Post Your Starcraft 2 Strategy



I've been mainly playing custom games like nexus wars, income wars, overrun, marine arena. But i found this strategy amusing:

My strategy is to not play computer games and do something productive instead. Unless you're building a website about Starcraft 2.

Not trying to be a dick - I realize we all need/should have a life outside building websites and making money. That being said, 2 quick points:

(1) I sit in a front of a computer all day for work. I'd prefer to spend my free time elsewhere.

(2) Computer games are addictive as hell and while they can be fun, it's easy to get sucked in and have them seriously infringe on your productivity. Especially when while you're DOING work there is a desktop icon sitting there begging you to click it. Trust me... I played way too many games of Sid Meier's Civilization (mostly 2 and 4). I'm a bit nervous when Civ5 comes out (this fall) because I'm extremely tempted, I know I'll get addicted, and those games can last days.

I just read this and seriously thought about not posting it since I am essentially just being a douchey thread-hijacking troll but I think it's a relevant warning to folks seeking interwebz success.

Carry on...

Im personally feeling less sucked in by games lately and more sucked into productivity. Maybe im growing older or maybe just waiting for D3 :0

PvZ My favorite match up, I get a quick Stargate and harass with Pheonix while teching charge for my zealots, the Zerg will mass Hyrdras to fight off the harass. Speedlots hard counter Hyrdras so I am able to either win right there or contain him while I expand and get High Templars.

I like the sound of this strat. How many Phoenixes do you build before you start harassing? And what units do you target? The drones?

It's growing older and a change in your time preference.

No rush strategy feels as good as making a nice income before you wake up each day. When you win a game, it only matters in the game world, when you make money, you can affect reality.

2 or 3 and I put the rally point on one of the Phoenix and continue to build 1 or 2 more depending on how well the harass is going. I'll take down the queen first then kill drones on gas, once they are out of energy I start overlord sniping.

Something to play around with is getting Blink stalkers and lots of DTs, with the Phoenix and Blink stalkers you'll easily be able to kill any Overseers that leave his base allowing your DTs to slaughter everything.

I thought Pheonix can't attack ground. So how do you kill the queen + drones, unless you bring in ground troops.

They have a power were you can lift them up into the air, it takes one Phoenix to lift one up and another one to kill the unit being lifted.

6pool! Best strat ever. Works against pretty much everyone except the top 10% of players lol.

Since you're posting in a topic about Starcraft, I figured I'd ask... were you in a WoW guild called "U Dont Know Me" by any chance? Long shot but I'm fuckin' tore up off dat Jameson.
 
I play Terran and go 10 Depot/11 Rax/13 Gas/15 Orbital into MMM or Mech for all 1v1 matches and 10 Depot/12 Rax/12 Rax/14 Orbital into pure MMM for 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 (I think the mobility of MMM is too useful to pass up in team matches). 4 Gate pushes are the nastiest right now, I used to get 2 Tech Labs/1 Reactor but have recently switched to 1 Tech Lab/2 Reactors because of them.

Grant.757 if anyone cares to practice 1v1 or do 2's, just add "WF" in the invitation message.

As much as I have been playing SC2 this is why this game is so gay. There are no objectives besides annihilation. You are nothing more than a virus.

There are tons of mods in the custom games that are a lot of fun.

Parasite for example is really cool, although after thinking about it I guess it is still just complete annihilation =P

Parasite is, conceptually, a murder mystery game. One of the players is chosen at random as the Parasite, whose objective is to eliminate all humans. The rest of the players are humans who must find out who the Parasite is and kill it. The catch of course is that no one knows who the Parasite is initially and there is no shared vision. Each human must decide who to trust and who to declare as enemies. Meanwhile, the Parasite can convert humans into spawns by killing them in specific ways.
