Starcraft 2 Multiplayer Strategy With Collosus

Monday, October 11th, 2010

colossusI really like the colossus in Starcraft 2 because it reminds me of War of the Worlds.  All we’re missing is Tom Cruise running around screaming while you destroy your enemy’s base.

I played a game yesterday and it sort of changed my mind about the colossus.  I never paid too much attention to the unit until now.

I haven’t fully tested out the unit in a lot of games yet, but it does work really well against mineral lines and zerg.  If you grab a drop ship and swing in the back of your enemy’s base, you’ll get a fair amount of workers before they catch on.

I noticed yesterday that it is especially effective against zerg players.  These two guys tried to scare me and my teamates by threatening an infestor rush.  They really underestimated us though.

What they didn’t expect were 4-6 colossus climbing over the side of their base with range upgrades.  I wiped him and his friend right off the map before they could counter.

I have to give some credit to Shokz guide because I learned some really cool micro strategies with this unit there.

Shokz has a great way of terrorizing Terran players too.

Using Siege Tanks In Starcraft 2 Multiplayer Matches

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

siege tankMost players in Starcraft 2 multiplayer don’t use one of the most effective units for Terran simply because they don’t know what it is.  What unit are we talking about? – Siege Tanks!

Tanks have the longest range of any ground unit and can dominate a ground war if you use them right.  They’re especially effective against unarmored units like zerg and can turn a battle into a blood bath quickly.

What’s strange is that you don’t see a lot of Terran players using tanks.  You see a lot of players massing marines, maruaders, but very rarely do you see them throw in a nice support of tanks.  So here is what I recommend you do.  If you play Terran and have fallen into the rut of using marines and rauders continuously, then try throwing in a few tanks with your next battle.  A few tanks placed in a strategic position can give you the advantage over a mass stalker attack.

Would you like to learn more about the best way to use tanks in a real multiplayer game?  I’ve just read the new “How to use siege tanks” guide from Shokz and I got it by going here – Shokz siege tank guide.

They have a lot more strategies that I have read and used, but this siege tank guide is brand spanking new.
