[poehalcho]

Weee I won my first online introductory match
I feel a little sorry for my opponent, I've watched too many commentaries :[

reaper harass is awesome

EDIT:
2nd won through dc -.-
3rd owned by mass M&M&M D:

need to learn to mass up quickly...

I suppose I should mention I am Poehalcho.720

[vietxboy911]

Hope you guys are pro now.. I ahvnt played/updated the main topic in awhile Hopefully its up to date now, as another person has done most of it for me

[poehalcho]

I seem to be really bad late game :[
all these novice maps with their rocks prevent me from harassing, and I just can't pick what to do late game.

I did have one entertaining match, ended with a tie
both of us just base traded. and by the end I had 1 flying command center and a banshee, and my opponent had a few flying buildings and 1 marine and 1 maurader en 4 medivacs -__-
both dead economy, after harassing each others only 2 useful units we justed waited out 3 minutes till the game said it's a draw

[poehalcho]

can someone explain the bonus pool to me and the multiplayer rankings in general.
And is there any hope that the servers might one day all be connected?
I feel a little lonely in Europe :[
I'm the only person I know who plays this, so I was hoping to play with srf but most of you seem to be in NA D;

[SM-Count]

Yeah, it'll probably be connected one day. You get 1 bonus pool point every 12x minutes (forget how many, it's a little over 2 horus)

[Azilius]

I doubt they'll be connected in the games lifespan. The latency between servers is too much =\

[poehalcho]

Yeah, it'll probably be connected one day. You get 1 bonus pool point every 12x minutes (forget how many, it's a little over 2 horus)

no but...what is the bonus pool. what's the bonus and where do I swim :P?

[SM-Count]

If you win a game on ladder you get 'x' per win depending on the matchup (favorable, slightly favored, even match up etc.) and then if you have bonus pool points they get added on to the amount of points you win with the max being however many you won from the game. (e.g. if you win a game against an opponent that was favorable against you you win +17 points then if you have at least 17 bonus pool they get added and you get +34 to your ladder score)

When I say connected I don't mean consolidated into one server, I mean you can access any of the servers (EU, KR, CN, SEA, US) from any client, so US can play with EU if they want to deal with the lag. (this is what sc1 and wc3 had and why people hated/hates bnet2, among other reasons)

[poehalcho]

thx ^^
So if you haven't played for a long while your bonus pool stacks up a bit and when you win a game, you get shot up right in the rankings again?

also if your up for laughs...

Spoiler!

[poehalcho]

should I skip the practice matches D:?
I've got about 20 left. I feel like it might be doing more harm then good as I am left unable to scout, or expand quickly. But my perfectionistic side that works only for games tells me to play it anyway D:. Is the real deal much different from the practice matches?

[DinoNuggets]

ya just have fun and dont worry much about your ratio.
and the only difference in the real matches is you get ranked and if your really worried about gettin placed low then that might be a concern but you can always go up by winning

[poehalcho]

aight. Ranked Silver #29 Hydralisk Delta :D
Now.. how do I add myself to that srf list? I can't figure it out D:

also lol, got called a bad mannered shit by the last guy I fought to get ranked cause I didn't surrender xD
If all high ranked players in this game are this stingy, I just know I won't be able to hold myself back from trolling XD

[SM-Count]

Click "manage characters" and you'll see a page with a huge text box at the end, paste either your bnet profile url or sc2ranks profile url in there.

[DinoNuggets]

yay finally went up in leagues!

[SM-Count]

Go terran and proxy rax marauder, that always makes me happy.

[poehalcho]

Go terran and proxy rax marauder, that always makes me happy.

well I'm terran to begin with, but could you explain the strat?

I tried going mass marauder w/ concussive shells and stim + 3 blueflame hellion. though that strat failed.
I've come to think I'm much too slow with the marauders. by the time I go in It's already like 13 mins -__- and I'm with 16 marauders or something like that...but my economy simply can't support much more than that :/
now the game where I actually managed to try this out I failed bad at scouting, so I moved in with my whole army to the wrong base -___-. Then I carelessly clicked in the last possible base and my 3 hellions just rushed in through the main force and got obliterated -__-. Why doesn't starcraft keep the forces together D:
seriously...why are all the armies so damned disorganized!?

Its your job to keep them organized.

[poehalcho]

Its your job to keep them organized.

they need to learn marching :[

[SM-Count]

You attack with 1 marine and 2 marauders and fast shell research while walling off your main with your second rax. If the toss is bad or doesn't make the first zealot then you can just go and do tons of damage. If he does make the first zealot kite it around in his base and kill it and then do damage to probes.

For a 3 rax marine maruader with stim, you should have 50+ food at the 7 minute mark, use that as a basis.

[KillAndChill]

Started my placement match for season 2 and had to leave after a couple mins. Still got promoted. Bout damn time.
