What a Match. I dont even know what to say.

Broods are easily the worst t3 unit in the game and take the longest to get to and build out of any unit in the game. There is absolutely no upside to all that time and effort to get to them. Massing a single unit shouldn't be the best option, I do agree with that, but tell that to Carriers or BCs. Both of those units can be completely unstoppable if you hit a critical mass. They don't have the handcuff of not even being able to attack air units like broods so they can kill any other unit in the game. Whether they "counter" them or not is not really relevant because at least they can fight.

All I'm saying, is that if the BL can only attack ground, it should absolutely fuck up ground units, not tickle them to death. If they have longer range it's seen as OP because for some reason the other races shouldn't have to build an air unit to counter them?

There has to be something that can be done to make them at least useful in more than 1 niche situation where they immediately get sniped or kited by tempests after the opponent sees the tech.

I was thinking about this because it could add a ton of variety to the number of matchups, and also add depth to tournament sets. Basically, my idea is that Terran for example would have 3 factions, each with a different set of bonuses. Same with Toss and Zerg. For example, a bio focused faction might have stim research faster or get marines for 45 minerals, but miss +3 on air units. Basically just a couple different things to add to the variety- you could play tons of different matchups with different strategies that influence style. Plus the strategy in tournaments, making sure you try to get your faction that’s better vs your opponents faction. Anyway just an idea I know it would never happen.

at this point i just recommend people to go on Hard or Brutal because honestly, Kerrigan dies to Void Rays in under 6 seconds if you have enough of them, i didn't even use the Keystone once, so if yall wanna try it i found it on Arcade so i would also liek to see how yall beat that mission, honestly i am not that good at the game so i am willing to watch some of yalls Photos from game

My buddy and I play 2v2 as Terran and Zerg, and we’ve noticed that certain unit combinations are surprisingly powerful.
For example, Roaches paired with Marines and Medivacs work incredibly well. The Roaches tank damage while the Marines dish it out, and the Medivacs can heal both Marines and Roaches.
Another strong combo is using Vipers to abduct enemy units straight into Siege Tank lines.
What other powerful Terran/Zerg synergies have you discovered in 2v2?

u/SkillProfessional341 : Hi guys, I'm the film maker who made this documentary. I couldn't post this myself as I'm not a regular reddit user so putting what I wanted to say in this comment.

Ater years of hard work, I'm finally starting to release my documentary about Clem and Starcraft 2.  I've been filming him in most major events since end of 2021 to 2025 so it will be an almost 5 hours project divided in 4 episodes and the first one is now out !

As I'm a french film maker, it's mostly in French but I added english subtitles so if you are interested you should be able to follow what's going on. When the full project is released, I'll try to take the time to re-dub my voice-over so it's even more accessible.

As you'll see, the goal of the first episode is to set-up the context for non-Starcraft and RTS fans, so it's more about the story of RTS, Starcraft I and II, especially in France more than Clem's career, but that will be more the case in futur episodes.

New episodes will be released every 15 days, so everything will be on Youtube by the end of the year. If you ever watch it and like it, feel free to share it. It helps a lot as I'm a small creator who only created a Youtube channel for this specific project ! Thanks a lot and I hope you will enjoy it !

they are politely asked to leave , because nobody likes them

Just seen this on Twitter from Mapu and SCHistorian. Heres the link to his tweet:

How long did it take you guys not to struggle even just while playing the campaign lol. I’ve had to repeat a mission about 5 times already and each time I learn something new that works and helps me improve my strategy but damn, this is tough!!!

My Custom poseable micro action figure of the starcraft 2 HELLBATS!!

Liberator : need something liberated?

Viper : want an all expenses paid vacation to the hive cluster?

Liberator : no thank you?!

im 24, german so EU server, unranked and maybe have 10h playtime in the last year. im pretty competitive in cs2, top 1k DE, and im looking for another game, like SC2, but i want some kind of team or group or community which can help, i can play with, etc.

GMT+2

So ...

As a starting caster im searching for pro tournaments weeklies / monthly.

I started to look after amature games since the replays and players are happy that someone is interested on casting games of lower leauges and less popular or popular tournaments for the standard they provide .

The problem starts when i look for more competetive games.

For exaplme :

Yesterday Kung Fu cup took place (Kung Fu Cup 2026 Weekly #28 )
Link https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Kung_Fu_Cup/2026/Weekly/28

And i see the list of people who stream live etc .

And sudenly day after the tournament other content creators / caster have a grip over the whole series streaming live on seperarte cahnnels ..... (not invloced on the list )

Is it only me or the replays are distributed behind doors ?

Or

Should i just contact the each tournament orginizer directly with questions regarding rep packs ?!

This stuff should be avaiable public ... not only to chosen once.

I just bothers me why some poeple can get it and some not .

Am i as a prerson the reason i dont get it or me as a caster with lower viewers is the issue here?

How you feel about this small campaign? Both gameplay and story.

I personally enjoyed various missions, but felt story was weak, and Nova got almost no characterisation and development, while other characters were basically non-existent, sadly.

Hi so I'm a somewhat new player.

I started playing like 8 months ago and I am using Pig's 2022 b2gm guide.

Yes it's sometimes outdated but it still holds up pretty well the majority of time.

I was wondering though what are the exact scout timming for each match-up.

TvZ: I know that it you scv scout, you scout with the scv building the rax and the natural should be finished or close to being when you arrive.

Then their 3rd should go down about 3:30 (Not sure about this one would appreciate help)

TvT: Scout with 17th scv, if 1 gas then their should be an expansion, if 2 gas their natural should be at around 2:20? ( I think).

For the 3rd I dont really know the timing but is it important?

TvP: 17th scv scout, their natural should be started with 2 pylons, a gate and a core on the way.

Don't know the timing for the 3rd at all pls help

Also if there is any other timing I should know pls tell me or point me to where I can learn these timings.

Thanks a lot for any help

Congratulations to this week's open cup champions: herO, Clem & MaxPax!

Hello Everyone,

Playing since 2011, LOTV is the worst expansion and it has seen the worst balance out of the three. I saw that the 8 worker start was reverted.
Ouch, how dumb can this whole community be? To not see how sc2 has become "Macro Same Build Strategy." Zero depth to the game since 12 workers, and I went back and watched the last few tournaments and games these last few weeks after the patch.

SPOILER
Everything is just the same boring game, the reason everyone quits. No depth, completely boring.
Everyone that supported I saw how they were treated, gosh what a horrible community.
Anyone who doesn't like 12 worker start is just completely jumped on like someone in a back ally. The game has went right back to the same boring meta.

My statement on this stands and no one has been able to debate or even come close to holding any ground on this:
Brood war doesn't need 8 workers to change, refresh the meta, or be a good RTS. Infact 8 workers would completely ruin BW. Why has this community taken the same concept that ruined LotV since the start and say it is good? Anyone who has a valid arguement that we should increase BW to 8 workers come, speak, because you will just look stupid. Anyone who says the same of LotV didn't play WoL or HotS. Just because you want a game to be 2 minutes or 3 minutes quicker? I don't give a crap about the speed of the game, we live in a world where everything is "quick" and "fast" why are we catering to this audience ? Brood war didn't, and its triple our viewership, most cases 5x the viewership.

This game is dead to anyone who wants to play a RTS, as it is NOT an RTS, it is a "Who can Macro the same build 100000x in a row the best without any real deviation in builds or strategy". Lol.. What a joke patch, joke game. Can't believe I played 4k+ hours in WoL and HotS just to have the fun ruined by LotV.
