gaming brain

shiet, got pawned by diamond team in 2 v 2.
this sux, ended my 12 team game streak

heres a few tips to get better in your game

1) keep making workers NEVER STOP!
2) Always make supplies NEVER GET SUPPLY BLOCKED
3) Keep your money LOW. MACROMACROMACRO
4) Always have gameplan b4 u enter the game and STICK TO YOUR PLAN. ie: i want make shitload of tanks and push when i got SHITLOAD of tanks.

4 really basic things that can easily improve ur game.

sounds so much like Day[9]

learned from him.

when all of your tanks come out.... shit load of void rays waiting for you...

1) no point over saturating the mineral line unless you have plans to expand and transfer workers
2) sub 100 supply getting block for short periods isnt as crucial as the beginning where you can ALWAYS find ways to spend your excess resources while being block and it is most of the time useful too. eg: upgrades
3) for minerals thats the case, however for races like zerg, if ur going mutas, that wont be the case as you'll be larvae starved to go mutaling combo. that, and pre-muta you will have gas stockpile. (similar scenarios may apply to other races too)
4) what if your opponent put a wrench to your plan? still stick with it? (eg: i plan to mass reaper, opponent only got stalkers, what do now? stick to reapers and hand him the game?)

but of course, it is basic things (rather, GUIDELINES) for a reason, the point being to not follow it blindly.

charged VRs >> stim marines lol... 1 shot 1 die..

really depends on numbers, the rays takes like almost a sec to "apply" (as in, the rays may be on the marine, but he doesnt immediately vaporize)
while marine stimmed, you get the idea. cheaper, easier to mass with reactors and all.

unless the voids are having cliff abuse advantage, the overall advantage favors the marine greatly. voids typically arent good to take out massed units that anti air after all. charge or not charged. and non charged voids, might as well forget it lol

5 unstimmed marines > 1 charged VR...
unless u cant focus fire, then the VR seemed OP

same mineral cost minus the gas, and can build much faster than the void assuming with reactor. hell, make it 6 cuz of the 2x pairs.

i used my 6 charged VRs owned 20++ marines before..

- zerg rush while u bz making worker at the begining = GG
- zergling swarm in ur base b4 ur tank out = GG
- baneling + zergling unload on ur tank = GG

Added on September 2, 2010, 10:08 amto the 3rd point, it is a havoc when reapers sneak into ur base and 2-3 shots your CC or Nexus or Hatcheries, then u will cry, no money to rebuild base..lol

i owned an entire terran base with 1 VR before...
doing it against a bad player doesn't make the unit OP...

people sending 1 marine at a time to feed ur VR or atk moving marines into VR when VR have range 6 to marine's 5

lol, i used to do that too when I have only 1 stalker (fast expand) while the opponent used fast VR rush that I failed to scout properly...send stalker 1 by 1 to feed them T_T

rally ur troops to a save spot, get some mass then go in FTW...
some even rally their marines right under my VR...
i really "

Sigh right? Haha.
Have to climb up the ladder also.

Just my luck. Always have to do it the hard way.

I would rather climb from bottom than starting high.
Cause I can practise more before meeting the pros and not demotivated by losing too much..

Yea. That sounds like me last time.
Later when I watch back replay I was like
What the hell was I doing...
