What is StarCraft II PLUS?

• Welcome, Commander! Star Craft II PLUS is a Multiplayer mod created by Darkwolf for Alex007 SC2 YouTube channel, allowing to replace standard multiplayer units with different units from StarCraft: Brood War, StarCraft 2 Campaign and Star Craft 2 Co-op.

• The modification also contains units from various alpha-beta versions, as well as works from fanfiction what was generally recognized by Blizzard.

What's special about StarCraft II PLUS?

• The modification creates a system of balanced selection of units and regulation of the "balance of power" through a special "unit price system".

• Therefore modification provides you with a unique experience, allowing you to play "on equal terms" even with a stronger opponent - due to an effectively balanced unit cost system

• The StarCraft 2 Plus project is constantly evolving and improving; the developers listen to the opinions of the players

How high is the barrier to entry into the game?

• In gaming you feel nothing differs from standard multiplayer games - destroy every building of your opponent and force the opponent to leave the game, that is the key to win

How big is the unit selection pool?

• In the first version of the modification, players were able to replace three units in each faction.

• In the next stage the number of selections was increased to six.

• At the moment, the pool of new units in version 3.0 is 15 for each faction (the total number is 45).

How can I play StarCraft II PLUS?

• First, you have to run StarCraft II. Choose "custom", then "melee", next choose a map and press "create with mode". Find StarCraft II PLUS mode and press "create lobby". Done!

• You can find liknk to Main and PTR versions in descriptions of SC2+ YT video...

• Since both modifications - the main one and PTR - use some common resource libraries for their functionality, some of the changes in PTR patches can be observed in the main version of the mod.

• And yet, while there aren't news about massive update on main version, it is strongly recommended to focus on launching the PTR version.

Are there any social networks for the community interested in StrCraft 2 Plus?

• Yes, We are glad to see you as part of our community. You can become a part of our discord community by simply clicking the button on the right in the game or coming by links in description of YT videos.

• Starcraft II PLUS is the future of ladder gaming. Work in progress

As you can see, StarCraft 2 is not even doing that bad. In fact it's doing better than EA FC, Rocket League, Raibow Six Siege, and Rennsport, which have all been announced to come back this year. (Rennsport is an anomaly here, honestly don't know how it got selected in the first place. The Saudi Prince really likes cars??)

It's worth noting that SC2 does have one of the longest air time among all games (~50 hours, twice of that to LOL or DOTA2), which would incur higher production cost.

1. So I really wonder if it's just economics consideration that stopped SC2 from joining this year, or is it something else? Maybe the rumor mill is right about the licensing fee?
2. Even if EWC give it up, someone else should do it because that's 1 million hours of viewtime up for grabs. I don't have a good estimate of how much that's worth, but most US TV episodes cost more than 1 m$ to make, and only maybe the top 20 shows can bring in that kinda viewtime.

I've seen a few posts on here complaining about smurfs on the ladder, which are fairly common at certain times of night and I wanted to share the way I deal with them. Basically, when you match against a known smurf or barcode (because you never can tell with them) just cheese the hell out of them with the fastest hitting cheese. If you're protoss go for a cannon rush, if you're zerg baneling bust, and if you're terran proxy 4 rax. Go wild! This has several benefits:

• you don't waste a lot of time playing them
• you get to hone your cheese skills against someone who deserves to be cheesed
• you increase their MMR rapidly making them have to waste more time insta-leaving games
• often after the third game of the same cheese they get bored and will stop insta-queuing so you get to play someone else
• you don't feel bad when you lose because you're doing a build you're probably not good at
• you are going to feel really good when you win with a nasty cheese

Go forth and cheese!

This is a rant. I'm Diamond 2. I'm aware that I'm not very good at the game, but also not the worst. I've been a zerg main since I've started, but for the first time I'm seriously considering switching races. ZvT and ZvP just feels harder than ever.

From the second the game starts, I'm on the back foot. ZvP? Have fun either getting cheesed for the 3rd time in a row or suffering due to air pressure because I can't have as many queens now, which I'm not the best at utilizing because I'm diamond 2.

ZvT? Ok let me scout for the 20 possible openings he could be doing and practice every single response until I can counter all of them, whoops he did the 21st opening and I'm not equipped to handle it, because I'm diamond 2.

The majority of games feel like if I don't have the perfect response to whatever my opponent decides to do, it's over. I know zerg is the "reactive" race of the 3, but I just can't help but feel I need to put in 3 times the mental effort in everything that a terran or protoss does. And I can't do that all the time, because I'm not Serral and I'm diamond fucking 2.

Yes I'm aware I'm bad, and yes I'm aware that at the top level (see: Serral and Dark) that zerg does just fine. But I don't play SC2 because I want to be at the top one day, I play it because I like to play zerg, and right now it's really hard to play zerg.

So for Dragoons lore,they are protosses who get too damaged in battle to fight as regular warriors and so they are get connected to well,Dragoons body. Main question is,how is that possible for protoss level of technology to not just restore body of warrior in full without having them crippled?I mean they are teleporting and healing guys on base but can't make some limbs and organs to make protoss function again. Even terrans kind of can.Is that considered dishonourable to just freaking heal?Or is that for some reason protoss geniuses didn't even thought of saving their so little by population race?

Honestly, it’s the most fun I’ve had outside campaign. So many commanders to add, it’s infuriating. I like ladder, just don’t have the time to make any real progress.
