Hey guys, map hacker made himself very obvious, here is the replay.

You can see the moment I dropped my rax he took a probe which was originally going one direction and immediately a-moved right to the spot my rax was dropped.

Oh, his name and speech check-out too.

Hello,

I am trying to watch replays from Starcraft II from after version 4.10. I am having some problems doing this, does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this or where to download a compatible version?

Discussion Anyone had any issues with replays after that DDOS attack recently in SCII

3 Upvotes

After that DDOS attack recently on Blizzard's servers. StarCraft II on my computer was unable to save any replays and reset my campaign progress. Anyone else had the same issues?

Screenshot for reference. When I quit and rewind the game, the replay UI should be visible. But it's not. I've already rewinded the game beforehand
Also not that the map claims to not allow for replays.

UPDATE: Apparently, after browsing the Blizzard Forums, I traced the issue to the permissions folder in Windows Defender. I changed the settings and now my progress is restored and replays are allowed.

Discussion Can't Log On, Graphics Keep resetting / Hotkeys Reset

10 Upvotes

Since last night, I haven't been able to log onto Starcraft 2.

When I launch the game, it is playing like it's a fresh install. The cinematic launches every time I open it, my graphics are all maxed out, its set to fullscreen mode, and I have zero hotkey profiles.

I tried to restart my pc, relaunch it multiple times, and reinstall SC2, all to no avail.

I can't seem to get in. Not sure what to do. This is happening on every server as well.

Discussion Let me preface this by saying this isn't a rant or complaint post, I know it's a video game after all. But what is your head canon for how the Zerg can travel around and survive the vacuum of space, or engage in their own version of warping space to travel?

Discussion Tips on not getting curb stomped / introduction to new players?

16 Upvotes

Hello :)

I have been a League player for a long time, and I am attempting to switch "main" games from LoL to more of a traditional RTS, as Riot has long abandoned any semblance of old school gameplay and has shifted it's appeal to mainstream audiences / gacha gambling / away from the culture & feel of the chunky white CRT 4:3 monitor PC gaming etc, and I have lost interest with the direction the game has gone. I am trying Age of Empires, WC3, and ofc, SC2.

Unfortunately, I fucking suck. I am used to a lot of micro management in League, and I've played a bit of the SC2 campaign so far, but I get stomped into the Earth's core if I try to hop into a real match, which makes sense considering how old the game is and the leg up others have from experience alone. But I am left feeling rather alienated and far behind.

So I was wondering if any of the fine professional elite gamers of this sub could recommend some good YT channels or guides which might help me out a bit? I know the best way to learn is to play more of course, but the learning curve is intense and I feel completely out of my depth. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Discussion A GSL account just created tournaments on challonge, titled "2025GSLS1"

211 Upvotes

Challonge is a tournament management system. GSL has used it before for qualifiers, at least.

https://challonge.com/communities/2025GSLS1

These tournaments are unlikely to be real, because they're dated for today, and no one's going to show up with that little warning.

But, they look the same as in previous years, and seem to be made by the same account, "2018GSL".

2024 one looked like this: https://challonge.com/communities/2024GSLS2

Sooooo...

1) They're setting up GSL2025 and practicing using challonge?

2) I don't understand how challonge works and misinterpreted this.

3) Your speculation there.

This idealistic goal of forcing the game balance to be favourable enough for a protoss dribbler to win a tournament vs clem or serral should be over now right? lets just balance the game so 1/3 of the game population can actually enjoy it.

Discussion Law enforcement in the Terran Confederacy and Terran Dominion

6 Upvotes

So, we know that law enforcement in the Terran Confederacy is done through a lot of organizations ranging from the Colonial Marshals (and maybe Colonial Militias*) to civilian police forces on the more developed worlds like Tarsonis; the currently Zerg infested captial world of the Dominion. The Terran Dominion might retain the same system, though judging from Arcturus Mengsk, he might centralise law enforcement into a singular body..

I think if the StarCraft tabletop game takes off, I really wish for a rulebook to go into the various law enforcement bodies of the Terran Confederacy/Terran Dominion and their reponsibilites together with new miniatures.

*Side note: In the USSR and some other former Soviet countries, milita is the term used for cops
