I'd play but I can barely manage to even get into the "copper" league of the game, makes me wonder how good you have to be to get placed in the highest one

because micromanaging a single character walking through countless dungeons of similar shape but different colors and facing enemies of similar characteristics is not lame.

So what does this Beta consist of? I'm assuming it's fairly limited, compared to the full game?

1v1, 2v2, and 4player FFA. Only very easy AI, and no sp.

You can:

-1v1 (Random opponent selection)
-2v2 (Random opponnt selection)
-3v3, 4v4, and "VS CPU" are locked, but i'm assuming those are random matchups too, then aside from those you can create a custom game, which of course you can invite a friend to (doese't count towards your league score though I don't think)

-If you play vs computers, the only difficulty they can be set to right now is very easy
-Can't go past a 2v2 match, even in a custom made game (No maps yet with more than 4 players)
-No campaign available yet (Obviously)

Also, if you create a custom game, you'll sit there for about 5 minutes and nobody will join, until you set the map to lost temple. No joke, nobody plays any other map.

Edit: Shaft, what league are you in? Do you ever use Protoss? I've been looking for ways to counter void rays early in the game (since everyone barracades themself in their base and mass produces them early in the game). Just wondering if you had any pointers (If you use protoss). I've looked everywhere and there are no strategies to counter them Protoss vs Protoss

Void Rays are weak against Pheonix.

All I play is protoss, and im not in any league yet. Im a pretty big noob. DooMer is good with the protoss.

Damn, I was hoping a first tier unit would be good with it with some strategy, who knows, void ray rushes is the only way i've lost with protoss so far... I can't even use terran or zerg, I lose every game.

Pheonix is the cheapest unit at the stargate, you should be able to mass those faster than someone can mass void rays. Only problem is that they are air only.

They nerfed the Void Rays a bit in patch 11. Other than Pheonix i think the only other unit early that can hit air units is stalkers.

Wow, I am RETARDED. I didn't know stalkers have a warping technique, it's game over once you get it, just micro attack the void rays one at a time with 12-14 of them and they can take out a group of like 10. It's pretty funny watching them fly over a cliff thinking you can't go after them, some even stop looking at them and give you time to blink over and finish them all off
