A Bionat: RE: Starcraft 2

Entaro Tassadar Friend,

So as you should know, unless you live under a particularly dense rock that blocks out all sound and anything of importance, on July 27th Starcraft 2 was released. Now if you're even more dense than I would hope one could ever be, let me give you a little background information.

In 1998 Blizzard released a space based RTS (Real Time Strategy) game featuring 3 races. First the Humans known the Terrans, an armor and gun heavy race that prioritizes having multiple specialist units to deal with specific threats, the Protoss a highly advanced alien race who equip all their buildings and all their units with shields prioritizing their strength and the overall longevity of their forces, and the zerg a hive mind race who specialize in swarming and quickly overwhelming the map with their superior numbers. This game would become a national sport in South Korea and would spawn one of the most anticipated sequels in gaming history.

My favorite race to play is the Protoss but I'm horrible at using them so like every other player in Starcraft I play as the Terrans.


Thors are so awesome

I find Starcraft most awesome because of the many strategies people employ to defeat their foes. You can watch two people play for hours and their style of play will constantly change in the ever long battle of countering and maneuvers.

Drone Rushes, Odd but effective if you play them right

Sometimes an unorthodox strategy is the best strategy because it just catches your opponent so off guard they wont respond properly, but more often and smart play is the best answer.


Do you like your Zerg original or extra crispy?

One of the unorthodox strategies I like in particular is the proxy Carrier strategy employed by some Protoss players. If you can get the carrier out fast enough in a place no one would look you can catch your opponent off guard and demolish them. However, you should probably build more than one.


If your Carrier gets countered by a marine something is wrong.

If you play things right you'll earn achievements and portraits to show off how much time you spend in front of the computer playing South Korea's best sport. The avatars are pretty cool so if you like the game I guess its worth it. Anyone who's played xbox 360 and ps3 should be used to the idea.
