    Not much to say here other than a date: July 27, the day StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty will hit retail shelves. So sayeth Blizzard (via a press release), and those guys don't typically commit to promises they can't make good on. So expect to get destroyed on Battle.net at the end of July by all the people who have been playing the beta for months before then!
     
    Oh, you're still here? Hmm. Why don't you take a look at the incredible things people are already doing with the game's map editor?
     
      

       
     
    So who else is still neck-deep in the beta? As a Protoss player I'm having a terrible time against Terrans lately, since immortals were nerfed a bit in the last patch and the marauder's concussive shell came back on the scene in a major way. Everybody loves to drop the ghost's EMP on 'toss these days, too, making immos and void rays all but worthless against a huge mass of marauders and marines. Little help?

    Troof!  And really pisses me off that it is the truth.  All it's going to take is a couple games of total spanking to motivate me to not play multiplayer at all.

    1 day before my b'day. I'll be away for a whole month though so it's bad timing. By the time I get back I probably won't be able to win a game. :(
     
    I bet it'll get the classic blizzard delay. I'm saying mid-late August.

    Even though I suck at the beta, I'll be picking this up.  Vs. matches against bots (from what I heard from someone, I'm not sure if that's true) and singleplayer will be awesome.

    The winning strats I've seen in protoss games recently usually involve 8 or more warp gates and a warp prisim going around behind the enemy base and destroying econ before anything can be done about it. The best part is that you can probably tech to warping sooner than they can more than a ghost or two out, and I haven't seen too much ghost play.

    I can't wait! The only thing I could see to help you is maybe the sentries that can drop the shields? I've never tried and not at that level of micro yet. But you can split enemy forces for a short time.

BTW, im a fellow Protoss player too and i gotta get my build order fixed up so i can kick some ass since i have been getting trouble from Terran as well because of the marauder patch.

    I don't like Terran either because my douchey-proxy-gateway-zealot rush isn't feasible because those damn Terran can just lift off and stay in the air all day and make my zealots useless. Yes, that means I must actually get GAS to build sentries and stalkers. Shame.

    I love how Brad has become this authority on SC2. The beta comes out, he's "yeah I'm gonna mess around, see what's what" and now it's incomprehensible insider jargon. I love it, keep it up.

    The only thing I've found that works against ghosts+mauraders is charging zealots. They charge in fast enough that if the ghost EMP's it hits the ghosts and drains their energy as well.

    Same for me. I really want to play diablo, and hope I get picked for that beta.  Missing out on the SC2 beta didn't bother me as I don't care for playing RTS's multiplayer.  They seem to always come down to clicks and hotkey speed instead of tactics or strategy.  However,  I'll probably pick up Starcraft 2 sometime to play through the campaign as I really enjoyed the Warcraft 1 & 2 and Starcraft campaigns.
