Anyway, apparently HQ stream is working, pity ESL doesn't want money, I cba to spend 20-30 min finagling their website until it lets me pay them money again.
Tarson did an early expand and bunkered up, MC 4 gated and won.

Wait are you serious? So they're showing stuff on HD but not on the normal whaaaat
I was just about to laugh a bit about people in the TL thread going "ITS A CONPIRACY YOU HAVE TO BUY HD TO SEE THE REST THIS IS TERRIBLE WAGH WAGH WAGH".
The reasonable explanation is they got technical issues with the LQ stream that hit at a bad time. The HD stream is separate, so is not having the same issues.

i wouldnt call bunkering idra cheese if he still can't beat it
was it standard two rax bunker pressure? if so that's pretty sad
edit - nani's pvp was so slick yesterday I want to say he's my favorite to win, but it's such a crazy matchup and huk and mc are obviously both brilliant players
It's funny how people complain about zerg scouting
What about protoss scouting? Your options are either observers or hallucination. Hallucination requires 150 min 150 gas, which is expensive as fuck, and 80 seconds, plus you have to wait until after you get warpgates, and you have to use a bunch of energy on a sentry. Or, you have to make a robo.
At least zerg has the option of sacking an overlord earlier on.
Yes, you can sac an overlord to see if he has two geysers up, maybe
Slow overlords are slow
Zerg scouting's issue is more that it's impossible to deny the enemy scout until you have ling speed or roaches. And also that OL Speed is stupid overcosted.

I have the same reaction to people who lose to my 4gates.
I don't do them often, but usually whenever I feel I am unable to do something to punish something they've done, such as scouting a hatch first on the last position on Typhon Peaks, and having already laid my gas, second pylon, and cybercore and thus unable to use any of the three viable options for punishing hatch first (cannons, 2gate zealot, or 2 quick stalkers), I generally just do the best 2gas 4gate I can. Usually, I win, due to having 4-5 sentries with the push.
Most times, I'll get some form of BM about ez-mode 4gate. And I just think to myself...SC2 has been out in release since nearly a year ago. For nearly half a year beyond that it was in beta. Protoss have been doing 4gates nearly since the beginning of the beta, and you still can't beat it reliably? Who does that say more about?

people seem to think anything that can really punish very greedy builds is cheese.
I've been bm'd when doing the 2 rax expand against toss who 1 gate expo... people think it's an all in when it isn't even close. but even if it was, if I chose to do it after scouting an FE, it's not exactly unwise.
edit - are there going to be any games here or what? I'm just watching dudes hang out
I think whats even funnier is a Diamond player telling a (what he thinks is a) Gold player to leave an argument for being bad.
Diamond isn't always that much better than Gold yo.
There is a WIIIIDE range of skill in Diamond. My offrace Terran account is in Diamond. And I suck at Terran. And Keamien, Enigma, Bulwark and Vari are all in Diamond. They are pretty fucking good and take games off me regularly.
Not to mention that pulling the league card like that is dumb to extremes regardless of what your actual point is.
I'm sorry, did you say something Dhal?
Oh goodness you're in masters, why am I talking to you. How you are so bad?
ROFL.
So, Gents, when should we set the date for this manly fisticuffs via sc2? Bo5? Bo7? we'll have to find some casters...

Oh oh! I can cast. I have heard my casting is non objectionable.

Because it costs a ridiculous amount of money, and usually doesn't really do much damage.
Like this time.
That seems pretty smart when you're just doing 4 DTs.

iNkA does it frequently...sends in a warp prism loaded with DTs, then warps in 4 more DTs into a zerg base to snipe their lair or hive

Joe's Stream.
I wish jinro didn't suck now
I can't tell if it is staged.
Oh oh! I can cast. I have heard my casting is non objectionable.
That was a pretty intense double fourgate.
Huk v MC, bo5, Huk's at 2-0.
Thanks! Even though I don't really play this that much it's still always fun to watch top level play.
Same here!
his favourite animals are tigers and eagles
And seeing as how Nani vs HuK was 3-2 last time this could go either way.
