Blizzard games will not be forgotten

yup. Blizzard Games are most powerfull than others. Now WoW is an "Star". Some time ago that star was an Starcraft....Starcraft & other "old" gamez from Blizzard™ 'll never be forgotten . Now i dont play Starcraft...but some time to time .

Ahhh.. Starcraft
I played that game for years (literally)
I quit a year or two ago though, it got sorta boring to me I guess. I grew up and I found new games to play, I needed some change and stuff. Starcraft is still a great game, though!
Blizzard rocks.
I play WoW now, it's possibly the funnest game I've played

Well i had played Starcraft and it is very good. But now i'm playing Counterstrike.

i just started playing sc:bw again, damn i love that game ^^

i'm just playing for fun, so most of the time i play spawn maps ...

what do you think is the best tactic (with zerg) on a "fastest" map in a 3on3 game?

StarCraft is immortal

3 vs. 3 games are all about rush. The winning team will be able to do a successful 3 on 1 attack early in the game. After this deadly attack, victory is already near.

I am a star craft fan too I play with protos all nights at battle.net, zergs are cool too but I'm better with protos anyway don't like to play with terran cause they are too slow :p

Terran isn't slow. All the pros play Terran. It is slow for you because you don't know how to play Terran. If you are playing Protoss, any decent Terran player could own you.

The only way Protoss can win is if you are really far from the enemy on the map or you can pull off a good attack with the one zealot rush and gain victory with mass zealots. A Terran player would use the one marine repairing bunkered method to defeat this rush and have the advantage in the game to tech tanks. Dragoons will lose to tanks.

To defeat a good Terran player, Zerg will most likely be the choice of race. The Zerg has the quickest utilized method of rushing. The 6 zergling rush or the double hatchery 12 zergling rush can own Terran if used early enough in the game.

The pro Terran player would be able to trap you inside your base and eventually move in slowly. This is one of the strategies that will win most of the time.

well tanks cant get down with zealots it' easy anway I think it's true cause I don't play too mucho terran but I am good with protos it's all I can say but the best players are the ones that use any race that makes you no problem so the race is not the way to win :p but now I will try to play with all races

By the time Terran has tanks, they will also have marines, firebats, and medics if you play BW. Zealots don't stand a chance.

Yes, knowing how to play with any race is good knowledge. That's why the pros play Terran. This is because Terran is able to exploit the weaknesses of the other races. To know those weaknesses, you'd need to know how to play any race. This includes knowing what strategies each race are able to perform, and also knowing how to counter the strategy.

dude!!!! pros must play with all races and in maps with limited sources even if you play in battle.net like 60 % play with protos but for me and the game story the most powerfull are the zergs but I've known lots of good players with terran

The race cycle goes Terran > Protoss > Zerg > Terran. I can see you do not understand the physics in this game. Starcraft is a strategy game like chess, but the race will matter in different stages of time in the game.

Yes, pros are able to play all races. Like I said earlier, pros pick Terran because they know Terran is the dominate race in the game. You will not understand this until you have mastered all the advanced strategies of Zerg and Protoss.

Expert players usually pick random as a race, but they would play best with Terran. Experienced players know how Terran has the most advanced counter strategies in the game. There is no point of trying to tell me otherwise. I was a pro player before I quit playing.

ok
