Oh man my losing streak was totally made up for by winning my latest, a tvt with the following exchange:

both of the placement matches that i lost, i lost to void rays
Marine balls, Viking Balls, Hydras, other zerg units, Stalkers.
fuckin'
one of these was Desert Oasis
this guy just brought in two void rays and their range was enough that they'd just pick off my marines one at a time without me being able to get like any shots in

stim run in watch voidrays melt, or just kite the damned things with vikings. Vikings have range of 11 or something stupid like that. Besides, a mass viking army with a raven or two will counter an all stalker army as well.

Getting vikings out wasn't really economical because I wasn't, you know, fast teching to air
I feel like it's frustratingly difficult to keep pressure on in Desert Oasis --- there's this huge run to the enemy base, and a tiny little ramp is all they have to defend.
I guess I could have teched straight to banshees in the same time they went right to void rays, but ... man, that's not even fun.

he was sitting off the ledge, so he could easily move out of range, get close enough to pick off a marine, then move out of range etc
and if i didn't keep my marines around to get picked apart, then he'd just wipe out my workers etc
in that game at least i was just distinctly outplayed though, because he did have a decent ground army knocking my door too
If a Terran is turtling inside his base, it is extremely hard to break. Don't even bother because you'll have much worse losses. All you can do, and should do, is contain him and expand. Throw in the occasional overseer scout to see what he's up to so you don't get blindsided by something like BCs. At that point it should be an easy win.

Just cause they're versatile doesn't mean you can rely on just them. when Thor/Tank/Rine is knocking down the ramp would you prefer stimmed marines to kill your vikings in the air or thors and tanks AND stimmed marines to kill them on the ground?

Teching up to broodlords after a long-term contain usually cracks the shell. The best available counter leaves his ground vulnerable anyways
I would say Vikings are the best unit in the game. Just give them a raven for backup and they melt almost any ground army and any air army.
what
Hahah.
Fine Fine. They eat stalkers (with a raven) And uhm lings I guess maybe Zealots. And...Capital ships. And other ships in smaller groups. And transports and shees. Siege tanks and Vikings 4 lyfe. :P
Though a Bansee/Viking army would be awesome if not impractical.
Yes. If you don't block your ramp with your freakin' Zealots, don't get surprised that I run past them and into your mineral line.
Between that and the guys that apparently learned to swear just yesterday, sometimes I'd rather not have a chat option at all in 1v1.

holy crap, i missed FORTY potential workers in a 20 minute game, I sure would have appreciated the extra thors and marines. Won anyway, but he had no chance after i caught his cheese. Against anyone with proper macro? They would have 3 base and at least 8 gate/robo/stargate to my 2base 2rax factory

Yeah i love that. One guy yelled at me for a 14pool. I ran my 6 zerglings into his base and he had nothing but probes. He was like "Bullshit cheese" and im like "Its cheese that you still dont have any attack units after 5 minutes???" and hes goes "Yes, rushing bullshit zergling cheese, youre shit".
After 6 minutes he didnt have any probes either

w00t, just beat a Gold Terran Player and got promoted to Silver. Finally.
I've gone 0-5 listening to no music. Then I turned my Industrial playlist on and immediately won my next 2 games, against a Silver and Gold league player.

Just smashed a zerg who take a really late 2nd expo and who's only play was trying some Infested Terran and Muta harass on my probe lines, shortly before smashing 40 speedlings against colossi that he knew I had, and then bringing 6 corruptors in to kill the colossi after he'd seen me build phoenixes to counter the mutas.
My army was significantly larger than him and I expanded faster than he did (o_O) and had mined out my main way before him, and when my significantly larger army rolls into his base he just says "god it's so easy to play terran and protoss."
Dude, maybe learn how to play your race correctly before you bitch about mine.
EDIT: Yeah, looking at the score screen, I had significantly more workers and income than he did. You can't bitch about imbalance if you're just not playing well.

Just lost to a 6 pool because my 1st zealot was juuuust too late.
Ffuuuuuccckk.
Are you using your probes? They can kill off 6 lings pretty damn fast.

I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the air settle on you and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. - Ezekiel 32: 4-6

I was amazed at how his opponents tanks just didn't destroy him. He seemed to have the smaller army in each engagement (or the larger army that could only fight air), yet managed to just keep going until such a point as he had a ton of marauders, starved his opponent, and won via attrition and BCs.
yeah, i learned from income wars earlier today that BCs just lol at thors, i didn't notice he was getting them until he had them. i figured he would just be winning through attrition... that guy spent SO MUCH MONEY on turrets. so many turrets. he also lost quite a few command centers.
the game where he got outcheesed was the greatest game i've ever seen

like that one nerd says
you don't have to win fast or win now, you just want to win
don't kill yourself trying to scratch his wall
somehow i just found this really funny, cause his teammate didn't have units in there or defense
it just felt like
he did it on purpose
edit: by the way the teammate was zerg, so he wasn't walled in either.

that's not -terrible- is it?

I really wish Zerg had some kind of cheese other than 6pool
