I play pretty regularly with some buddies of mine.
We're terrible.
I'm in and some peeps hangout in channel Geekhack
Protoss player!
I used to play a fair bit, managed to work my way from Copper in the beta of WoL to Diamond before HotS came out. Managed to get a few seasons of Dia in HotS before this current season where I've kinda stopped playing 1v1's becasue I'm just not having fun anymore... I'm in Platinum atm with an alright w/l ratio... when I play good I can beat masters Terrans and Protoss's but I'm garbage at PvZ QQ
I'm totally up for team games with people on here on either EU or NA, I think there is a GH group on EU(?) I'm usually in there when I'm online!
EU - BALDGYE#628
NA - DEEPINSIDE#788
Hello friends. I am Masters Protoss (retired)
I play Terran casually now cuz lolwidowmines

I hate widow mines... LOL so imba T.T"
That's why I think the decreased radius for them in the balance test map is awesome xD
Okay, maybe I'll buy HotS.
I haven't played much SC2, and not much Melee at all, except during the Beta (which was lots of fun. About the only time I could maintain platinum rating).
I'll see if I can track down a reasonably priced copy of the game and join you guys in the GH channel.
Then I can get some time practicing up my melee skills again.

I agree, cuz right now all terran has to do is make marine medivac and mines.... super continuous push split marines or run towards mine field, and win
Well theres more to it than that but general idea ^_^ and if zerg loses their 4th vs 3 base terran its pretty much going to be sour for zerg from that point onward
Sifo, how do I get into masters? #GOLDSPRINGS required?
:p
Uh I'll be there but not sure what my status will be at the venue, access wise
Was at IEM today, got to meet Suppy, Demuslim, HerO, Apollo and Kaelaris
Saw Naniwa beat San (personally not a big fan of Naniwa lol)
Suppy's a cool guy and super nice, and Apollo/Kaelaris are funny and super nice too!
Some pics!
Btw irony of today is i didn't get any pics/autographs of any Terrans =(
But its ok because i'll be going to RedBull NY next month and i will track down Bomber!!!!
Uh I'll be there but not sure what my status will be at the venue, access wise
lol VIP ACCESS??? =O
if you do... I want you to go get stuff signed for me xD
swagwithme <- (random name) on EU. :x Terran playah..
Please invite me to the clan on NA!
By the way, I think you could't found the clan "Geekhack" because Baldgye/Nasus already created the groups on EU/NA.
Maybe if they delete them, we can rename the clan. Would be cooler if it said "geekhack" and not "geek hack" :)
I play Protoss; Cyrus.404

I had made a group for GeekHack on both NA and EU but no one ever joined it.... I can't really be appart of a clan because my main NA acc is already part of the DAMP clan
just found this thread, i would love to join the GH clan. Iv been following the sc2 pro scene for a while, but i get to much ladder anxiety so im not very good lol. The past few days iv been playing alot more tho and want to start laddering/get over my ladder anxiety next season. name is: Reign #821 on NA server. and i play protoss.
Sure thing bro I'll add you to the list. You can send me a PM in game if I'm online. My ID is in the OP!~ I can help you out with getting rid of ladder anxiety ;Pok cool added you, and that would be awesome if you could help.
I really really want naniwa to be knocked out, he might be the best foreigner but he's just a horrible person.i like nani, but i have to watch the TaeJa game, hes my favorite player, he is so adorable.

haha the only game I care about now that MC and Inno are out is the dong vs mvp
Bitter-sweet result, wanted both players to win :(the king of wings!
MVP will forever be the King
Koreans are so good that nobody from anywhere is remotely competitivelol thats not true. Koreans do dominate the sc2 scene, but there are a lot of non Koreans who are competitive...
really wana see a sos jd finals :(me too, JD wins it all tho
really wana see a sos jd finals :(me too, JD wins it all tho
Not going to lie, that series was horrible.

Lol. Well kinda anti climatic. SCV pulls......

Legendary games! I hope that Naniwa is watching these games and is learning how he should play against zerg.

Disappointed, not becasue JD didn't win but becasue the series was not really that good... JD played pretty badly and made huge mistakes.... :/
sOS ! what a final. some might say he cheesed to victory xD but a win is a win :pIndeed a win is a win no matter what, gratz to sOs i am so glad that a fellow brotoss won this! ^^

sOs played amazing, as much as I wanted Jaedong to win you can't take away the fact sOs played better.
.........hype killer
sOs played amazing, as much as I wanted Jaedong to win you can't take away the fact sOs played better.
.........hype killer
I feel like that's exactaly what didn't happen. IMO the ony games sOs played well were the last two games of each series.... The other games he literally just won because the other player totally screwed something up...
Game one was probaly the best example of JD ****ing up. He killed 5 collosus, transitioned into ultras when sos misread JD's switch and was going mass phonex when he could bearly afford to do so and replace the tech he had lost... Then when the base trade happened all JD did was kill the 4th and then pace around the middle of the map watching all his hatches die... It was horrible to watch.
The second cannon rush was ok but again JD reacted horribly... He scouts two stargate 4gate and goes spire?
IMO the only good game SOS played was the last one, but then JD made no units...
The bomber sos series was one of the worst I've seen since a GSL finals though... Holy ****... Open stargate every game do nothing everytime, bomber gets a sick opening and further lead... And then looses his whole army for no reason.... Was dissapointing given day 1s games to say the least

well tbh, sOs hit plenty of good storms. bomber's bio army just melted.
any dia/plat zergs on here that want to help me out... I can't pvz for ****ing ****.... its silly I have a 29%w/l ratio pvz but pvp I'm coming upto 70% and pvt I'm nearly at 90% w/l...
my acc details are in the op... hit me up with a pm or something if you wana help a brother out
Ermm when ever really... Are you in the GH steam group?
well feel free to add me on Steam; BALD_GYE

Anyone saw sons of starcraft yet? I heard that it is TERRIBLE but i didn't have a chance to see it yet. Share your vision on it if you have watched it.
It wasn't THAT bad to be honest, but it seems to me that it is just some weird interview put in a shot movie by some random guy. The stories in it were somehow nice but at the same time they felt out of place almost. No idea what they are trying to accomplish but it is not working out for sure.Anyone saw sons of starcraft yet?

