Crossfire, yay!

Hmm.... so this new patch means VRs are doomed to be as slow as fuck forever...

This is a good thing. VRs deserve to be nerfed to oblivion.

Oh hey, new league for me to never reach

Shhh I love SC2 too, I was just being opportunistic scum. HATERS.

What are some good mid-to-late toss game strategies after 4gating?

depends on if you can pinpoint your opponents build, which I doubt anyone can legitimately do without tons of practice.

There are none, if you four gate correctly you should have won already.

Serious answer: What PEG said, and don't rely on four gate quite as often. 3 gate robo does plenty of wonders too (3 gate star works too if you want).

what a boring game.

[Flameaxe]

Wow, that guy was kind of a twat. Hiding your orbital in the corner and defend it with vikings. Its like he wants to tie...

He happened to put it in the one place I looked last

It's kinda my fault.

[Flameaxe]

Still, lifting off and hiding your base in the corner of a map is sort of a low move, even for bronze.

[ReaperCharlie]

Dude, I always used to do that.

Or the equivalent of that, in Age of Empires/Kings. I'd send all my villagers into the corner to build a new town center and abandon my base.

While they were razing one base, I'd have created another just as fast. In that way, I was often able to stay alive indefinitely, or at least until I could get enough of a military advantage to raze their base(s).

Dang I really need to update my computer so I can play SC2 with you guys! Even on all the lowest settings, it's still choppy.

[Flameaxe]

But the difference is, he had his main building in the air, off the map. He can't collect resources, and he can't sustain an army, so he really can't make the argument that he's playing for the win (at the time he had maybe two marines scattered about, and one starport to make vikings of all things.)

[ReaperCharlie]

Oh, well that's different. That's just dumb. But yeah, I am a huge subscriber to the whole "build multiple bases and control all possible avenues of movement" theory. I have yet to see how it will translate over into SC2 though. I am quite excited.

Wings of Liberty is sitting all lonely on my shelf next to my computer (well, it's sandwiched between Brood War and Far Cry, but you know what I mean). Can't wait for Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void!~

Still no sign of Nuwen. The only people that added me back was her, Claus and SK so far.

[Moospiker]

Weeeellll I suck at this game currently.

(I'm in Bronze League, don't tell anyone)

I'm improving though.
