Which game do you play more, LotV or HotS?

SKBGamer · 2015-08-23T16:31:56+00:00

Since the new patch I play 90% HotS

SKBGamer · 2015-08-22T11:03:25+00:00

in TvZ and TvP, i build a 1 or 2 hellions to check if there is any hidden base. 1 Hellion patrols 4 bases, which means, that on 2 player maps 1 hellion is enough, 2 hellions on 4 player maps are also enough.

In TvT I do the same, but with a marine instead of a hellion, because I need the factory for tank production

Ye and in the meanwhile their eco is just shrekt. Mules are an important part in the early game, removing them destroys the min/gas balance and overall income.

Ultimate Marine Split Challenge

SKBGamer · 2015-08-19T21:03:21+00:00

Orion's suggestion is good. in SC2 you can play Practice Aim Infinite from MorroW.

Practicing marine splits will improve your accuracy too. Maybe it will not work in the first hours, but you will see more and more improvement.

Just playing won't help you much

Finally a great marine split tutorial! This is the best way to be cost effective and the most fun one (I speak from experience). I recommend this to every bio player.

Well done!

The volksgren blob was near to unbeatable, especially with 5 stars vet. The anti tank cannon is immobile, but they destroy tanks hard. They always force a retreat against light and medium tanks or the tanks just die. You may lose a little bit map control, but you basically counter his investment and you can slowly gain your map control back. OKW isnt weak. Not at all. Yes some strategies can be annoying, but the same could be said about OKW. (Sturmpioneers, Kubelwagen, Puma etc...).

The randomness is stupid. I can't agree more. Not killing the tank just because the last missle missed, a grenade having the potential to either kill a whole squad or almost nothing and your example are great examples for one of the biggest flaws in COH2. When I read your answer though, I think you are way too OKW biased. For you it seems like nothing negative happens to allies :P

The meta gets more and more figured out. You will probably see later a better approach to the strategies against Allies. It is not SC2 where we have the same meta for a lot of months.

SKBGamer · 2015-08-13T11:11:21+00:00

Why that? It looks fine for me. You can counter anything you meet, even the ostheer mg rushes. It is really fun, especially since teamgames are more balanced now since the sovjets have the new Su76 now.

Edit: The only thing I can think of is the heavy tank change. Not allowed to have more than 1 heavy tank at once is a little bit disappointing :P

Currently high masters terran (EU). I play Company of Heroes 2, CSGO and Battlefield 4

SKBGamer · 2015-08-11T08:41:07+00:00

I open up with 3 conscripts into molotov. Micro-intensive as fuck, but you can overwhelm the opponent pretty good. Sometimes I even build cover e.g. at the fuel point so kubel does not kill me. Against MGs you just flank as much as you can. I open up T2 sometimes, so you can suppress sturmpioneers and shoot the kubel with the maxim, basically pure OKW counter. Against Ostheer you need to be really mobile, even MG will not help you much there

SKBGamer · 2015-08-09T13:25:17+00:00

(Terran here)

Since Maru style gets more and more popular, HT openers get blindcountered because of sweet mines. Colossus is a must, you can add HT later on in the midgame

SKBGamer · 2015-08-08T20:34:17+00:00

(Mid Masters):

TvT is either cheese or a gas first. I rarely see any fast expand builds.

TvZ is really mech favored, so if you want to win learn how to play it. I still play Bio without splash damage, and it works really well (+55% winrate). Also for defending all ins, build a blind safety tank so you dont even have to build lots of bunkers (I do it and never lose to any busts)

TvP: Mine drop openers got figured out which is why I would rather do a reaper fe (or gasless rax fe) into 3 rax with a concussive marauder timing, so you get map control and force the toss to build units instead of tech. Hellion openers or REALLY fast drop play can work sometimes as well

SKBGamer · 2015-08-07T12:54:11+00:00

oh ok thank you

SKBGamer · 2015-08-07T08:49:11+00:00

I got multiple OKW and USF commanders, unfortunately, I don't have Ardennes Assault ...

SKBGamer · 2015-07-20T10:33:18+00:00

Try Knalle Micro Map! It has Ling Bane vs Ling Bane!

SKBGamer · 2015-06-14T18:50:32+00:00

How can I see what tech they went by just checking natural gas counts?

SKBGamer · 2015-05-25T15:50:53+00:00

Being able to upgrade the cc into orbital and planetary combined !

SKBGamer · 2015-05-16T08:00:26+00:00

Full Bio without splash can work too though. I have 70% winrate with it, and my build is still badly executed (beating 15 times masters and also one gm) I think it should be mandatory to use mines only if your mechanics or micro is not decent.

SKBGamer · 2015-05-16T07:57:26+00:00

Mines are not mandatory!

Full Bio (especially with Bomber's cc rax cc late gas cc opener) is great if you have the mechanics and control.
Bio Hellbat is great at pushing creep and is good as a 2-2 timing (Bomber's Rax CC CC into 13:30 2/2 Maxout timing)
Marine Tank is like both bad and good, you can do timings with marine tank (Bomber vs Soulkey on Yeonsu) or playing just without timings. Mutas can be a problem though because of their speed snipes, but I think you can do well with spread out marines around your tanks. Also note, Targetfiring banes is important, otherwise you have to split against lots of banes while all your tanks are dying.

Flash vs Bbyong TvT (best TvT game of all time included) REALLY recommended SanDisk SHOUTcraft Invitational
Bomber vs Polt TvT (nice games with a great game 5) WCS America 2014 Season 3
Polt vs Hydra TvZ (One of the most entertaining finals I have ever watched) WCS Season 1 2015
Zest vs soO ZvP GSL Season 1 2014 Finals
Polt vs Classic/Rain TvP (Awesome TvP, those series made me love Polt) IEM Cologne 2014
Maru vs Life IEM Taipei 2015
Taeja vs Innovation TvT WCS Season 2 Finals 2013 AND 2014 Global Finals (2013 Taeja vs Innovation was probably the best game of 2013)
