Playing as Terran with a MMM ball with Vikings, when you engage a Colossus ball how do you micro and what units do you target?

Vikings going after the Collosi I can do, but do I kite the zealots with my marines/marauders? Or just push to kill the Collosi asap then kite?

Does this change much against a low number of sentrys/forcefields vs a high number?

ty!

Columc

I try and kite away my bio away from the clossi, while stuttar stepping killing the zealots, try and micro your vikings to the angle were stalkers arent at so you can kill collsi more easily

Anyone manage to get the Terran 'Training Day' achievement recently?

Train 10 marines in 320 seconds (5.20) I can get it in under 5,30, just can't beat that.

I go 9 depot, 10 rax, 11 gas, then 2nd rax at about 12/13 with reactor on it as it finishes. 1st rax constantly builds marines.

Errr ... I think I got the training day without even thinking about it. Pretty much like all the other achievements I have. It's not hard. Try 11\11rax, but probably 12\14 rax will do as well. 4 rax. TLO's 6\7 rax. Basically a lot of rax and no gas

I can never get the sniper shot achievement tho. I suck at clicking =\

Think that took me about 15 tries to get it.......actually doing that was the reason I stopped trying to get each campaign achievement, it was ruining my enjoyment of the game!!
Only now going back over the list to try and get some more.

Going to keep working on Training Day though....

Nope! However I did get a new job which I'm starting Monday and my hours are 5:30 - 2:00PM which means I get a lot of SC2 time in. My birthday is next week too which means an influx of $$$$ which in turn means a new laptop which in turn means finally playing SC2 again

Gonna be good! How be things back at home?

(Hi Khaz, Funky & RM too!)

Good luck with the studies. I know how difficult it is to mix college and starcraft :P

Why oh why do so many players(Terrans in particular) decide to drag a game out for as long as possible until they eventually lose? The amount of games I've played today where Terrans would start floating CCs around the map :mad:

Decent players know when they've lost, sick of this. Especially when these particular games can last up to 30 minutes or more. Just wasting time. I have better things to be doing then playing hide and go fúcking seek with your CCs.

You should probably get to a decent level then, shouldn't you?

On a more serious note I finally finished downloading the EU client and am on my way home from work to begin downloading the patches for both EU and NA accounts. So I should be good to go in a few days! See all you noobs on BNet soon!

On a second, even less noteworthy note: if anyone wants to play on my NA account you are more than free to do so (after my placement games - which won't be until next week probably) however you'll need to get in contact with me about some details. The reason(s) people may want to use an NA account:

1) It's a significantly easier ladder (skill) level than EU
2) Different strategies/playstyles and approaches
3) It's not your account so there's no obligation to "play to win"*
4) Get away from EU and just become an unknown in NA*
5) A good opportunity to grow and develop as a player
6) Saves you $60

* certain "T&C" apply such as not adding RealID's, but nothing too strict. Will be discussed before giving my info.

Happy friday \o/

I've played feck all 1v1s so I'm still down in the lowly ranks :pac:

IRL_Sinister

I want to take this opportunity to express my deep discomfort and displeasure at the fact that even though I did not want to, my EU placement STILL managed to put me in Masters Division. I am not happy.

godspal

I swear to god I could have killed the Terran I just played there!
He over-commits to a 2 rax, bunker pressure, losses like 5 SCVs, spends the rest of the game catching up and then, when I finally beat him, he types out!
-gg
-has left the game.

I told him where to shove it, and then he quits, and I rage at him hard and then he threatens to Ddos me!
If I could get my hands on him!

EDIT: Top 8 Plat now though, playing high Plat to Low Diamond now. Pretty happy with my play recently. Except ZvZ which is still a nightmare.

IRL_Sinister

I'm looking for training partners (gold+) from all races to help me get back in shape. It will generally be 7PM+ GMT from when I'll be available.

Contact me in-game at: Sinister.947

Don't need be active
Don't need to skilled
Don't need be mannered

I'll take anything and anyone so I can practice all my timings etc.
