You're breathing down your opponent's neck at any positions and your natural's half a mile from your main ramp.
I find it's especially a problem for protoss. It's really easy for a zerg to apply pressure to your expansion, and it is very hard to stop mid game terran bio pushes because the ramp is so big.

jameskeenan I'm at c20... where are you in the room? not like we can warm up yet
They think Blizzard blacklisted us... We shall see if the PAX tourney happens. Sitting at my computer hoping to practice since my keyboard fell through and I have to acclimate to this fancy one here.
Day9 is wicked nice. Completely approachable and friendly. We're bff now
we gotta make sure we meet tomorrow for sotg and the husky/day9 deal
james too
and I think mmmig is here
edit - yeah I only brought my mouse. I'm gonna stand up, I'm wearing a black hooded jacket... best I can do! I've only met jameskeenan before. but like I said pc c20
I approve of this abuse. The other day i started a game, I went GLHF, he went "fuck u". It totally focused me, and i gave him the biggest mouthful after beating him. rude peeps are annoying.
Regarding the HT debuff, it really is so hard to spot as terran and a single storm can completely root you. i trust that bliz will keep things balanced long term. all this whining, what is this WoW? "oh noes they lowered the spell damage co-efficient of shadowbolt, i am quitting this game to teach bliz a lesson". Admit it, even if the debuff goes ahead (which personally i dont think it will) you will continue to play and probably develop some new strats anyway.

How is anything hard to spot with the race that can see any part of the map it wants instantly?.
Scans arent unlimited, and hidden tech doesnt just jump out at you on the minimap. If the tech is put in a place where it will be spotted, the toss deserves to lose.
is the change going to hurt toss? undoubtedly. It was never my position that it wouldn't
Going to start laddering tonight or tomorrow as protoss, haven't really played since beta and that was Terran. Anyways any tips or anything before I start? I am going to do some custom games and get a 4 gate down.
Basically if I play against zerg get a zealot then sentries, terran zealot than stalkers, protoss zealots and stalkers? Just for the first few units that is, I think zealots do well against stalkers don't they?
I would totally love to see more female players in SC2 - especially high-profile pro players. It is a bit of a sausage fest right now and I don't see any reason it needs to stay that way.
Of course, that's great philosophy - but, as it is, get her Vari! Show her how this game is played! :twisted:

I think next year I'm going to have to go.
Bnet is down for us. Day9 is reportedly right below my feet.

Whoa, Vari. Are you here? I'm upstairs in the PC Area right now awating the tourney. We need to meet up. Goddamn.
I am upstairs awaiting the start of a tournament!!!
I can't leave!
I dislike Backwater Gulch.

Except for when they beeline straight for Stargate tech, in which case I often just die.
alas I only saw day9, incontrol, jp, and djwheat. and sirscoots.
also it looks like we might actually be playing
good luck everyone! have fun
but I'm playing a girl in the first round and if I lose I'm quitting
No, no. You'll root for her as she progresses. I'd be ecstatic if a girl won the tourney. And to do that she needs to beat up a lot of guys in SC2.
that is what I'd actually do, yeah
Fuck her up Vari~
but I was standing!
...except I forgot to stand. but I found jameskeenan, it worked out
I want you to lose for being sexist.

Now that I am employed I can't watch GSL as much and it makes me cry.
Mm hmm.

nope.

6 pool, banshee rush, DT rush (?!), 4 gate, proxy 2 rax. Take your pick.

The tourney didn't happen anyways, right? I was spectating for like 30 mins and people started leaving.
Anyway, yeah let's meet up tomorrow for sotg and day9 hug-tackles.
I talked to Husky a bit today about NASL.
Witty signature comment goes here...