If you watched the Super Smash bro's documentary on there scene, they had a budget of about 12k i think it was and there's is a ****ing master piece, super well made and really interesting to watch (as someone who's never played that game)Is this free to watch? If it is can you please give me a link to check it out? Thanks :)
Son's of Starcraft is a confused cluster-**** of random interviews, out of place edits of artosis and tastless walking around talking about nothing. There is no direction, no plot (hur hur) nothing of interest. Not even what they are telling is new... **** the Day9 daily about that WCG and the stock footage recorded of the event is 100x better than that ****ty waste of 30mins that is Pt.1

Really struggling to care about DH tbh... though taeja's mechanics are just insane the way he took down Hero was like a masters player killing a bronze guy, it was silly...I hope it won't be as easy to beat Life..
I'm a Terran player. But I'm supporting Life on this match. :DLifeeee!!!
taeja's mechanics are frighteningIndeed as much as I hate Terran this TaeJa kid is unbelievable, gratz to him well deserved!
Taeja just nutted on the crowd :))That awkward ceremony at the end of every DH... priceless! :))

If your watching him control his army his micro isn't perfect but it's pretty ****ing good... But then he constantaly has no money because his macro never stops, it's insane.
That is old pic, TL must use Razer gear from recently at least on tournaments..It's from Winter 2012 so I'm pretty sure it's still relevant.

hey dragon, what is your Bnet ID? so I can add you to the list in the OP =D
Well, if you execute the Master/GM builds well enough

So you are basically playing freestyle and don't mimic Pro builds? This may be why you are getting blind countered due to "different" meta.

ohh my ****ing god playing masters players is SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE!! Loosing games not becasue you ****ed up an FF or missed a storm and just becasue you got out played or out macro'd is so much more enjoyable! being suck in the ****ty leagues for so long made me forget the joy of someone picking apart your weaknesses and giving you something to build and work on! ...and then winning is so much better! :D
Just smashed up my router... becasue some piece of **** trash cannon rushed me, or tried... then tried to 3gate blink all in me, which also failed and just after I killed his natural my router crashed.And how does that make you feel?

low level leagues are so confusing... lol
hey i like my bronze league thank you very much
i should upload a replay of mine where i had my bro playing my account, he hasn't played since HOTS released.
He was just doing some silly build when he was attacked by a cloaked banshee so he was just like "whelp, i lost my army so i guess i gotta expand to the other side of the map"
he just kept expanding and taking bases, after like 30 mins he had like 18 gateways and almost 3/4 of the map controlled, while the opponent was stuck with his main/natural/third and maybe 4th? Anyway he was like "yeah only in bronze league can I get away with this"

Back then, we had a tournment :-) that was streamed with a camo filco as prize... provided by our friends at KeyboardCo....
Good times. Maybe we should get a mini tourney up? It was fun even though we were all at different levels.
it would be pretty cool also if we could organise a night were we would all jump on a server and play the round robin custom game thing :)

So I just played a game against the AI and it just felt so fresh. The altered economy is just great and promotes expanding.

Yeah I watched a few games of it today and it looks really cool... Just a shame that there is no custom leagues... I feel like unless it can keep it's momentum it will just fade away years before we get custom leagues to support it

Yeah, proper matchmaking and ladder support is essential for the Mod's succes IMO. We can't go back 10 years to Broodwar times and manually organize custom games and forward the results to a webpage or something.
It's just to convenient to click the "Find Match" button and face an equally skilled opponent. Without a ladder to climb up there is no real reason for me to get better...
But let's hope for the best. Hopefully Total Biscuit keeps promoting it - I feel this helps a lot!

I just played that new map that everybody is so hyped about and to be honest it felt like utter **** to me, 0 balance and some super strange mix of BW + sc2. Maybe i will give it another chance some day but for now i really can't understand why everybody is hyping this **** so much.
I'd be in to get another tournament going.

it's actually really well balanced atm... what 'balance' problems are you having?
Like I said it seemed more BW than SC2... I wish they had kept the collosus as i feel it would make transitioning into late game protoss a bit easier vs mech but then I never played BW so its all very new to me...I'd be in to get another tournament going.
a pot luck 2v2 team tournament! :D

Almost 50% of the entire player base of Sc2 1v1 is in bronze league!
http://nios.kr/sc2/global/1v1/hots/
Almost 50% of the entire player base of Sc2 1v1 is in bronze league!
Yeah, I saw that, too. It got even bigger after the patch!
I guess Blizzard underestimated the number of players that came back after the patch to gain the new levels and try the decals. This obviously led to a even bigger number of players that found themselves in bronze due to decay, so their actions to change the league distribution achieved nothing.
Impressive how Blizzard managed to **** over a working system by introducing a decay mechanism nobody asked for without even informing the players. Of course people ar butthurt now.
I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to be new in this game. You get placed into bronze and since it's so big you'll see no progress although you might actually get better. After a couple of seasons these people just say **** it and leave the game forever.
I think the first two promotions should be really easy so newer players get a feeling of progression and some kind of reward. Maybe they should just introduce two new leagues between diamond and master and promote everyone up one league to fix this.
This might shut up all those people stuck in silver claiming they are gold/plat material and face ex-Masters constantly ;)
I can't access the bnet forums from work, so I can't see it.
But wasn't there a blue post yesterday claming something like "We're seeing an increase of promotions. Everything is working as intended."?
And now they are telling us they haven't implemented the fix? Are they straight up lying to us *flipping table*
Well I was diamond in WoL and early HotS and now I am basically gold, not that it bothers me.I can't access the bnet forums from work, so I can't see it.

Pretty much seems like it... Gold league now represents the top 28% lmao... which isn't too far from what Diamond used too be?

