My 400th Win on StarCraft II


I was Extremely bored today, so what else but play Starcraft 2 for a few hours. i don't know these people on my team, they are just random, so yea, judge them how you will, but i basically did a classic Terran strategy of marines and marauders , upgraded attack, stim researched, and medivacs, with a few vikings thrown in to counter motherships -.- a few people went mass stalkers, so to no surprise, i came out as the top score for this match, since stimmed marauders just eat stalkers for breakfast, but then again, they probably couldn't handle my extreme skills lol.

The Amazing Comeback Kids - 2v2


Ravage and I played some 2v2's today, and in this particular game, found ourselves with our backs against the wall from the very beginning. With my own main base nearly obliterated and Ravage holding on to a single thread of life, i began my quiet ascension to power. The enemy army consisted of upgraded hydras, zerglings, and a protoss mix of stalkers, dark templars, and colossi. While Ravage courageously held the line with a good combo mix of Protoss units like stalkers, sentries, dark templars, and some zealots, i began my assembly line of tanks, soon, in perfect timing, i had at least 10 tanks, Giving him full control of my army, I continued to pump out units like a well oiled assembly line, to back up Ravage in a final battle. After which, the enemy crumbled to our prowess and put up little to no resistance. They eventually fled, in part because of fear, and the rest from rage.

Me vsTelos


A few days ago me and Telos played a practice 1v1 game out of sheer boredom. Early on I managed to contain Telos inside his base while i gained and economic advantage. After so close calls from drops by Telos, he managed to break my containment and head for my base. Unfortunately for him however, my economy was too strong and I was able to pump out stalkers and colossus until I went for the jugular. All around gg

Another Intense 2v2 game with Ravage and I



This was another close game with ravage and I on sc2. It was probably closer then it should have been because ravage has been playing as zerg. For nearly dying in the beginning, Ravage came back to help me pull off a profound victory...

Guide: Terran Part1


In this guide i'll be covering some of the basics of the Terran race.


Buildings+Management


Each race in starcraft2 has a fundamentally different method of building. In this regard the Terran's system of building may seem more straight forward than the others but has its own intricacies. Supply Depots are the Terran's method of increasing and maintaining their supply limit. Each depot raises your supply by 8, allowing you to produce more units. Also each depot has the unique ability to submerge into the ground to allow units to walk over it, giving the Terran's the ability to wall of their base without any drawbacks. ( There is never a reason why you should not wall as terran). All of the Terran's main combat units can be trained from the barracks, factory, and starport. Consequently the 3 types of Terran units are bio(infantry units ie. marine), mech(armored units ie. siege tank) and air(air units ie. banshee). Also each of these buildings can be bolstered by the addition of either a tech lab or reactor. The tech lab opens up higher tech units as well unique upgrades while the reactor allows two units to be trained simultaneously.


Basic Army Composition


The terrans have some of the most micro intensive units in the game. For this reason any new terran will likely want to build with two basic army compositions in mind. The first is known as MMM(Marines, Marauders, and Medivacs). This combination is effective in nearly all situations with the exception of Aoe(Area of Effect damage) The only upgrade truly necessary for this army is stimpacks two boost the attack speed on both the marines and marauders. At the same time it keeps the medivacs in line with marines and marauders. The second strategy is simply MM+Tanks(Marines, Marauders, and Siege Tanks). Stim pack isn't as vital in this strategy so much as siege tech on the tanks. In this army of the majority of the damage is done from the siege tanks in siege mode while the Marines and Marauders provide cover.


Staracrft2 glossary part1


micro-micromanagement of indvidual units

macro-status of economy (If your macro is very good, your resource income is very good as well as your ability to produce units)

rush-early attack

MMM-marine, marauder, medivacs

6pool-early zergling rush

counter- after or while being attacked, attack your enemies base

gl hf- good luck, have fun


Thanks for reading i hope to have part2 up soon where i'll cover unit roles as well as few buildorders
