lol Kespa. And why did they put Kespa in charge if they aren't gonna participate.

Geniuses all around.

Flying Dagger · 2011-09-27, 14:51

Because kespa is in charge of all the other games.
It is no secret that broodwar is near its twilight as it becomes more and more difficult to find sponsors, and its viewership rating in non-championship finals have plummeted.

hi guys,

i just started playing in starcraft and am in bronze league. I have a couple of questions.
1) what is the easiest way of breaking a terran turtle as protoss? i usually just keep expanding and send waves after waves of zealots and, while that happens, send void rays at the back of the enemy base.
2) how to counter banshees with cloaking. i send phoenixes with an observer but usually the observer is to slow to catch up with the banshees and so i cant take them out.

yeah, so if you can tell me pointers on how to handle this it would be awesome.

Maybe you could attach a replay so we can see? I can't tell from your description whether or not you're sending them up a ramp without vision, whether or not you're charging bunkers; etc. Use this website:

i cant upload the file. it says there is an error parsing your replay. but yeah, i generally use the ramp to get into the enemy base. i know that people use an air unit to gain vision of the high ground and blink into the enemy base but i find doing that pretty useless. this is simply because the enemy army will crush the stalkers soon after you blink into the base.

A turtling terran in bronze usually mass tanks and hold his natural. Robotics units (immortal and colossus) both work pretty well against them. You are doing the right thing by outexpanding the turtler. You may also want to do things such as using a warp prism to warp in a handful of chargelots into his mineral lines, or using an obs to gain vision for blinks stalker to harass mineral lines.

Since you seem to like starport tech a lot, vs a very low number of tanks (3-4) you can simply lift them up using phoenixs.

It is quite common in higher level play these days to make 2 observers, one for scouting one to keep near your base/army. Vs banshees I find that a single cannon in mineral lines + blink stalkers do a good enough job (I do not usually go starport tech vs T unless I am doing 3gSG). Cannons have larger detection range than firing range.

Vs mass banshees you may want to consider getting observer speed at the robotic support bay.

Oh, feedback works very well vs banshees

John117xCortana · 2011-10-02, 11:04

Are there any mods for Starcraft 2 ?

Flying Dagger · 2011-10-02, 13:53

Some, such as changing unit models or menu background pictures - or do you mean custom maps?

Mods are generally not supported - SC2 should be a game of skill and not who have the better mods.

John117xCortana · 2011-10-04, 10:32

Not even custom fan made units ?

Who · 2011-10-04, 13:04

Those are found only in custom user made maps. Well, unless you're Strelok playing against Revival in IEM Guangzhou. 15 damage marines.

With 7 range too, lol.

BTW, here is the silhouette of Terran's new unit in Heart of the Swarm. What can it be????

Xion Valkyrie · 2011-10-04, 23:59

It Seriously looks like one of the new gen Pokemons.

It looks like a medic. But considering we have the medivac maybe some kind of techy like Swann in the campaign was?

Well I was thinking about the shield in the left hand and stuff. Firebat is another that it won't be because the Hellion replaced them. That's why my bet for something like a techy or combat engineer.

Jaden · 2011-10-05, 04:41

It's like a marauder that can transform into a hellion. Then the original units will be taken out.
That's my guess anyway, because hellions and marauders were kind of boring

Qikz · 2011-10-05, 05:55

Hellions are not boring.

Also, you badly need concussive shells to deal with mass chargelots.

It has a shield, a powered weapon (I am guessing railgun) and some sort of gun/sensor above his head.

I am guessing it is an Ultramarine.

Skane · 2011-10-05, 11:30

It seems to be dual-wielding shields.

Hmm...