It's silly... but leads to interesting games becasue neither you or your opponent has any idea who you are or how good you are... so instead of there being a meta game... everyone is just attacking constantly and for no particular reason lol
Hello everyone,
We’re trying to finalize the changes we’d like to look into with a balance test map very soon. Like we said recently, our main focus has been on Protoss strength, especially against Terran.
Photon Overcharge duration decreased from 60 to 50
We’d like to try a smaller change with Photon Overcharge duration than we previously proposed because we agree that going too low on this side could negatively affect PvP. On the balance test map, we must make sure to not only test how the change works out against the other races, but also in one-base PvP play.
Time Warp energy cost increased from 75 to 100
This is another option we can go with. We hope this will decrease the effectiveness of early game Protoss strength, as well as somewhat decrease the power of Blink-based strategies, which have become a lot more effective recently.
Ghosts build with the energy upgrade built in
We believe this change will not only help Terran against Protoss, which is our top concern right now, but it’ll also help with TvP mech. Right now, we’re seeing a lot more mech usage in both TvT and TvZ, and as far as mech buffs go, we’d like to only touch TvP right now.
Hydralisk cost decreased from 100/50 to 100/25
We’re most concerned about PvZ with this change since Hydralisks are really only a core unit in that matchup. We’d love to see how the testing goes for this change on the next balance test map.
We don’t think this will be problematic for either side in TvZ right now. It’s very Zergling/Baneling/Mutalisk focused for Zerg, whereas Terran players are exploring mech play and have the already solid option to go bio. We were thinking this buff will potentially help open up some more options for Zerg in this matchup.
In ZvZ, we’re seeing a lot more Roach focused strategies than before and believe this change will allow for easier Roach/Hydra transitions.
Overall, we want to check what a general Hydralisk buff would do for all three matchups in the next balance test map.
Late game PvZ
Additionally on the Zerg front, we’re seeing a bit more in the way of super long and dragged out PvZ games in Europe. We’ve been discussing this internally and believe the main issue comes from using Swarm Hosts in a completely defensive way while taking additional expansions, massing Spore and Spine Crawlers, then continuing to play passively while using Vipers to pull key Protoss units into the forward, massed Zerg defenses. For this strategy, there are two main units involved, as well as the massing of base defenses, and we’d like a change that only hits this specific part of the PvZ game. We believe that when Swarm Hosts are not used in this manner, they aren’t an issue at the moment, especially when we see them being used in a lot of games coming from Korea. Similarly, when Vipers aren’t comboed with a mass of base defenses, we also don’t see the Viper being too powerful in other scenarios.
So the change that we’re thinking about is:
A Passive Tempest ability that allows them to deal 2-3 times more damage vs. Structures (We’re not 100% set on the actual value yet.)
Protoss players who are facing this very passive Zerg style can get Tempests without too much trouble, and they come into play late enough that we’d like to test this change. If Tempests can not only kill the Crawlers much faster, but also allow Protoss to make cost effective trades more easily in this mid-map standoff scenario, we believe there will be much less incentive for Zerg to play this way.
Again, none of this is final. We haven’t published a balance test map on it, yet. Your feedback is welcome, and if this process goes smoothly, we will look to publish a balance test map within the next couple of weeks at the latest.
Thank you.
100/25 hydras are reasonable for zvz, roach v roach can get so boring sometimes idk about other match ups tho P will must go fast colossi everytime...
Hey guys new to this forum and about to get my first mechanical keyboard! was wondering wha switches you guys prefer for your sc2 gaming as that is what I play mostly.I wouldn't recommend blacks for SC it will hurt your fingers. If you want linear switch go with reds and if you like a small bump while pressing go with browns. I personally use blues since I don't mind the noise and I am quite used to them even for gaming.
I've checked around and there are a few resources that specify what model keyboards the pros use but don't usually specify the switch type. I'm leaning towards blacks but I'm afraid they'll be too stiff after having tried reds briefly. Blues aren't really an option due to noise concerns my gf will kill me. so mainly I'm looking at brown, reds or blacks. which do you guys prefer?
Today I met AGMurderCore on the ladder and he stomped me :))Stomp is really not the right word here, it was just a nice game that i managed to win, but you played well!
Edit: oops double post :-[

Actually it does matter, most pros (at least in SC) use browns. More than 300 apm with blacks will hurt your arms quite bad. Sponsorship doesn't limit the players even tho some still play on rubberdomes :SHey guys new to this forum and about to get my first mechanical keyboard! was wondering wha switches you guys prefer for your sc2 gaming as that is what I play mostly.

I play with reds or blacks. It doesn't matter though, when it comes to noise, because I bottom out anyway. Use whatever you like; everyone is different.
Most pros probably use blues or blacks, but that's because they get sponsorships and again, it doesn't really matter in the end.

they were saying that time was 6 protoss at least. it's not about balance at all; the majority HATES mirror matches (bad for viewership numbers) and pvz isn't good enough to make up for 50%+ mirror matches. the only good thing is i don't have to watch bio balls being brain-electrocuted to death. have they shown the brackets yet?
still frustrated with jjakji leaving code s, but understandable.
the resurgence of blink all-in is really weird. there were alot of buffs(seige mode) and nerfs(longer blink research) that should have made that impossible. it's all back to the mothership core again...timewarp and high ground vision before observer is insanely strong.
early game is ridiculously bad for terran. but late game losses are cause they're getting lazy with snipes.
this whole templar thing is really parting's fault; he was pulling off psibiobombs way back in summer of 2012.
I have SC2! If you like crappy TD like squadron, call me!Play crappy squad TD with me!

I have to disagree I think Terran has the of the strongest early games. The blink all in, is exactly that, an all in. Everyone knows what the fix for it should be though, and that's vision range.

