Got another beta invite as well.
Kinda hurting on cash… willing to give it out if anyone can donate a little spare cash my way >_<
Zerg have always been my least favorite race, but that doesn’t stop me from still loving what
they can do. And in the hands of the right player:
The best burrowing you might have yet seen:

Spine Crawler
The root time has been increased from 6 to 12.
Spore Crawler
The root time has been increased from 6 to 12.
Hahahaha, Blizzard. You’re fucking retarded.
wow phoenix>all air now
as it should be
My poor protoss 
My poor protoss
Haha no. At least not like that. Blizzard fucked that up BIG TIME.
Apparently Protoss is baller now. Like Protoss vs Terran is pretty much free. Early Voidray into 3 Gate push is destroying Terran for free, reports Europe (tournaments are being won with counter picking Terran as Toss and doing that build).
Does anyone want to have some games with me right now? I’m still learning the ins and the outs and I’ve got a pretty good feel for most of the beta maps. I just need more practice. I’ll be probably Protoss most of the time but I’m still trying new things like with different unit mixes n’ stuff. I’m on right now…

Dude I’m not even gonna bother reading that. Why can’t you just post normally?
ZvP on Kulas. I’m upper right, he’s lower right.
So I scout early forge and cannons at his choke and say “lol”. I double expand at my rocks and natural, get to 200/200 +1/+1 Hydralisks and go in for doom drop at the back edge of his base. At the same time I take my 4th. I run into critical mass +1/+1/+1 Void Rays plus a Mothership (lol). I focus down the Mothership but lose hardcore to the mass Void Rays. He kills my overlords and I get supply blocked, so he steamrolls his way into my now undefended base and kills me.
FML.
Scouting is THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS important.
Nigga, why didn’t you sacrifice an overlord into his base? 
Still though, mass void rays and a mothership on 2 base(?) is pretty lol.
He just tries to troll people all day with that shit.
Anyways, that patch is fucking retarded. That phoenix shit isn’t even remotely fair and I don’t quite understand why the spore/spine crawlers needed to be nerfed. Whatever.
These nerfs to zerg are killing all my drive to play this beta. I’m just going to start playing once the game is released, so I don’t keep getting disappointed.
SMH at the infestor bullshit. :shake:
From what I understand, spine crawlers were nerfed because in ZvZ players were sneaking an early drone into opponents base, building a hatchery in a hidden corner, canceling, and making a spine crawler on the remaining creep. zerglings really don’t do well vs spinecrawlers, so I guess they figured this will give them time to respond.
With the buff the Ultras, I will try to start using them. I think I’ve only made them in 2 matches so far. :crybaby:
The only trolls here are you two. Just stop already. I’m using forum preferences. Like a shitload of others. Get over it.
BTW, the Protoss have been continually getting weakened by Blizzard over the last 4 patches, the Phoenix move/fire is nothing to worry about. I main Protoss and I’m still wishing they had more…
~K.
It’s not just that, basically zerg could tech straight to mutas/hydras and ignore anything because they could simply build and shift spinecrawlers to counter everything except air. It really was stupid that they were that mobile and made it too good. They’re still good, since you can shift them as the game progresses, but now you can’t rely on them for sole early game defense.
The phoenix thing is cool, but its not that great in my experience. Definitely a fun change, and watching them do reverse flying while attacking is sweet.
Im more interested in what Ultralisk changes they’re planning
Edit: Just ignore people who feel the need to post in special colors via the forum ignore feature, it denies them the special attention they crave
The ZvZ shit isn’t why they nerfed them at all. Furthermore, that’s a huge investment for Zerg. 300 + 100 + 50 + 50 - 2 drones is a HUGE investment. Not only is that a huge mineral and economic investment, the other Zerg can just pump out mass Zerglings and face roll into your base. Furthermore, you wouldn’t be able to cancel that proxy Hatchery considering creep does not form until it is complete. 
Like Pimp Willy said, Blizzard felt that Spine Crawlers were too good for static defense early on. I just wish Spine Crawlers built faster. It’s pretty god damn rediculous that I can’t even build Spine Crawlers in response to an early push, even when I see it coming out of their ramp.
The Phoenixes attacking while moving IS something to worry about it. It’s stupid as fuck because it doesn’t require any kind of micro skill to do. It would be fine if they only did that with attack-move, stop, hold position, or patrol micro, but the fact that they can just fly around while the player does HURRRR MASH RIGHT CLICK LOL IM SO GUD is disgusting and a disgrace to Starcraft. Just imagine if SC1 Muta micro worked that way. I’m pretty sure everyone would rage quit. Even if you don’t compare it to SC1 micro, the fact that it does not require any effort by the player other than mashing right click is terrible. I’m pretty sure this won’t end up in retail. TeamLiquid was raging pretty hard once this change was implemented.
Ultras are definitely beastly against MMM… they just saved me in a real close match. if you have enough to get a surround, the marauders don’t stand a chance. I can definitely see Ultras / zerglings / banelings being a late game strat against Terran. The lings run superspeed on the creep to get the surround, while the ultras and banelings do the real damage.
lol I finally won a free SC2 beta key through a contest. We basically had to say why we deserve a beta key. This is what I wrote:
mgl0x9 <---- was the guy’s user name. I said his name and thanks at the beginning in bold to grab his attention from all the other dumbass posts on that thread. A lot of those people are completely new to SC begging for keys. Got dammit I’ve been playing Brood Wars and waiting for SC2 for a while now. Actually now I don’t really even have time for Starcraft lolz… SC2 will just fuck me over with my busy schedule.
wow, phoenixes are so dumb now. I just watched 2 phoenixes slide around and snipe my friend’s overlords. mutas can’t do anything. I hope zerg figures a way to beat this cus right now it’s a dark age for them lol
also anyone crashign when you exit sc2 beta?
