Is anyone here still following brood war scene? I am curious about Starcraft 1: Brood War current metagame. Well, mainly because of fast expand in SC2.

Is zerg/protoss/terran actually go for fast expand in BW? Because in SC2, zerg definitely will go for fast expand as opening unless it got interrupted by a pylon or engineering bay and etc.

What is the popular strategy that now being used in every BW match-up? I am really curious about that, as well. As for race Opness, which race actually leading in Korea now?

There is no OP race is broodwar, the only thing that makes win/losses different are maps and player skill. People fast expand all the time cause everybody is too good at defending one base builds other than cheese.

lol IMO there is OP match up. its maps that are balancing it...thats why map making team is important....like ZvP. blizzard no longer fix BW, so they need the map making team to fix the balance....

lol no, protoss cant survive with 1 base against zerg hence FFE, 1-1-1 terran hence 1 gate FE into robo.

no, terran cant survive against zerg with 1 base. in higher lvl, basically its at least 2 base. unless some shinenigen rare all ins...

Actually terran can survive against zerg with one base, theres this build called 2 port wraith where you survive with only one base for extended periods of times while getting critical masses of wraiths to deal with zerg. Normally we don't do that cause you basically end up playing terran like zerg and doing muta micro while macroing which needs about 300 average broodwar apm to work efficiently.

Action starts at about 7 minutes in


Even I go 1 based builds most of the time as I can't seem to outmacro any player that has more apm than me as I don't play the game often anymore doh.gif .

You actually have a point about races being imbalanced. At one of the finals, forgg aka OGSfin practically destroyed jaedong (his teammate at that time) because the maps were very terran biased. Even then some players like Flash and Jaedong trained so hard that maps became a second thought as times as they would still win in race specific biased maps.
