    guys, the thread was on page two. I am far too used to seeing it on the top of page one.

    You should totes contact these guys and ask to do articles for them :D

    alright, slightly off topic, but still topical and a definite WTF moment for people here:

    Prosecutors said Hinton broke into an area of Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte and stole video game systems and other devices in December 2010. The stolen items were ones used by hospitalized children as they received cancer treatments.

    Among the stolen gaming systems were four PlayStations, an Xbox and Nintendo DS systems, hospital officials said in 2010.


    REALLY, ROBBING HOSPITALS FOR VIDEO GAMES?

    Damn Joe, that's pretty that's low.

    Supposedly tomorrow we're going to be getting the full reveal of the BW players coming to SC2.

    Sundance just tweeted that "He is currently in the room with the elephant".

    Man... if Jaedong doesn't come over I'll be +1 sad panda.


    Flash can stay back. His macro is ungodly and we have no need for such reckless power in a game of macro.


    Bisu can also stay back....

    Wow I'm so frustrated at this game I can scarcely believe it. I almost ragequit a game in the first 30 seconds just because I was playing. I'm like 1-11 or something ridiculous. Time to withdraw gracefully for a while I guess.

    EDIT: Hell maybe it's time to switch races for a little while

    I swear to god, if you switch to Terran, I'm calling out this conspiracy. There's no way that half of the PA members suddenly switch to Terran, there is something sinister behind this.

    There is nothing sinister about conversion to the one true race.

    Wait, you mean to say there's still a large number of people who play BW?
    As someone who only started anything starcraft related a year ago, I do not know these things.

    There is a whole other world of Starcraft, yes.

    It is a dark, and perilous galaxy.

    It makes our Starcraft 2 scene look like taking candy from a baby.

    Fear this world, for merging the two will usher in a dark age of chaos and cheese.
    Those from the other side have been forged in the pits of PC-bangs for eons... hungering for more foreign meat to satiate their need to conquer, to destroy.

    Or at least, TL would have you believe the above.

    They are going to be very sad when half their pros come over and get absolutely shit stomped by guys like MC, MKP, Stephano etc for the first 6 months as they have to adjust to the Meta game, and the fact that 300 APM won't carry them to 90% of their wins anymore.

    yeah something tells me that the skill gap between BW pros and current SC2 pros won't be as pronounced as all the TL BW people think it will be

    I liked the comment where one of the coaches said his BW team were in masters without knowing what the units do. If that mini series with Yellow was any indication thats patently absurd.

  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    Eh, I don't have trouble believing that. Even if you have very little idea about how the units work, having a BW player's mechanics would let you get to Masters without much trouble. I don't think Yellow's lack of success is representative of that.

  • MvrckMvrck Dwarven MountainhomeRegistered User regular
    I think it's hilarious that you could play your five placement games without figuring out what units do.

  • interrobanginterrobang kawaii as  hellRegistered User regular
    well, if memory serves, that quote was from Flash's coach and was referring to how he didn't know what the new units did

    i can totally believe that Flash could macro his way to masters without too much stress, but that second part? surely the dude went to liquipedia or something and figured out what marauders and hellions and shit did

    i don't even know what maru was supposed to do better

    at one point they fought and it was 2-2 vs 1-0 what the ufck

    in the last game there was a fight where maru EMPd everything (as in, archons, zealots, and the freaking templar) and still couldn't do better than trade evenly. really awesome.

    you could get pretty far with say, blink stalker every game

    not know exactly what the ideal unit interactions were is probably what he meant. it takes about 4 seconds to know "what the units do"

    Just saw your latest mailbox.

    Very glad to hear that things are finally looking up for you personally (what is it with our country and its constant shutting out of Brits with perfectly charming accents?) From one top hat to another, I salute your perseverence. Welcome to Yankville.

    ...that didn't come out right.
