    That happens to me if I'm cold. And it is cold now (though you live in Perth, so it's probably 50 degrees over there).

    I played a match last night against Olorin's friend where I derped for the first 10 minutes of the game (forgot to get gas, lair, ling speed, etc). I derped even harder when my overlord spotted his 30 reapers but I wasn't looking. :?

    The mass reaper assault was a wake up call, though, and I kicked into high gear and infested the world.

    Edit: Not that I'm trying to make Olorin's friend look bad by saying I wasn't playing right in the beginning of the game, because he played pretty well otherwise considering the skill gap between us.

    That was seriously the most amazing game of SC2 I've seen played yet. I am so glad I have that replay now!

    By loser you mean the runner-up that just earned $26 000 USD~? Yeah thats pretty tough

    I thought it was 20,000,000 KRW. (which is like 18,500 USD at the moment)
    Still not a small sum, but less.

    That's borderline poverty in NYC. lol

    Er, 18k a year maybe. Not 18 for one day :-p

    Well, more like 18K for a month of tourney play + training time... But still, it's notsobad.

    How often will I have to start winning to get up into Silver, like nearly every game, or just a majority?

    Also, if any EU players feel a sudden need to play some custom games with a bronze-level Zerg, add me (ID in sig).

    After seeing the first game I decided "this is going to be a one sided testicular stomping. I am going to sleep."

    I stand by my decision after reading the thread.

    Also not all GSL finals are bad, the MvP/MKP World Final was really awesome.

    I dunno, it sounds like the author hasn't interacted with a lot of sports fans. They aren't exactly all sunshine and rainbows to each other.

    The overall point is a good one, though: Don't be a dick.

    The point about other sports fans not using the 'well you're not a pro so you can't say anything or ask any questions' logic holds true, at least for the majority.

    I played in the IPL quals this morning.

    Got knocked out by a very skilled protoss player.
    Nexus cancel 5 gate and a cannon rush.
    But nah he outplayed me.

    Kas just had pretty good multitasking. And hasu messed up bigtime at start, as well as during the first attack.

    Kas also realized that if you have 20 marauders with stim and a nexus is in range, there isn't much the protoss can do about it.

    That's gotta hurt kedinik :P.

    I don't think they're analagous.

    Discussing SC tactics is not the same as "Manning threw an awesome 40 yard pass!"

    It's more like saying "Manning would be much better if he directed his offensive line into this formation"

    Which WOULD ellicit a response like, "Ummm, I'd leave it to the pros, buddy."

    Still, don't want to disagree with the crux of the piece, though.

    god i cannot listen to husky

    "he might have too many vikings! there aren't enough colossi to justify their cost!"

    there are 5 colossi comprising the majority of hasu's army

    he could probably do to have some more

    Ah, mass marauder just chilling inside storms never gets old.

    Although at this point kas is just throwing money at hasu and winning, since hasu lets him kill all his probes repeatedly :P. Hoping the final series is better than this one.

    also what is husky's fascination with the units lost tab

    at this point im nitpicking, but kas is winning pretty handily with good bio multitasking so im noticing the faults in the commentary more

    He keeps letting a million marauders just waltz into his base and kill every building everywhere before killing them.

    Drops are pretty good. Kas is pretty good. Seems like he's trying to multitask Hasu to death.

    e: I guess he fell behind committing so much to drop play while Hasu kept expanding and macroing up.

    Alright, I got SC2 about 2 weeks ago and I've played maybe all of 20 games so far. I did a few 3v3 with some friends and we got placed in Bronze (we're so bad) - I'm still doing some practice games in the 1v1. Anyhow, if someone wants to play a terrible protoss, let me know!

    You can look for games in channel PA.

    EnderWiggnz is on a fair amount, he'd likely be a good practice partner for you.

    Both Kas and Hasu are playing rather sub par.

    Certainly didn't deserve to go at it for first place.

    Hasu needs to get his head out of his ass and win this.

    Hotbid's tired of pulling it up because of how useless it is.

    First few times: "I guess I'll throw Wheat a bone here."
    Next fifty times: "Lalalalalalala I can't hear youuuuu."
