I like this idea, is there a way to contact other members of the group?

well you need the actual URL of their page, so if someone wanted to go through plugging in usernames and character codes to the top bar, we could add everyone on GH

edit: oop! just reread this, misunderstood. Knowing that everyone browses GH I think the best way of contact is through the PM system here. If you find someone you'd like to practice with, you can add them with the information on the front post.

That said, I just booted up SCII and there's already a geekhack channel on SCII, so we can play some games and junk! just click the chat channel button beside the clock on the mainscreen!

Not everybody has the same geekhack username as there Starcraft username.
Also, I am always in the geekhack chat channel when I am on Starcraft but there is usually only two or three people in there.

Why don't infestors make good writers?
Because they can't handle feedback.

54 pages of ramen variations and discussion. The most life-changing thing was the notion of poaching an egg with the noodles while they cook. So good. Fancy ramen is now a GSL finals tradition.

Thats how I started, then when I got better (plat/diamond level) It was terrible. Terran always hitting right as spuire goes up...

So I bank like 800/800 for mutas, see force coming:

1) Make bane, Lose supply and then you have no way to harass.

2) Make mutas, get roflstomped by marines.

Also, anyone think that the english casters on GSL would look much better wearing the suits that the korean casters wear? (It's the beige coloured suit that you occasionally see when they switch to the korean casters for a moment before switching to the english ones)

I liked the blazer over T-Shirt. Then this season they started wearing a full suit. I want them to go back to the old ways = (

nar · « **Reply #624 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 18:50:12 »

The T-Shirt over Blazer had that cool nerd look, but I think GOM wants a more sportscaster look, and I don't believe any sportscasters wear anything less than at least a suit and a dress shirt.
What they have right now though looks way too formal.

There is this caster/commentator/talk guy for Ice hockey and he wears the most colorful suits ever, so I think thats not quite true. And Esports appeals mainly to the younger generation and we're definitely fine with the dressed in casual. I think the blazer on shirt struck a smart look that also said "I am a gamer tho".

hashbaz · « **Reply #626 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 21:48:03 »

I think it's great if they want to go for a more professional sportscaster-ey look. But those are not professional-looking suits. They look like two 15-year-olds wearing ill-fitting hand-me-downs at a funeral. The Korean casters do look much better. When I think sportscaster, I think

hazeluff · « **Reply #627 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 21:55:45 »

I think a suit will work, just not the ones they have.

Yup. You can look casual or professional, but you can't look like a schlub.

I hate their new suits, too! way overdressed! ... I think wearing (and freely advertising for handsomenerd.com) their geeky tshirts under a blazer was the most authentic :-)

Well, how you do in Starcraft not a very good indicator of how you'll do in RL.

The skills tho are somewhat transferable.

The Micro/Macro management. Resource management. Decision making. Critical thinking.

tYcLief.133 (NA) here. Plat/diamond Zerg. Great with micro, working on my macro. Average around 100-150 apm depending on the game.

Currently use a Razer Lycosa and my new Revolution MX (old was an MX 1100). The Lycosa sucks though, and my new keyboard (Ducky 9008 G2, browns) should arrive today; can't wait. That should definitely help.

Blank keycaps ftw. You shouodn't ever have to look down on your keyboard unless its shift + num. Those symbols are so hard to remember.

The clouds of boobs thing is a figure of speech from this forum == something about Reds/Topres. ><

I normally touch type, so no need to look at keys - but when learning Dvorak I find it helps, at least until I make it to at least 80wpm.

Nice to see a healthy interest in SC2 here.

I'm a gold level terran but I haven't played Season 6 yet. I'm more macro oriented in the sense that most of my wins come from me outmacroing my opponent then running him over in one attack with superior unit comp and upgrades. Micro, mechanics, decision making, and crisis management all are far behind though.

Right now I'm stuck in another phase where I'm having trouble finding motivation to ladder so now all I do is watch the pros play lol. Anyone here one of those people that LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch SC2 but have never played a single game?

The most important part of the game is macro. And the main difference of skill in that range is "Macro".

After plat its more about micro:
good positioning
using spells (fungal/emp/storm)
drop play
burrow play

yttrium · « **Reply #649 on:** Sun, 26 February 2012, 03:01:58 »

Oh no, I know what you mean and agree, I just hate seeing MMM a move being used in plat, and even gold.
