Yes it's a great game. I can't stop thinking about it or playing it.

Team games are definitely fun, especially if your teammates are decent. However I would have to say SC2 in it's purest form is 1vs1. There are a lot variables in team games. Most are outside your own control. In a 1vs1, it's man vs. man, skill set vs skill set. You don't have a teammate to blame, neither does he. No team mates to make mistakes, etc. I love 1vs1.


Couple of things I've learned playing as Terran 1vs1

As Terran vs. Protoss: Mess with them early with Reapers, or protect your base with siege tanks and missile turrets while you tech for banshees. They usually go for an expo which opens them up to getting raped by Banshees and Vikings. I usually go just Banshees first because they can tear down turrets or cannon and can then retreat to the safety of your own missile turrets in your base if they get hit by Vikings or Phoenix or something. Then I start building mass Vikings and keep Banshees going at first sign of AA. Cloak is very important with Banshees.

As Terran vs. Zerg: I almost always base drop them with a solid mix of M&M. Don’t forget Engineering Bay and some missile turrets in your base for the Mutas. I win most games against Zerg. You gotta do this quick, and don’t let them see you doing it. If they see it, you lose, if they don’t, you win, 90% of the time.

As Terran vs. Terran: This is actually my toughest matchup. I’d much rather kill a Toss or Zerg. You really don’t have much choice here as any decent Terran is going to Marine rush you. There are combos such as doing a quick 8 marine rush then following it up with a Siege tank and more marines, etc. Every single time someone hits me with Marines, and I haven’t been doing the same thing, I lose. So you pretty much HAVE to do it in order to counter them. At least for now, I haven’t found another way around it. So if they do it, you both counter each other and games goes on and transitions into Mech usually, if they don’t do it, you win. Kind of how that goes.
