Oddly enough, I played one on SC and I ACTUALLY beat him. I have no clue how, well, back to spamming mah Marines and Goliaths.

This becomes more hilarious since I've seen a Korean competition where the winnner used eight SCVs and three Marines (This was SC1).

Less about enjoyment and more about Bug finding, and alowing the higher rankers to figure out how certain aspects are more op then others and how to balence them. retail will bring custom games and a better matchmaking system, and they glorious thing called campain.

I was once paired with someone on my skill level, and then in a double battle my team mate was a platinum leagur who roflstomped both of our opponents while i struggled to fend off an attack. I can see where alot of the complaints come from but its due to the fact it's a beta.

I got the beta key a week or two ago through sign up. All of my matches were between the same 20 people who rushed me before i could make a defense or quit when i said "Im new, ill do my best just tell me what you need me to attempt." There was no chance to learn and i only won 2 matches because

If I were to battle that Korean-level zealot, I'd admit my poor skills then use "modify the phase variance" to instantly Dark Templar-rush the enemy...unless if the opponent is Zerg.

I think it's just a different style of thinking/humor, because I got all these practically immediately. Since Nerfnow! originally started as a no-dialogue comic, part of the charm is not needing paragraphs of exposition to set up a joke.

@Lazy DM V: Ahh, Alpha Centauri. Why is the combat system of all the Civilization games after AC so terrible? I could barely even play Civ 4 because the system was so awful. And no customizable units? Come on.

Helarias said "you really need to work on how your set up your jokes."
I agree. Although, in this case it's a combination of ineffective writing and the fact that Starcraft is difficult to describe in comic format.

The game will look awesome (though apparently unnecessarily be in 3d), have awesome movies and a good/decent storyline - it's Blizzard. Gameplaywise, though, it's Blizzard. Have fun guys! :)

People in copper league have been fighting people in platinum league, and all sorts of other inter-league matches. They'll change this for the retail, obviously.

@Random Lurker: I think it's pretty clear the zealot symbolizes the beatdown the human player received from the archon, and it's the archon typing the gg.

Are we sure that's what this comic means? When I saw it, it seemed to me that the Korean won with one click, and the guy on the other side just FELT like he got faceraped. So he types: GG NO RE KTHXBYE 'cause he knows he's not going to have any fun like this. What with the faceraping and all.

You really can't make a comic about this game that makes me interested in trying it, can you? Eh... I think I'll just stick with my turn-based games. Thinking time is fun time.

Sorry, but you really need to start adding a bit more context to these things to make them semi-understandable. I couldn't even tell what happened with the "trap" person; for a second I thought their trap worked, and then they were annoyed that people were complaining on the forums.
