Starcraft 2

[boost]

woah, I just wrote a really long rant detailing my placement matches... who cares!?

Some questions I did want to ask though..

whats terr's hard counter to immortals? Marauders?

Should I be 3raxing vs toss as a standard?

Whats some advice for a player who is really risk adverse? I don't turtle, but I tend to contain and never know when to make a push until its blatantly obvious (20-25+ mins into the game and Ive contained/expo'd a few times) I feel like Im missing a ton of opportunities in the early game to just snap win some of these matches.

(1) You can't play single player offline now, just fyi
(2) Hard counter to immortals = marines (especially stimmed). Or, anything with a high damage per second that takes place with small attacks.
(3) You don't have to, but for the most part, marauders >>> every gateway unit, so it's a good viable strat.
(4) Terrans are kidn of built to turtle until they're ready to push. if you don't turtle, I think you picked the wrong race.

thanks for the tips (everyone).

I do think I have to disagree with #4 though lee.. I mean, ya TvZ or TvP you need to wall in, but I'm not sure I consider that "turtleing." Sure youre not early expoing as quick as most zerg builds, but I don't think you have to necc turtle, esp vs toss who you should be owning in open battle with a lil micro early game-mid game.

I guess I just need to scout a lot more, remember to always sit a rine at the watch towers, etc.

i'm fairly certain that you can.

you do need internet for installation though.

ya, I remember reading a review that mentioned that theres no lan support but they were relieved that you didn't have to be online just to play single player like a lot of other games nowadays.
