The real question is how good Thorzain will look with a chinstrap.

Thorzain right now looks a lot like how Idra looked a few years ago. It would be quite funny if in a couple of years he looks like Idra does now.

Frozenzen · May 2012

Honestly, Thorzain to EG is pretty sad for his skill though. We all know that joining EG means you stagnate or get worse.

the name 'Greg Fields' officially used in The Economist magazine *killself*

Mr Fields. Really? That just sounds so... odd

I've been playing protoss (changed from terran) for a month or two by now, have been playing overall for about 6 months but don't seem to be improving. I'm always stuck around rank 6 to 30 in bronze league. Any tips? I'm in Australia if anyone wants to play 2's or anything like that!

make dem probes and pylons. pick a build (let's say 3 gate robo on 1 base), perfect it, never stop producing and a-move.

yes, sir. i'll give this a try and stick with the 3 gate and robo on 1 base. i've read about this on liquidpedia, but are there any videos out there I could watch or any players who use this often?

Yilias · May 2012

It's a common enough PvP opening, I'm sure there's been a GSL game recently that had it. If noone else has posted something by the time I get home, I will.

MMMig · May 2012

But but... Throzain doesn't have the muscle mass to withstand EG's rigorous training regiment.

seriously
EG......... ugh..............

I mean, OK, but ugh..........

Didn't they already have a gosu terran?

They've got Lee Ho Joon, king of 1-1-1! And... that British guy.

Biosys · May 2012

demuslim, the third best player in the uk

i have usurped him

next, bling...

MMMig · May 2012

Ah, yeah I forgot about the pink-headed guy who invested in facial cream (Pew-ma).
Yeah he's good.

demuslim doesn't count as a gosu terran =\

Going to Korea will be good for spoon.
That NA Team House hasn't been producing too many results, sadly.

Yilias · May 2012

Maybe training with Boxer and MMA will make him more aggressive.

MMMig · May 2012

Has huk ever lived in the Arizona house?

Yilias · May 2012

I do not believe so.

Biosys · May 2012

both code s semifinals tommorow~~

it's pvt which suckssss~~

Biosys · May 2012

huk was there for a little bit after the mlg arena, but he's back in the ogs house now i believe

So, Code S finals; I'm thinking:

Champion: Parting
2nd: Squirtle
3rd: Mvp
4th: Hero

Opinions?

Frozenzen · May 2012

Seeing as how I will be watching code S tomorrow, expect parting to lose.

He keeps doing awesome stuff when I don't watch, but I have not seen a single live game with him that impressed me so far

needs more zerg.

and cowbell.

Yilias · May 2012

I would bet money that some Korean player just got a shiver and decided to change his name to CowbellZerg.

Biosys · May 2012

i am thinking mvp may just be like 'fuck these guys, they haven't even won one gsl yet' and just straight roll everyone

would be nice too cause i don't know how much longer he'll play T.T

mEEksa · May 2012

I wouldn't mind a Protoss winning just to curb the balance whining.

fatalspoons · May 2012

I had the spoons nickname first. Everybody just keep that in mind.

Frozenzen · May 2012

The best way this GSL ends is MVP winning to shut terrans up forever.

Yilias · May 2012

But if that happens then the Protoss will complain. It's a lose-lose situation.

best news ever maybe?

incontrol is the best personality in the game by the way, not that i wasn't already sure of this but damn

if it happens in long games where the toss plays well perhaps

if he does it the way he beat naniwa it means nothing for balance

but parting shouldn't lose that way, hence him being parting. I'll be blown away if he loses at all, even to MVP.

didn't he live there when he was in korea before? got a code a spot iirc but sjow was the only one to even advance a round?

granted that wasn't for nearly as long.

so we'd have 3 EG players in korea but not living together right?

mastman · May 2012

that video and InControl are hilarious.

random side topic
fuck these anti-smoking ads so hard-- I don't smoke and it's so disgusting

edit: the commercials are gross cause everyone is all talkin out of those wind pipe thingies or showing us their busted up shit. Don't mind smoking

chuckleberryfinn · May 2012

Begining to think about quitting myself, although I'm a grumpy f*cker at the best of times, I imagine not getting my hourly nicotine intake would lead to murders.

Would make the gym a lot easier though.

mastman · May 2012

no sorry, I meant the commercials and the people all talkin weird are gross.

Frozenzen · May 2012

As a swede I only get silly phone company commercials most of the time. Sounds like a better deal than yours.

Invictus · May 2012

Tanner changed to Terran? Holy shit. I leave you guys alone for awhile to get some writing done, and when I come back, it's dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

mEEksa · May 2012

It's not just Tanner, Dhal switched too, and a few other people. It's ~craaaaazy~

Invictus · May 2012

Yeah, I kinda knew about Dhal. He wanted to play T during the team league, and he was moving toward playing T full time by the time I took my hiatus.

EDIT: Though to be clear, I am playing D3 when ti comes out next week, so my SC2 hiatus is not yet properly at an end. I hope to earn enough money on the auction house to pay for HotS.

mEEksa · May 2012

So are you going to start playing again? I've lost count of how many times you've said that you'll start playing seriously followed by a few month hiatus.

^^^Apparently not.

Invictus · May 2012

Yeah, it turns out that the emotional intensity the game requires is more demanding than I keep thinking it will be.

EDIT: But I'm still following the pro scene! : )

mastman · May 2012

some good nerds playing at mlg.tv
leenock vs. polt

Invictus · May 2012

With Grubby commentating!

fatalspoons · May 2012

I'm probably out when diablo 3 is released, too. Except for drunken customs of course. I will still be trolling the SC2 forums, though. I like it here.

redraptor · May 2012

I posted a blog on TL about sub branding and my old favorite team.

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=336328

basically I didn't say it there but I think SC2 brands like

EG, Quantic, Complexity are completely sterile

shit logo designs, bad colour schemes, mediocre merchandise, just poor aesthetics

it sucks that actual brands with strength like ROOT (so kewl) and Team Vile (best logo around) get eaten up with no effect on the entity that gobbled them down
