Marine Arena - Pub Stomp with Beetles (Commentary)

[barfreo]

@OneTooMany633 this strategy is great keep up the good work!

[ArcaneDevourer]

@ReclaimMA Definitely, but it does have a downside. If you are pulling them into a crushing defeat, some will not censor their language. If your mother and five-year-old sister are there...

[OneTooMany633]

@Arcane, the turrets do detect you but beetles are strong enough to tank the damage. A good late game option is to use the destroy base defense ability and then just snipe their CC

[ArcaneDevourer]

@OneTooMany633 Good point, as I forgot about the rapid regeneration ability. I personally prefer to ftw with armored reavers, then get wraiths late as my opponents go muta or void to counter me, and use non-leveled dt to void prison the flyers.

[ArcaneDevourer]

I like the concept a ton, but shouldn't the turret detected you when the beetles went in? Or did I just miss it?

[henriiez]

Don't you think you sniped OneTooMany merc bases?

[OneTooMany633]

@7DrPhysics, I was making a reference to his skill level with the comment about the time it took him to go beetle. It was like a 27minute beetle, which is an upgrade you would want to get at the 10 minute mark. He had 221 games played with 17 wins, but that is almost expected of a random ally in MA, Lol

[7DrPhysics]

Lol. A good pub stomp video of Roaches. :)

Nice job, OTM.

Also, with what euryleia was saying about Blue at 10:40 ...

I kind of agree with her, as it looked like Blue didn't use his Roaches except "moving into the base arena, then moving back out."

I don't understand your response: He got beetles past 20 minute mark?

I don't think it has anything to do with that, lol.

I just wanted to point this little thing out, lol.

[OneTooMany633]

@ eury, well he didn't get his beetles till well past the 20minute mark. So considering that, I think he did pretty good this game.

[euryleia847]

@10:40 the blue ally burrow moved into the base area, then moved back out. LOL Why was he even there? Bearing witness?

[euryleia847]

It's the attack of the Health Bars army.

yeah I like playing with heros but the lag makes hero play impossible.

The zombie mode did help out with lag earlier as people didnt have good strats ready. Ive decided to stop playing MA for a while until they fix the lag (mandatory squad mode would be nice)

[mackross]

good video as always but how can you play with that much lag?

looks like its impossible to micro at some moments.

Ive had to stop play MA because of this problem

[OneTooMany633]

@mackross Yea, I also hate they lag. It was particularly bad early on in this game because people where just massing lings in their base. The lag is due to mass amount of units as the SC game engine cannot handle all of the animations because it wasn't designed to do so. The only way we could fix this is by changing the game a lot, unfortunately... But I do really dislike the lag also.

[xMorgasm92]

I need to try this game out...cool vid

[ReclaimMA]

I love when people talk trash and they don't know how to play. If someones raging your doing a good job!
