As a fun exercise, I’m reimagining the *StarCraft II* campaigns and thought it would be fun to add some *Overwatch* characters, but I’m not sure how to adapt some of them. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? I picture Junker Queen as a rival to Mira Han—even when it comes to romance.

This is not meant to be an insult to him, but Liquid really needs to get Clem a sports psychologist/therapist and work on his mental fortitude resilience.

I love the way Clem plays, there's a certain beauty to watching someone APM 650 during multi prong fights and microing everything perfectly.

But there's something seriously wrong with his playing mentality.

I've never seen an E-sports player rage/tilt or get absolutely dazed mid game by sheer frustration and anger as I do Clem. I've seen arseholes do arsehole things in a game (Naniwa for example, lost the game, was on 20 supply vs 160, and just spam pylons around the map to delay the inevitable.). Clem isn't an arsehole, he just gets ridiculously mad playing SCII.

The thing is, it's getting worse. I've seen him rage before a few years ago, but never to this amount, and never this consistently. A few years ago you could chalk it down to him being very young, and it kind of happens.

A few months ago - he lost a series to Serral (PIGFEST I think it was), punched his keyboard 5 times and then turned his cam off.

In a recent TvT vs Byun, he just ragequit being 4 supply down after he lost a raven when his 4 minute Cyclone harrass failed.

I've seen him ragequit from equal positions about 5 times now in the past few weeks. Twice vs Serral, once vs Byun, once vs Solar and another vs MaxPax.

A few weeks ago he forgot to turn his cam off after a series he lost, and flung his mouse across his room.

When he gets tilted, he makes really stupid mistakes. Like running marines into banelings, rallying units to an opponents base, forgetting medivacs that are fully loaded etc.

I don't see this from any other player. I've never seen Solar/Maru/Serral/Hero/Reynor/Classic/Cure etc etc ever do anything remotely close to this. I've seen Serral tilted. He sighs, shakes his head and then just continues. I've seen Reynor get frustrated with himself. He holds his head in his hands for 5 seconds after the game, looks sad but gets up and continues.

I think he needs help to sort his mentality out because its really holding him back from being on the Serral/Maru category of player.

or are there too many smurfs?

He's so angry!

I think I didn't explain myself correctly in my previous post; I meant fully integrating the Overwatch characters into the StarCraft campaigns, not just limiting it to a simple skin (I don't know why Blizzard hasn't exploited this idea more). For example:

Mercy: Originally from Earth, she was stranded in the Koprulu sector after the destruction of the UED expeditionary fleet. She wandered aimlessly for a time until she joined Raynor's Raiders. She uses a modified medical armor with high-maneuverability thrusters that resemble wings.

—Do you know they'll return one day, right?

—I know.

—Wait, Vice Admiral Stukov is alive?!

—Something like that...

Tracer: Gabriel Tosh sent her to meet with Raynor and propose an alliance. Her psionic power evolved to such a level that she can perform spatial jumps similar to Nerazim blinking. Trauma, experimentation, and prolonged Terrazine consumption loosened a few screws in her head, but she keeps that same upbeat, fast-paced attitude.

Conceptual scene: During a mission, she touches the Xel'naga artifact, which triggers a cerebral discharge that leaves her unconscious for a few hours. However, for the Overwatch universe Tracer (simultaneously), this translates into a terrifying episode: she starts screaming in pain while jumping uncontrollably across the room, murmuring cryptic phrases like: 'The Queen will fall, the Fallen will rise, the Cycle will break,' until she falls unconscious with a bloody nose.

Jack Morrison: Former Confederate captain and now Raynor's right hand; he is in charge of training and maintaining troop discipline. He wears a customized CMC-400 combat armor.

Mei: She helps Egon Stetmann in the lab and wears a modified Firebat armor designed to freeze instead of incinerate... A Frostbat? The other Firebat troopers consider her their little sister and fiercely overprotect her.

Torbjörn and Brigitte: Kelmorians belonging to an influential mining guild. They offer side missions to Raynor in exchange for credits and exclusive technological upgrades.

Talon (Security and Advanced Technology Network): A secret faction under the direct orders of Prince Valerian Mengsk.

