The other Starcraft II thread seems to have self imploded up its own trump box and won't open….
Picked the game up last week and I'm absolutely loving it, finaly starting to get my head around all the mechanics after some hardcore Youtube viewing. I'm still working my way through the practice league and having some really excellent 1v1 games.
Are any of you fine MLG folk plying this… Im on most nights at the moment if anyone fancies hooking up… username's ShrubBandit so feel free to drop me an add through Battlenet
I have also got two 7 day guest passes if anyone wants one let me know and I'll drop you the code, you can download the game client from Battlenet for free.

Yeah.. really it should make you play others who are unranked to gauge your skill…. it keeps pitting me against top ten silvers now which I had no idea it could do, I assumed I would always play others in Bronze until (sorry.. if) I go up to Silver.
Its got a really steep learning curve… I'm 130 hrs in and still know less than 10% lol… love it all the same though
Thought I'd post this, as most of us seem to be Terran here is the unit counters list for our units. I've sized it so it prints nicely on A4.

Superb! Thats a nice simple way of referencing things, thanks for posting Ant.
I think most people are aware if it but the teamliquid site is broadcasting lots of great live game feeds all day now, I have been watching the official Blizzcon qualifiers the last few days and they have been brilliant.
Also stealing a few of Marine Kings early harass style moves which seem to work well. I'm in the top 15, but now I seem to be getting placed against high silvers so I can't imagine it will last long lol…
Hopefully catch y'all later for some Starcraft Sunday…. and Mat… get you Mac fired up!

I have just started playing this game add me Crystalskull 659. I had also been wondering why i have been getting anihilated within a few mins lol so i decided to have a read up online and found that build orders are key to this game and the orders change depending on what race you are playing against. this shit will take ages to learn *sigh*. A few custom practice games and any help would go a long way into getting me started.

@Crystal:
You really will get there, for accelerated learning watch some SC2 livestreams on twitch.tv the IPL league or Imbalanced.tv channels offer high quality video with excellent commentary.
If you look about 4 messages above here, I posted a table I made for Terran unit counters that has helped me immensly before you learn them.
Finally, if you add all of us and see us online, give us a shout and we'll have a game. If you could get on Skype aswell we can play co-op against the AI and give you a few stub build ideas to get you started.

@crystal
Firstly copy and paste 재미있게 보면 좋은 at the beginning of every game, its Korean for 'Good luck have fun' and scares the shit out of people lol.
You'll get there my good fellow… I have been playing for a good few months now and still learn something new every game. Feel free to add me on battle.net Shatnerzbassoon @ yahoo.co.uk and join us for a game or two online. Myself, Chris (AlteredEgo), Hunter and Ant are on there quite a bit.
My strongest play is definitely 1v1 rather than 2v2/3v3 (As this weeks installment of Micro your Macro will demonstrate, although its starting to get better following Ants Reaper revelation ) but if you fancy playing some AI 2v2 then add me on Skype too and I'd be happy to help out with a few pointers.
If I don't catch you before… see you on Sunday for some MLG Starfcraft Sunday
hmm, I never did do this game justice, played for a few hours and got royally owned to the bottom of bronze league before giving up in a hissy fit
I may have to give it a second chance

Picked up the starter edition on Friday and instantly upgraded to the full edition after completing the trial campaign missions. The whole game reeks of sheer class! It is also the most intimidating yet welcoming game I've ever played. Only played a couple more campaign missions and one 2v2 versus AI (I had little to no effect on the outcome of that match!) but can see myself playing quite a bit of this, even some multiplayer. I will add some of you guys from this thread, and feel free to add me – battle.net email is craigiehallam@hotmail.co.uk – Not sure how much I will be able to get on but will try my best!

To say goodbye to Micro your Macro with a bang, let's have one big Battle Royale this Sunday (4th Spet), around 9pm.
I will don my Jon Motson hat and commentate on affairs, maybe even pull a guest commentator in. Alcohol is not mandatory, but encouraged.

Special points must be awarded for fantastic drink combinations.
….like Pimms and Orangeade. Cap doffed on the sacrifices to modern medicine in testing that concoction on the human body.
