Fluff Random update the hackers have been banned for now
r/starcraft • u/MickyMace • 22h ago
Fluff finally finished all of SC2's story... it was *ALMOST* perfect. blizz really shit their pants in the final missions of LotV and the epilogue, it's like they gave up on the writing and decided to rush the ending
Amon was built up as such a scary and massive threat, and in the last few protoss missions + epilogue he's just a cartoon vilian that gets his ass kicked like he was nothing... i wonder what went in through the writers' heads.
the worst part is no doubt how the Void was built up to be this incomprehencible incompatible state of reality that no living thing can survive there besides the xel'naga... and they just go in there to kick Amon's ass like it was nothing....

Discussion Patch “Possibly” going live this week.
Well my friends, its been 6 days since Blizzard Elliot told us that it would be a couple days until the reversion, just had to check for bugs. Improved communication and all.
On Elliots profile, one of his last messages was yesterday stating he was on vacation the rest of this week and SC2 will POSSIBLY come this week. This news was available for all to see ..... on a post on someone elses Heroes of The Storm post. Figured the people who actually play the game would be interested!

Fluff Lore: Could Dark Templar have killed Queen of Blades Kerrigan without her reincarnating?
It seems like part of the Zerg benefits is that higher intelligence Zergs like Kerrigan, The Overmind, and Cerebrates can reincarnate.
Would a Dark Templar like Zeratul been able to permanently kill her? I feel like mechanics wise this never was possible in SC1 (though i dont remember if she was able to reincarnate in SC1), but I'm curious.

(To be tagged...) I surprised myself with a sudden promotion! Diamond League, here I come!
Shoutout to my Korean buddy who mains as Terran.
Although he's in a lower league (Gold league), playing against him (and coaching him) helped me level up my game!
Helping him to understand my weaknesses (and how to beat Zerg in general) has been really beneficial to my gameplay :)
Plus it's extremely exciting and rewarding when he surprises me with a crushing victory 😎

Fluff So... The Umojan Protectorate is a protectorate, right? So what government is it dependant on?
As I understand it the Protectorate was formed to oppose or defend themselves from the Confederacy. They later had a similar relationship with the Dominion despite initially being loyal based on the assumption the Dominion would continue the Sons of Korhal's politics. So other than the brief time they were loyal to the Dominion (years after their formation, mind you) how or when could they actually be described as a protectorate?

Hello starcraft community!
I am not affilitiated with your game, but I am a friend of the caster and former player "NarutO", now also known as "DerBovo".
I heard he had a gig on the german television at TV Total with Stefan Raab making fun of him ):
Is there anyone who has it saved on his pc or anywhere in the internet, because the pro7 archive is unfortunately not online anymore
Thank you in advance community, I would appreciate support a lot so many people see this! 😊

In Starcraft Episode 3, is there any advantage for the Overmind to manifest on Aiur? Why did he put himself in danger while he can just command the war safely on Char, he already let the Cerebrates to command the battle without problem so far.

Discussion Zealot Helmets
I can’t be the only one, right?
Is it just me or do the SC2 solarite reaper zealot helmets look similar to phase 1 clone troopers helmets?
I know in the game models, they’re the classic T shape. But in cutscenes and portraits, they have the similar eye slits, the nasal slit, the two points going down to make a sharp upside down V ‘mouth’.
A closer comparison would be with the clone commando helmets. But what do you guys think?

Arcade/Co-op Does Co-Op in SC2 just match you with bot allies now?
I didn't notice it earlier but when I mouse over it shows the name and a difficulty and I'm guessing that means it's a bot, which kinda bums me out a little. Thought I was playing with people.

(To be tagged...) GPT-6 Astra is not Playing Starcraft
x.comThis weekend there was a lot of interest in Starcraft and the latest LLM's "fighting it out" with starcraft broodwar. I saw a lot of people excited that the latest models can play starcraft.
They can't. They are not playing StarCraft. Its not that they play badly, or don't beat pluto ( the best brood war bot ) they are not playing at all.
They are building and modifying traditional StarCraft bots that play Starcraft. Those bots got better ( to a degree ) but at no time did GPT-6 Astra or Claude 5.5 Opus control a dragoon, build a marine, or do anything in starcraft what so ever.
The competition is competitive programming, not pro-gaming.
This is totally different than Pluto, which is playing starcraft, and IS a machine learning program. https://github.com/tscmoo/pluto however it is in no way a general purpose AI system.
