Yo Charles

I'll be buying SC2 when it comes out. I probably won't play competitive because I am entering my last undergrad semester + LSAT study but I plan on doing 2v2/3v3/4v4 you guys (ninoj,pb,yourself) on and off as terran.

Lets do collosus, stalker + thor, marauder + hydra/baneling in 3v3 pls

actually, in 3v3 you're just going to make command centres and mules and give pb/me money

in return i'll spill creep all over your base

I see PB is already having influence on you. You forgot the part besides giving money I spend all my MULE money on scans shortly before you attack and be the sole person to jeopardize myself on gold expansions.

Another korean is here =]

i will buy it only for custom maps, sc2 is like a small game developing tool. you can create a variety of maps like wc3 does (even more!)

btw, theres a rumor that SC2 is free for korean WOW users i hope its true o.o i dont play wow anymore though

Game is quick and fun. Last RTS I played against other ppl was wc2 on lan.

SC2 isn't free if you play in American servers regardless of ethnicity.

Besides, it's only "free" as long as your WoW account is active, so it'd actually be more expensive if you don't intend on playing WoW after four months.

all the previews/trailers i see on tv/web show all kinds of fighting, none of which is in a top-down looking strategy game style. is there more to this game then just the strategy play?

Single player has cut scenes. Some of the campaigns will have 1-10 units under your control. Without the buildings etc.

Korea has taught me something.

Play a game enough and they will eventually give it to you.

So, how the crap do you counter Protoss Stalkers? srs!
They outrange everything tech 1 zerg has... and they overpower and outrange hydras, which are tech 2...
So you go mass mutas which does ok, then u have no more gas and the toss brings in carriers... gg

Speedlings.

You need to learn how to fast gas into speed tech for zerglings against P, for that matter almost any race. Stalkers may outrange speedlings but they cannot keep up with their speed. Transition into muta's, then a roach/hydra build as the game progresses when he feels stalkers are becoming less effective. No offense but if you're any good the game shouldnt reach the point of carriers, corrupters also decimate carriers if you have the appropriate amount.

Burrowed roaches that pop into a stalker ball is also pretty deadly. Spread creep, burrow, plant spine crawlers if your not aggressive, spread creep.
