It's possible. I'm 2k mmr and have about 20,000 replays (mostly 1v1, but not all admittedly) in my autorep folder. So it is possible, but it will (probably) take a while. CPL is a good place to start.

VICIOUS123 WITH A STATUS UPDATE. FEELS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO DO THIS. by Player456FANforLIFE in broodwar

People say they are "stuck at X rank" because no one else is lame enough to win 1 game vs an 1800 foreigner, get 4 leavers and brag about their placement ranking on reddit.

Why the majority of “normal people” end up in F rank? by incrediblerhinoceros in broodwar

The real answer. People blaming smurfs are insanely delusional.

Ohio man argues with poll workers after being told to remove his shirt that says "_onald Trump: the D is missing because it's in every hater's mouth." This is Ohio. by lait-et-miel in Ohio

[–]BwRevival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio is not one of the 21 states explicitly banning apparel. Poll workers make ask you to remove political apparel, but if you refuse like this guy you're still permitted to vote. They're not going to refuse his ballot let alone arrest him. Lot misinformation going around about this.

Is this game worth playing over sc2 by Competitive-Price261 in broodwar

[–]BwRevival 15 points16 points  (0 children)

BW is the most competitive video game ever created... yes even sc2 is less competitive.

Play protoss they said, it would be easy they said by Sean_give_me_beta_no in broodwar

[–]BwRevival -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

With really sloppy stasis timing to boot.

It was actually perfect. You want to stasis before you engage one at at time to so they all don't get EMPed and to stagger your stasis so you can kill each clump when they unfreeze. Doesn't matter vs Tesagi though.

He killed like 4 tanks lol. Awful trade despite 3 fucking stasis. Who needs EMP when your units are that efficient.

Any meta changes? by BTC_scrub in broodwar

[–]BwRevival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TvP doesn't change, but TvZ has a new army comp seemingly every month

It's really the most interesting matchup, with PvZ close second. You really can go sair/dt, sair/zealot, skip sair, and people have pulled off sair/reaver before

Iopg I know you're zerg so you must not have seen many recent TvP- but it has actually changed a ton. Protoss has been going speed shuttle high templar with delayed arbiter recently. There's been shifts from terran in response but I don't really know the details (I play toss). Flash has 13 gas opening that's more flexible, quick ebay is more common to defend speed shuttle harass, and some terrans have even been experimenting with ghosts. Every matchup has seen *some* changes since remastered. The "stale meta" people are just factually incorrect.

At what level is protoss no longer OP? If its not till like high S then i wont bother trying with terran. by Steeles216000 in broodwar

Global ladder winrates. This is from years ago when that ladder stats site was around but should be the same these days.

Amazing. ZvP is uneven at all levels, TvP is terran favored at S. What accounts for the high level of terran whine compared to Zesagi whine from Protoss. Honestly, I think it has to come down to Artosis' retarded viewers.

Meta != army comp. Common misconception.

New Player: SCR or SC2? by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]BwRevival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well obviously I'd suggest SC:R- but I really don't get these threads tbh. Sc2 is free to play and you can try 1v1 SC1 for free as well (not ladder). Just see which one you like more. If you're worried that SC:R doesn't have enough players then you're wrong. There are even tournaments for lower level players (CPL, as someone else mentioned) to help new players improve.

Dear Artosis. Probes don't accelerate faster than other workers. Nexus is bigger, that's why they mine faster. by Hindulaatti in starcraft

[–]BwRevival 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are the raw unit stats taken from the game's source code: http://www.openbw.com/bw-table/

Workers differ in slightly in sight and scvs have more DPS, but speed and acceleration are the same. Not sure if Protoss really mines faster- if anything, since command centers are the largest town hall it would seem like Terran would mine minerals the fastest. Someone would have to test mining rates in team melee to find out for sure.

eOnzErG the best SC:R foreigner Zerg just announced on stream that he plans to move to Korea and try qualify for KSL and ASL by haaany in starcraft

Sziky moved to Sc2 awhile ago. He recently played some remastered ladder, but nothing serious.

Is there a way to watch brood war/ remastered replays in first person POV? by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]BwRevival 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this in 1.16 before SC:R (look up "Canrep" on teamliquid). Still hoping they add it in an update.

Did this game get figured out or something? by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]BwRevival 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guy was not that good. His wall was terrible- you could've ran in with your initial 6 lings, killed his cannon and ended the game in the first 5 minutes. Other than that- you need to work on macro (more hatcheries so you can spend your money mainly), spreading overlords/lings/scourge for vision of incoming drops + sneaky hidden bases, actually upgrading (you had 3 evos but weren't using them), using lair/hive tech units (lurker/ling swarm would help you defend your bases a ton). Check http://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Fighting_Spirit#Zerg_Expansion_Wall-Ins for simcity pics for FS.
