These are some questions that have been killing my PvT. Maybe I should put this in the strategy section? I have no rep though;
1) PvT: is there any other indication that the terran is preparing for a timing push beside checking if he is building scvs? today i was up 3 bases to his 2, with dt drop doing decent damage (i think), but the push came a lot sooner than i expected, and after a few minutes, vultures rolled me.
which leads into 2) as a protoss, when you make reinforcements do you always make zealots? I fight the push by doing as much damage as I can with zealots / goons, but I pull back when all the zealots are dead and there are a few tanks with vulture support. This consequently results in a group of vultures going into my natural or my third and killing all probes as zealots can't kill them fast enough.
3) Forge timing. I mean this specifically for cannons.. when the timing push comes, i use most of my goons at my third as well to fight it off. but even if i kill the push, vultures go in and kill my probes T-T Should I not fight with the goons at my third?
4) Fighting 200/200 2-2 or 3-3 Terran - what the hell am i supposed to do!? I always miss the arbiter/carrier tech timing so i end up fighting the push without even storm. Is the only way to tech up? and is storm really essential? i've been noticing without storms, a push with 1-1 really kills me as well, not to mention a 200/200 terran.
5) Lastly, on a iccup game today, i had blocked the ramp with a goon, but then a scv who had no vision of my mineral patches proceeded to go through my goon.. how can I do this? is this even allowed?
Thank you if can answer! even if it's just one, try and help out T-T.
Hello, hello. I dont really know why i'm making this blog, but I'm just going to list some of the songs that I really think a lot of the others can enjoy.
Usually, rap is best in english; and between korea and usa, i prefer korea's rap, perhaps because i understand both korean and english. I'd translate all these songs that I'm going to list, because they do have great lyrics if you can understand them. But I'm not THAT good at korean, and plus it'd be really hard x_x
So i'm basically saying, it might sound pretty much horrible to any others, but do give it a listen ;D
First song: Soul Connection - 새벽아래 (Under the Dawn) One of my favourites by far, it really is a good song. the beat is nice, the lyrics are really great, and the three rappers involved in it are very very talented.
Second song: E-Sens ft Simon Dominic, Minos - I'm no good E-Sens, Simon Dominic, Minos. I consider them probably in the top 10 of korea's rappers that I really think sound great. They are amazing; flow, rhymes, blah blah. This song is based off Winehouse's song; and it sounds great =D
Third song: Kinetic Flow - 몽환의 숲 (Forest of Dreams) Kinetic Flow is my favourite group without a doubt. This is my favourite song. Top 3 easy~
Just listen, if you enjoyed the songs above.
Three songs that i really think are great. I dunno, if people like it, i'd post more of these blogs because I really think korea's rap scene is good.
First off it's not a rant; i'm just frustrated. Having below 40% or something win rate against terran isn't bad for me. I don't care about it; but it's the way I've been beaten.
I'm a protoss user, so 1a2a3a does work sometimes, especially at my level. But, the matchup has been killing my confidence. I get raped either one of two ways:
1) Terran does some quick vulture harass after FD, followed with tanks and vults to use the timing window. I have absolutely no idea when to get leg speed, and playing with reavers just seem to fuck it up more because I can't control it very well. 2) He camps, taking his third, waits for 2/2 upgrades then pushes out with 200/200 supply. I have half the map, so around 20-25 gates in total with arbs (hate carriers), but upgraded tanks just melt pretty much anything.
Basically, I just want C to C+ levelled Terran players that are willing to play me in the weekend on iCCup.
and also, I saw something about op tl-train? where players get together and train specific builds over and over again. I went there and there was one person who was afk T-T
Just venting anger here. I'm quitting for the day seeing i can't figure out how to play sc for my life.
I just lost i think 10 of my last 12-13 games.
PvZ: what the fuck. lurkers, cracklings, fucking cows. I can't stop anything. I move out of my fucking base, 2 ovies with 16 zerglings start killing my gateways. I dont move out, the zerg gets fucking cows. 2 hatch mutal. 3 hatch speedling. 3 hatch hydra. scourges picking off obs. plague on me dragoons, zealots. cracklings are too strong. they fucking make faster than my zealots but can rape a expo in like 5 seconds with a group.
PvT: Timing pushes are gay. period.
