My big question is, how do you know which units to attack singly or go all out (if thats the right term)..?

Think of starcraft as rock paper scissors. This counters that blah blah, so if the game seems to be going late game I generally try to a bit of this and a bit of that. Generally works out since they won't have anything to counter unit A if they massed a single unit. If you're playing a P v P game and you know your opponent is going Void, build stalkers and sentries. Bye bye viod ray.

i was 73% on plat league before i do campaign... now that im finished with brutal mode and all gold on challenges, im thinking going to for the 10-win streak that elude me; guess what, i got my 10-streak... 10-losing-streak >.< auto refinery and fly-in supply depots really spoiled me...

Yeah, Heard that slang as well. Its apparently a rush in the opponents teams area with cannons and just straight up building in their base.

Damn youth and their slang : P

A cheese is often known as a cheap win, where you may lose at the expense of not scouting. They often require great sacrifice and can often result in a loss if not unsuccessful.

Well, I did not build a single building outside my main base, I did go with dual gateway/quick zealots though but that strategy will not put me far behind if it doesn't win and scouting will limit the effectiveness but not prevent damage.

I think that as the expansions are released we'll see some of the stuff from the campaign added into the multiplayer. The reason they haven't added it in yet is because the zerg and protoss don't have their uber upgrades yet. I hope this is the case because that predator unit is fun! :laugh:

Anyone did the In Utter Darkness on Brutal? That thing is just impossible. :/

dark templar wall off 3 entrance, then mass phoenix; build a crap loads of cannons inside your production area

once the carriers became buildable, mass build carriers

after the initial 4-5 waves, send the observer closer to the zerg spawning point; if you see overseer(s) actively snipe them down with phoenix before they start coming in, then retreat your phoenix. if your observer die, you must send another one in to replace it

beware of the multiple entrance attacks, you will need to split your phoenix group up to kill the overseer from both spawn points

when the pressure became too much (when one DT wall is broken down, and hopefully you are above 2k kills; my wall broken down at around 2.2k), retreat ALL of your troops - including the DT walls - to your main, give up the lower area. group around the mothership for stealth, then continue snipe down overseers when you see them

i have about 2.8k kill when the mission ends; the key to the success of this mission is snipe down the overseers BEFORE the army charge to your DT wall

^ Thank you for your post. This will surely help! :)

no problem... i was having a lot of problem with the mission too, always dying at 2.2k and 2.3k kills; then i finally decided to mass carriers instead of colossi, and always keep 15-18 phoenix per team in two teams before the wall falls. when you see an army is building up by the spawn point, you want to immediately send a group phoenix in regardless of the presence of overseer just in case; if you dont see one, retreat immediately before losing too many (likely losing 3-4 depending on the army composition near mid-game); if you do see one, sometimes two, kill them then immediately retreat, and restock your lost units. your void rays and carriers will be more than enough to take care of the nydus worm and fliers near the achieves. you might want to keep the nydus worm that popped on top of your initial cannon area alive, as it keeps on popping zerglings for easy kills

In Utter Darkness = 30xx kills on Brutal. :laugh:

Thanks to theclueless. :)

One thing though, I didn't make any units other than Phoenixes and Dark Templars (+3 armor / weapons / shield).

EDIT: Only All In remains. But I'll have to play the damn campaign again, because I killed the worms instead of the fliers.

Well I am officially taking a break from starcraft 2 for awhile.

After 8 losses in a row to maphackers. I'm kind of fed up with the ****.

I mean I can understand one game with a blatant hacker. But when its 8 in a row due to the same ******* team its pretty ridiculous.

I'm going to tell you right now. Do not get into Diamond if you can.

Cause you will play some of the same people over and over again.

So if you play hackers adapt to their strategy they adapt to your moves.

These guys were good but had to map hack to win.

The one zerg was maphacking so bad he sat on my base told his teammates what i had and were.

I had tanks set up for a mass reaper wall that was coming.

The guy completely avoided my tanks no scan, no overlords nothing.

He edged himself just away from my tanks line of sight and killed my scvs.

Then the other guy would bring in mutas and without any line of sight knew where i had my stalkers and flew by them and whenever i would move with observer sight he knew.

3 zerg match so no way they could of seen what I had. Then the randomly spawning nyduses in the fog of war was the best part of it!

w00 just an update to all of you.

Team ranked matches have been fixed so that you won't play more games out of your league then in league anymore.

So for all you silvers playing diamonds. be ready to play your respective leagues more often.

Tonight me and my team played against platinums and diamonds as usual since we are on brink of being promoted and you can tell the matches

were better picked because they were always close games.

So happy :D

Done with the single player. All achievements gained. Time to kick some butt. Protoss brethren, here I come! :cool:

congrat! on a side note... i beat all-in against fliers (kill the worms); with hive mind control, my base is literally swarmed with muta, brood lords, roaches and hydra; the game pretty much went to auto-pilot mode when the levi appeared, its just a matter of clicking the nova when it charges, and controlling the muta when they come

you should play the challenges, they are fun (and frustrating)

just thought i'd post this tool that i use to practice build orders, i saw Day9 used it in one of his tutorials a while ago

http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/yabot/

download the and unzip

double click the map to load it in the map editor

File -> Test Document

it has some preloaded build orders to practice or u can just freestyle

you can also set the AI to none, or use Green Tea AI + a specific build order to practice against (don't forget to check the Use Custom Build Order box)

i found it very useful when trying to learn a new race or to just test out a build order you might have seen in a VOD

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
