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

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
