I'm SO BAD at playing this game online! Anyone know any good youtube tutorials for good online strategy? I know where were a lot for WarCraft 3, some good, some bad.
I'm really terrified of playing online.
Largely because I can neither rush nor defend against them.
Best RTS moments were deliberately trucing for half an hour and then having massive epic boomer wars.
Heart of The Swarm + refereeing options, Blizzard, and be quick about it!
It really depends on the kind of rush you're talking about. The most deadly is a 6 pool zergling rush(build nothing else but a spawning pool) or a Protoss cannon rush (drop cannons in your opponent's base). But those are very large gambles. If they fail, you've basically won the game. Don't be afraid to pull probes off minerals to attack things.
If it's a bit later and you're facing a more "traditional" rush, you need to wall yourself in. Pylon at the convenient mini-ramp to your base, gateway (or 2), and then 2 zealots to block off the wall. If zerglings cannot surround things, they have a hard time killing stuff. For marines, you may have to entice them to come up the ramp because your opponent might try to micro you away from your base. Generally a photon cannon that can shoot down the ramp will usually keep the marines straight. A photon cannon + a few zealots is enough to deter most rushes. Once you've walled yourself in successfully you can go about teching to whatever you want. A lot of people use void rays.
Yes, I meant the early-game rushes. I'm all for crushing your opponent with almighty force in the mid to late game (or being crushed, as long as it's done with finesse)
Tribe of Judah has several active SC2 players in its StarCraft chapter.Necroing this thread. Wondering if any forum goers here would like to play some 2v2 or 3v3 games on the ladder. <3 SC 2
