    Any place I could see the GSL games I just missed? I opted to sleep instead.

    Sleep is for weaklings!!!*

    I don't think GSL release replays. But if you pay the GomTV subscription you get the whole backlog of games.

    *
    The games are broadcasted at 12 am here, perfect for my lunch break

    I suck at SC2 and haven't been playing it too much. I found that I really like watching it as an e-sport though. Where is everyone watching the best streams? Right now I'm just consuming a bunch of Husky's stuff mostly because he explains the motivations behind they competitors actions in terms I can understand.

    Is there a good way to observe in-game matches? I could never figure that out.

    You cannot obs games. There are only a few slots for the actual casters. We all watch streams of the games from GSL (www.gomtv.net) that are casted by Artosis and Tasteless, whom (who?) are pretty awesome. And those games are live.

    If you can't afford the $20 subscription to GomTv they have a free low quality stream, or there might be restreams around....but...ya.

    Ed: Yes, Immediately go watch everything Day9 has ever produced. Just google it, I dunno the link. It's probaly in the OP though.

    Lack of scouting aside, in g2, I feel like Fruit Dealer got too greedy and wasted too many resources teching instead of making units. Droning is all well and good, but you need an actual army to back them up. Plus, he forgot the most crucial upgrade: Baneling speed. All the medivacs in the world wouldn't save the marines' faces from melting if he had gotten that.

    I am picking up a very decently priced new laptop that can run this baby at 35 fps at medium settings - not great, but nothing to complain about for the price I am getting.

    Which I am actually looking forward to as I have been playing this on my old ass desktop that runs it at about 20 fps on low settings.

    Textbook example was an appropriate English idiom for that situation.

    Don't worry, Zerg is quite a bit more difficult to learn than the other races. Zerg essentially has a whole other resource (larvae management) to worry about, and relies on having a good knowledge of specific timing windows to do well.

    I had one on Scrap Station that was the opposite. It turned into a base trade and I came out SLIGHTLY ahead.. but he relocated to the island. He turtled up and threw down all kinds of turrets while I rebuilt, so I did the same.... completely surrounding the island.

    I had 5 or 6 bases with turrets, Thors, and a blockade of Vikings stopping anything he tried to move off the island. I could have "just killed him" a couple times but I have to admit it was fun seeing my defensive line stretch the entire upper part of the map.

    I am appalled I can beat diamond players so easily.

    TvT became an epic base race and my harass had snowballed so he flanks around I just flat out destroy his defenses and and tearing his base apart while he pecks at mine.
