yeah we tried with a mix of

MMM+viking
M+thor
chargelots + colossi
and some weirdo mostly going ghosts and nuke harass XD

and it worked rather well for us.

Weirdo here:

It worked well for us, when I just kinda did not micro units, just pumped out reens and thors. Then I just made ghosts, micro'd those, and did a good job of pissing off 4 people when my team attacked.

it actually did work as a low cost harass, except in that last game where they hit US with it

For Maelstorm. It might not look like alot, but a ton of photo filters later we get some good shots. I personally like the one without the face. Really, once I got the background done of her back side, it just looked good like that so I had a tough time actually bringing myself to add anything else. Anyway, take your pick.

SC2 sigs are much better

No problem, glad you like it. The second one does have a certain appeal to it!

Dammit >.> Too much Starcraft, can't differentiate between the front and the back anymore

Just had a really good match against a damn good zerg player, I was terran. Map was blistering sands. I start out traditional, walling, well he got a scout in and saw that I had no gas yet and only one barracks going up. I scouted right after that and saw that he went fast expand. He didn't bother to check where my SCV went though, so I threw up a bunker before his fast expand could make it out. Dropped 4 marines in and took out a ton of zerglings and his newly minted hatchery. Sent in 9 more marines into his main where he had a ton of zerglings and a spine crawler waiting and killed my marines.

Next wave I sent 17 marines and he was up to roaches and banelings. I figured well hell, I have a ton of gas and an expo, why not get some banshees. 5 banshees and a wrecked mineral line later, he rage quit. Even with putting that pressure on though, he almost matched me in resources and units. I would hate to think what he would have done to me if I hadn't taken out his fast expand.

He was a silver 1v1, but plat in 4v4, so I feel pretty good about that.

 

[Fourstaff]

Ah, the classical bunker rush. My 1v1 against FE zergs have been revolving about that strategy, opening with 2rax "foxer style" into bunker pressure (if I can get the bunker up), and pray that it kills the hatch (which will almost mean autowin), or pressuring more zergling and spinecrawlers out than necessary (delaying their drones). I usually expand after that. It works against Diamond zergs, don't see why it wouldn't work against silvers and golds.

 

[Mussels]

bunkers are fantastic if you can get them in unseen.

 

[Fourstaff]

They are still fantastic if your opponents see them, it causes the lesser players to panic and mismacro. Oh, and 3,3 marines are imbalanced:

Check the battle at the 13.30 mark.

Not really, DT's are a scourge against marines. I found this out the hard way. I had something like 150 3/3 marines with stim against Mussels and a void army. I waxed the voids, but he had about 9 DT's and wiped me out.

In that match, he screwed up by not upgrading and not getting chargelots.

mostly cause DT's can one hit kill marines, 30 seconds with 10 DT's and no detection = lots of dead marines


on little thing i like to do is send maybe 2 DT's at a time so that they waste scans until they run out, then send the rest in and finish them off.

After i got my 2nd expansion fully SCVed, i stop calling in MULE, and i ONLY use it when energy is capped.

Protoss will need HT and/or Colossus to counter MMM build effectively. Even if Terran only use MM and if Protoss don't have any Sentry/HT/Colossus, you will still lose in term of DPS and mineral/unit.

 

[Volkszorn88]

Imba 3/3 marines? lol

Any unit is imba when you're light years ahead in upgrades.

 

[JC316]

Really starting to like using MMM's. Such a pain in the ass to deal within the sub 10 minute mark. Just destroyed a gold 1v1 and plat everything else player. He tried to reaper rush me and it didn't work out worth a crap. Up to 17 in my league, hoping to get promoted to gold soon.

 

[mlee49]

Nice work JC!

Anyone gonna be on later?

 

[Fourstaff]

Hmmm, I realised that reapers are so underused you probably can get your money's worth out of them everytime you build them, be it scouting or worker kill. I almost always open with reaper vs toss now, its just so effective. 2rax against zerg, and iEchoic against Terran, my favourite matchup .

Yeah, I have used reapers to great effect. If they are upgraded, they are badass. So fast that you can kite with them and the damage they do to buildings is unreal. I just thought of another badass use for them, to counter banelings. They are so fast, they should make mince meat out of baneling blobs.


Also, I am going to be late tonight. Never miss supernatural. Be on in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I host fortheswarm.org, feel free to stop by sometime.

Hey didn' you stream a while?

Any chance you could give some Zerg tips for bronze random players? I cant seem to keep up with macro'ing 4 hatch's. Micro isn't too hard with a nice flock of Mutas or ball of Roaches(kinda like Marauder's).

Also, are Hydra's a good mid-game unit? Seems like they need upgrades to become versatile.

Zerg has been craptastic since they removed the Hydra speed and made them require a lair. Zerg has dick for anti air until a lair comes out.

Terran total of 250 mins to get anti air out.
Protoss total of 400 mins.
Zerg total 450 mins and 250 gas.

That is total bull shit. Sure the queen can defend against air, but not very well. The hydras aren't even worth it anymore. They were the best all purpose unit of the zerg and now they are worthless. Better to spend the money and get mutas.
