I would play too.

I would say I've improved considerably since our inagural CP tournament.

For instance. I now know that all I_Am_Beast does is DT rush.

I also know that Mutas are crap, and Marines are win!

And that is all I've needed to know in order to make it into the platinum division.

Found this in the comments for the Happy Ultralisk comic. Make sure you press the "cc" button in order to get the english subtitles.



Also found this hilarious commercial:

I disagree. Each race requires a different style of game play. If you put everything into one hotkey as Zerg, you're playing it wrong. If you're letting Toss mass up his deathball, you're also playing the race wrong. Zerg is all about getting a good surround in an open area and not letting Terran and Protoss max out to 200 by constant harassing and trading army with them.

As for Terran, the play style requires a good solid push with tanks spread out due to deter Zerg from engaging while constantly harassing with medivac drops until mutas are out.

Protoss style is all about making a solid push with the strongest army. Protoss doesn't have good harassment units like marine/med drops or mutas so drop play isn't viable. Protoss units aren't meant to be split up the way the tanks are. What am I supposed to do? Leave couple colossus out in the open for your stacked up corruptors/vikings to snipe? As soon as Protoss army starts to split up, it's so easy for zerg to get a good surround and kill so splitting up the army isn't a viable option.

Looks awesome. Any firm release date yet, or will it still be around spring 2012?

Sounds like it most likely to be around April 2012 but nothing firm.

Glad they priced it at $40 and not $60. This summer I'll be doing two, and only two, things it seems: Accounting and Starcraft.

I'm more excited about the singleplayer than the multiplayer. Want to see what happens with kerrigan.

I think warhound already got removed cause it was too over powered.

I think it already has been, as like you said it was overpowered and getting massed vs everything. Something along the lines of blizzard "maybe bringing it back" but having to tweak it.

That is some truly cool stuff. I wonder if it'll work with old replays. I highly doubt it, but I can always dream....
