Category: Starcraft 2 Strategy
Recently a friend of mine and I were having the age old debate of “my race is so much harder than yours”. It was the typical speil of Zerg units sucking and Protoss not being able to deal with Fungal Growth, it went back and forth until he challenged me to get to Gold League from Bronze as Protoss (which I had never played properly before) in 100 wins or less. The rules were simple: I had to throw all… Read More »
ZvZ: A GSL History of the Blind 15 Hatch From michaelhasanalias on TL ZvZ: A GSL History of the Blind 15 Hatch Introduction I labeled this as [D] because I felt it should go in the strategy forum, although I guess this may read more as a blog.
