90 Minute Starcraft II Match

I had a 90 Minute 2 v 2 match last night, 4 Terrans......

Sooo much fun, finally won with a MASSIVE army of Siege Tanks and Marines with Stim's.

How do you counter against someone who sits back and just builds dozens of Missile Turrets and lines his walls with Siege tanks, basically just sitting there until YOU attack.

I tend to build pretty fast and drop Medivac's etc, try to get behind enemy lines, but this guy had so many Turrets, I was destroyed before I could drop anything.

In the end, my partner built a massive Airforce and my ground troops took out each turret and he advanced further and we eventually destroyed his base.

Either way, love the game !

To a Terran that is turtling.. I Map control expand.. 8 Gate.. get to 200 food with immortals, zealots and stalkers and pound his front door down.

I zealot micro to kill air defense, sneak a few voids to tear up his base while the ground is pounding everywhere.

OK

Awesome TIP that I did not know about.... GROUPING BUILDINGS

I did not know that you could do that, holy crap. 3 Barracks + Reactors .... group those suckers together, pump out 6 Marines at a time ?!!?.

Ownage.

Pez,

you can select all three buildings ...hit ctrl 1 to assign it as group one...

then when you are micro'ing at the enemy base youi can just hit the 1 key ..bring up your barracks that you assigned to it ..and make each one pump out guys....and go right back to micro'ing (with out having to move the map ect) you can do that for all your buildings , starports one group , another for factories ect ..

it refered to as macro'ing ...

Yeah I was aware that you could bind keys to buildings etc, but I wasnt aware that you could group more than 1 building to a single key and have it pump out multiple units. that really helps in creating a large army fast !
