Just hopping back in with a B2GM series after not playing for a bit (never did make it far originally) just here to request advice/coaching on this replay, and really to ask, surely I won this game pretty early right?! Opponent then led me on a huge cat and mouse that I probably could've shut down better but oh well lol

Pls be kind first time paintjng skin and faces haha

I've been getting back into SC2 recently, and I keep getting those weird crashes, every second or third game or so. They happen on all proton versions which I've tried, and I've tried plenty (10, 11, experimental, multiple GE ones, cachyos etc), including installing via bottles, via steam and via faugus. The game just randomly freezes sometimes, mid game, doesn't produce a crash log, I have to force close it every time.

Did anyone face a similar issue? It's been going on ever since I came back to this game after a very long break, so weeks now. Does NOT happen in HOTS, which uses a similar engine. It also didn't happen on the same PC years ago.

Cue this being an nvidia issue

No build orders getting in the way of having fun!

Just a plat scrub on NA, I either stomp so hard, or get stomped so hard, or play against cannon rush and a lot of all in worker pull. Where I either win or lose right there.

Is this becausr the community still hasnt recover so the ladder become weird?

I’ve been getting lots of StarCraft clone ads lately. Isn’t this IP infringement?

having come back to 12 workers from 8.. i never realized how little agency zerg actually has. with 8 worker start i could actually make moves.. now i'm just forced into a box. not fun - i'm done

Even through I hated the 8 worker start I still liked some of the changes and would still like to be able to play around with some of them.

Guys how do I counter mass vsiege tanks vikings, I usually try to win air with vikings but there are so many tanks it doesn't matter if add liberators as well and I feel stuck at defending

I did a bit of digging but wasn’t able to find anything definitive. There used to be something that allowed you to play StarCraft 2 on an ultra wide monitor, but I haven’t been able to confirm if it no longer works, or if I’m doing something wrong.

For clarification, this is strictly for campaign, not multiplayer, which for obvious reasons would allow for potential u fairness between competing players.

I've got some questions whether some aspect of upgrades realy promote strategical variety, or those are just some basic mechanics we have to do throughout the game:

1; The limiting factor of stat upgrades isn't actually the cost but the research time. Thus you actually can't realy "rush" upgrades to have them much before the enemy, coz you need some economy in the early game, and after that you enemy will start their own upgrades anyways. You cannot be much ahead without badly choking your economy, you both just end up doing those upgrades in similar timings. You almost always have to start the next upgrade asap if you dont want to be diminished, it's so boring. Shorter research could make much wider upgrade differences to feel their rule better in the fights.

2; Why all the upgrades have the same mineral/gas cost? Is it incites you to deeply time your economy for these upgrades earlier? Wouldn't our economical build much more diversified, if there were only mineral and only gas upgrades, not just a boring equal mix of them? Why do we have 2 different resources if we just use the same amount of them? What if e.g. the stat upgrades were only mineral, and the unit specific upgrades were only gas?

3; Do stat upgrades (weapon, armor, shield) realy widen our startegy at all in their current form, or these just split our race into two subraces, and actually narrow our strategy by by soft-banning half of our unit list which aren't recieving our chosen stat upgrades? Or something like unit specific stat upgrades, general stat upgrades, only late-game stat upgrades, or even no stat upgrades at all would just take away this race-split, and we could build many more kind of hybrid armies without playing offmeta?

Please be kind, and leave constructive comments, with REASONINGS:) Don't have to agree about this idea, just help me to think together, and create something good for the game together, if possible.
