Actually worked for once. Only because my opponent went for DT's, though..

Comment on my play please? I need to know how I'm doing. I am in Platinum 1v1 league, rank 63 I think.

Well your opponent was clearly shit.

Making 2 Barracks is a better way to mass Marines than making 1 Barracks, 2 Gas and a Reactor. If he had went for 3 gate + robo + collosus you would have been gg'd. Also, 100% marines is pretty bad way to go. No Combat Shield, no Stim Pack? Not even +1/+1 upgrades?

Also, you use Extra Supplies. Big no-no. A Mule gives you about 400 minerals. Just don't supply block yourself and use mules instead...

Anyways, didn't really watch the replay in much detail since it was quite an average game. Post a replay when you ACTUALLY have a decent opponent. Doesn't have to be when you win.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I was kinda doing crap this game like my opponent, I was just kinda happy I won. Most of the time, even if I do happen to get upgrades, or grab mules, I always get owned. Made me wonder how I got in the platinum league. I'll definitely upload another one though when it's a good fight if I remember to save the replay.

Alright, just did a another match. My enemy sucked, but I think I did a hell of a lot better.

I've decided to take on a new race and strategy as terran isn't doing so well for me. Now I'm going protoss, and I'm using the 4gate strategy. Tell me how I'm doing gameplay-wise, I've won quite a few matches with this, and I uploaded a multiplayer match and the match I did to get the 1v2 Medium AI achievement.

keep practising... I am gold 1v1 and platinum 2v2 - have a look at these two replays:

2v2 (PP v PZ) Voidray Tactical
1v1 (P v T) Macro/Micro

I am Protoss in both games.

Blur. I suggest you go to www.teamliquid.net to find some pro replays, instead of watching some amateur play. No offense Cardinal, but they have more learning factors than you do. In fact, the way I see it, you might even harm someone's idea of a 'good game'.

Yeah, no offense, but you can't say you're playing properly until you're within the top couple thousand of the diamond league, as anyone below that plays with a ton of room for improvement. Even I still have a ton of room for improvement, as I'm constantly getting better and better.

I suggest sc2-replays.net, and look up whichever matchup you want to learn most -PvP PvZ or PvT.

lol Sen is so goddamn fucking elitist its laughable.

edit: All I did was show him two replays in which the Protoss play is better (how about more 'adventurous') than a 4-gate?

Well take a step back and realise this - Blur is never going to be the best Starcraft 2 player in the world. So let him enjoy his game, let him watch a couple replays. Get off your high-horse and don't tell him to go suck team-liquids cock. Mmmmmklay? It's funny how no one actually replies to this thread until they have gone out and bought fucking 'superiority stilts' so they can just stand up there and look down on everything that's been said already.

Oh cmon. Nothing wrong with telling Blur were to learn in the best possible manner. Everyone learns by watching pro players.

Now, all your replay did was show him how to play wrong. How about you get off your own high horse and stop sucking your own cock and realize that we said what we said because there are way better ways of learning than your replays.

Lol I never watched the replays. O.o Although I should, I'm not aiming to be the best. I'm just looking to be decent enough that I don't epically fail every game I play. (Which I successfully did for a while until I found the 4gate strategy.) However I appreciate all the help I'm being given, and will look into those replays when I get some time.

ask help on the SC2 forums. Yeah they are filled with elitist, but most of them like giving advices to starters. I'm silver (only cause I'm playing once a week, being rusty between each game) and they helped me understand how zerg is supposed to be played. If you want to learn other strategies for protoss, go there. The protoss forums are actually the most friendly, as terran players keep saying zerg are op and zerg keep saying terran are op. Protoss being the worse race (balance-wise), the Protoss players started making good strategies and helping eachother a lot, like zerg at the beginning of SC2.

:bleh: Tough love's the only way for people to learn. SEN is Elitist as fuck, but so is every small internet forum.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
