Judging by what happened with Desert Bus (they raised $380,000), I am hoping against hope that people go nuts and we raise a fuckton of money.

But, we'll see

Variable

damn that's a lot of money

redraptor

Can someone go post our website, and thread link into the State of the Game thread now? It gets very active during broadcast.

GnomeTank

Speaking of RitB, has there been any sort of official signup anywhere? I know I indicated to Joe I wanted to play, and I think he said yes? Maybe? I don't even know...

kedinik

Ah-hahah.

"So how about updates on the untold story of major?"

Brings a smile to my face every time they call Dan on his overhyping of something.

e: I would message MMMig if you wanted an official update on "Am I on the list?" or something like that. His brain is basically the nexus of any given sub-project, he knows what's going on.

I did a couple weeks ago and I think he said yes...he was very unclear, but it seemed like a yes :P I was signing up as a non-bronze (which he said he needed for the undercard, I'm silver).

Variable

if I was sure I was gonna be home I'd have signed up to play or do a chatroom, I feel bad not contributing

I guess I'll have to give money to make up for it

Dhalphir

Attero and (to a slightly lesser degree) Axslav also talk a lot ingame about what they're thinking. In Attero's case, I think he just unconsciously talks to himself while playing, where Axslav makes an effort to talk to the spectators and sometimes his play suffers for it.

Variable

gretorp used to do that

kedinik

Gretorp's in my division, that handsome man.

If I can get my MMR up by about ~150 points I think I'll be in shooting range of the man in ladder queues, gogogogogo.

i used to love tuning into gretorp's stream every half hour, just to hear him get progressively sadder

redraptor

wait a sec

OremLK

I think I threw too many games on my smurf account

I'm 20-5 since I stopped throwing them and I'm still in silver, lawls

e2: And he mineral-stacks drones in the early game, yeeeeees.

redraptor

Annnnnnnd we've hit front page of reddit, time to sleep.

OremLK

This is random, but something I've never understood is why Hive tech is unlocked based off the Infestation Pit. Wouldn't it make more sense to unlock it from having a Spire?

Variable

I'm not sure either makes sense really

OremLK

Yeah but at least the Spire upgrades you into Brooood lords which is like the most common reason to get Hive I guess

julyzerg

then bed

TannerMS

Banelings with no drops against storm >:( Julyyyyyy

EDIT: That would never have worked on HuK, Oz, or Hero

kedinik

Code A is seriously loaded with "hey this guy might win the whole thing" contenders from 2+ months ago.

Dhalphir

the reason the Hive unlocks with the Infestation Pit is because the Hive in BW unlocked with a Queen's Nest and they probably wanted to keep it similar.

Variable

asd is getting thors in tvp, thor marine and viking with a raven as well. vs. Hero

edit - seemed to go pretty well. I wonder if he'll do it again.

Dhalphir

Thors are really good enmasse like this, but I don't think they'd work this well mixed in with bio.

kedinik

Wolf still hypercritical of great play and great players, =/

Hoz

Hero kept feedbacking Thors with 0 energy.

so watch the stream that Khaldor is doing solo.

I switched the stream off just before the game ended, but neither of those players played particularly well. It's hard to imagine Genius or July being contenders in the up and downs. Force fields in G1 were downright awful :-/

kedinik

I was not watching the games closely.

When I was watching the end of g1 and most of g2, they were both doing pretty standard stuff pretty well.

Wolf is getting to you, fight it!

TannerMS

ajhsklgfklHWEFGKLwjhef but it's 3 in the morning and I have a final in 7 hours... T T

the negativity is reassuring

Fucking Hero I wanted you to win sooo bad

Did he take a BO loss or is it just because he handled his Phoenixes poorly? He lost 3 for free doing fly-bys and whiffed a few lifts. Phoenix styles look really fun, but that was discouraging
