Holy Shit! It's the return of the Penny-Arcade 1v1 tournament!
After a two week hiatus the 1v1 tournament is back for just two more weeks! With the beta coming to a close we need to get as much play in as possible so what better time to start the tournament a new?
A couple things will be different this time, first: the tournament will be taking place on Saturday May 22nd at 4pm EST
The tournament will be limited to 16 people and each round will be a BO3, because of this there will be no losers bracket (I feel the BO3 eliminates the need, plus it cuts down on what will probably be a lengthy tournament.
If you want to register simply send me a PM with your Bnet ID and Race. Seeding will be done randomly so there is no need for your league.
I hesitate to do this last bit a little but I figure it can't hurt. If you would like to make a donation for all the hard work that I and all the kind people that help me run these tournaments (Sceptre, McSnuggles, Ryan, etc) you can give a donation to my paypal account [email protected] (any money given will most likely go to me buying food :P)

I got upgraded to bronze and won a few games. I am now bronze rank 4! Whoo, suck it pennies! I also won my last game just before the server shutdown! Whoo!

I'll probably be placed higher after everything gets sorted out. I'm just glad that I made it to the top of bronze before the wipe and got a screenshot.

Did they ever make Banelings useful? It has been ages since I played Zerg (I really need to get some practice in with them vs. the CPU to get the hang of them again).

Banelings are amazing and they melt every light ground unit.

Also, they sort of made them useful by nerfing roaches and making people more open to the idea of a Baneling nest (like me for one, I never used them per-roach nerf). However, I still detest the roach nerf

Banelings are boss and only bad Zergs don't use them
What are you talking about guy? Banelings are pretty boss.
I seem to recall them being bad (at least from a cost per damage standpoint) initially. Honestly I haven't played zerg since one of the early early patches of the beta though (they had changed so much from SC1 that I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with all the new units, hence my sticking to terran/protoss), so I was curious.

I only hate the most recent roach nerf. It makes them so difficult to properly place in my army now.

Patch predictions: Hydras are now a melee unit until upgraded.
Backspace hatchery cycle removed from the game.
I like this idea, if only from a lore/cinematic standpoint.
Haha that would be pretty crappy though. I mean, that is what zerglings/roaches are for. Plus zerg have crap anti-air choices at early stages - you push that back further and you are relying on spore crawlers alone, which is pretty bad....
They already have a melee attack for the lore stuff though.
Not sure I follow. In the lore they have a melee attack, yes. In the current build of the game, they also have a melee attack in addition to range?
I do not think so. I know roaches do.
Why is it important they have a melee attack "according to lore"??
Can't they just have a melee attack because they have big fucking scythe hands?
meh. I'm just going off the cinematics. They show hydralisks digging into the marines and such; this is awesome, and I'm always a fan of cinematics matching gameplay.

Probably the server reset.
Your Bronze is gonna be short lived eddiz.
Also, there is no Saturday the 23rd. It's either Saturday the 22nd, or Sunday the 23rd.

Welp!!

Yes, when they are in melee range their attack is a melee animation.
I do not think so. I know roaches do.

Oh word salad.
This the lore, y'all.
The game is f'ing fantastic. I can't even describe it really, but it feels so competitive and unforgiving that winning is just really great.
One question though: There are so many Zerg players! I'm a Zerg player right now. Did I pick the OP race, or what?
meh. I'm just going off the cinematics. They show hydralisks digging into the marines and such; this is awesome, and I'm always a fan of cinematics matching gameplay.
edit: oh is this just a mac client thing?
Their attack at close range is melee. I assure you that both roaches and hydras have a melee attack.

I can't imagine it is; there would be no reason for PC clients to download it
