Undocumented (I think) change to Tal'Darim on latest patch

Top is what it now is. Bottom is what it was previously.

Frozenzen

Woah, that is a pretty big change.

They really don't like blink.

Dhalphir

You can blink the gap, apparently.

OremLK

It seems like a change intended to stop people abusing drops down there. That's excellent.

Dhalphir

also gives reapers one less avenue into your base.

Frozenzen

Right, not sure I like the change though. Not like reapers are part of the problem with terran really :P.

Dhalphir

i dunno now 1 stalker keeps them out

Those bearly qualify as wins.

I'm not letting petty stinginess ruin my glory moment.

Ed: Ahaha that sheth/idra bumpercar baneling play!

That EG house is amazing. I had no idea there was that much money in SC2.

I wouldn't say there is. But EG is a really successful company with a lot of cash to throw around.

Sceptre

man, that house is amazing.

But to be honest, the housing market in arizona is ridiculous. That house probably didn't even cost them that much.

I don't think there is for the houses (yet) I think there is a lot of personal investment going on based on anticipated future revenue, but I could be wrong. Even before this 'tour', it was pretty easy to see on SoTG that EG had a damn nice house. I would love to come crash them sometime, since I live in Phoenix.

edit - Sceptre: yeah, pretending that house was a 1.5MM home, it could easily be ~$600-700k right now...

It's a real shame that Tyler lost his robo there. Probably would have held the 1/1/1 otherwise.

815165

holy fuck

check out the first map of tyler vs major when the vods are up

major does the 1/1/1 marine/tank/medivac push
tyler gets 2 immortals and a warp prism and drops the immortals on the tanks to hold

Dhalphir

there is really no need to drop immortals on tanks anymore

their range is more than enough to get them close enough

815165

This game was pre patch, I think, The prism was 100/40.

PantsB

Real estate in Arizona is different than NYC or Seoul too

Oh. Well then yeah thats a cool idea. It can be tricky to get the immortals past the marines, a prism helps you come in from a different angle.

OremLK

It was pretty inexcusable for Tyler to not keep tabs on the army there when he had three phoenixes out

815165

Kinda got what he deserved for playing absolutely blind.

mEEksa

I love how the only time this thread doesn't blame the Protoss race itself for a loss is when Tyler is playing (that is slightly hyperbolic).

OremLK

That's because Tyler is pretty bad for a pro

815165

He's pretty bad for a North American pro.

JAEF

Yeah Tyler made some bad decisions with some bad control to lose those games.

JAEF

Also Protoss is broken as fuck I demand Blizzard refund me money equivalent to what I could have earned per hour for every Protoss loss I've had to watch.

Edit: On a side note, since two terrans decided to quit 10 seconds into a match yesterday and I went 6-3 I went up against a real master's terran this morning. I got shit on, but clawing my way back into those fights. Now I just have to beat them =\

815165

That game was horrible.

Dhalphir

Protoss vs Protoss is shaping up to potentially be a very exciting matchup. 4gate isn't just mostly dead. It is entirely and thoroughly dead. As long as you still have a a single forcefield left, your ramp is impregnable. They can't warp over it, they can't get vision to warp in.

4gate with a warp prism might be a little more dangerous but that should be scoutable. I hope.

InControl's room is bigger than all of the Korean team houses together.

Anna: "Go figure!"

Oh, Oregon. Never change. And keep my windshield clean when I happen to visit your fine gas stations.

mysticjuicer

And that's why observers.

OremLK

Holy shit Destiny annihilated that. Apparently Zerg can hold a Protoss 2base all-in without losing any units other than like 5 lings.

The second game was worse somehow.

I love PvP now, I'd swap to toss full time if PvT wasn't so much less fun than ZvT.

Wuh? Wuh? What are you watching? Is Destiny in some sort of tournament?

Slush vs Kiwi is on now, last series of the day.

Plus it would cost an extra 400/100, and delay it a lot.

I haven't been able to play for ~2 weeks, but is it possible to expand safely yet?

815165

God damn it, toss players stop playing ridiculously badly.

OremLK

Kiwikaki wtf.

What the fuck, Slush.

How have you lost to that.

mysticjuicer

*lol* Kiwikaki's build was explicitly put together in order to bait Slush into buying everysingleupgradeandbuilding. So terrible...
