What's your online name?
(can't find it on the list, am probably just an idiot)
sacrifice an overlord at the rear of his base to see what he's doing
Protoss V Terran, Metalopolis. I scout early that he's going for reapers, but too late to change my build (gateway at 13). Besides an earlier gateway, could I have responded any better to his initial reaper attack?
I recovered and pushed forward with my economy, then he nearly got me again with a small force of marauders, but i JUst managed to finish a sentry, forcefield my ramp and delay him long enough to get an immortal out.
Game went on a little longer, then I spotted a factory coming over with two dropships with my newest observer, got a bunch of stalkers and sentries there, nearly killed the factory, then he just left.
Can anyone tell me why you think he might have left? Or did he maybe disconnect?

Oftentimes when a Protoss player goes Photon Cannons fast and uses them for heavy defense (or even a complete wall-off), he's going Void Rays. In fact, although you should always be scouting, if you don't know what he's doing early in the game, expect Void Rays, they almost always do. If he goes VRs and you were prepared, that puts the Protoss in a bad position.
Also, even if you can't break through with your army, use it to scout and make sure he's contained and not secretly expanding elsewhere.

Alucard, is your name just Alucard? And did you recently lose to a Protoss who kept rebuilding his Gateway wall? Or did you beat such a protoss?
Edit: I ask because I (Brigand.asmodeus) played a game against a Zerg player named Alucard recently.
Thing is, I did see the starport. I did try to tech to hydras/mutas, but it was too little too late. Even with two expansions, I never got enough workers on either one in the rush to catch up from my failed 6pool.
But you would still say that it's better to take advantage of the fact that he's walled in rather than to do everything in my power to break the wall as soon as possible?
no, my in game tag is tachi
Just go straight to Hydras. He's turtling so he can't afford to rush you, don't waste money on zerglings/roaches. You can't stop him from getting Void Rays, but the single base and cannons puts him at a heavy economic disadvantage so he'll lose any fight as long as you're prepared.
that's most likely the case
even though he destroyed my tech lab, that marauder just kept on building.
I think he would've had me if I did anything slower
Is a 6 barracks really an all in tactic? I figured it was just a good way to stall the other player for awhile.
If you're looking to be aggressive early game but not too behind in economy then opt for like a 10pool. Kill off his scout then sit around the front of his base and dip in every once in awhile to check things out and to spook him.
If you do this and deny scouting he'll have to respond by going on the defensive, regardless of whether you've been droning up or massing lings back at home simply because there's a threat of a zergling bust. 10pool should also be fast enough to win a few games if your opponent doesn't respond correctly or you can punish him for skimping of early defense.
he built no scvs
I'm sure he could've done something more reasonable. If I did pretty much any other build other than faster-marauders, he would've had me though.
edit: he also scouted with an scv!

White-Ra vs Sen gogogoog
well first hasuobs v dayfly
but soon! whitera v sen will be so good
aren't they resetting again soon?
thanks, I'll give it a shot.
I know I was just using 6 pool basically as a crutch. Hell, it did win me like a dozen games. But it's also lost even more, since I'd assume anyone above a certain skill level can defend against it.

Thought I added myself. Will double-check.
go to the actual ustream page if you are having problems
Dozens of them
The greatest of all units
Superior.
Build something to see them then? I mean, I love this tactic. I pop in my Warp Prism, warp in 3-4 DTs and let them go to town while my main army assaults the front. It's quite good and a lot less cheesier than 'olol dozen VRs"
First I've heard of it, but that would SUCK. I've got everything but the Siege Tank. I'm SO CLOSE to the Spectre, I can taste it. It tastes like the blood of my enemies and the lamentations of their women.
well, last night I was ~5 seconds from my observer when he wiped out the robo facility.
think it was right on the battle net news page in the game, as of yesterday
That is going to be really difficult for some folks.
excellent.
Wow How do you forget stim? but good job winning lol
By clicking it a billion times but having it never research.
Gogogo White-Ra!
Considering the cracked/hacked battlenet 2 is going to be released sometime around that time, I doubt it.

Best. Name. Ever.
What the fuck is this treacherous shit.
i wouldn't say difficult but its going to be rather annoying
ESPECIALLY if they pull a Blizzard and delay the game but only AFTER ending the beta.
That's suprising. I figured they'd run the Beta pretty much till release, then have a patch on release day.
it's a test match for the connections and stuff
