So can you not play custom maps without uploading them to Battle.Net in SC2? Do we know if there's going to be a system for quality assurance or version control?
Patch/hotfix to fix the zerg larva thing seems to be hitting now. I can't join games, as the top of the screen says "downloading content, progress 0%, 0KB of 1 MB" or something like that.
The Larva bug is being looked at and a fix will be implemented very soon, ideally later today. We understand that it is a prevalent issue and we're working to resolve it as soon as possible.
Also, the corresponding problem with currently-morphing Larva (eggs) being selected when you Select Larva with your Hatchery/Lair/Hive is also being addressed, but will not be a part of the fix for Larva cancellation. We're hoping this one will be covered in the patch following the Larva fix.
Yessss, but booo, not being resolved until later.
I guess I'll learn terran or something.

I think it's safe to say that other then featured maps / pay money$ maps that you'll be able to play custom without uploading your map.
That wouldn't make sense at all for people who just want to log on and map test or w/e.
For the $$$ maps I'm sure Blizzard will have some quality control.

If what you say is true, the Shaolin and the Wu-Tang could be DANGERISK.
Gragh, another loss to mutas. Except this time I was playing Toss, not Terran. I'm actually not sure what I could have done. It was on Desert Oasis, I go with a standard Robo+3 Gates build. He does some early pressure with roaches, manages to do a bit of damage but not too bad. He keeps pressuring, but I destroy his force and counterattack. Being DO, he had like 4 Spine Crawlers up by the time I got there so I moved my force back to my newly warped in expansion. I keep building Immortals and Stalkers (thankfully). Suddenly a huge swarm of mutas starts harassing around my base. I had just enough Stalkers to hold it off. He just keeps making mutas, harassing everywhere. I pumped Stalkers continuously and was barely able to hold off the mutas, but still never being able to leave my base. Eventually I got fed up and attacked. His muta storm destroyed all of my stalkers and then the rest of my force.
Is there a better counter to mutas than Stalkers? We were both on two bases so it wasn't like I was at a macro disadvantage. I was pumping out of 5 warpgates. Are sentries better? Hmm.

Maybe try mixing some sentries in with the Stalkers and use the shield to reduce the bouncing damage from the mutas. I always try to have a good few (like at least five or so) in my army, just for the whole shield & forcefield thing.

Just won my first game on battle.net! Basically just massed zealots from four gateways against the poor guy, who had the misfortune of wasting monies teching up.

No, sentries are wonderful units, particularly against mutas.
so I haven't been able to play in like 3 nights, and then I relaunched my updater and it completed...now when I launch sc2 it instantly closes like I never opened the app

Oh, I forgot about the guardian shield. Now I feel stupid
On a side note... WHAT THE FUCK MAN! I attacked a guy's base, he attaked my base, and somehow he beat me, even though I destroyed his whole base.
Also um... how do the leagues go? I just won a game and got reclassified from Bronze to Copper... isn't Bronze higher than copper? Why would I go down in ranking after winning?

Check the replay. He probably had a structure that you didn't spot before he eliminated all of yours.

I'm actually more curious as to the the heck it put me in a lower league after winning a battle... that doesn't make any sense!
You might have been matched against someone from that lower league. If you're constantly losing to people in your current league but you can take wins off of someone from a lower league it makes sense that you'd be brought down.
edit: Also I really want my probe portrait back =(

I do agree that I should have been in the copper league, haha, I suck balls. But still... at least change it on a loss! I feel way worse, haha:)

Hehehe, some people also think it re-evaluates every certain number of games you play, forgot to say that.
If i'm playing zerg in custom, i'm exploiting because playing them for more than 2 minutes right now is too frustrating :P
Whats crazy is that in all of my placement matches, the trick wasn't used. Game 1 in the ladder, it was used buy I already have my wall up fended it off to when a few minutes later. Game 2, I just assumed for some reason he would go roaches. Why? No idea. I didnt even have a barracks being made when the chaos came.
BUT. POINT IS. 2v2 TOURNY THIS WEEKEND.

If I saw he was going crazy mutas I probably would have made a few phoenix to support my stalkers.
But, if you think mutas are bad... wait until you go up against broodlords as protoss ;[
Not yet.
They plan on fixing the egg select too, but not til later.
No word on wire-frame select.
Is there an "mmo-chmapion" equivelent for Starcraft 2, like a blue tracker or something?
if i 7 rax, yes.

Blizzard: Oh my goodness! Terran players are using mech, which most certainly isn't MMM! TIME TO FIX THAT.
Ohhh laaaaame.
It's ok, they buffed fungal growth so that we can handle MMM as well.
