    I decided to take a break for a single ladder game and I ran up against the classic 8-minute triple siege tank / hellion / mass auto-repair push (?).

    Someone in the Justin.tv chat made that exact quote yesterday and for all of 30 seconds I searched for the template to make that exact macro. High 5!

    Code A spoilers
    I did a Code A viewing party thing with some friends and... wow, fuck Oz. Everybody's freaking out about the best FFs we've ever seen and he manages to throw every game in a completely underwhelming fashion. Here's how he lost:
    Scouting probe gets sniped, goes 15 Nexus with 1 cannon and 1 gate and no attempt to check for a roach all-in
    Takes a far hidden third (that wasn't hidden) and can't keep up with the mutas. Scouts Spire and goes Stargate to make a grand total of 5 phonixes (10 minutes later)
    Separates his 10 full energy sentries from the rest of his army when there are burrowed roaches on the field
    Proxy 2 gates on the best protoss map in the history of the GSL

    He didn't show up to play, he showed up to whine on stage. I can't wait to watch him drown in the up/downs
    Yeah, the Code A finals were pretty awful. Not even an hour worth of play, Oz just got stomped all over. In some fairness, his own opponent went completely undefeated through Code A, I guess.
    Just outclassed completely.

    I've met Vari on two different occasions and I still think of him as Tobias. Also as Vari and not John.

    Man.... I need to watch IPL VODs again.... the way Lucky played, was just so awesome.
    Burrow was used to levels beyond burrow.

    And Stephano's play was somehow majestic. It doesn't seem so at first but then you realize his game sense is that of the gods.

    The Slayers guys are probably wondering what went wrong still.

    In terms of actual tournament finals wins, aren't Zerg the winningest race?

  • MMMigMMMig Registered User regular
    Hmmmm... not sure.
    I know MLG this year has been terran mostly.
    Last year was some protoss some terran.

    GSL, from what I gather, has been some Protoss last year (MC), some Zerg (Nestea), but mostly terran (16 times)?

    @MMMig Vari totally put us to shame. Next MLG we need to somehow get staff passes and wander around backstage.

    Awesome pictures Vari! I'm glad it was such a blast.

    I do believe Terran is the winningest race. I'm sure these numbers exist somewhere, but I have no idea where to find them.

    New Zerg unit has been kinda revealed.

    gVxAU.jpg

    Kinda looks like a Roach morphs into a siege unit?

    edit: though, that's a Hydra's head? Maybe they morph to this and not the roach. Maybe a Roach and Hydra merge like an archon?

    edit: a roach and hydra that morph together like an archon and shoot banelings like a siege tank!

    it's a lurker

    it looks nothing like one, buuuuut

    i just really want lurkers damn it

  • Free Giraffe Rides!!!Free Giraffe Rides!!! Registered User regular
    That looks really cool. I hope it gives Zerg some kind of super cost-efficient option like the other races have in the Colossus and Siege Tank, and like Zerg used to have with the Lurker.

    It's absurd really to go 4-0 in ZvZ, especially in the finals of a huge tournament. ZvZ is such an insanely touchy matchup.

    It definitely looks like a siege-type unit.

    That shell on its back has some form of spout.

    It makes me think of a Tyranid Biovore, if anyone plays or played WH40K. Big siege beast that has a cannon built into its back that fires explosive spores.

  • InvictusInvictus Registered User regular
    Well, the Tyranids and the Zerg are all bound up together anyway; a Zerg biovore shouldn't be too big of a surprise.

    A big slow zerg unit?

    I'm ok with that.

  • HozHoz Cool Cat Registered User regular
    It looks like a ranged ground unit, and it seems like that's one of the things Zerg were asking for, right?

    I would consider going, but it's late, and I'm buried in work at the moment. >_<

    The main request was a unit that controls space like a colossus or siege tank, so this could definitely be what we're after.

  • MMMigMMMig Registered User regular
    Well, it'll prob. get hard-countered by the new hellion-humanoid terran unit anyways.

    It's a hellion that does bonus damage to armored :D

    i wonder, if it's a siege unit of some sort, whether it'll be lair or hive

    i suspect hive, mainly just because if it's an armoured siege unit marauders will counter it, and terran t1 = zerg t3

    or maybe it's a giga-lurker

    megalurker

    turbolurker

    i dunno

    It needs to be lair, otherwise it's stepping on brolords toes too much.

    As long as it requires Hive, it's good for release 9jzqk7.jpg
