| 10 | ExplicitVideoStarcraft 2 Amateur Hour - Carriers replacing Colossi | A build submitted via the Starcraft.org forums where the Protoss player uses Carriers instead of Colossi to support the Protoss ball.

Customer Reviews
Looking forward to this cast
I just got in the Starcraft 2 beta, and although I loved starcraft 1, I haven't played it in 10 years, and never played ladders. My husband has even less experience with starcraft and is playing in the beta. There's not a lot of starcraft podcasts out there, so I'm supporting this one! Keep churning out episdoes!
Great video podcast
