Make sure to keep your upgrades up-to-date, and you don’t necessarily want to engage head-on all the time. Flank them and wear them down and use Zerg’s superior macro to rebuild until you grind them down.
After the last set of patches, Z isn’t as overpowering as before so I guess they feel weak ;[ Probably need to use more banelings/infestors rather than smash into them with roach/hydra all day now.
But yeah I dunno, I laugh whenever a Z tries to ram a bunch of roach/hydra/muta/ling into my mech/marine army and the entire Z ball turns into goo. Banelings and early mutas give me trouble but I haven’t really lost any straight up TvZs lately, but I haven’t played against any good or smart Zerg players lately :V
All races (in theory) should be at equal footing early or late game. It’s not in design that Zerg are supposed to be strong early game and weak late game.
I havent used Banelings much only because i dont like the idea of suicidal units. Since you mentioned it, im gonna give them another shot. But when will it be a good time to start using them?
Lame, so about a month ago my battle.net account got hacked, more specifically my world of warcraft account. Funny thing, the account has been inactive for over 2 years. It looks like what happened is somebody got my e-mail address and password (using somebody elses compromised computer), they used the e-mail to either change my password or somehow looked up my password, and then went in and used my account, which ended up getting it banned. I never followed up with the steps of filling out forms and e-mailing my id, because I don’t plan to use the account. I changed my e-mail password and that was that.
Well, turns out they went in recently and added a mobile authenticator to my account, for some reason, even though its still inactive. Thats one of those little keychain things that tells you a number you need to log in. So whys that matter?
Apparently, blizzard incorporated that feature into SC2. So now because of something with my inactive world of warcraft account, I am unable to log in and play and SC2 beta. Sad because I was really hoping to get some games in : (
Welp… I made it to rank 1 in a plat division! Someone give me a cookie…
I’m surprised that I’m doing so well in SC2 givin that I did not have any knowledge of SC1 and Brood Wars. I wish I had played SC1 YEARS ago when I was wasting time playing Diablo and Diablo 2… I would be a well known player by now making money playing this game…
so whats the new range on emp? I emped 5 templars, they were covered in blue, then I got stormed…
I think I’m at the part in teh ladder where a lot of people cheeses to get there. So annoying. Hopefully I can make it pass this stage and get to the good part of the ladder.
I’ve never learned to play Starcraft, with that in mind, at this point in time what would be the best option in getting started? Can I learn by playing the original or are there enough changes in Starcraft II that playing the original will only be detrimental?
lol. what time do you guys usually get on? I’ve added everyone but I’ve only seen dualface on bnet. Anyone know any good zvt broodlords replays? I wanna see what’s possible with them.
yeah they take way too long. Thats why I just wanna see a pro game where they’re used.
so how about the upcoming patch 13? nerf on toss and a slight buff for terran. BIG stuff happening for zerg though. Imagine a couple of frenzied ultralisks raping your toss army. So scary!
Cracklings nigga? BW strats but with a better Nydus so you can avoid fighting at chokes? Fighting at a choke/wall seems to be the problem with Ultras being too big/bad pathing. Problems with Ultra’s though…
Not good enough for Hive tech
Brood Lords are still 1000% better if/when you get to Hive anyway.
I may be missing something, but I see a lot of people complaining about TvZ mech. Zerg totally need to work for it, but I really don’t see how it’s unbeatable. Somebody open that up for me.
Combat shield and stimpack research cost decreased is awesome. Can start doing infantry drops even faster now.
Frenzied ultralisks just seem like the perfect unit to counter stalker and marauder balls now. 15+25 to armor then you add the 25% buff from frenzy - that’s 50 wide splash dmg to armored units without upgrades on a tanking unit.
This might get me to play zerg more now. Wonder how they will do against terran mech.
