I Suck at Starcraft 2 - Episode 1 - The Suckening

**For optimum quality, please select 720p**

I Suck at Starcraft 2 is a http://www.cynicalbrit.com production.

This is the first episode of a series, documenting just how terrible I am at Starcraft 2. The purpose is to provide a unique perspective on the game in it's beta phase, that of the absolute beginner. The series starts with my very first game against a real opponent and continues onwards (hopefully) showing me getting better and learning from my mistakes. I will mercilessly rip my own performance apart, analysing exactly what I did wrong and how to do it better, against an experienced sparring partner.

If you're looking for pro-play, you're in the wrong place, this is anti-pro, the worst of the worst, this is "ISS2"

Production information :-

The Starcraft 2 beta does not support 720p resolution at the correct resolution. As a result, this video will have small black borders. Annoying I know. Settings wise, this is on ultra, but obviously doesn't look quite as good as it would it were played in 2560x1600, which is my usual resolution. Not that you could record in 2560x1600 anyway. The video is recorded in 1280x768 at 30fps.

For those interested in what kind of machine I'm running to play on Ultra at 2560x1600, it's not as beefy as you'd think.

CPU : E8400 @ Stock 3ghz
RAM : 4gigs OCZ Reaper-X DDR2800 @ 4.4.3.15
GFX : 2x ATI 5770 in Crossfire
Monitor : Dell 3008WFP. Ok yeah, that bit's expensive.

Fact is this game runs on almost anything, it's extremely well optimised even in beta and looks great.

@puppetmassster Blistering Sands was a Season 1 and beta map. It's a really cool map actually and I miss playing on it.

@iHeardULikeNOODLES Yes! It IS a lot better than the gateway! There's no reason not to turn them all into warpgates! It makes them a no-brainer which is a stupid game design. I wish that Way gates had faster build times (after the research) so they become macro-choices.

Map looks a lot like Arid plateau

[iHeardULikeNOODLES]

@BaileysBeads It takes 5 seconds to warp in a unit + 30 second cooldown. With a normal warpgate it takes 38 seconds if it's a sentry and 42 if it's anything else. Also, you can warp in units wherever you have a pylon. I think the warpgate in is A LOT better than the gateway.

its on fast speed.....oh beta, you so silly xD

@hatsXIV14 I'm not kidding, it would be way cooler if the protoss player could weigh between brute macro production or specialised warp-ins. It doesn't need to be a buff or a nerf, just a balanced option.

@BaileysBeads lol you must be trollin'

[BaileysBeads]

@elcocoscoconut I still think it's stupid there's no real advantage to the waygate.