What random brands are on it?
It has the team name and the Title Sponsor.
which is pretty common for jerseys and kits.
United's base home kit starts at $88.00
And you got AON plastered across your chest.
http://store.manutd.com/stores/manutd/products/kit_selector.aspx?selectorid=518
Chelsea's got a big Samsung and starts at $90 on sale.
http://www.chelseamegastoreusa.com/departments-home-kit.html
Even team liquid just has their title sponsor on it for shirts they sell.
http://www.teamliquid.net/store/us/teamliquid/tshirts/teamliquid-team-shirt
I mean if you're gonna talk about sponsors everywhere:
EG's tshirt has all their sponsors on it
http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/men/evil-geniuses-team-jersey/20637/
Is $65.00 for a polo a little bit on the expensive side? yeah probably. Problem is ofcourse the VAT and Duty rates for importing these shirts into the US and EU.
USA Duty for 100% cotton shirt is prob around 19.7% + MPF & HMF (if shipped by ocean).
Dunno where TL's warehouse is located, but if its the netherlands its 12% import duty & 21% VAT charge.
Plus customs fees and shipping, i can see why the shirt's gonna be $65.
Especially if the order was only the small amount of 750 shirts.

Talking of bad businesses, oh hello football...
But yeah I have the TL team shirt and its nice and they clearly put alot of work into it into making it a nice shirt. That said tbf the football shirts (from what I understand) are made from material that is designed to help your skin breath and is made from fairly exotic materials and has some RnD costs into it too, not to mention the fact that they are usually made by Nike, Adidas etc...
The T1 shirt how ever, is just a red polo shirt from an un-named brand, from what I understand a deal couldn't be worked out with Nike to produce them (T1's clothing sponsor)... at which point they should just have been made in China for a low price and sold at a low price. As it is (again from what I understand) they are made in Korea and shipped (at great expense) to TL who then sell them on.
I'm all for supporting teams, it's why I have so much TL stuff but you can't justify and support foolish and bad business practices... like if they couldn't get the proper shirts made, why bother at all, why not just instead print a standard red tee with the T1 logo on the arm or something and have a quote from parting along with a silly picture of one of his ceremonies next to it?

have you seen their store page now?
They have Medium shirts left, all other sizes are sold out (S,L,XL,XXL).
So i think its pretty good business for them.
Im pretty sure the deal as to why it wasn't officially through Nike officially has to do with the fact Nike wouldn't have control over selling of the jersey.
TL is in no means authorized Nike dealer, so it'll be difficult for Nike to allow this.
Not to mention a 750 qty purchase order isn't big enough for Nike when they deal in thousands+ purchase orders.
The shirts from what is said are manufactured in the same 3rd party warehouse that nike's official stuff comes out of.
Its just doesn't "pass" nike's QC nor allowed to use their patented technology in cloth and logo.
That's why for the plant themselves they're fine with a limited small press of the shirt.
I see it more of a service to get people team apparel instead of nothing at all.
I think TL prob is either breaking even or maybe loses $$ after all the expenses are tallied up.
They make more selling their own shirt for $25.00 than they do selling the SKT1 jersey.
I'm sure a portion of the sale has to go back to SKT1
And its not just Football(soccer) jerseys that are that expensive
pretty much any NBA/MLB/NFL/NHL replica jersey are about $70 USD.
Authentic jerseys (on field/court/ice) start at $150 and up.
so you propose they just not do it instead of offering it and seeing if there's a demand for the premium price?
have you seen their store page now?

No I propose that they do things that make sense, but like I said I'm not on the inside and am only going off what I've read from TL people on Reddit and TL.
Of the premium clothing brands on the market, its safe to say that alot of there markup is due to the brand rather than the quality right? And everyone else pretty much operates at a similar level in terms of quality and price... well if this is just a regular polo... that they could sell in large numbers... it would make more sense for them to make a similar but much much cheaper version using Chinese companies (for ex) than having it cost them alot and have it being made in Korea...
I think TL and EG are pretty good examples of how you market and see clothing and other merch...

korean companies have a national pride with their stuff.
It could be if it wasn't made by the korean distro, SKT1 wasn't going to allow their branding to be used.
remember, this isn't TL's decision on selling the shirt, you need SK Telecom's permission which i can see why it had to remain in Korea (If you didn't know, basically many south korean nationals hate china lol)have you seen their store page now?

The sizes are definitely not unisex... I ordered a small and when I typically buy esports/game shirts, I get men's small and they fit pretty good especially after one wash. The jersey definitely fits roomier than any shirts I've gotten, probably because it's a jersey, but its still pretty big on me (5'2", around 110 lbs). Will have to see how much this will shrink.

Yeah pretty sad. I would just consider building a different team to work on LotV at this point. Such bad flexibility just doesn't suit a team of game designers.
What a douche naniwa is.Yea that was kinda lame... Every pro player that ever played on stage knows the risk when proxying stuff. I think it was just an excuse to get away from the game that he hates at the moment. I can't say I feel different about it tho :-X

doesn't even give a crap and forfeits.

Does anyone else have trouble motivating yourself to play starcraft? I feel like I've hit a wall, skill-wise, my mechanics aren't improving and my mmr is jumping between the same steps. I don't think more or less when scouting or just general gameplay. It's gotten to more of a pattern than anything.
I open 15 hatch 16 pool, make two sets of lings because I know it's going to be a reaper expand, take my gases at around 5 minutes and try to get my third at 6:30-7. Hold the 2-2 upgrades midgame push, counter attack and either throw or win the game. I should have a 4th up, so I try to max on ling bane muta while teching to ultras. Unless he attacks me at this point or slightly before, I attack while being careful, making sure that the mutas don't die. Remax on ultra ling bane, depending on how much damage I did with the previous army. I can either attack him off-creep or wait for him to come to me.
And thats pretty much every ZvT I've played for the past 3 weeks where I don't do something stupid like roach-nydus, or an odd mech game. I have the same issue with zvp but its not as bad with zvz.
MMR decay killed any motivation and enjoyment I got from the game and I've not even launched Sc2 in about 3weeks or so... and I used to play daily..They changed the decay a lot, it degrades a lot slower, and it takes almost two weeks for it to kick in. You might be talking about the ladder percentage changes.

I am one of those who doesn't have any problems with protoss, I actually think they are weak in Diamon and lower. I dislike ZvZ though... a lot.
I'm pretty sure I just played my first map hacker, he sent his first crossmap to proxy a rax without scouting the other bases.First? I've played with dozens of them, just report them with a valid reason they should get banned.I'll upload the replay in an hour or so.

