Battlecruiser Defensive Matrix
May 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I’ve played Terran a lot, but admittedly I don’t do Battlecruisers too much. What is this Defensive Matrix green shield? http://sc2pod.com/gallery/screenshots/?id=698 I understand the Matrix Sunglasses package shields you from UV light and sun damage to your eyes, that is a given. I will have to look for a Defensive Matrix shield upgrade next time […]

StarCraft TV – The fifth episode of GosuTV
May 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
The fifth episode of GosuTV League and Tournament Updates The best part is the little strategies blurbs where they show things like rushing with a tank, and dropping Thors behand enemy lines with medivac’s. http://www.own3d.tv/video/26337/GosuTV_-_Episode_5 It’s about 35 minutes, but much more engrossing than another Sarah Silverman show if you’re a StarCraft player

Siege Tank Life increase in StarCraft 2 Patch 11
May 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Nethaera: Siege Tank- Life increased from 150 to 160. Siege Tanks are seeing good use in several match-ups but we still think they could be a little tougher so they can maybe get in one more shot during big fights. SC2Hacks: I agree with this, tanks seem to die too fast. What effect does upgrading […]

Hellion Range Increase with StarCraft 2 Patch 11
May 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Netahera: The range has been increased from 5 to 6. This is not an actual change to the area effect of the weapon. The weapon was always range 6, but it would only acquire targets at range 5 so it would get a little bit of splash that would hit enemies behind its initial target. […]
