Played the SC2 beta the other day. What an amazing step it has taken. Protoss'n it up, I decided to just see all the units, definitely loved the blinking and shielding units, along with the battle turning, mother ship.

I just watched the GSL open Season 3 SC2 Game in Korean on Gomtv.net
It was awesome!
I play Protoss. Personally, I think in combat wise, Protoss is the hardest race to play with. Protoss always, if on equal mining sources, get less units than Terran or Zerg, so being a protoss player really have to out smart his opponents in combat. Pure combination of Zealouts and Stalkers just won't do it against pure Marine and Mauders with upgrades (since their upgrade can be done both simultaneously (stimpack) and faster when facing off they are always already upgraded).
And thanks to the patching of downgrading Void Rays. Void Rays is no longer needed more than 1 or 2 units against Terran. Mass Void Rays are only good against zerg IF they go for roaches and into late mutalisk, but screw against Hydras.

So... Is anyone still playing SC2? I just got it yesterday and I'm enjoying it so far. Haven't done a lot of the story, but the multiplayer is still addictive as SC1. Anyone wanna play me? I'm still pretty new at SC2, but it'll be fun playing some of you guys here.

I play random on Starcraft II. For some odd reason, I can't perfect the use of any one race nor am I bad with any of them. Ergo, art of randomness to keep my opponent on edge.

I'm a protoss fan just because whenever I see a protoss match mind boggling tactics are always involved.

Terran for me. Gawd I love Thors. It's just like having Arnold at the click of a button!

Brotoss all the way man. Coolest race, hands down. Terran is too easy to have fun playing with, and Zerg are too dependent on Mutalisks. Anyways, I'd be down for some games if anybody is interested. I'm not amazing or anything, but feel free to add me!

try upper diamond and everything is completely opposite of what you said xD
protoss becomes rather cheap, terran becomes hard, zerg is dependant on roaches.

Terran is my favorite race, loved em ever since starcraft 1 and have a special place in my heart for my fellow future human cousins :) don't get me wrong though its fun playing as other races but Terran i just love how they are and how balanced they are comparatively speaking to the others....that's not to say that i don't have some favorite characters in the game from other races..mind you but aren't them medics cute ? :P

You hate Cannon Rushes? Well, 1v1 on any small map... You gotta watch out for a DT Rush if you're playing as Zerg.
When I was still in Silver, I remember sending 5 Stalkers into the Z's natural expansion attacking Drones, Queen(s), etc. Roach-lings try to "swarm" my Stalkers. Oh well, I just blinked off creep and ran off. What Z isn't is expecting is that there are no more Drones harvesting minerals/gas in his main, while his hatchery is half-dead. And the DTs responsible are still alive and without a lair and/or a Spore Crawler detection is impossible. GG. That was the only time I won with a DT rush in Silver.
You wanna what's worse than losing to a Cannon Rush or a DT Rush, though? Losing to a cheesy worker rush.
