Starcraft 2 Beta

[dewkl]

I got two "friend keys" in my email I think, so I can invite two friends. I think they just sent out a lot of keys.

[Mephasto]

So Dewkl, were you part of the second or third invitation wave?

I could use one key also, so i can annoy you with the overpowered zerg roaches. I have been playing sc beta with the Easylaunch, but i have to say beating the A.I gets boring very quickly.

Send invite to sauli.s@hotmail.fi if you like getting beating by zergrush.

When did you guys get your friend invites in your email? I got access to the beta a little bit ago but haven't got any... anyway...

Currently im ranked in the Gold League, around top 30 for 1v1.
In 2v2 league, im ranked 1 in my Silver League. (GOD DAMNIT I WANT GOLD D:)

All with mai protoss <3. (fking pylons)

I love the protoss, i find them to be amazing if you micro them correctly. The only thing that really sucks about protoss is the constant need to scout and get information on your enemies. With protoss, they have a very strict play order. The robotics line cannot do anything vs AIR, but the AIR line for protoss gets raped by anything mass-anti air. The need to scout for constant information such as a Terran stargate, or zerg fast expanding into Muta is ESSENTIAL. Im not saying we dont have some lolin builds like Cheese-way or Proxy or fast expand DT dropping, but at least its counter-able, (unlike those damned early game roaches >_>) lol.

Anyways enough about that! Im a pretty good player, and if u guys are around a lot in SC2, and are around my ladder add me in game! I love to 2v2 and expand my friends list.

I'm downloading this beta right now

I never played StarCraft as I have always been a WarCraft man myself. I prefer micro over macro. Wish me luck, I hope to see some of you out there.

Just pre-ordered, apparantly I'm supposed to get my key tomorrow. Have already played on a friends' account though.
Pretty fun despite getting owned constantly. I find it quite hard to strike a balance between economy and building up an attack / defense force. Like all the teams equally though I slightly lean towards Zerg simply because they're cool.

I picked this up like two weeks ago but forgot to post here.

Liking the game so far, but for whatever reason it's the first game that got me worrying about losing. Maybe it's because there is no world wide internet database for CS players which shows you vs world. Oh yeah did I mention I suck balls at it too?

Anyway, I play Protoss all the time now. I tried really hard as Terran at first, but I failed hard since it requires much more strategy than other races. I don't really get Zerg so I tried Protoss and have been loving it ever since. I'm rank 41 in Copper, and so far 3/4 of my wins were by chronoboosted Zealot duo rush. It doesn't always work, though.

For example, just now I had my opponent viking rush me. He just made vikings. Lots of them. I had zealots, and as someone rightfully pointed out on some page, Toss units are pretty restricted to their fields of operation. I had nothing against them, except photon cannons which were mostly at the ramp to prevent an infantry rush. his vikings took out quite a few of my probes. What I did was (and I feel kinda smart for doing this) I made a warp prism, and sneaked out one single probe (he was guarding the exit with Assault mode vikings) on the other side of my base and planted it in his own neighbourhood. I built a base with that probe (I suppose I could have won the game if I just rushed the zealots I had and a bunch of stalkers, he only had a few marauders. On the other hand as soon as I would leave ground units, he would land the vikings and take out my base.) but continued to mine with my existing probes. I didn't have many because he took out the majority with his vikings. I didn't really make any units at all, heh, so I just had to resist the constant attacks with one single army that was decimated every single time I was attacked. On the side I tried to get his base with void rays, but time pressed me so I had to do them one at a time, and a s such it wasn't much of a difficulty to take them out with his vikings. Anyway, when my second expansion was done (I made it on a high yield) I came back with the warp prism, waited till his viking wave fell off so he didn' see the prism, and picked up all probes but 2 or 3. I deliberately left some so he would think I am still trying to mine here. I got my probes on the high yield and started mining and I built a Dark Shrine - and guess what came. I FUCKING LOVE DTS MANG. I made two, put them on that warp prism, went to his base and UNLEASHED THE FURY OF DARK TEMPLARS. Once he realised there was nothing he could do to stop me, he rushed my base with all his vikings and marauders. Bad move. He didn't know I expanded, and while he was busy taking out a depleted base (well I had tons of buildings too, but with DTs in place I couldn't care less) I just blew his shit apart with my DTs. And won the game.

YEAH I'M HAPPY I WON A TIGHT GAME SO I CAN'T STOP TALKING.

I have another "DT saved the day against all odds" story (one where the other guy was so sure he is winning he even said "gg" expecting me to leave the game HAHA) but it's for another time.

I'm vcool.vcool btw, and euro people can't find me because battle.net restricts you to regions. If you wanna own someone, add me and, well, own.
