Saw some huskystarcraft's shoutcast,awesome.

The Korean games are much more interesting.

Zergling----> speedlings in eat stalkers for breakfast, that T1 upgrade does give zerg a huge advantage. I think to counter lings you need zealots or sentry for that forcefield wall thing.

eh is SC2 requirement more than SupCom2?

if the zerg would to just sit back, he would have lost the game anyhow (the common rule of zerg need to have +1 expansion over toss)...
there are videos which showcase how much map control would win u games (especially toss with their warpgates proxy pylons)..
a few stalkers in ur base -> u turtle while ur opponent with map control expand at will...
with the resources, he would have been able to tech up or even get collosus by the time...
and not to mention stalkers with blink could harass the main at will while u turtle on ur natural...
the stalkers caught the zerg off guard through wut the toss scouted...
observers > burrow...

u can blink up ledges etc (especially wit waypoint blinks)?
the toss player would have been able to use the terrain to his advantage getting in free shots...

the toss player chose the BO against what he scouted his zerg opponent was doing...
do remember his opponent is zerg, not terran and ur example just have too much IFs...
if he scouted his opponent going heavy MMM, he could go for collosus or HTs as those are better counters for MMMs...

in other words: wut u scouted -> ur BO

Even more expensive than getting it in Aus.

u need a SUPer COMputer to play SUPremal COMmander
how to put it...
zerg with 2 expansion = toss with 1 expansion...
so technically they are on even ground...
that's how the pro players define zerg (both BW and sc2)...

Im seriously expecting the CE sold at RM350 plus. Probably RM380,max.

If not,i might as well get it in Aus. RM440 for a game. Thats the most expensive game i ever bought in my entire life.

Previous teamliquid thingie, how previous? There are very low odds of not using Queens in SC2. You may start as a 14 hatch and 13 pool or just a 13 pool directly. They did use the queen right at the start even during presentation of playable SC2 in Blizzcon.

Generally Protoss should optimally stay 1 base ahead due to the defensive mechanics of Terran however in SC2 the course is strongly different due to the Immortal. It shuts down all Mech based play entirely. Bio play and other variants of Terran openings are being seriously difficult against 1 base Protoss at the moment. Discussion is still ongoing on how to counter without changing balance but are generally implying longer one base play.

From what I gathered, possible release date is during the summer of USA this year. I highly doubt it though due to balancing work for PvT and ZvZ.

seriously zerg without a queen at the current stage of beta?
usually 1 queen 2 hatchery with a creep highway between them...
unless its a really really old replay with crappy BO...

the whole zerg ahead by 1 expansion was said various times by the pros, not me...
lots of korean replays have zergs going for a fast hatchery with 1 expansion up losing games...

if u watch most replays, toss could hold on with less expansions due to the sheer power of their units despite their prices (watch hasuorb's games especially)...
protoss dun go throw units away unlike zergs despite especially with their shield mechanics and supreme choke point control...
and toss going fast expand is really suicidal since 1 zealot cost like 100 minerals? u wont be able to defend ur fast expand from harassments even with chrono boost which is an eco slowdown from the 400 minerals u need to have that nexus up unless its a PvP...

i think PvT DuskBin.Marksman sums it up really well...

A very intresting game played between Nazgul and TheLittleOne, TheLittleOne was a Supreme Commander top 20 player, now playing Starcraft 2 competitively. His play is everything but conventional SC2 build, unlike other games in SC2 you acctually see how a nuke is being used effectively.

Yesterday played a game of 2v2. My teammate hebat, the game start and he ask me to build units quick and i thought he's a pro and going for rush... I went and crippled an enemy but lost all my units and then saw him flying his CC over...slowly land down and build planetary cannon...
I was like dude...did u not think that they wont be able to see u from miles away while u're flying over and will they wait for your stupid upgrade to complete next to their base ? End up his teammate kill him cause he was too focus on this with had not much units to defend and I couldnt help much with mine being rebuild after the assault.
Its a gg after that. I cant believe still got idiots like that in game.

where do u guys pre order in malaysia?

IIRC, Blizzard implements region lock for SCS2, which means that you'll be playing in the US server if you purchase it from Amazon.

From what I've read, Blizzard did mention that those in US will not be able to play with Europeans. If you want to play with players of other regions, easy, just buy that region's StarCraft 2 & voila, you'll get to play with your happy friends.

If Asia were to connect to China it will take 10 sec for your command to response cos of the Great Firewall of China, and those who do not have localised version will see???????

Aus I guess will be US.

But I heard that there will be a singapore server for SEA.

i tot i never get the starcraft invitiation seems i didnt bought any original games from blizzard?

Whats your nick on bnet? identifier?

You requested for source on region lock, that's what you get. People are expecting that Blizzard will raise the bar by allowing players from all over the world to play against each another. They're basically trying to kill of LAN simulators & non-sanctioned competitions / leagues that utilized their products. No flying spaghetti monster, no iCCup, no KESPA. I sincerely believe that's the very reason they removed the LAN capability in StarCraft 2.

Yet, it looks like they're punishing the players by putting up so many limitations. When we play games "online", there should be no boundary that separates us from the rest of the world. They wanted to eliminate all the aforementioned factors, yet they don't really have a solution that benefits us players. Now, this reminds me of The Burning Crusade's "You are not prepared!"

How lagging would it be for us to play on US servers?

I thought in WC3 you can change server regions? Rather than locking into one.

Still,why dont they allow the players to connect to other region's players? What would happen if you stay at the border of Europe at Asia,when Korean, Chinese etc players are so far away from you compared to Europeon players?

Damn,thats quite high for a game like SC2.

Starcraft 2 Monthly Fees In Russia
Source

Dunno what to say about this,as it feels a bit like double edge sword.

The good thing is,you'll get a cheap localised version that comes only with MP. Not everyone wants to play the campaign. Probably getting good pings too.

The bad thing is, loos like another attempt for Activision Blizzard to milk the franchise dry with monthly fees. If they can charge 25USD for a flying mount in WoW, whats stopping them for putting a monthly fees for SC2 else where in the world.

Seems like Blizzard isnt the same as before. Getting greedy. First with 60USD standard edition,and 100USD CE. Now these.

not the first time folks spending lots of money on virtual cosmetic for their avatars in the game.

guild wars also got manyak virtual comestic clothes for sale.

i know a fellow lyn forumer who spend usd25+ on some sexy lingerie lulz

It's up to you how you see all these.

From what i have seen, Activision Blizzard just want your money.

Sure the mounts dont do anything,in terms of gameplay or as bad as MW2's map pack. It's still quite steep for a virtual item.

question:
who actually is hell bent on getting a starcraft 2 retail box copy once it is out?

how many people actually wanna buy sc2, real hard?

aah where u order from oh?
i thinking about buying in bulk then distributing to fellow gamers in lyn.

I doubt Blizz will make a Starcraft mmorpg, since WoW is so popular now. Starcraft mmorpg might overcome WoW 110% for sure. I least i will switch to Starcraft mmorpg

maybe is Diablo MMORPG .... 

possible right? ....
