I find SC2 TvT much more difficult then BW TvT actually, BW TvT was much more forgiving before Hellions / Marauders were introduced.
Swarm hosts are incredibly fun, Vipers are finicky at the moment with the recent switch in blinding cloud, Oracles are meh, Warhounds have their place and the recent hard nerf from 1.3 to 1.7 on their autoattacks is helping, Mothership core rushes are hilarious.
Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up

That said I've been playing on my other account recently, first time in over a year. SupastaR.928
You can call Blizz support and get them to fix the problem for you. it's a lot easier than a support ticket. They often ask if you have they game key, which i did not when my account was frozen. I just gave them some of my information and got my account back.
Hmmm...I see OP hasn't updated in a lil' while. Was there an update post I missed?
I'll post my UN if people still use this thread - I'd be really rusty if I actually played though.
Hey-o to everybody I know here. UN, Klazam, et. al.

I have two accounts. My smurf account ended up being my main account however. I started by playing Protoss on my main, and then off racing as zerg on my other account. now i only play zerg on my smurf account.

Because if you try to learn another race, it lowers your ladder MMR while you're fucking around getting the hang of build orders and keeping on top of injects or whatever. Having 2 accounts lets you keep your Protoss MMR and your Zerg MMR separate, which I presume was the point of having two accounts. I have a separate account to my main Terran for off-racing because I found a site selling keys for £20 instead of Blizzard Price (c)

^ pretty much what it is.
Sc2 was on sale for $30 one weekend so i picked up another copy. On top of that, i wanted it for my Korean exchange student. He had played Brood War, but never really played sc2. So i wanted to get him into sc2 and drop LoL. sadly, that did not happen.
I learned long ago that buying games for other people to get them off X game does not work. Buying games to try to get people to play games at all does not really work either.
The only time I would buy a game for someone in the future would be if I had money and if they requested that I buy it for them.

True. But it's not like i don't mind having another copy. I've actually thought about buying a third copy the next time it goes on sale. But then i'd have to buy 3 copies of HotS.

I can understand that. I started RTS games with Age of empires 1 and 2. I've tried Brood War after playing sc2, and it's so hard to get play that game after i've played RTS games that were newer, and easier for me to play at least. i don't know what i'm saying. i'm just rambling off.
My first RTS games were AoE2, Starcraft, and Shogun Total War. I love Brood War to pieces, but it is a game where unless you're at OSL/PL level, or near that, skill is defined as much by your ability to make up for the engine's shortcomings as anything else.
Seeing as the thread is seeing an uplift in posting, would anyone be interested in one last WoL tournament before HotS drops?
