    that's unfortunate but you can't go to so many awesome things if simply seeing cosplayers makes you miserable

    comic con?

    really?

    edit - anyone who watched my lobby game against DMR, was it alright? I honestly felt like I was in good position until I pushed into templars without ghosts. fucking single control group syndrome, I fucked myself. told a ghost to emp them, thought he was with my army but he was in my base. not helpful!

    but I want to know if it looked like I was behind anyway and my perception is off or what. thanks.

    It is the first time something like this has been made public in a pro-gaming house so you should be shocked. Assuming child molestation is something that just happens in a pro-gaming house/clan does no one any good.

    The GSL guys are terrible for keeping us in the loop with things happening around the map.

    wait, which GSL guys are you talking about?

    I assume he's referring to Tastosis
    Artosis was pretty good. They just insist on making Tasteless do it for some reason.

    The Korean BW observers are in another league entirely, though.
    There was one immortal built a few games ago

    And yes I think immortals could stand a minor (.5?) range upgrade or... something to make them less laughable if marines exist anywhere

    It's not the range so much, it's the fact that marines don't trigger hardened shield.

    You could give them another one range, but marines would still pretty much tear them apart.
    However, if you did give them +1 range, they wouldn't sit in front of all the Stalkers in your concave and be naturally focus-fired by everything. Immortals are much better at dealing damage than they are at tanking damage, really. One Immortal takes 21 Marauder shots to kill, while one Zealot takes 17 Marauder shots to kill. And an Immortal is 250/100/4 while a Zealot is 100/0/2. For a Marine, it's 57 shots vs 29 shots (yes, when compared to Zealots an Immortal is more cost-effective at tanking Marine shots than Marauder shots).

    I'd rather that an Immortal survives the whole battle in the back lines, kicking the shit out of Marauders the whole time, than that it died on the front line in the first 3 seconds so that a couple of Stalkers would survive. As it is, it's outranged by Marauders so it has to run into the killing zone in order to get any shots off.

    It's a little different now, since that was expected, socially acceptable, and not quite the traumatic experience that it is now.

    Well.

    I don't think social acceptability made it much less traumatic.

    I think it's the same where it's now socially accetable to be open about pre-marital sex. wheres before that was really really taboo.

    Would love some feedback on this one, especially because it's one of my first matches against a Diamond-level player. Even if he is off-racing!

    And this game is just hilarious.

    I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the air settle on you and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. - Ezekiel 32: 4-6

    I just don't know what else to build late game against Protoss that get High Templar apart from more MMM, I always get ghosts regardless they are too good not to get in the TvP match up imo, and vikings if they get Coloxxen. I decided in a game I just had that went for 33mins to plonk down 2 starports with tech labs, and then realised all 3 units that would come out of them have energy and would just get feedbacked. I guess BCs might be ok anyway? I could emp banshees before they engage the enemy?

    I did however pull off an awesome drop and sniped his Templar Archives, I can see why so many players do it so often and keep trying to make it work, it is so much fun!

    ghosts are the answer to temps like temps are the answer to ghosts

    that is, technically they can stop them but more likely you're going to have to deal with the storms

    plenty of medivacs and don't stand still once the storm starts. and fall back so you don't get trapped
