The Noodle Compound V. 2.0

Re: The Noodle Compound

Wait... do you have to go 3 robo expand against zerg?

I mean there has to be some other viable paths isn't there? Or I guess some of those are very micro intensive, which isn't always easy to pull off.

Although I fear a lot of people now will start screaming for nerfs to zerg, just because of Spanishiwa. When people begin to learn how to use their units effectively, while incorporating nydus worms and proper creep spread. Terran and Protoss just doesn't have the mobility to deal with it end game, at least not on the larger maps. You just can't get your units out quickly enough.

Also I'm going to take a wild guess that we'll be seeing more mineral line harassment with... crud what's their name again... those bug like creatures spewing green gooy stuff and with the mind control ability. >_> Those.

I just feel like a lot of zerg players just aren't inventive enough atm. I'll walk out on a limb here on sort of blame Idra for it, as he's a pretty well known player, and even he disowned Spanishiwas's playstyle. Which to me is absurd, since he's already proven that he can beat some of the better players out there already. Just watch the showmatch between him and TLO. TLO had nothing he could bring to the table in that series, and he's also one of the more imaginative players on the scene imo.

PS: Not considering the Korean players here, since I don't know hardly enough about them to cast an opinion. But generaly speaking the Korean and western players is a divided group.

Re: The Noodle Compound

this is how I play :

*build pylons and probes*

*forgets about army*

oh wait...*huge army attacks*

Re: The Noodle Compound

Well from what I've gathered watching vids, that is definately the correct way to loose.

If you can get an army, then become crushed later because you don't have an economy you're learning the wrong way.


Just taking a small tip from Day[9]. Build pylons, build probes, build pylons, build probes. Keep doing that, and if you're attacked and killed, then the next game you keep building pylons and probes, just cut back a little bit on the probes and invest that time in getting a couple gateways. Then pylon and probes, pylon and probes. Mix it up with some attacking units, and see how it goes.

Still getting killed by early pressure? Next game cut back a little bit more on the probes, and invest more in the army. Keep doing this until you find a good balance.


Of course this is ignoring all the other things like scouting, good building positioning and all the fancy stuff.

But if you can make it to where producing pylons and probes become second nature, then you'll have more resources (as in your mind being able to focus on other things while making pylons and probes) to focus on the army side of things. And on top of that you'll have an awesome economy.

I've not tried it myself just yet, mostly because I've barely played any SC2 in a long time, but it's def my plan when I start out again. Oh and if you want some to watch some vids, then def check out Day[9]. He's extremely thorough, and explains a lot of things which might not be obvious at first glance.


Spanishiwa has been mentioned a lot (can you tell I'm a huge fan yet? :jig but he's perhaps the best example I've got. Although his race is zerg, more or less the same applies. Make drones, make overlord. And he does it extremely well, to the point where when his opponents are at 40 workers, he can be close to 70. Saw a game from him recently where he spent over 10 drones building spine crawlers, and was still ahead in worker count by a good 20 or so workers.


Guess what happened whenever he was left alone...



Researching upgrades, building tech buildings, injecting larva, spreading creep. And when he was ready to go on the offensive, he goes all out. Nydus networks all over the map, fully upgraded ultralisks running rampant, zerglings harassing everywhere. Heck I've seen him push out with mass ultralisks and queens, using all the queens for transfusing the ultralisks making them an unstoppable force because of all the healing. Terrifying to behold. XD

3/3 upgraded broodlords by the 18 minute in-game mark? That's quite impressive to say the least.

Lol ofc it would be awesome! :jig: Although it depends on what you consider awesome.

And yea I guess my bday isn't that far off now. >_> I think this year I'm not going to have a party like last year. It was tons of fun, but god dangit I was tired on sunday. O_O

Basically on both friday and saturday I was up before 7 am, despite going to bed after midnight. On saturday I began drinking around 5-ish pm, and kept going until 5 am on sunday. Went to sleep, but my friend woke up me at friggin' 9 am asking if I could get him back to shore, since he wasn't feeling too well. Afterwards I cleaned up the cabin and got on the buss back home. >_>

Shore? onder:
Does cabin=boat?

If the answer is yes, then- DUDE! You have a boat-cabin? That's the most awesome thing I've ever heard! How come you never invited me over?

Oh lol. I should've been a bit more clear, but it wasn't even 8 am so. :azn:

It's not a boat-cabin, but neither can you get back to the roads without walking for a good hour or so through rough terrain. And with a boat it takes like 10 min tops or so one way.


But hey you're still invited over for a BBQ, just find your way to Norway and we'll make it happen. arty:

that's good because usually i can't! XD give me about two hard drinks or five ***** beers and im good for a few hours. i've gotten to that sick point a couple of times in my life that i never want to go back there again. i know my limits.

AWESOME! Hope you have tons and tons of fun! arty:

:yes:
^with envy

Yea knowing your limits is good. And I bet Mara is happy you can't drink a whole lot. Or dunno how prices are for you in the US, but here in Norway it is EXPENSIVE! It's more in a joking kind of way we say this in Norway ofc, but the less your better half drinks the better, since it's cheaper. :tongue:

Re: The Noodle Compound

i have no idea how Mara feels about me not being able to drink a lot. usually, we buy our poison from the stores and drink at home or someone else's house. so much better that way and i don't have to worry about weird guys hitting on me or weird redheads flirting with Mara... altho that did happen once, but she was harmless and i was highly amused when i was told about it. :grin:

 

[korialstraz]

Re: The Noodle Compound

Ahh I'm exactly the same regarding parties. Home parties beat going out everytime! arty:


Only time it wasn't so is when a small bar opened up close to us. Basically it was a private party, but at a bar! Pretty kickass, as I had I believe my 19th birthday there. People were buying me drinks, and I was drinking with both hands. The guy ran out of vodka before the night ended. By younger brother emptied his whiskey. x)

Harmless flirting isn't so bad unless you're like extremely jealous. Not to the point of making out and whatnot ofc. >_>

 

[kimiko]

Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!!! (though likely none of you are mothers :scared

Happy Children(Boy)'s Day and Cinco de Mayo!!

As there seems to be some B-Days, Happy B-Day to are you "getting-old"sters too! :alright:






Also, I have become a pal again :jig: :flip: :jig:.

Re: The Noodle Compound

Oh shoot Mother's Day coming up?

I won't even be able to visit my mother this weekend.

Or well I could visit my mom in blood (can't recall the exact term for it to save my life -.-), but she's been a bit of a ***** (excuse my French) in the past. Anyway won't be able to visit my step-mom. >_<


Edit: LMAO just noticed I flew past 4k posts without even noticing. ^_^

i can get jealous, but from what i was told, this girl wasn't all over him, just being really flirty and asking, "Well, do you have a girlfriend? Why isn't she here?" stuff like that.

Also, I have become a pal again :jig: :flip: :jig:.

Woah, my sigs are still here and everything, nice :grin:.
