I see so many references to Starcraft all the time and the game looks rly interesting, but to me it seems impossible to get into at this point. I mean the games been out for over 20 years (its older than me lmao) and it seems to me there is so much nuance. The thing about the game that rly interests me is how similar it is to Heroes of Might and Magic except its real time. Anyone have any links where I can try to learn the game? The best way to probably learn is through lots of playtime but theres no harm in asking. Thanks.

There was an old lady walking with her grandkids at the store and it kind of reminded me of a high templar and some sentries. In my head i was just thinking how satisfying it would be if i dropped an EMP + snipe to pop all those sentries and take care of the HT after. is this normal or should i get help?

Hi, like I said in the title, I want to start playing SC2. I love competitive games, I spent my 5 last year playing LoL but I do not enjoy the game anymore. I want a 1v1 strategic/competitive game where I can invest myself in for next years. Is SC2 the game I'm looking for or is it another game more interesting out there ?

V Byun 2-0 V Bunny 2-0 V Spirit 3-2 (the same player that eliminated showtime at homestory cup btw) V Ryung 2-0 V Byun 2-0

He’s obviously not quite Maxpax level in PvT, but it’s kind of ridiculous watching him 2-0 Byun with Protoss then switch back to Terran and 3-2 Hero today.

He also had that little mini series against serral on the ladder where he went 2-2 with Protoss.

Whatever you guys want to say about Terran balance, Clem has to be excluded from the discussion. He’s beating pros with two races now.

I’ll wait for him to do it offline before I’m willing to declare pro PvT a skill issue, but the balance arguments are getting weaker and weaker the better he does. All of this btw occurred after the supposed death knell of Protoss (losing battery overcharge).

Now I see alot of posts talking about this games age and how most of the player base is dad's but I just wanted to say that this game still does have a small niche foot with younger audiences like me i was introduced to this game at the age of 6 I'm now 18 and over a decade later it's still one of my all time favorite games to just play and chill I don't feel like I have to take it too seriously and there's just no RTS like it anyway thanks for coming to my small rant

I just watched Harstem's new IODIS video (lurch vs. DrPootytang):

Lurch probably really is a silver league player with 2044 MMR, but DrPootytang is absolutely not. There is one account on sc2pulse with the name DrPootytang:

Race Best MMR Total Games Last MMR Last Games
random 3133 11535 3040 1
protoss 2911 3968 2663 31
terran 3069 2204 2381 287
zerg 2883 894 2371 27

Looking at the match history and filtering down to 1V1 games that have a duration: 229 - Recent matches 135 - Wins 94 - Losses 59 - Losses less than 60s

Meaning that of their recent losses, DrPootytang left the match 63% of the time before the first minute elapsed. This is a player who has a consistent history of leaving games to artificially lower their MMR. It's possible there's another DrPootytang in the wild, but I think unlikely.

And yes, we can poke some fun and critique lurch because theoretically they did submit the replay, but I find it really disheartening that Harstem did not realize the power imbalance at play. Lurch is out here complaining about ravens, but in reality they should be complaining about the state of the ladder. They had little to zero chance from the start.

We as a community need to find some way to foster a better ladder experience if we want the game to retain players. Why would lurch keep playing if they are going to be regularly decimated by players outside their skill level?

Yes, lurch sucks, but what really is IMBA (and unfortunate) is SC2 ladder smurfs.

PS Hang in there lurch <3

PSS DrPootytang, shame on you. Hope you rethink some stuff mate.

My boyfriend has intense nostalgia for StarCraft II and has been reliving the good times by watching me play campaign. I’ve really enjoyed it.

I love the Terrans. I love their drawls and cigars. I love the lab nerd with the missing stapler and perennial shaving cut. I love the bearded engineer who claims he hates caves but is clearly a dwarf employed to forge my weapons. I love chainsmoking SCVs with their next cigarette tucked behind their ears. “Ahh, you scared me!”

I finished Wings of Liberty and started Heart of the Swarm last night.

Everything is so wet and disgusting.

I miss the cantina. I miss the jukebox. I miss songs about shotguns and flowers.

Evolution pit guy is kind of cool. But does it have to be a pit? Does he have to talk through repulsive flaps on his neck? I hate the way his pedipalps twitch. Gross.

I miss my buddies. I miss “in the rear with the gear”. I miss “ABANDON SHIP” the second a battlecruiser gets dinged.

Now I have a lamia who acts like an AI assistant and Cassius the broodmother. My allies-to-be are a bunch of power-hungry slime that won’t fall in line. Everyone is covered in pustules. Everything sounds like cancer.

The way they always require more mineralsssssssss. The way they need more vesssssssspene gassssssss. Shut up shut up SHUT UP.

I want my sheriff’s badge. I want my paranoid marines. I want my ominous rasta voodoo guy muttering on the mezzanine. I want Christmas lights threaded through zerg skulls so the eye sockets glow. I want Iggy Pop covers and VNN and “don’t shoot the TV”.

My boys. My boys.

The zerg are sickening and have no culture. They make my skin crawl. I hate these bitches.

Was just casually wondering about interactions. Theres zero* reason why you would want to do such a thing, but still cool.

*in a very intense base race, if all you're structures are about to die, you could take over a drone and survive. So i guess it can see use in one in a trillion games

The problem was Protoss players struggled to survive early game hence being pigeonholed into playing 4 gate blink or cheese builds into standard midgame every game. They died to any 1 base builds because they cannot scout reliably but this seems to solve the problem…