I really want to watch that documentary :thumb:
Did someone watch Proleague yesterday? KT vs SKT sure lived up to the hype yday. Was a hell of a day. The studio was packed, the lineups were insane and the games did justice to the lineups. get reKT :pI think quite the opposite, besides the crowd the games were one sided and boring (if they weren't played by 'names'). Flash choked as usual and Zest played uncharacteristically bad unlike all the skt1 players. I was amazed by soulkey only and wanted to see Classic. Rain is boring as hell..

I missed it.
When i saw the results tho, i really couldn't understand how HuK took 2 games off of Polt. Like, Polt was the only Terran who could, around the time IEM Cologne happened, counter blink builds really smart. What even happened?
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

HuK's a good player and could have won the series but he threw it away. Plot plays standard macro games and HuK is known to be hyper aggressive, so it made for a good set of matches... but HuK ****ed two all-in's and couldn't catch up once he fell behind.
Oh god JD dropped out of WCS AM premier... Again in the ro32. :(
What do you guys listen to when laddering/playing games? I found that I need to have something with a decently high tempo or it just makes me feel slow.

I am abroad for ~5months so only crappy internet. Just browsing, no gaming :(
I hope to make a triumphant return to the ladder in october :p
5 new placement matches and then hardcore grinding back into masters!
I will suck so much after that long period of inactivity. It will be like re-learning the game ;)
I played in a swedish community tournament last weekend, I got two rounds in, Winners got a set of siberias, second place got a signed mouse pad. I faced the winner in ro8 and got rekt the first game, so the second game I did this stupid 8 pool build. You go 8 pool, make one drone, extractor trick the third zergling out. You pull two drones to make evos in the opponents base and the zerglings pop out and surprise the guy. Well it didn't work that well(as expected.) He saw the drones with his overlord and then I forgot to mineral walk so one of the drones got surrounded before it became a evo. so I lost. but In this tournament you could send in the "fanciest " game you played and have a chance to win dark souls collectors edition. I sent in the replay and won.
TL;DR?I just won a copy of Darksouls 2 collectors edition by making a evo after a ****ed up 8 pool.
ALSO WHEN THE **** WILL PEOPLE STOP OPENING 15 HATCH AGAINST $o$, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

protoss............ .............. .............
Yes but 8 pool is designed to kill a greedy protoss that goes nexus first (quite common on a 4 player map) and does not scout. If scouted 8 pool is an insta loss.I don't think it's really an insta loss. Definitely puts you behind though if you get no damage done.

I don't know man... any early pool is usually annoying for protoss to deal with :mad:. Hate it when I get on a 5 win streak, and then an 8 pool just comes and breaks it so easily.

Defend ur main with a cannon in your mineral line, then proxy a stargate and build a voidray... Kill his queen with it and most his drones while getting two gates and a nexus :D ezez

Usually do the cannon in mineral line thing, but transition into 4gate instead. There's just sometimes where you can't get the forge/cannon up in time, just rage inducing losses lol.
4 gate transition i quite bad if you ask me, especially against Z.. that proxy stargate is very scary though. I have troubles with rushing DTs lately and you can't scout proxies unless you get lucky. The standard 6 min 2 overlord scout does not seem to accomplish anything these days, toss learns how to hide properly and you can't be prepared for everything unless you cheese which already sets you quite behind if defended.
Hmm I guess I'll try that next time. 4gate has worked consistently well as a followup for me in the past, so I just stuck with it.

Was around top 700 NA in Hots when i stopped playing seriously. Had most of my passion during the WoL era, never got GM, but consistently top 400 of ladder.

Yea 4gate was powerful in wol when pylons powered on high ground you could even cannon rush him easier, now zerg needs 5 roaches and couple of lings to stop it. Early 3rd from toss is what scares me. You can't punish that without big committing and if it goes up unpunished then you better gg out :D
Did anyone catch this during pro league ?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/AWxWt2t.gif)

I hope you can keep playing regularly now and don't get ****ed by MMR decay again...
Now go for Masters!
What?!
Are you sure they removed MMR decay? I just read the softened the effect a couple of weeks ago. But it is not gone as far as I know.
Can anybody confirm this with a source?
Taeja, #1 Terran #1 player.
Anyone else find it surprisingly demoralizing that they don't censor cursing and indecent jokes? I spent most of the time watching without sound rather than hear 90% of useless chatter. I mean this is starcraft 2 (e-sports) and not Richard Pryor stand up.
True, and I agree. I just saw it on the main screen of sc2 and figured it was heavily promoted and I just hoped that it wasn't the new norm :oAnyone else find it surprisingly demoralizing that they don't censor cursing and indecent jokes?

But that's what Homestory Cup is all about! It's a unique atmosphere and that's what I like about it.
There are hundreds of "serious" tournaments out there. If this is not your cup of tea just watch the Dreamhacks, IEMs, GSL, etc.
Do people find Destiny funny? He annoys the hell out of me..

Yes.
Home Story Cup is by far the best tournament, the best casting, the best atmosphere and a really good spread of the best players. With all the dull as **** WCS **** that's literally killing sc2 I don't know how anyone can have any negativity towards HSC.
I missed all the extra post stream nonsense this time as I was busy but I can't wait for the next one, epic tournament.
I've not been watching it all but that last game was terrible, Hero played like total ****.I think its incredibly hard to play the third game when you're down by 2, at that point most people would just try to be satisfied with second place. There are exceptions of course.

taeja is the BEST ghost user bar none. that's why he could still win during the first part of power of protoss and inno died.
but all the other terrans went full retard and tried to counter storms by dropping.
except feedback. derp.

it's not like taeja's ghosts come out of the barracks any different than any elses'
Isn't this against the rules or something? I mean it was fun and all but..
Ah ok then, toss op anyway :))
Just as my musing on the game never played it before as I don't have much interest in this type of game, and I don't know what happened everything went so fast, I lost quite horribly I think I had a group of Marines killed and then lost to bots :x but I promise their sacrifices will not be in vain.
If only the loser is allowed to switch race, how Scarlett played zerg in the last game?

