Did you beat any of the diamonds? and what is your record? If your record is 50/50 you wont play diamonds as often or if they are diamond very crappy ones.

I am almost top 10 with my diamond 3v3 team, and we lost about 20 games and won about 70 now.

No I got roflstomped.

Yeah 'fixed' matchmaking. I am barely 2v2 gold (ond only really got there cause of some REALLY lucky games where I beat plat guys) ANd I got matched vs diamond players 3 times in a row.

In my experience, the more you play the more you get even matches. Battle.net seems to "test" you when you begin, but after 100 games or so I don't get matched with godly players or complete newbies anymore.

Currently struggling to break into Diamond league. Been 1st in Platinum, downgraded to 15th or so in the next matches. I really need to develop some coherent game plans and better macro.

Yeah as Dr. said game needs more then about 100 games to fully recognize where you belong.

Is it right? Sure as hell not, but not much you can do about it.

After 650 games for me im 50/50 ratio almost. Playing diamonds only, sometimes occasional gold casue they are testing them besides that right where we should be.

Are there people with insane win records from cheating hell yeah there is.

I just lost to a team that played 900 games, and won 889 of them.

Definitely not fair especially after we rushed and killed 3 of them last one had mass void that he charged off his mothership.

I just had the most epic comeback ever. I was playing 1 vs. 1 terran vs. terran on the space platform map which has the 2 spawns pretty close to each other, with an island above them. I got rushed by a bunch of marines and marauders which destroyed most of my base, so I lifted off my command center, factory and spaceport, landed on the island where the other guy couldn't follow, surrounded it with turrets and started building vikings to hold off the other player. I managed to hold off a few waves of attacks, then snuck an scv in a medivac to the bottom of the map with the gold minerals and built up another base with a bunch of starports and a couple of armories to build upgraded battlecruisers. I continued building turrets and vikings on the little island to put on a show and get the guy thinking I was stuck there since he was constantly comsat scanning me. He told me 'u r so cheap' the he finally managed to destroy my island base with a nuke and 7 battlecruisers. A few seconds later I showed up with my secret fleet of 9 fully upgraded battlecruisers from my bottom base and put him to shame :laugh: .

That sounds awesome! Must get the replay!!!

You can download the replay file here. http://s87762315.onlinehome.us\Scrap Station-giantpotato.SC2Replay

Enjoy. I personally like watching it from the other player's perspective. :laugh:

LOL that guy was such a moron. He could have so easily destroyed you. best part was when he sends marauders to scout every single expansion except the gold one where u were massing starports. One of them walked right by it. lmao. :pinch:

lol it happens. I was winning like almost 12 or more in a row, then all of a sudden I lost about 6 in a row lol.. Best thing is take a break, watch the replays and get better.

How the hell do I defend now against a decent 6-pool Zerg player? :(

I've been thinking about this myself, as a toss player I think the way I'm going to be trying is a temporary wall off using a pylon which I'll cancel as soon as the zealot is done. Going to have to play around a bit.

I'm a little disappointed with the patch myself, I expected something slightly more substantial than a few balance changes and some stuff that we can all live without.

Those are easy to get through. Add d at your mine field. Zerg = two spines, Protoss = 1 to 2 cannons, & Terran = Screwed lol jk.. Normally 2-4 marines will help(bunker is a plus).

I have learned to always take out them Zergs first lol

Has anyone had the problem when you try to load a saved game, it wont? Mine says something about a previous version of SC II and if I would like reload the previous or something.. Is it safe for me to click yes or shall I wait for a fix?

This is the same with replays during the beta, I guess. Its safe to load a previous version... Basically the game will shut down the current version, and launch the exe file located in Base14505 folder, instead of the now-standard Base16561 folder.

The Base14505 folder is for the vanilla 1.0 (up to 1.0.3) version and the Base 16561 folder is for the current 1.1 version.

In the future all major patches will create a folder like this one, unless Blizzard decide some time in the future to merge all folders into one (for example, once the game reaches some major version like 1.10or something like that).

This was made to fix a problem that was present (and I think still is) in Warcraft 3, where if you update the game to version 1.36 (just an example) you won't be able to watch replays made during version 1.23 (again, just an example).

Me and my buddy pretty much learned the hard way the a double 6 pool from decent zergs in a 2v2 is unbeatable. I've tried reaper bunker strat, ive tried 6 rack reaper, walling almost gets done by time it shows up.

Pretty much boned cause you will either have 2 marines no bunker, or a reaper and a bunker. Fun stuff.

However, one zerg is a sitting duck.

Reaper and Zealot proxy is still viable just have to 7 gate it to work.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
