Hey, noojster™ here!

Stalker: My favorite unit!

Hi there, my name is Nooj and welcome to the Philippine Starcraft 2 League. Until the full game is released we will first discuss a few beta tests against A.I to give you a sneak peek at the changes, new techs, new units and the definitely better maps. Its hard to find Filipino players right now when playing the beta, but we (Me and my colleague and long-time best friend Gaius "Sensei") will do our best.

As one of the contributors here I’ll be commenting and discussing most of Protoss gameplay. Protoss unit production style may not be as fast as Zerg or Terran but they really excel in both offensive and defensive capabilities. Building production can still be done by one probe and the Protoss is fast when it comes to mining resources, that’s why the costs are high too. The usual “pylon power” is still important in creating your base especially now that Warp Gates (an upgrade to the gateway) can easily deploy units from any location with power.

I have been playing SC2 for some weeks now and I may say this game is more addictive than the first. Practice, practice, practice. That’s all there is to it.

 

For the Terran and the Zerg, a lot of things have been improved too. The Terran are now on even grounds with the other two races (because seriously, I think that Terran is quite weak in SC1). As for the Zerg, unit production is still very speedy. Expert Zerg players can easily have some serious map control mid-game. Upgrading those units optimally is the blade of Zerg’s  fast unit production.

Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty will be released this July 27, 2010 and by that time we we'll be on full in-depth discussion of the game.
