It's still not something I'd expect with someone and their massive apm to do, lol.

hi guys,
i just finished playing starcrat 2's campaign and am trying to build my skills using the versus mode. My biggest problem is not mining the minerals its using them. I forget to use them to build my army. So, I have 6000 minerals or so while my army is getting crushed. I was wondering if there is a way to continuously produce units in a set order automatically. like 3 marines then marauder, then tank and repeat.

Use ctrl+1,2,3,etc and set your production buildings in hotekys with that you will be able to manage your production while attacking or defending, you need to match your production buildings with your economy too for example 1 base 3 barracks, 2 base, 6 etc...

1 base 3 rax marine scv all in and 1 base 6 rax marine all in are pretty easy to do

Upgraded marines are pretty powerful against most things. Not everything, just most things.

High dps, very squishy, quick to hit critical mass.
But marauders man!
I recall earlier GSL days people would marauder drop to snipe key tech structures: spire/forges/robo bay. By the time you react it would usually be too late.

That was when structures had like 33%-50% less hp though.

Anyway, just got promoted back to Silver. No more playing with people who don't know how to rush at 5!

Provided your opponents are dumb enough not to build Colossi.

[Ithekro]

Unupgraded Colossi against marines with +3 armor and +3 weapons?

[Archon_Wing]

You can't base strategies and scenarios on assuming your opponent is retarded*

*Even though that happens a lot

[shaolinx]

shinishiwa games are so awesome... even if hes not the best zerg!

My friend mass marined his way into diamond - mass marines is all he does: and it works.
Early marine deathballs are really scary!

The many openings that terran can use makes them very hard to play against: 3rax marine scv all in->bunker contain->6 rack marines->hellion drop->fast cloak banshees->hellion into banshees->marine scv tank banshee raven push->12 marine drop....

Haha, half my wins against P's are heavy marine based play. 2 base 5 rax 1 techlab rest reactor and just stim 1a into the P natural. +1 wep upgrade, +combat shields optinoal. They won't have collosi nor HTs in time. You are however, mighty screwed if they go DTs. And you will probably not break if they a 5gate heavy gateway style, skipping collosi entirely and using robo only for observers which is slowly getting more popular...

Can work against T as well if they do a siege tank opener.

Don't think it will work against zerg though cause of banelings >.<

[Flying Dagger]

(why did ace get a name change O.o?)
It works vs z if you catch them drone pumping, you need earlier pressure. I showed the friend the marine split challenge map and he can handle banelings "decently well".

DTs shouldnt be that much of a problem if you already have EBay for +1. Going for fast DT also cut into sentries, which I believe is the key to stopping all sorts of marine shenanigans =S.

I can imagine the face of the guy when all of his VR got destroyed =P

Many tears.

I once has a mass VR phase... until... I realized how fast these things can die. So sad...

[Hooves]

Being so bloody expensive, yet dying just like that is quite sad.
