I'd say the protoss guy already lost if the zerg player had enough time to produce 400 overlords

All my good 2v2 friends are offline. This is so demoralizing.

For the life of me I cannot get gridkeys to activate. This is annoying. I've deleted the settings file, tried restarting, resetting everythign to defaults... won't work. Argh.
Well, went 4-1 in my placement matches and made it into the middle of a gold bracket. Not sure how that happened, but guess I'll roll with the punches. Which will be awful until I get bumped down to where I belong, I'm sure.
I random'd into PvZ and did that thing I tried on you and won It was an Even Match game and he early pooled and constantly kept up ling pressure, added banelings to try to crack my front but I held it off until I got the prism out for the win.
Makes me want to focus on a race more :P

I'm also confused as to why I'm consistantly in the top 25 of my Gold division, but I constantly choke when facing PAers of any league.
what have you people done to meeeeee
Maybe you have stage fright.
OMG my peeeers.
I'm not even joking either. Random ladder matches are anonymous and your placement on the ladder is more of a personal achievement. But a tournament against peers (even if not IRL peers) that is being broad-casted (or at least the results are displayed) can affect you if you're not prepared for it.
ARRRRRGH!!! Foiled by my stingy unwillingness to upgrade my OS!
I download client fine. Do initial install A-OK. Get all patched up like a mufucka. But then, when I hit the "BITCH I WANNA PLAY" button, I get a little message that says:
Unable to run Starcraft II. Required files are missing. Please reinstall Starcraft II.
I'm thinking of pre-ordering this game to get a beta version, but I'm curious: is there someplace that lists what creatures counter what? Because from the videos I've watched that looks to be pretty vital, and I'd have no bloody idea for half the things. For example, what Protoss unit counters Hydras? What Terran unit counters Zealots?

These are the kind of things I need to know.
There is a help menu that shows ever unit and what its strong and weak against

Also, you pick it up pretty fast from stuff light the units descriptions. Zealots say Light-Organic when you click on them. Hellions do +alot of damage to Light, so they are a counter.
Immortals do +lots to Armoured. Roaches are Armour-Organic, so they take the extra damage. Another counter. Generally, it only takes a click or two to figure things out, and you'll memorize it in a few games.

Where do I find this exactly? I just got the beta and I'm fairly uninformed about the unit matchups.
Clearly the trick is to move your spore colonies around teamed up with an overlord dropping creep.
wait... do spore detect while unborrowed? This requires testing.
it would actually be pretty damn cool if spore crawlers detected while unburrowed.
another question: do spine and spore crawlers lose health while unburrowed and moving off the creep? i know they lose health when burrowed and there is no creep left (i.e. hatchery is destroyed but army leaves before they destroy your other buildings).

In the game in one of the menus, I believe. Watch a replay to check it, since you can access the menus there.
also you're way undervaluing mobility and creeping the map.
well, that's the thing - i dont like the terran race, i just like their mechanics. i love how disgusting and fucked up the zerg are so i always play them most. again, im just talking about mechanics here.
besides, i dont even think the zerg are (overall) underpowered or anything! don't get me wrong. i win more than i lose. but that doesnt mean the zerg wouldnt benefit from some love.
I agree, but i don't think detection is where they need love. I think a few things need buffing, like ultras and corruptors, also maybe some changes (not buffs ) with roaches and queens
edit: crawlers do not lose health off creep when unburrowed.
edit: confirmed, spores do not detect while unburrowed.

Picture yourself in the protoss player's postion.
He is floating a massive, harmless army over my head, because he can.
All of that could have been lings instead. A crawling, stabbing, angry army of upgraded zerglings.

Just don't give a fuck 8-)
But don't get DQed.
More like 33.
Take off for steak while everyone waits on you for an hour?
Next time, I'm gonna spell out a clever phrase with my units.

Turns out you need 10.5 or greater. Sad day.
Something tells me that's not a strategy that works most of the time.

wut.
i would trade overseers for ravens any day of the week and twice on sundays.
So... zerg don't get a mobile detector until Hive and upgraded spire? How would that work?
wait... do spore detect while unborrowed? This requires testing.
i have no idea how that would work.
i thought you were talking about which actual unit is superior.
if we are just talking about detection, i would most definitely trade:
spore crawlers and ols
for
(double) supply depots that can be used to seal ramps, scan, missile turrets and ravens
i know it's not a perfect comparison but in terms of cost-use, i dont think there is any question that the terrans come out ahead here.

I've heard that they don't.

yeah, i hear you on that though. broodlords are just painful to try and mass.
