Pretty much what that middle guy did. Place some defense as close to your mineral line as possible, as soon as possible. (Basically, forget training more probes/drones/scvs, just use the first 6. Then get defense in such a way that it can't be surrounded by 'lings. After that, and the initial attack, you should be good to start your econ in earnest and go rape them for being douchebags.

Edit: Online in a novice decena on slower if anyone happens to be on.

 

There's not that much that you can do; if they rush someone 3v1 or 4v1.
The only thing that comes to mind is to do the same thing and scout so that you'll know whom they'll be targeting first. Then you hopefully have a few more units to hold off the rush.

@Militis
Just going defense probably won't be enough for the first guy they hit.

 

so long as the 3 other survive then the speedling rusher are done.

 

Just make some early defense with good building placements.

 

I saw some guy's video about the abilities of the infestor. I used to love to mind control scvs/drones in SC:BW, and now I can do neural parasite on scvs/probes in SC2.

Only problem is you're stuck with a complete total of 200 "food", not 200 for each race. The parasite also has a limited range, so you can't move too far away from the infestor to build your buildings. I think someone could pwn some nubs with any combo of the races, but it takes amazing skill to control and concentrate on more than one build tree. You also have to find a stray probe/scv to control so your infestor doesn't die.

 

say it if you're online so I can get hook up with youa ll

 

Are you on the american servers named?

So I saw the SC editor patch notes on hiveworkshop the other day – does that mean people in the beta have access to the editor as well? Is there... well, is there the possibility to gain use of the editor without being in the beta? *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

 

Just pay the people at GameStop $5, yeesh.

@Midknight: CAD, really?

Lol, goddamnit we had this same discussion on IRC earlier. CAD used to be good. I had it bookmarked circa 2008. I was catching up today. As I got closer to current years it uberfailed.

 

One thing I really hate about 4v4 is that often people get placed in plat or diamond league without the skills to back it up so you end up with teammates that don't produce any units except workers in the first 10 minutes of game >_</

 

I lol'd. I played a game like that yesterday, but the other guy was Zerg, and he had the ability to rush me too.

I LOL'd. That's an awesome strategy. If you can't see the mutas, you can't focus them down.

THIS! My God, I miss the old days of CAD.

 

CAD used to be good? All I remember of the "old" days of CAD is my best friend explaining point by point how terrible it is (especially with the words. My god the words).

 

Apparently winning placement matches no longer counts against your achievements? I had 4/5 for solo zerg, and now I have 1/5...Should at LEAST be 2/5, because I've won two league matches now. Weird shit is weird.

Also, lol @ Diamond in random 4v4.

 

Just played a game where my partner got all his probes killed by speedlings sent by one opponent 10 minutes into the game. He had a gaping hole in his wall and zealots standing off to the side not blocking it lol. Apparently this guy is diamond 1v1, wtf? XD