It's just practice :P there is a practice league you can do (assuming you didn't skip it) that puts the game at a slower speed and puts rocks and stuff in the way to stop you being rushed etc :P
They knew the rules, the rules themselves were very unclear though, "The loser of a game may select a different race for the next game." It seems like Scarlett should have played protoss the next game.That was exactly what I asked above, why she played zerg? Yea MLG is always like this, the games were more enjoyable than a standard ZvZ anyway :D

Humm I will have to have a look seems very complex to me this game though although I do see myself enjoying it, even if I am not a fan of the RTS style games, although coming from playing 40k for quite a while I seem to like the terran :p Also just found out I can press R on those storage bays to lock them under the ground letting units pass over o:
That Code S trash talk was cringe worthy.....It almost always is, we need more partings.
You should still be able to train on NA ;)
Yeah, keem 'em coming baldgye!
I wanna follow your journey to masters as long as I can't ladder myself :thumb:
I'll probably start to play more next season, It seems like most of the people I used to play with have stopped.
Prior to this week I've played roughly 10 games max per week. After playing a long macro game or two I just feel "full" and satisfied though, thats why I kinda have a love hate relationship with allin protosses, Its nice that every game isn't 45min+ but those ****ing immortal allins get me almost everytime.
I 7gate all in with a warp prism becasue getting a 3rd is pretty much impossible lol... every game I've done that build vs Z be it a Diamond or Masters league guy I've won...With forcefields on the ramp? You dirty bastard :'(
Is this build safe against a 4gate or the 10gate into 3gate allin that hits even sooner?
I always go MS Core first when I do a 1gate into Stargate build to be able to hold this **** :p
Really? The 3gate allin is supposed to hit at 5:30.
I doubt you had the MS Core, 1 VR and 2 Stalkers + 1 sentry at that time.
Sounds like your opponent totally failed to hit the timing when you were vulnerable :p
I think thats actually a fairly big problem with trying strats below masters, just because it worked doesn't mean its viable, maybe the opponent was just ****ty enough to lose to it.
baldgye u my ladder hero bro =)
Failed cannon rush into failed oracle = win, such skill...
Or any WCS for that matter
Eh, They've won their way there. I do think that they should make it a requirement to have the players live in the respective region during the season. Especially for NA, as the ping is really good from kr.
What about the koreans that moved from kr to live in europe, like golden or forgg? Having the player be a member of eu seems like a unnecessary requirement.Eh, They've won their way there.

I feel like you need to be a resident of that area/country. If you're a Korean living in Europe... you can't play in WCS EU becasue your not a member of the EU...

Where do South Americans, Africans or SEA people belong then? Or they need separate WCS for them?
I for one wouldn't watch either NA or EU if there weren't Koreans in it. For example this one, what would the final be, Welmu vs VortiX? **** that..
If there was a good growing NA and EU scene I would watch both and would have kept my GSL sub
the problem with SC2 is that all the top players are from korea as it's sustainable there
If there was a good growing NA and EU scene I would watch both and would have kept my GSL sub
Thats why there are the ex GSL koreans to keep up the quality of the games on NA and EU and thus the stream numbers. If it weren't for the Koreans this game would have been dead sooner rather than later whether you like it or not.

is it wrong im very tempted to buy one of those new TL Jackets?
Personaly I don't think they're that expensive, (assuming they're high quality) 100$ isn't an incredible sum for a jacket.
is it wrong im very tempted to buy one of those new TL Jackets?
I don't know, I think the TL jacket looks terrible. The hoodie is much nicer.

damnit, more competition to buy this jacket! lol
i want to say TLO's shorter than me....but im like blanking on his height when I met him last year at IEMNYC.
Just grabbed a Jacket and a Shirt at the EU store - my wallet is not happy ;)
I was gona come up with some smart comment about the sytle of the jacket, but who am I kidding... Your right ahahaI don't know, I think the TL jacket looks terrible. The hoodie is much nicer.
Just because it's not pink, doesn't mean it's ugly :p
I like the elegant white style!
the TL jackets sold out on me... I was at work =( *sigh*
should be shipping today. Looks like I finally have something worth getting autographed in september at red bull. On the inside maybe?
I'd like it to be functional. Even permanent will come off? If not maybe I'll bring the white poker 2 assuming massdrop ships it by then.

Wasn't it really good when it was streamed through the gom-website? Might have been that the other streams at the time looked like garbage.
all of them had it
that was a hard game to catch everything sorry guys
henry likes to troll me
Sifo, I'm impressed. Obsing game two of polt and san must have been ridiculously hard. I would have no idea on what to look at.it's been hard dude especially with low caster audio (crowd too loud, no headphones). I have a speaker in my face :p
you forgot proxy mines and scv pulls ;)
I tried to switch to terran at hots release. I would 8-8-8-8 every zerg and if the game continued I would mass mines with a few marrines+medivacs. Holy **** anyone who thought mines were balanced just because "zerg players just need to micro and split more" was probably braindead. I was clueless as to what todo in the other matcups, mines don't do well vs colossus or tanks ;_;
those protoss tears....so deliciousMy first thought awell :)
I don't know about that, Zerg are pretty sick at a-moving.. terran players have to do hard **** like stim there whole army all the time
I don't know about that, Zerg are pretty sick at a-moving.. terran players have to do hard **** like stim there whole army all the time
as a fellow toss player, zerg is much easier to switch to. As terran I find myself not making the right decisions after that initial early/mid game aka beyond mmm.
I stared playing in the PTR version today. It doesn't like hybrid settings.

Yes. Still feel so bad for snute. Sigh so close.
I managed to find a super dumb all-in which seems to work a-ok vs diamond terrans... 8gate robo all in... chrono out 3 immortals and then a warp prism, warp in 8 zelots into the main FF out the army kill natural loooooooooooooooooooooooooool gg :)You should do the proxy oracle into two voidray 3/4gate all in, carried Maximusblacks into gm, and seems too be keeping him at top masters, despite his gold league mechanics.

