    Starcraft Co-Op Mutation #196: Barrier to Entry

    Starcraft Co-Op Mutation #196: Barrier to Entry


    Co-Op Mutation #196: Barrier to Entry

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 05:04 AM PST

    The hardest wars are those of attrition. Ulnar is under siege, minerals can be difficult to harvest, and Amon's army is both resilient and fanatical. Push the locks as hard as you can, and hope it is enough.

    Map: Lock & Load

    Barrier
    Enemy units gain a temporary shield upon the first time they take damage.
    Mineral Shields
    Mineral clusters at player bases are periodically encased in a shield which must be destroyed for gathering to continue.
    Just Die!
    Enemy units are automatically revived upon death.

    Notes:

    • Just Die! revives enemies after their death animation. They respawn with full health AND full energy and cooldowns.
    • The first kill does not yield biomass nor essence.
    • Mineral shields are 50 health structures. A minimap ping indicates their arrival. If not destroyed they last a very long time then they disappear on their own.
    • Player units and static defense DO NOT autotarget Mineral Shields.
    • Barrier gives a 100 health shield to units that don't get killed in 1 hit.

    2020 GSL Super Tournament Season 1 bracket

    Posted: 04 Feb 2020 12:08 AM PST

    Why is there so little information about the Super Tournament?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 06:25 AM PST

    So its 2 Days until the first 2020 GSL Super Tournament and I am really looking forward to it, but its really weird that we have neither a time schedule, nor the match ups nor a prize pool announced for it yet. I mean I really wanna watch this on wednesday but I dont even know how many games are played on what day (I guess 4 ro16 games wednesday, 4 thursday then Quaters friday, semis and finals at saturday?) but it really makes it hard to plan ahead for this with my schedule.

    The scvrush tournaments have not been getting as many players recently and this is unnaceptable, let's give them the proper love and support they deserve for running the open tournament every tuesday and the bronze to masters every wednsday.
    I am going to sign up for tommorows tournament with my zerg, which is bottom of the barrel diamond 3, if no one else signs up i will get atleast $5 dollars for doing nothing.
    Why not sign up and try to take that second or maybe even first place prize from me?
    There is usualy a cast of the tournament streamed on the SCVrush twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/scvrush1/ .
    I hope to see many people there.

    Qualifiers for the first online UK tournament in 2.5 years start in 5 hours from this post!

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 06:07 AM PST

    Qualifiers for the first online UK tournament in 2.5 years start in 5 hours from this post!

    The UK scene doesn't usually get too much attention on Reddit. I'm hoping I can change that!

    The UK StarCraft 2 Team are putting together a £250 online tournament for citizens and residents of the UK and Ireland. With prize pool support from RiSky, with £50, and Matcherino we're hoping to put funds back to UK and Irish StarCraft players outside of epicLAN!

    In UK Scene fashion the prize pool runs deep, awarding everyone who makes playoffs a guaranteed cash prize!

    Matches will be played every Monday and Thursday at 7pm UTC (With a two week break for IEM and epicLAN at the end of February) over on https://www.twitch.tv/ukstarcraft2

    Qualifier links and more information can be found here:
    Qualifiers: https://challonge.com/communities/UKStarCraft2

    Liquipedia: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/UKSC2_League

    Thanks guys, I hope you can join me in making this a success!

    GSL calendar 2020

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 09:01 AM PST

    My girlfriend and I are thinking about visiting Seoul sometime in Spring. Being an SC fan I would of course love it to overlap a GSL event, ideally final.

    Is there anywhere we can see the calendar?

    Thanks!

    Why did the StarCraft season not end?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 06:09 AM PST

    Those that are familiar with the SC 2 ladder will know that something stranage has recently happened in relation to the SC seasons: season 42 started on 27-11-2019 and it was expected to end on 23-01-2020. This, however, never happened and the end date of this season is now 11 March 2020. I was wondering if anyone knows why the season end date was extended and whether any new maps will be added to the ladder for season 42?

    Trying to remember an old "macro" training style I used to do..

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 09:28 AM PST

    Back in the day someone came out with a guide on teamliquid using I believe sc2gears or something similar where basically it would tell you what your macro level was. Basically if you macro'd like a bronze player, silver etc. The premise was tier 1 you would not take gas, make nothing but scv, barracks and marines. The goal was to spend all your money, and keep it low the whole game. After a while, once you got used to this you would process to tier 2.

    Does anyone remember what this was called? I've been looking for it all morning but I just can't quite get the wording right to find it!

    Thank you in advance.

    Edit: ofcourse once I make a post I find it... It was called " the staircase method" if anyone else who's never heard of it wants to check it out.

    Hey guys. Been playing this game for about a week now and I'm really having a lot of fun. I wanted to know are there any guides on YouTube to help me get better? Specifically I want to learn "rack rush" and "cannon rush". Thanks

    Help! SC1 campaign AI question.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2020 07:33 AM PST

    I'm playing SC1 campaign these days after Wings of Liberty Campaign. But AI is kinda bad. Too easy. Blizzard already mentioned that SC1 campaign AI is designed to be defeated(feels like SC2 normal difficulty).

    Is there any way to make it harder, or change/edit the script itself? Like 'Brutal' difficulty campaign in SC2.

    I found the mod(UEDAI project), but it changes graphics and gameplay aspect, so I don't want to play it. Difficlut/Insane campaign AI only offers single pattern of scripted waves, and its building/rush AI looks very bad(seems like bug - building unnecessary stuff everywhere, and hoarding units without actually attacking with it after few waves).
