Where is lecture 2?

[SamCamStudios]

He stated in the beginning of the class, it is all theory: it is not meant to make you be a better SC player, but to understand the concepts of management, resources, optimization, and economy along with a few other concepts.

In order to be a class it must be something more than just playing a game, as I hope you would understand.

Are you joking? if zerg goes 12 hatch at exp, I might as well check him with my zealots, nevermind 3 hatch before pool, which is best countered with first few zealots

[gotriceandshrimp]

@fight8001 More like no fighting until I can move out without getting swarming by Zerglings. No Protoss in their right minds would move out against Zerg with two Zealots and a Probe 5 minutes into the game.

[fight8001]

@gotriceandshrimp Oh, so you are "No fighting until you have 24 carriers" guy...

[gotriceandshrimp]

@ashardman Nonsensical. My probes would be mining and my Zealots wouldn't be out on the map going Zergling hunting. If such a scenario would pop up I doubt a Probe would make a difference since more then likely you would of been swarmed instantly by Zerglings. Cost for cost Zerglings beat Zealots in low numbers since proper micro can result on no losses on Zerg side.

[ashardman]

@gotriceandshrimp it takes 3 hits (16+16+16) for Zealot to kill zergling (35), o 2 hit when you have +1 attack(18+18). however, if you take probe along with 2 zealots, you can kill lot more lings, as it deals 5 dmg, so you save 33% of zealot hits. So, how many lings 2 zealot can kill? how many lings 2 zealot and a probe can kill?

Star craft 2 Serious Shit

[gotriceandshrimp]

"How many Zerglings a Zealot can kill"

If you need to take a class to figure that out then just please stop playing :)

[tik999]

this is all irrelevant. A Korean gamer can input a thousand commands per-second his teaching is invalid. I swear south korea is making super soldier starcraft players

[Gooshnads]

The guy asking "why did he have only 1 gateway"

Clearly a D- player =P
