    Haha okay, so maybe it's a LITTLE exploitable as written, but the general idea still stands =)
    I seriously think it's a great idea, it really bugs me to see so much of the same old thing on the ladder. Also, the hell is up with my sig? I worked hard for that banshee portrait!
    EDIT: WORST TOTP. Quick, must find awesome quote to insert!

    i was so impressed with his wcg run that i can cut him some slack in terms of results

    in a lot of recent tournament he seems to come up against kas or stephano who are pretty much the two best players in eu right now so

    so how good are these guys (bling and demuslim) compared to the top pros in the world? (who I assume are korean)

  • TannerMSTannerMS "I'm confidence cause I'm zerg!" Registered User regular
    They could take a game of anyone and beat most people, both are really really good

    demuslim is a pretty good terran who has shown the potential to become even better but keeps breaking his arms/getting ill/disappearing for a month so he rarely manages to actually hunker down and practice

    bling has only recently gotten into the top tier of foreigners, he went on a really good run at WCG, crushing his group stage and even taking a game off mvp, and since then has done pretty well in a lot of tournaments, and also is super handsome and cool

    they could definitely hold their own against a lot of the koreans, but the top code s players would probably just roll them

    I dunno...Bling's PvT is roughly as good as it gets. He took a game off MVP, as you say.

    thanks for the info guys :^:

    man what a nasty anti timing 3 immortal push.

    Top 8 EU Platinum off 26 wins!

    Check out who I bumped from the Top 8:

    Also, PvP where the opponent went mass Phoenix. If the counter to Phoenixes is hatcheries and drones, then I guess Nexi and Probes work too. Also displays the best blink micro I have ever done in my life (during the push on his base). Relatively proud of the replay.

    Also, thank you to whoever posted that WP 4-gate build. I haven't looked at the exact list, but my own variation is so far undefeated in about 10 games (including Biosys, Kambing while he was testing the stream, and every Zerg who has the nerve to cross me on the ladder).

    Biggest problems are supply blocks. Holy crap you build a lot of units on 1 base. Pylons have to go down early and often.

    Best feeling is killing overlords. And drones behind mineral lines. And swooping back into the prism as soon as lings feebly start to threaten hull damage. But mostly killing overlords.

    In the last 10 minutes of that game, there was always a warp prism behind the terran army dropping templar for storms. Every single engagement was a surround.

    That was some of the best PvT I've ever seen.

    it will be nice when all top level toss actually start doing this

    it's been in the game forever and people started doing it ages ago but there's so many games where you don't see it at all.

    it is probably easier to complain about emp, in fairness.

    Do Pro Toss players even storm drop mineral lines anymore/at all?

    I don't watch much in the way of tourney's the last 6 months but it's something I don't think I've ever seen in a SC2 game.

    I have a conundrum - zerg or terran

    i mean. terran was my bw race. terran is the bro race. but i want to get good at zerg. winning a game with a ling runby owns. zerg owns.

    when i first got my sc2 beta key i was convinced that i could go in virgin and beat lemming. he cock slapped me with a marauder push or something. it sucked. anyone read anything about performance psychology? i was all, yeah its gunna be exactly the same as BW im in the zone and lemming sucks at BW thisll be easy. but no its not BW >:(

    im gunna ladder as zerg i think.
    as long as you don't pick protoss

    we are lowest on terran though I believe. not that that really means anything but it is true

    I love terrans on the eu ladder, they are like a hunting an endangered species.
    My winrate is very good in pvt as well, too bad I just meet zergs and loose.

    Why are they trying to pass this off as skill?

    All he did was put down some FFs and click on some bunkers.

    Man, what the hell. Demuslim scanned and saw the all-in coming and then put SCVs back on mining and didn't have his SCVs on auto repair. That was so dumb. Well played by Bling though, great series.

    5 gates off of one base.

  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    It was a 4 or 5 gate off one base. Demu got three bunkers up but then got overconfident I guess.

  • TrunkersTrunkers Registered User regular
    5 gate after his expo was blocked by an eBay.

    Also, deMuslim attacked his own bunker with SCVs.

    5 gate sentry zealot

    A scan is about the same cost as 2 bunkers, so I kind of think Demu went too many directions at once. Also you want them in a concave at the top of the ramp, probably with four bunkers. Having the bunkers in a flat line exposes them to being forcefielded off much easier.

    He just fucked up micro with the autorepair. I don't think it would have made a difference, Bling had enough FFs for all three bunkers.

  • VariableVariable Mouth Congress Stroke Me Lady FameRegistered User regular
    yeah ffs block repair anyway

    BNet-Vari#1998 | Switch-SW 6960 6688 8388 | Steam | Twitch
  • redraptorredraptor Registered User regular
    Also why you should transfer scvs to your natural rather than just rally there as a Terran. He had to pull SCVs too early then immediately went to the bunker line when he could have waited a little longer and afforded another bunker.

  • HozHoz Cool Cat Registered User regular
    edited January 2012
    No, you have to have SCVs on your bunkers the second the attack hits. Because the only repair they will get done is in the first few seconds.

    And a fourth bunker would have come too late and thus made no difference.

    Edit: The best thing he could have done was sim city so supply depots are in front of bunkers from the very start. Belshir has a ramp at nat so he can't harass supply depots with stalkers without vision.
