    This makes me so happy to see.

    Normally I'd frown on something like this but Blizzard doesn't give a fuck about stream cheaters, so fuck them.

    Honestly....even if he was just stream cheating (and everyone knew it), I'd still frown on it. That's part of the risk of streaming. It's the blatant harassment that I feel makes him deserve this.

    Yeah but Idra and Stephano will take each other out in the semis if so

    so then boom, makes it harder for foreigners to win!

    So I just tuned in to CP interviewing some EG'er who says "Boxer is playing on the main stage right now" and I wonder why I'm not seeing that game instead?

    Because this is a recorded interview from IPL2.

    So, was Gordon H. even in this tournament, and if so, when did he get eliminated?

    He managed to win a round, but ended up losing to Kawaii rice pretty early on.

    The ad thing with painuser/hd/other dude coaching gordon hayward in sc2 and them him schooling them at basket was kinda hilarious.

    he was in the open bracket, got eliminated by KawaiiRice in the second round of winners, then got knocked out by some other dude straight afterwards in losers.

    edit: hd suddenly appearing with massive shades on is the best part of that advert

    Oh good, MMA/Puma.

    Let's get this out of the way early.

    I am so sick of watching basetrades. They are not interesting.

    wra!

    sorry mmmig but it's the only fitting thing to say. wra! I don't think I'm going down today. I'm not certain I can buy a ticket right outside the door and a 2 hour ride is not a ride I'm taking without being positive.

    also casual eddy and his brother had to leave early :(

    but I'm trying to make a call, we'll see.

    Dude! have fun, try and get a PA shout out on screen or something.

    Also pictures.

    Wow, MMA just embarrassed Puma in both games. I didn't expect that to be so lopsided.

  • LilnoobsLilnoobs Alpha Queue Registered User regular
    Well, it was a korean terran vs a foreigner. Kinda expected.

    =p

    What? They're both Korean. Puma went back to Korea like, weeks ago.

    3clipse: I have no sense of humor.

  • FrozenzenFrozenzen Registered User regular
    MMA is genuinely good while puma just kills protoss though.

    Big difference.

    hatch first is entirely fine against 1base play. You are just doing it badly. I used to exclusively 1base all-in against Zergs who would hatch first, just gambling on their inability to defend. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would not work, they would defend well.

    Losing to a 1base all-in is independent of whether you go hatch first or not, it is all down to simply how you defend.

    i come off overly harsh in this post, i apologise

    but hatch first is totally viable at all levels of play, you just have to get used to doing it and know what you need to be afraid of.

    the thing about speedling expand - while it is a very safe opening against a lot of things - it is very inefficient if you intend to make any other t1 unit except speedlings. You've spent this gas on ling speed, and delayed your expansion to get it - to then immediately go roaches is very wasteful. A hatch first, however, is flexible. you can add gas immediatelyt after the hatch and go for fast ling speed, or you can add a slower gas and go for roaches. So many zerg players I see go speedling expand, and only ever make 6-8 speedlings and then go right into something like roaches and its like - why did you spend that 100 gas on something you weren't going to use?

    I don't really agree with this. I think speedling expand works very well with roaches. You have the extractor ready so if at any point you need roaches you can just put your drones back in. Speedlings work well with roaches and it puts you in a good position to defend any all-in coming your way. What I like to do is put down my roach warren after my expansion finishes and put my drones back in gas at the same time. Doing that will allow me to get roaches out in time to defend a 4gate.

    I switched back to P because T just made me feel dirty all over.

    Alright greggors. Let's see what you got.

  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    Now, I know Terran is ridiculously overpowered, but even so, the logic of taking a really quick third and then attacking the Zerg seems a little strange to me.

  • 3cl1ps33cl1ps3 I will build a labyrinth to house the cheese Registered User regular
    IdrA so far ahead in this game. Looking really good.

    I don't even like Idra that much for a zerg, but seeing him grab game 2 after game 1 is damn satisfying.
