Anyone else playing in the leagues?  Other than a guy at work I don't know many people who are playing competitive matches online.  I'm only in silver ATM, so I'm not exactly stomping noobs if someone wants to pick it up   :closedeyes:

bacillus:
Still trying to get my hands on a free version  :glare:

Ammeh:
as above ^

dunno if I'll play online though, online RTS tends to end up as a rush of mediocre troops until the enemy is dead.

That was possible during the beta, but now that it's live I think you'll have a hard (read: impossible) time to find any keycodes to get playing online.  Since each key code costs like $50 or $60 or whatever it is.  I guess if you want to play single player only there's probably some cracked versions floating around somewhere.  But the campaign is pretty short; most of the game is the multiplayer experience.

Yep ^^  Watch some of the commented games.  The game makes a lot more sense when you see strong/pro players playing.  The hard core rushing doesn't work at high levels so they turn in to light harassment instead, with the core game focusing on scouting, building counters to what you scout, and managing your army effectively.

It is a bit of a multitasking fest, though, which can be pretty difficult to keep up on.

Ah, the Zergling/Zealot/random tiny creature rush. Dead in 12 seconds flat. Starcraft 2 like that as well?
I know somebody who apparently has a cracked version with a few bugs-he'll pass it over once the glitches are sorted.
