Welcome to the MML blog. Here you can find the latest happenings and mishaps that are going on in the MML clan. This blog is written by MML Oraculum. We also have a blog on team liquid that is written by MML Ninjamonkey.
You can find Starcraft 2 videos and commentaries at:
Marauders are a very versatile and strong terran unit. They can be deadly in early and late game and it be best they be dealt the iron fist. They are especially useful because of them amount of upgrades you can give them (stim concussive shells and attack and armour.) Their armoured qualities allow these metal pumping bastards to soak up damage like a sponge, but how do we get around this seemingly impossible mix.
Not only do dark templars have a keen sense of style, but they also have a copious amount of damage behind their blades. These templars are not as nice as the high templars. When it comes down to it, there just plain nasty. When you see this wave of nothingness enter you base, your first reaction will be to moan about the fact that they are there; you will probably just watch hopelessly as they destroy your base if you did not plan for them.
These blue meanies have an inane habit of just totally destroying anything they touch. This leads me to believe that they are actually a lot more useful than one might first think.
Queens are a staple Zerg unit; these units are a must have for any Zerg player. However, are you using them enough? One would most likely think yes, but I would disagree.
High Templars are the geniuses of the Protoss race. Not only have they learnt to fly, they can devastate you with their feedback–Thank Auir they aren't reading this. In all seriousness HT's are a versatile support unit. The longer a game plays out the need for HT's increases. This is because of their high damage attack and their ability to remove other units from using energy.
The HT's abilities are an all inclusive package to winning the game, it's not good enough to merely overlook this unit; it needs warping in! Just two or three of these in your army could save you the game when the time comes; this is due to its abilities it brings to your army. When 'psionic storm' is pulled off correctly, it deals massive damage to any lump of units caught within it.
A common question asked by the average Starcraft player is, ‘How do I improve my game’? Well this is certainly a very broad question but the people at MML are here to try and answer that question as best as we can. In this particular entry as our first post on how to improve your game we will be talking about the concept of expanding. We will be discussing subjects such as:
Why do we expand?
When do we expand?
What do I do once I have expanded?
If you are new or just want to improve your game this blog is certainly for you.
Infestors can be a huge pain to deal with. Not only can they devastate your units they can also ruin your day. As in life an outbreak of fungal growth can really ruin your day. But how do we counter this? We could buy anti septic cream, or even better, High Templars.
This section of the blog is a new daily insert that will show you the latest build orders that we find useful on ladder, whether it be 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4. Once we have explained the build we will rate it for you in solo and team games so you can see for yourself how useful we found it.
This weeks casted 1v1 is between two great players Buca and Markus. These players are both high masters and have a lot to show in game. This game ended up having a crazy twist at the end of it so be sure to check it out!
MML (MrMonkeysLounge) is recruiting like crazy, we are on the EU server and we want to get ourselves a lot of fresh members, we want to be close with the community of starcraft so if you are silver plus in 1v1 feel free to join.
We have a chat channel on the EU servers called 'MML', as soon as you join that you can pretty much consider yourself in. If we get a lot of members that are actively checking out our Blog and our Youtube regularly, we will begin to do tournaments in which you can win money. It won't be a big prize pool but a prize is a prize!
This is in fact our first post! We wanted to share with you a few commentaries that we have devised for your enjoyment. We first did commentaries for fun, we thought that people wouldn't watch it, but it turns out people actually enjoyed it. As a result of this, we went on to create the videos that I am about to show you.
Our first set of videos took place during a master league tournament that we created. The first rounds were best of 1. When the games reached a higher standing, it was then changed to a best of 3. As a fun bonus to the commentary, we also included interviews with the players after each game.
The first game that took place was SerraAngelDK vs Slayed:
As these games started as a best of one we lost players very quickly. This led to some quick, sharp, well played games that were enjoyable to cast. I don't want to give too much away as to what happens in the video, but all I am going to say is that it is a very unusual Zerg vs Zerg.
This was the second game that took place between Dev and Felonie:
This was a relatively quick game with a sharp GG that led us casters to confusion.
The last games where very entertaining and we saw some quite unusual play. I wont say who is in the final as not to ruin who won the other games.
