StarCraft 2 Beta Access and Awesome Loot Up for Grabs!

Post by trog @ 03:03pm 01/04/10 | 31 Comments

Courtesy of Blizzard, we are pretty stoked to be launching this truly awesome competition - we've got access to the StarCraft 2 beta to give away. Oh, and we've also got one extra special access that comes with a stack of sweet StarCraft gear - a StarCraft II Raynor n00bz figure, a Marine T-shirt featuring art by Scrojo, a �Terran Ghost� poster featuring art by Wei Wang, a Zergling Coloisonn� pin and - if that's not enough - a 'I <3 StarCraft' magnetic bumper sticker. You can check out some photos of all this awesome gear if the mere mention of them doesn't make you start drooling.

If you're keen to try to get your hands on this phat loot, or want to have a crack at getting into the highly exclusive beta, then I strongly recommend you enter our competition!

does it have to be a starcraft related tactic or just a tactic from any game?

The "Sim City". When you've clearly lost a match but are wasting the time of the opponent. You build as many supply depot as possible.

Well, Sim City is actually when you build lots of buildings such as defense towers and whatnot.

Turtling is when you build a very strong defense and push forward slowly with defense tower type buildings.

Unfortunately these are common terms and not 'coined' by us lol.

to be perfectly accurate, sim city is when you use your tech buildings in a defensive way to protect your actual towers and to also create a choke point

mine was something like this,

Rick Rolled: Defeating your opponent with the art of deception. Luring your opponent to believe a false outcome resulting in their embarrassing defeat.

Nah thats when you start reminding the oponents that they have to press custom map button to get to tower defense, not quickplay :)

Or you call them walling faggots. lol

Tower / bunker rushing people can work well in that game sometimes.. I've watched a few korean games where bunker rushing has been hilariously successful in ruining their income and cycling in and out a SCV constantly repairing it almost seems like cheating..

PS: being angry on battlenet is a hobby for me...

I entered the following:

The Tom Selleck Offensive: To attack your opponent with an overwhelming number of mustache-resembling Brood Lords.

Finally came up with something;

The Conroy - Not admitting defeat even though 99% of spectators say you have lost.

Surprisingly this has some truth behind it.. one of my friends used to constantly say he didn't lose a round of an RTS or FPS even though he was annihilated, there was always an excuse of "my PC locked up" or "you can't zerg rush that's cheating"

i was going to put "The Mineral Rush" where instead of attacking as early as possible with your SCVs/probes/drones, you actually harvest the mineral and build more harvesters.

Try it, it's gosu.

I thought that was walling... maybe thats just what i called it in wc3. When there were lots of towers denying entry into a base, you called them a walling fag and massed long range air (chimeras frostwyrms and batriders gargs to deny thir t3 epic air) or catapults while expanding. I couldn't remember the terms until now for some reason.. its been a while since wc3..

I think the more commonly used term is 'turtling' like Toll said, anyone who goes hard on base defences is turtling.

Not very nice wasting beta keys like that though, she needs to learn some respect for what she'll never have