Let's turn SC2 into flash vs jaedong.No way jaedong can keep up with the top s-class players these days. But I do wish SC2 were a better spectator game. Still hasn’t been anything even remotely close in SC2 to the kind of amazing games seen in e.g. the elimination brackets of the 2010 Bigfile MSL. That Flash vs. Fantasy semifinal series, damn. Oh well.

Anyway..
Does anyone know what KeSPA (or other tournament organizers’) requirements are for keyboards? As a silly example, would a player be allowed to use a Nostromo for a keyboard, assuming each key was set up to only emit one keystroke when pressed?
I might be wrong here, but I don't think you're allowed to install drivers, so while they can use any keypad device, the nostromo/orbweaver wouldn't work due to the lack of synapse.What I’m wondering is whether anyone knows the explicit requirements though. It wouldn’t be too hard to build a keyboard that could use a regular USB HID driver with a keyboard in a shape like that (or some other wacky shape). I’m more curious about whether there are requirements related to the physical layout than related to the drivers / firmware.
I doubt there is any documentation on this, or at-least in English.I might be wrong here, but I don't think you're allowed to install drivers, so while they can use any keypad device, the nostromo/orbweaver wouldn't work due to the lack of synapse.What I’m wondering is whether anyone knows the explicit requirements though.

Anyone watching WCS Europe now?
R.I.P Korean scene.
How do they have themselves to blame? The best players just happen to come from a place where the game isn't popular enough to sustain the scene. Kespa/esf are just an organization, sure they could have hosted more tournaments in korea but you can't guarantee that sc2 would be larger than it is currently. It feels stupid that they wouldn't be able to hold a gsl and wcs kr at the same time as separate tournaments.R.I.P Korean scene.
They only have themselves to blame. They have the best players and the worst scene, everyone ran from Kespa when they could and talked about how bad it was, yet when Kespa made the move to Sc2 they all went running back.

The reason why they weren't allowed to was that it was Destinys first tournament and they wanted to protect their players incase he didn't pay up

Protect them from what danger, they play some random people in an online tournament no one watches? It's that short sightedness and total lack of any knowledge of the world outside Korea that has ****ed them and will continue to **** them.
Why would someone with the reputation as Destiny and with how his career and income works, put his name on something and then not payout.

Latest "How it feels" I can definitely agree with the cannon rush segment, feels like bull**** regardless of what happens.
I recall someone somewhere said m0re cache helps SC II..Googled it but found nothing other than the usual "starcraft uses 2 cores/threads and so you want a cpu with a high clock speed and lots of cache." You might get a better answer if you ask on teamliquid.
can't remember where..
anyone got more info on this ?
SC2 is badly optimized game overall. They fixed some things with HotS but for a 2010 game it should not have problems on any modern system. 4v4 is still not playable for many..

Yeah, from what I understand it uses insane amounts of CPU... tbh I run the game on the lowest settings anyway so it dsnt actually affect me... but even then 4v4 games can chug... Blizzard is (in my experience) super garbage at making engines and sc2 isn't any different. I imagine there art and lore teams are bigger than there tech teams
Talking of BW, its one of the few games from that period that people still have problems running, hell I couldn't even get the BW SP to work properly and when I contacted support all they could do is offer me a refund...

did we watch the same tournament?I feel like the production and everything going on around the event is fantastic, everything is pretty much perfect, except for artosis. Tasteless is alright, even if he has nothing to add, that's because I feel like his role isn't to add any form of analysis or knowledge.
it went better than most sc2 events.
dh has some of the worst production and weirdest caster chitchat ever; geoff is really awkward, especially when he tries to passiveaggressive other casters. if you're going to make it feel like a conversation, go hsc style. otherwise, keep it as a presentation like they did it here and in most iems.
it's so nice not having 15min+ breaks between games in the same series and 30min+ breaks between every series.
i'll take smooth production over 'too cool for school' casters (really the only bad person is geoff)

No issues in other games? Tried other servers?
All the changes look and sound awesome, but I am still sceptical.
I was just as hyped after HOTS was announced and most of the previewed units didn't even make it out of Beta...
Still, the changes seem to be more fundamental and gamebreaking which can only be good of the game :thumb:

I guess its a long way from beta but, as a Protoss... Idk how I will ever win a PvT anymore... That said PvT seems to have swung back in favour of T anyway so it hasnt been easy for a while.I think the major issues were the lack of ling speed, late queens and macro hatch. Also the ravagerthingy 's attack might work with a 2-1.5 second delay, too easy to dodge atm.
But yeah, that game looked scary for Z... Maybe mass speedlings?

How?
PvZ was figured out, broken and never fixed
PvP was one base till you die
PvT is basically the same but T and P have less options
TvZ is the same but T has less options
TvT is the same
ZvZ is max out on roaches/the same
What fun can be had in WoL that you can't have in HotS? The problem HotS has/had was that it was too similar to WoL and non of the real issues with WoL where addressed and that it basically played the same but with matches taking longer rather than being 'fixed'...
Is it just the map pool?
Not really sure Terran bio is a deathball, maybe the three base turtle mech but that's just mech and if you scout it, it's gg.I primarily meant the mech deathball.

Yeah, the ladder system is ****ed up for everyone below high master / GM.
You shouldn't read too much into previous results though. Back when Masters was as big as 7-8% way more people made the cut (including me :p).
Or maybe a Master played his offraces in unranked - you'll never know.
It's really frustrating how Blizzard ****ed up the ladder system. I wish they just get rid of MMR decay, reset everyone and start over again.
Welp got out of gold league Saturday night... Now back to getting back into Diamond -_- and then hopefully once back there to boost my mmr enough so that when I'm working of if I have to go away for a bit I don't just get demoted again QQ...

Alright turtletoss should be a thing for lotv, I bet that will fix it!!!1
I dunno what to think about the swarmhost change.
Sure, it has the potential to minimize turtle play, but people will just find the next best thing to ***** about.
I appreciate Blizzard's effort to do massive changes, but I am not even sure whether it's worth it considering LOTV will change everything again anyway.
I just wish they'd launch LOTV beta next week and run it as long as need just like Dota 2 which was in beta like 2 years.
Obviously this will never happen because of the existence of WCS...
I mean I am happy I am not indirectly forced to do 2 base all ins in PvZ anymore to avoid 1h swarmhost games, but I am not really enthusiastic either.
I went 25/3 last season and no promo.

