back in my day we called it bnet not blizzard app
why there are two sc2 threads? the other thread is really autistic and mods dont do anything to remove.
Why is this happening? I am playing expansion multiplayer not standard. I ported all my maps from my old starcraft folder.

*pulls at corners of my eyes* sure lol
In ZvT what are you supposed to have as Z to counter a mid game tank/vessel/bio push?
I keep losing ZvT cause I can't break their front early and then they push out and I lose. I've been trying ling/hydra/lurker and just get run over.
>>174460928
read the guides on tl, fucking moron
>>174461093
calm the fuck down hotbigshit
>>174461093
eat your own dick slutboy fuckshitter
>>174460928
How many sunkens are you making?
What timing are you getting hit?
>>174460928
don't get hydras except to make lurkers against bio. use them to slow the terran down until you get defilers for dark swarm. and then tech into ultras.
so is this the capshitter general or what

go to channel /v/ on us east for games
I've been playing the original game (free version), are scvs supposed to stand still next to mineral when you set the rally point of a command center to a mineral patch?
>>174465563
yes they dont automine in bw you have to manually select them and click on the patches to make them
Is 150 apm enough to play BW? Sometimes I finish a game closer to 200 but that's usually shorter games (<10m)
>>174433591
do you really want scv unleashed onto the rest of the site
>>174466114
it should be enough to do alright.

ahh, very interesting, very interesting
Havent played since early HotS and my friends just got LotV and want me to play
What are the new op units/strats?
What do I mass in multiplayer matches to be hella op
depends what race you play
zerg: drones
protoss: probes
terran: scvs

Is responding to posts without replying to them a hot new meme?
is being a retardnorm a hot new meme? you fucking retard
is it really that hard to understand who we were replying to? let me give you a hint we werent replying to someone 40 posts above us
lol replynorms are so silly :3
inb4 read the TL wiki IDIOTS
How the fuck are you supposed to play Zerg on SC2? I can spend all my money making drones, buildings, and some upgrades and then I have no fucking army when I get attacked but if I don't make drones and buildings then I'll have no FUCKING MONEY to make a god damn army
im about to blow your mind get ready norm
how about you dont spend it ALL on drones you fucking retard
Read my post you FUCKING IDIOT OIL CAN PISSDRINKER
>if I don't make drones and buildings then I'll have no FUCKING MONEY to make a god damn army
what are your hotkey setups? in sc2 I did 4 for bases, 3 for buildings and 1 for army so I could 1a move my deathball. that doesnt work in bw because I need like 30 army hotkeys
oh yeah i completely forgot you cant make army and drones simultaneously as zerg and you start with 0 drones silly me
jesus christ where do retards like you come from
whats the worst is that from your question i can guarantee you are in bronze and probably cant spend minerals after saturating even one base
>>174476137
start of with 1-4 for army and 5-0 for buildings and later in the game use minimap/camera hotkeys for your buildings and expand army hotkeys to however many you need
>>174475534
ideally you want to make almost nothing but drones and queens until your opponent is ready to attack, then make only units
the simplest approach imo is to try to stay one base ahead of your terran or protoss opponent but dont necessarily saturate your newest expansion with workers until you're sure they're expanding and not planning to attack you off two bases
>>174473450
its from the sc2 generals.
they're shit dont go there trust me
*trusts you*
now tell me your battletag big boy
>>174484493
not until you stop using their meta
>1gb for a strategy game
Times sure have changed
I installed sc today, but I've been getting errors all day saying to try again to reconnect later. Is it a common issue or something just I have been having?
I haven't played Brood War since well before StarCraft II came out. Man, am I fucking bad. I'm not Korean enough for this shit. But alas, I shall train every day until Remastered comes out. On the flipside, my APM is now at least double what it is in StarCraft II.
>>174485896
did you run it as administrator when you opened the game the first time
>>174485896
Where are you from?
In my third world hell hole my ISP is shitting itself whenever it's a blizzard game.

>>174485998
Not the first time but I tried it a later time and no improvement.
>>174486013
Canada, but i'm running on an old toaster not that it should reasonably matter for an old game.
I was playing 1v1 fighting spirit earlier and someone was obsing my game and he laughed at my 400apm spam at the start then halfway through my apm settles to 150-200 and he laughed and said I'd be F- on iccup
are any of the launchers working for 1.18? to play on fish youre supposed to use the laghack which makes the game playable
>>174486708
i dont think anyone weven plays iccup anymore, every time i've checked in the last couple of weeks there's like 10 people online and they're all spics. what a babydick though
I thought old SC 1.8 was getting widescreen support?
>>174487247
coming with remastered if its coming at all
it sucks there's no battle.net client integration yet.
i want to see if my sc2 friends are playing bw
i bet they are but I dont know their battletag

They never said Classic BW was getting widescreen support, just the Remastered version.
If you look at the site or the trailer, the comparisons make this pretty evident.
