    yes, 3 of them, while the bay was finishing, out of the 3 robos. i mean, what else would you build before you could actually make the collossus? i fail to see the point here, i just watched the game again, and the bay finished after the immortals.

    the bigger question that game was - why so few gates, and why get a stargate at all against the units i was seeing when i was only on 2? robo was the better choice (or templar) at that stage.

    That was one of the games where hlprmnky could have just attacked and won at almost any time until the Colossus came out

    ...what? Now I'm going to have to watch these replays for sure. :rotate:

    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?

    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.

    it wasn't just the hydras, he could have rolled me with his hydras, roaches and 'lings.

    maybe elimination game nerves got you callow. you should have skated to the win game 4, or you thought i had a larger force than i did....

    My brain was just melted, kaput, done. I wasn't capable of managing using my hotkeys - I really had no idea how much of a force you had or didn't have. Like I said before, spiral into terribadness.

    e: Yes, I saved the replays and watched them. How am I not going to save a replay of us vs. iNcontroL?

    I just want to say the stream last night was ridiculously entertaining and the fact that it was for Childs play was even better. I did end up missing the 2v1 at the very end; looking forward to watching the replay for that. Good job everyone involved! For the children, etc.

    Nerves. that sucks. you could have forced a game 5 easily and melted... there's a lot of advice for dealing with nerves, but there really was a lot of pressure, with that many people watching, and the casting crew.

    nah, the worse unit was the VRs that i was sending before i decided that robos would be a good idea....

    What's a good way to practice macroing while microing? I tend to macro fine when focusing on my base or even sending in an army (they have some autonomy when they're big and you can a-move around the map). My initial scouting is pretty bad though, and I'll either forget to throw stuff down or lose the probe when I'm not paying attention.

    I'd like to start moving away from queued movement so I can start to pay attention to what the other player is doing while scouting with the probe.

    Wow, those replays were really...something.

    I especially loved how in the 2v1, Joe, you threw down a proxy pylon and gateway while his SVC was following your probes. And, of course, the mutalisk and VR counter to mass marines.

    But those games absolutely entertaining, so bravo, gentlemen.

    Build one Robo, then the Bay, then the other two Robos. Ideally the Bay will finish at the same time as the last two Robos. And you should have enough Gateways to spend the Immortal money on Gateway units. Ideally you should never be in a position where you say "Well, I have excess money and these Robos lying around, so I guess I'll make some Immortals".

    As for the VoDs:

    My classes wrap up (or at least me going to them) on Monday so my current plan is to get the editing done on Monday after I go Christmas shopping. The editing should be fairly quick and easy since I just need to cut the different games apart and maybe throw in some of the transitions that I didn't get to show during the stream.

    Once that is done I should be able to upload them over night and hopefully be completely done on Tuesday so that I can start studying for my finals
