tactics. My opponents in practice games are usually Australians/Thais/Singaporeans.

I would love to watch koreans play. But I'd be too scared to play with them

 

Here's the best Zerg player I've seen so far. The Terran player is also damn good.

Wish I could play like them.

Haha! This is the Metalopolis stage. Terrans are usually the preferred races of my opponents in this stage. The dude was using only zerglings as defense and offense. Pretty good.

[RockmanZero]

Seen the second part?

 

Hell I didn't even thought of using Overlords as Baneling bombers....

[Guest hastati]

I was concentrating more on the zerglings harassing the reaper and the scv. Do you have the conclusion to this game? What league are they from? Southeast Asia ba?

[RockmanZero]

Koreans yang mga yan. And Korean server, so wala sila sa SEA.

 

Nsa right side ng site yung part 2 nyan. Nsa may related videos.

Nice. By the way, is there an SC1 champion? If yes, from what country?

[RockmanZero]

I don't have any idea on SC1 champions. Uso lang nun kasi laro laro lang nung lumabas yung SC1 nung highschool. hehehehe

 

Naging interested lng ako nung lumabas yung mga magagaling na players ng Korea.

[Guest hastati]

I was victimized by a cheezy player. Haha! Establishing photon cannons in my base. Anyway, before I started a game in a league, I was ranked 74. Upon winning, I shot up to 49. Puede ba yun?

Yes. Nsa scoring kasi yun, ndi sa win/lose rate. Kaya mapapansin mo may mga maps na "favored, slightly favored, even". Pag mas lugi ka sa map at nanalo ka, mas mataas points mo.

 

Before, I was ranked 64, then after winning 2 matches, I jumped to rank 50-ish.

 

Cheesy players b? hehehehe..

 

2 ginagawa ko sa photon cannon rush s base:

1. early scout, if you see a probe warping a photon cannon, k*ll it.

2. maglagay ng defense near your comm center (spine crawler, bunker), para ndi na magexpand ng photon cannons sa base mo - limited lang sila on a certain perimeter outside your base. Then you can build transports or air units tapos ibackdoor mo.

 

Kung tutuusin mas malaki magagastos ng mga cheesy players kakabuild ng photon cannons sa base mo, which renders their own bases defenseless.

 

I've been cheesed 3 times already. Gnawa ko lang nagbuild ako ng spine crawler around 7 cells outside the hatchery, para ndi na dumami yung photon cannon palapit sa base... build units until I have a Nydus network, then scout sa Nexus ng kalaban, release a Nydus worm... GG.

 

Pero actually mas mahirap magdefend sa Zerg. Terran should be easier.

Nakita ko nga yung replay. Walang kadefense-defense base nya. I also went up against a cheezy player pero Terran sya. he tried to build a barracks inside my base but after I destroyed the scv and the barracks, hindi na sya nagattack. Ako naman ang nagattack tapos ubos sya. Haha!

Tama. That's the way to go against cheesy players. hehehehe

[Guest hastati]

Just an observation. Usually when a player builds up forces to attack, that player ignores base defense, hence, it is easier to attack him early with banshees.

[RockmanZero]

It depends on the strategy. Spending half of the resources for units and half for defenses makes your attack force weak against an opponent who spent all his resources for units.

 

Common mistake din yung pagiging overdefensive sa base.

 

Pero majority, puro units tlga ginawa due to mobility, unlike kung magoverdefend k.

[Guest hastati]

The thing is if your opponent is a quick unit builder and builds a particular unit en masse in order to attack you, chances are you'll lose if you'll play a game of attrition. I learned my lesson the hard way when I was taking on an opponent who didn't really attack and waited for me to attack before attacking. He had 24 banshees to attack my base with and I only had a handful of thors and siege tanks to defend my base with coz he annihilated my 12 battlecruisers with a battalion of marines. Had I known that his style is counterattack, I would have just nuked him with an endless barrage of nuclear missiles. Yung masakit pa dito sa game na to, favored ako pero ako pa yung natalo.

Better to scout the enemy base first and try to see what unit he's building. Then build a counter for it.

 

For me, the best Terran anti-air ground units are marines

[Guest hastati]

^ I just found that out yesterday. Haha! Usually my counter is the viking or in SC1, the wraith. If only the banshee had air weapons, I wouldn't use the battlecruiser. Hehe.

[RockmanZero]

Try mo din yung Challenge mode, mapapractice mo yung unit combination for specific enemy units.

[Sneaky&Discrete]

As far as I know... Cool is the best Zerg player and STC is the best Terran player being casted on HDStarCraft. Even if they're good... they're not even a part of the top 20 players. The top Korean clans don't share their replays but since there's an upcoming tournament this September in Korea... look forward to the replays that will come out.

[stainted]

i think tlo is pretty good too
