http://www.starcraft-replay.com/ Welcome to Starcraft 2 Replay. This website contains Starcraft 2 guides, replays, news, build orders, forum discussions about Starcraft 2. http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/printable-sc2-maps.php http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/printable-sc2-maps.php While waiting for the final release of SC2 with Blizzard sorting all the issues out (so much post-patch13 lag!), I decided to learn the maps that are most popular. From watching the replays, I would like to chart out what the players are doing on a map. If ur like me who hasn't played SC for ages, learning the new maps will help u out. Alas, the prob is there are no printable maps around after i ...

Just make sure you wall off your base correctly with supply depots and a barracks to make sure that you survive until then. Build Order 10: Supply Depot 11: Refinery (put 3 SCVs on it as soon as possible) 12: Barracks 15: Refinery #2 (put 3 SCVs on it as soon as poss...

The trick requires 3 things 1. A lot of stalkers 2. An Observer (for vision of the destination) 3. Blink researched Lets face it, when you want to blink all your stalkers a long distance, (lets say from one island to ...

This game is an unconventional Korean ZvT in which the Terran player, SlayersBoxeR, massed Thors with some Hellion support against the Zerg player, Cellawerra, who often switched tech in an attempt to battle the Thors. This replay is excellent not only for the interesting gameplay but also f...

Basically a couple of units win you the game. Not very helpful if you arnt being pressured enough to really have the need to try in the slightest bit. Obviously playing on the ladder will always be the best practice, but this is not for trying out a new strategy But more of macro/micro practice but mainly macro. This AI provides you a les...

You might have guessed from the title, but just for repitition, This is not a strategy guide.This is merely a guide to do funny stuff in Starcraft 2! Blizzard does have a very good sense of humour, and it seems that they created the following funny techniques you can do within Starcraft 2. Dancing & Cheering Yes, you did here right!

Sun, 11 Apr 2010 03:27:58 +0200 http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/mothership.php http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/mothership.php The Mothership Before Yo Mommaship got so fat , it was quite the unit to aspire to and get out to the field as soon as possible. Not only did its devastating Vortex ability cost 75 energy units, allowing it to be cast in every battle easily - it was also a fighting beast itself. With 400/400 hp/shields, a powerful, rapid attack that could take down workers (sans SCV... Wed, 31 Mar 2010 10:14:12 +0200 http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/void-rush.php http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/void-rush.php The Void Ray is a very unique unit with a distinct Protoss feel. Few tier 2 units in the game can inflict so much damage in such little time, and so it did not take long for Protoss players to abuse the potential of this unit. Requiring only the Cybernetic Core as a prerequisite and the Stargate to manufacture, the first 200/150 Void Ray can be brought to the field very quickly - especially with...

Then I'd expand and use one queen to slowly get my economy up. This strategy worked beautifully, but I'm not playing against great players. I was watching the Zotac Cup #5, and saw that Haypro used a much later Roach Warren against Protoss. I watched t...

So far, Zerg games have been (let's ignore ZvZ for the moment) relatively straight forward. Defend from any harass the Terran or Protoss might throw at you ( Vikings, Phoenix, Reapers, Immortal pushes), expand and macro up your Hydralisk/Roach army and try to out expand your opponent. Throw in Infestors and sneaky Nydus Networks+Lings and you've got your opponent thr...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this match up, it's a fairly Roach heavy match up, while both players expand and add on Hydralisks. Zerglings are great in numbers early on, but against a Zerg with enough Roaches, Zerglings end up mulched. Banelings are even rarer (though not horrible as a rush), since the... Tue, 30 Mar 2010 05:57:08 +0200 http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/extractor-trick-getting-an-extra-drone.php http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/extractor-trick-getting-an-extra-drone.php This is a relatively simple Zerg technique, seemingly obvious yet very few use it, and easy to implement in the game. You know how you spend Drones on buildings rather than drones building them? You can use that to your advantage in very early game as a Zerg player. You start out with 6 drones and 10 supply (to be replenished with Overlords). On your 9th or 10th Drone, you get either your Spawni...

I decided to not play Zerg, since I've sorta got a basic understanding of them. I was trying Protoss and encountered another Protoss that did something very interesting. He would frequently transform his Warpgate into a Gateway, make a zealot, then go back into a Wa... Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:42:21 +0200 http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/choosing-random.php http://www.starcraft-replay.com/guides/choosing-random.php Hi I'm new to the site and this is my first guide. This is about choosing random. Random gives you an advantage over your opponent. He doesn't know what you are, but you know what he is. The biggest thing is, your opponent will not be comfortable in the early game. If he has a special build that doesn't use an early scout, he would have to change it so that he could scout your race early on. Bui...

Reavers and High Templar both have the ability to kill workers before the other player can even respond, thus quickly shifting the balance and garnering props from most Starcraft players. However in Starcraft II we are missing a few units. The Shuttle and Reaver have been removed and in their place we g...

It is one of the best SC2 games I've witnessed so far (really, I want to vote for it as a Replay of the Week). TheLittleOne is a very creative and unorthodox random player, and Nazgul is a very solid Protoss player. This...

As promised, here is my write-up about Zerg ground upgrades vs Terran. If you haven't actually read the ZvP upgrades, I strongly suggest you to do so now. Just look through the Guides section. Just like last time, I am going to leave out the heavy number crunching, as it really isn't the important "take home...

Unfortunately, I do not have a beta key, but from watching the replays I have analysed some things better players do and some things rookies do that hurts them. As I compile more information, I will improve organization and add in more tips and media. This is the 1.0 version. Rush/Cheese ...
