Starcraft II Retail Version - RELEASED

[PurplePoot]

Your entire post assumes that I am referring to literal 1:1 equivalencies, whereas I am simply stating that they represent similar ideas (such as expansions representing key points and map control).

I strongly suggest you look into the SC pro scene if you want some perspective on the matter; I don't get the impression you know, well, anything about it. Conversely, since I obviously have only played DoW at the inhouse level, I would be glad to watch one or two high level videos if you post them.

Here's a pro SC game. One of my favorite Zergs displays incredible micro here.

This is about SCII

IF you don't like the game, wttf are you doing here?

Me?I'm the one posting my objective ideas about the games and you quote my big post and reply with a single ''you'r ignorant''.How am I a troll?If i'm wront somewhere quote the specific text and write your arguments to support that i really am wrong.Writing ''ban this troll'' just because you can't argue with me without insulting just proves how you shouldn't even participate in this argument.

I think the SC video of some Korean gosu and the war3 video of Sky vs Moon was a good example for why SC and war3 are just light years ahead in coolness but im done with this discussion.

I think JD is pretty much everyone's favourite now that sAviOr has fallen from grace and July/YellOw aren't as prominent.

Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk.

Anybody got info about the date Heart of the Swarm comes out? Or whatever the next part was called.

 

[Deolrin]

Legacy of the Void is next, I think. And it'll probably take at least 6 months from now.

 

[Linaze]

Heart of the Swarm is next, and I would estimate the release date to slightly more than half a year.

 

[PurplePoot]

No, Heart of the Swarm is next.

Arguing about whether or not DoW or SC2 requires more "strategy" is useless because both games are well balanced, require significant amounts of APM at high levels of play, and have a variety of tactics involved in winning. No person could actually be considered so good at either game that they cannot be better.

I personally feel that starcraft is well balanced, mostly due to the fact that it has fewer races, but meh, I don't play DoW, so I can't really speak for it.

In short, you should all stfu and stop arguing over which one is better. I highly doubt that any of you have played enough of both games to really determine that. Furthermore, this is a thread about Starcraft II, so there's no point even discussing DoW. :\

You can't really say this:

Arguing about whether or not DoW or SC2 requires more "strategy" is useless because both games are well balanced, require significant amounts of APM at high levels of play, and have a variety of tactics involved in winning.

And then say this:

but meh, I don't play DoW, so I can't really speak for it.

But I agree with:

stfu

saying DoW is better on a Starcraft II forums is just trolling.

True. Also now that they posted this GomTV and such big prizes, I wanna see such prizes being done for DoW... The game is sponsored for a reason and is now the new best for esports no matter what DoW may have as better feature and what not. I told you (all) in the beginning, you shouldnt even mention a game that is not played as much as SC1,war3 or I guess now SC2.

Anyway i was playing it today. And i played two guys who spammed. Stalkers and roaches -.- Oh my gawd...... And they rushed me. when i was building my army defence. I really really hate rushers and spammers espically when they are mixed together.

But the game is a definte buy. Apart from facing people of your skill level is complete BS

 

[Anti_Bodies]

I'm 20 games into the practice league. I win most of the time. Trick seems to be make sure you can survive a reaper rush, have my SC2 iphone app to tell me what counters their units, and have multiple expansions. It seems like thats #1 reason why I win. People dont expand or dont expand excessively. I usually end the game with thousands of resources caz I reach my pop cap in those 2v2 games.

I also like to "toy" with my enemy to make the victory last. I feel the real leagues are a lot harder to dick around in like I do.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i had a pretty good victory in beta where i expanded quick but my primary base got void ray rushed

i just stalled him with cannons while my expansions were out of his site, then raped his base with mass zealots and his void rays with some stalkers

it was a pretty good comeback

 

[StormWarriors2]

yeah i just played a 4 vs 4
Void rayed rushed
Omg they spammed them the entire time.
and one guy spammed reapers.
Another spammed vikings. The zerg player spammed roaches
we lost of course.... but the next game i played. We owned. 1 guy was thors. 1 guy spammed vikings, and i was base defence. We basically owned. As i used everything in the techtree. I love siegetanks....
