    I mean win/loss for both players? Or does it get ignored...?

    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

    There is a "tie" setting for custom games. It just says "tie" in your match history.

    I would like to share a moment of hilarity from game 4 of last night's bo5:

    While clicking on a queen, tapping 'v', and clicking on a hatchery (literally during the progress of these physical actions) I was thinking to myself (click) "Wait, why am I doing this? I have my queens hotkeyed! ('v') I know how to not do this! I should be using the minimap! (click) What the hell is happening to me?

    I cannot wait to hear what iNcontroL has to say about my spiral into terribadness. :D

    I don't mind the stalemate change at all. It's going to kill a lot more stupid ass games than it is innocent epic games, and since it isn't the death penalty and human beings, it is acceptable

    Heh; I forgot to hotkey anything except Nexuses in the game I was macroing for. Click-click-clicking everywhere.

    That's a lot more doable when you don't have to actually fight, though.

    Probably--since Protoss don't need hotkeys for warpgates (it's permanently set to 'w' for the standard control layout) I was just using that and clicking everywhere for robo units and upgrades.

    You only need a few colossi, generally, so if you can afford to be staring at your base the whole time anyway there's not as much need to hotkey things.

    I saw that, and in truth immortals aren't terrible against hydralisks. They go about cost-for-cost in small numbers (i.e. before the immortal's fat ass starts to screw things up for his team). The real crime there was that he already had the tech for colossi--making the immortal truly pointless.

    Very entertaining, though.

    more double retreats

    once you had the hydras out, you would have been able to a-Move thru my stalker/sentry ball. until the collosus.

    as for the immortals, i think that i didn't have the bay down, as i dropped 3 robos at the same time. i'll check though.

    callow, you saved the replays, right?

    ---

    on edit - game 4 - only 3 immortals came out because the bay didnt drop until after the three robos, and i produced 3. 1 died right away, 2nd died taking out his natural, 3rd survived.

    hlprmnky - watch that game, you totally could have beat me a-moving until the collosus popped. i'm going to take a closer look at game 3, but i think that you just blundered your way to a loss there. The back alley in shakuras is a trap.

    --- on edit ---
    yeh, you completely blundered game 3 away. i'm using blunder in the chess sense, you made very bad moves more than me making good moves.

    game 2... i'll look at your reactions, but if you scouted and only saw a pylon, in a non-walloff position, your bat-alert should have went off and and assumed cheese incoming.

    iNControl said it best:

    "The Zerg player has so many Hydras but doesn't want to attack with them. He probably played too much Sim City before Starcraft. Well, the Protoss guy has just started making Colossus. I predict he will win by accidentally bumping them into the Hyrda army."

    LOL because he was right.
