So like, why did they decide to just perform the E-bay again?

I think I heard that if you enable lift off in the editor it works and has animations already. You just need to implement ways to buy and sell things on an open market because I like word based humour.

Day 2: What is the WORST quote associated with Jim Raynor?

2026-05-21T15:00:25+00:00

Link to the first post

Hey again guys! It seems that the first post was rather well-recieved, so I'll keep making these for now. Same rules as yesterday, but this time we're picking the absolute worst quote that Jim Raynor has produced throughout the StarCraft media.

Narrating Build Orders in StarCraft 2

2026-05-21T15:07:44+00:00

Hi everyone,

coming back to SC2 after a 12 year-ish break it is really fun and delightful to see that there are still people playing and enjoying this game! Especially in this subreddit the general vibe I get is very positive even though there is the occassionaly rant. :)

To improve my own skills I started to created narrated versions of build orders. I prefer to listen to a build order over reading it mid game. Don't know about you but my eyes are already busy enough checking all sorts of things when I am in a game. Ears however, not so occupied. :)

Since these narrated build orders turned out pretty good, I wanted to share them with you, so I decided to upload a first batch to Spotify. Check them out if you feel the same way about build orders the way I do.

Find the Spotify build orders;
for Terran here:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5wDoAVBT7nasxaBQkAH3pg
for Protoss here:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5IdqZ4kxxA0D92CtMD2F94
for Zerg here:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1JvID03kUesuS5hmzV8iGU

I either start the build order "song" on a second screen the moment the game starts and then hop back into SC2 or listen to the "song" over my smartphone on my desk. It is a wise move to turn down in-game audio a bit, if you want to try this. I am sure there is room for improvement when it comes to integration but it does the trick for now. Feel free to suggest solutions!

If you are confused about what I am talking, I also made a quick YT video on it. You can watch it here:

https://youtu.be/kX48P8Ae-Zc

Let me know what you think about it!

Cheers,

Faux (not sure why I have such a weird username on reddit...I tried to change it.)

To the admins of this subreddit:

I have read rule 4 of this subreddit and, to my understanding, adhere to it. If you disagree, feel free to let me know what changes should happen, to make this post compliant with your rules. Thank you for looking over this subreddit!

CnC was my first RTS even before Starcraft. So many cool infantry ideas, all can be one shot by either getting squished, burned, ate, or irritated.

How do pros generally feel about cheeses being available or viable?

2026-05-21T17:29:05+00:00

I want to start off by saying I'm a relatively new (last 2-3 years) casual watcher of SC2 pro games.

I've been reading a lot of the discourse on lowering worker counts, and of course it comes as no surprise that ladder players don't like cheese (when it's being done to them, not the other way around of course).

Is cheesing viable in pro play? I don't tend to see it much anymore, but I feel like at some point in the past cheesing was more common in pro games (correct me if I'm wrong here).

Reading players here post about cheesing feels like it kind of parallels the way that Magic: The Gathering players feel about blue, and counterspells. They generally hate them, but the consensus is that blue is there to keep all of the greedy decks in check, and is therefore required for the health and balance of the game. Is that an apt comparison?

Thanks for the insight.

Just finished my collection!

2026-05-20T12:05:45+00:00

I got the Terran box as a kid - just ordered a regular, but somehow all regulars they sold were these fold-ups with the face in the front. Recently I thought about selling it, checked the prices, and decided to aim for the full set instead.

I like those more than the SC2 CEs actually!

How powerful would it be if Zerg Queens had Chronoboost

2026-05-22T01:13:24+00:00

Not a serious balance suggestion. But while I main as zerg, I offrace as protoss and chronoboost is one of my favorite macro mechanics. When I play zerg, I often find myself wishing I could chronoboost stuff.

How overpowered would it be if zerg had the chronoboost mechanic?

Day 1: What is the BEST quote associated with Jim Raynor?

2026-05-20T16:33:26+00:00

Hey everyone! Inspired by similar posts in r/Grimdank, r/masseffect and perhaps other places I haven't seen, I've decided to put together a table to document the community's opinions on the best, worst and the most iconic quotes of StarCraft characters! Drop your opinions in the comments, and next time I post the prevalent one will be featured in the table.

Just be mindful of readability, the quotes best fit into about 30 words, if you'll upvote Zeratul's mile-long rants, I'll have to crop them xd

I'm starting with Terran characters and will later do Zerg and Protoss ones as well if these posts will be well-recieved.

What 'Best', 'Worst' and 'Most Iconic' means exactly is kept intentionally vague, but a good rule of thumb to differentiate between Best and Iconic is that Iconic quotes are the ones the characters are best known for. For example, "Hell, it's about time" is very strongly associated with Tychus so it easily qualifies for Iconic quote, but it's not the most profound statement he's ever said so it's not necessarily a good fit for the Best one.