PvP: PvP on blue storm is such ghey. I can't tell whether to take expo or not after 2 gate, and if i tech, he still blocks it somehow. fuck.
this has got to be the most frustrating day in my sc life, even worse than when I went on a 10 game losing streak. These koreans made me feel like a fucking D- noob all over again.
and i still haven't hit my "newly" revised goal of B-; i'm 700 points away from it ToT. Currently still C+, going back to C then coming back up, again and again.
PvZ - I've managed to somewhat improve my PvZ, getting its win percentage to close to 50 for once in my life. I'm very happy with my PvZ right now, even took down a B- player through midgame, which i've never been able to do. Being aggressive in PvZ pays off =D
PvT - lol i hate PvT. it's at 35% win percentage. I can't seem to handle anything. Early game I always manage, but come midgame, i might as well chop off my hand and forfeit the match. Terrans willing to help msg please T-T
PvP - I've managed to lose a lot of PvPs, but its win percentage is still at around 60%. I've learned in the past 5 games I've gone dt, reavers own.
I highly doubt i can hit B-, but i'm still going to try. I dont care much about losing now, but losing against Terrans agonize me. It makes me feel like a D- player.
As a few of may know, I've been trying to hit B on iCCup this season, with no success. i've dropped ranks, gone up, then gone back down and so on.
I'm at C+, with 5 consecutive losses atm, 4 from terrans alone.
anyway, the point is, with SC II's release coming closer and closer, if anyone else feels the same as I do:
Trying to get better at SC has no point, and I should wait for SC II.
I usually only feel this way if i'm on a losing streak, or i've been absolutely smashed in a game. of course, this thought is followed by "yeah, i'll just quit competitive sc, and just be a ums whore until SC II's release", but it's quickly erased when YOU smash someone, or is on a winning streak.
Since iCCup is down, i've been going to op tl-west on the US West gateway. however, most people have chaos launcher, and because i've never bothered to get it, i think it's about time i get it.
so i did, but it doesn't work!!
when i try logging onto the gateways, it says something about application version.
I'm at C, with now more losses than wins but i dont even care. i've lost a ton in the past week, maybe 30-40 games, and winning maybe 10. and today, i couldn't practice with the koreans in the morning, so i tried in the afternoon.
I still got raped. 2-8. 2 and fucking 8.
it's ok though, i'll stick it out, and if i hit C-, whereas i started from frigging 30 points away from C+, well that's that. At first I doubted it would happen, but now i'm only 700 points away from C-, and with losses from left and right, it seems likely i will drop 2 ranks.
PvT - Same problems, but I think i'm getting the hang of it. My most recent losses have been due to my stupidity, where I stop his 6fact timing push, but can't handle the vultures that run around like a bitch, harassing me while he ups his tank count with his third. I'm hanging on! This is probably the mu that's been the most frustrating for me. sometimes I win so badly, but sometimes i also lose just as badly.
PvZ - unbelievable. I've won 1 pvz in the past i think 10 or so pvzs. But this isn't as frustrating ecause ever since i started the mu, i've been losing. I honestly can't follow off FE, and my 1base p sucks. what the fuck do i do..
PvP - i guess it's true that iCCup is in a sense, a toss league, at least until C - C+ ranks. i've had sooo many pvps, it's really getting boring playing the same way. I tossed it up a little, and it quickly gave me 1-2 losses. Anyway, for pvp, I'm going to keep asking Shauni to play me. so far i'm like 0-3 or something against him, but whatever.
so i'm C now, at 80-86 or something liek that, with 4700 points. I'm going to try to get a couple of gosu terrans and zergs to play me, and hopefully i can still hit B- this season.. which seems highly unlikely. anyway, my original goal of B is out of place now, so i'm trying for B-, or at least close to it.
Any Zergs and Terrans ranked C and up that'd like to help me, leave a message here! I'd greatly appreciate it.
gl & hf everyone else! I hope you're faring better than I am.
i lost 8 games in 1 day, then proceeded to lose 3 more today.
PvT - I just can't seem to get ANYTHING right in this mu anymore. my winrate was like 60%, and now it's 45%. fucking koreans..
PvZ - probably my worst mu. it's at 45% as well, as i can't figure out timing on this either. lurkers, ultras, cracklings, they're all gay.
PvP - statistically my most decent mu at 65%. no comment on this except i hate pvp as well.
i'm currently C+ and i'm struggling like crazy.
if any of you want to practice or mass game with me on iccup, pm. specifically looking for good Z/T players. I dont even care about your rank on iCCup, if you can rape me, play me 19028310938x.