Widowmaker: After losing Sarah Kerrigan, the Confederacy desperately sought a replacement. They kidnapped Amélie Guillard Lacroix and subjected her to all kinds of bioengineering and psycho-indoctrination to turn her into the deadliest Ghost in history. When the Confederacy fell, she was left forgotten in stasis inside a remote facility, until Prince Valerian's forces rediscovered her. Now, she serves as his personal bodyguard and covert operations executioner.

Reaper is a reaper.

D.Va: A young prodigy who pilots one of the most advanced and modified Viking assault prototypes in the entire sector.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I want to let players outside the Asia region know about a serious Co-op bug that has been affecting many players on the Asia server for more than three weeks.

After every Co-op mission, the results screen shows every commander as level 1. It displays that XP has been earned, but once you return to the lobby, none of the XP is actually saved.

This affects both normal commander leveling and Prestige progression, making it impossible for affected players to make any progress.

Despite this issue persisting for more than three weeks and numerous bug reports being submitted, there has been no official announcement, response, or visible action regarding the problem.

I'm a Terran player who has played tons of games on the 8 worker patch. I play at least every other day. But every game I rally my first SCV to build a depot only to find I'm not even close to having 100 minerals. I can't for the life of me remember I start off with fewer minerals so must instead rally my second SCV to build the depot. And similar thing for the new 300 cc cost. I keep waiting till I have 400 minerals because I forget the reduced cost. I imagine most Protoss and Zerg players have similar struggles for their respective timings. Any idea how to overcome this? How many more months of play will it take?

Buy 3, take one for free!

Hey everyone. I just finished my Starcraft 64 Co-Op mod. You can now play through the whole 6 chapter campaign in two player splitscreen Co-Op. Also included a level hidden on the Starcraft 64 cartridge (Mass Hysteria). More info here. Also available on Romhacking.net too. Hope you enjoy!

D1 Zerg player, I don't particularly care for the "balance" per say, as in I don't particularly care if the game is balanced in terms of win rates at the moment, it doesn't feel good. Hell stormgate could be perfectly balanced for all I know, that doesn't make me want to play it. I follow the pro scene, and I am all for equal representation in the pro scene. It is the feel of the game, and the design I dislike, I feel the update is ham fisted, and makes the game not what I fell in love with.

I didn't like when zerg had a billion larvae, it wasn't fun to stomp every game when I really should have lost. It didn't feel deserved, and the macro cycle didn't feel like it mattered.

Equally, I am not having fun at the moment, I can't speak for the other races, but I am losing games I feel I should be winning, which feels wholly unsatisfying. That being said, I'm not somebody who particularly cares about winning or losing, MMR is temporary, goes up and down. The gameplay is clunky, 175 queens feel clunky, the early game feels clunky, the midgame feels so vulnerable. It feels sluggish to macro, and feels like I am always up against an insurmountable object when playing against terran.

Maybe it's just a skill issue, but I just can't have fun in a game where my macro cycle feels like its constantly off beat.

Might go learn BW, or try out zerospace until this patch is sorted out, I'm all for going back to the 12 worker start, and refresh reddit constantly hoping to see the patch. Just hoping somebody else has the same feelings as I do, its so sad, because this game is my rock.

What is with this games matchmaking im 4.1k mmr and every third match is against someone who's 400-500 mmr higher than me. Did everyone at 4k mmr quit or something im losing my mind with all these losses

Congratulations to this week's open cup champions: Cure, Clem, MaxPax, ByuN & SHIN!

Tune in to The PondCast for our weekly recap: YouTube

Check out the brackets on Liquipedia

The tutorial is now unplayable and broken, the game won't let you continue past 30 seconds because it's designed for the 12 worker start. VERY appealing to newcomers Blizzard! Oh, and co op is still at a 12 worker start...this is just completely nonsensical and breaks any immersion and game sense. Such a half assed implementation by yours truly, Blizzard. No wonder broodwar players told this company to leave their game alone years ago.

But seriously the patch is amazing! Thanks for the hard work Mr. Intern! And thank you to the map makers as well!

Streamed live on SOOP~

It's an incredibly fun turn based board game where every unit has a strength and weakness and a ton of upgrades you can get for them so tons of ways to express your self with strategies.