Well I've started using this site; http://nios.kr/ which gives you an idea of where u are on the ladder for your region and how close you are to promotion etc... according to this I'm now 7 places away from being back in Diamond, which has to be a good thing? I'm also now loosing more points per loss than winning for wins, which should mean I'm close to promotion? idk... but for now I'm Rank #1 in my division and alot closer to diamond league via that site;Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Fq6Igzw.png)
I went 25/3 last season and no promo.
I'm starting to wonder if it's based on what "division" you are put in. I went on EU and went 15/15 and was promoted. But I know it's rare to get a promo without a lot of wins or win streak.I went 25/3 last season and no promo.
while that w/l ratio is very good I think the overal amount of games is low for a promotion

While they are are at it they should remove MMR decay as well :D
It is normal to loss points after a promo? I was close to 600 points, got a promo, now I'm at 402 points.

To which league were you promoted?
It's normal if you go from Diamond to Masters because they have a different bonus pool system.

Did I rustle you? Idk mang why are you still complaining about them not 'fixing' the ladder when they're patching that **** in right now. Lmao
Hey m8 they 'fixed' the ladder what more do you want???
Why would you put fixed inside quotation marks?
Flame you? What are you talking about?
You tried to call me out and got slapped down, also, when the **** did I turn 30?! A little notice would have been nice, shiiiiiiiit
Oh and that post with the Reddit thread link wasn't aimed at you, more just aimed at the general topic of this thread ;)
Weren't you the one whining about not being able to stay in diamond cus of ladder decay? lol
Why do people care so much about the league they are in? Everyone whines about the peprcentage distribution, its like saying: Blizzard please make masters bigger so I can be one...

Love that a guy who openly smurfs and cheats not only gets thousands of $ from blizz but also beta accesss
Who is that?
Not familiar
Explain.
He stream botted his own stream, openly until he was the top viewed sc2 stream.
Is masters league but only plays in gold/plat in the guise of 'helping people learn'.
Got into GM on NA at the start of the season, lists himself as GM never played on his acc once it got to GM.
Got caught donating to himself to help drive up the real donations to his stream.
Blizz did awards for best personality, etc.. Winter won one and came second in 'best streamer chat', despite having an empty chat due to it being all view bots, got (I think almost $2000 from blizz in prize money).
Gets early first wave access to LotV.
The guy is a piece of **** and his stream is terrible, he openly cheated his way to the top and is now being rewarded for it.

Atm phonex is the only way to deal with the cyclone... And you can use it to sort of transition into something not totally useless... But now it's being hard countered??
Am I alone in being totally lost? Phonex where just looking to be a cool opening vs Terran one base play... But... Now that can't happen?

Thanks for the offer, but I guess this would be too much of a hassle. If I access the account from a total different IP it will get locked and then we'd have to go through all that **** with the security question etc.

Add me if you want. I don't really play teamgames, 'cause I don't like them but I love to discuss about the game ;)

-autistic range
-can dmg buildings
-and can attack up and down cliffs

nope, I was excited when I got in, but after installing it I played like 5 games and never touched it again.
the tournament features etc. are nice, but I'd rather wait for the release. Doesn't really make sense to train something, if everything is changed every other week....
Good friend of mine compared zerg now to WoL toss, you can't transition behind pressure builds. Really hope they revert injects :s

Yeah, it's pretty odd and making extra queens to spread creep to then have them auto inject is pretty dumb... Was also thinking now, whats the point as Terran in making orbitals? If you make a PF and add missile turrets your base is on lockdown lol
They should simplify this entire genre..
Let you pick the troops and your base setup..
and just let you guys launch waves at each other..

WCS Blizzcon finals incoming... I do wish they could get all 16 players to Blizzcon instead of this Burbank studio stuff again. Hopefully we'll get a lot more info on the unrevealed details about LotV. Would imagine Blizzcon is the moment to reveal those since everyone interested in Blizzard in general will be watching and there's only a couple of weeks to release.
Whats there to reveal? We know when the release date is, how the multiplayer is and the basics of the story.We still don't know how exactly the co-op mode works, although some more information about it was just released. People who were at the Blizzard summit such as IncontroL have referred to there still being other unrevealed stuff. He strongly hinted that people will be able to make their own automated tournaments for example. I suspect that's not all of it.
You can make your own automated tournaments already...

Honestly hots zvp sucks ass. Any early aggression relies on the toss not making a sentry or 3. Can't pull the game into the later stages either cus then your army is worse if they tech up or if they stay on lower tech their army is just so much more mobile. And if you play a little too greedy during the mid game you get rolled by +2 blink stalkers. Not to mention all the 4 billion all ins that you need to memorize.
Not much point in being salty considering my race will be broken in 2 days EleGiggle

No life lost because he let sOs scout his all in from pretty early on.
ZvP/PvZ is the best it has ever been as the game is pretty even though-out the early, mid and late game. No more OH **** I HAVE TO KILL THEM WITH AN ALL IN BEFORE BL/IF or SH/CR... I mean all that will change thanks to the new ultra's and lurkers but in HotS it's pretty fair.

What? How do you deny someone from probe scouting on a 4 player map? I guess you can block the ramp, but if they know where you are and you don't have an expo started by 2:40 its either a 13-12 14-14 with or without banes or some stupid roach stuff. And with a that early forge you have a almost a build win assuming you see the lack of expo.
The kill before they get there role has been given to zerg now. Obviously its not as bad because toss takes a longer time to build the un-killable army compared to swarmhost+static or bl infestor and zerg has more midgame options than toss. Although a lot of them lead to you dying to +2 blink stalkers.

I watched like non of snutes mutas die in the first fight with the vipers and infestors, figured snute had it and alt-tabbed, then noticed it never stopped, who won?
I still play a few times per week, mid masters atm. Haven't had much time to watch dh, Glad thought that most zvz games have changed in a way that you don't have to play it to understand the fun :D
