    they should rename 'ladder' to 'escalator that occasionally an insane janitor hits the reverse direction button on and there is nothing you can do'

    rahhhh, a place near me is having an sc2 tourney today but I didn't see the thread until just now and I have work until right when it starts.

    it's a place I've been to too, they have consoles set up and a decent Mortal Kombat community so I've gone to watch games before... had no idea they adopted starcraft for this type of thing. Great news even if I can't make it today.

    So you terrans. this CC first build with its multitudinous options for killing me. is there like a list of sorts for when these attacks hit and what they look like, or am I just going to have to keep playing zvt's that look like DRONES DIE TO PUSH THAT I HAD NO IDEA WAS COMING. for the record my map presence could always be better. Oh and are there any gas timings that would reveal the two port banshee that shows up and kills all my queens. I HAD 8 queen! 8!

    I can't tell you the timings but the thing to look for would be the second starport (and this isn't me being sarcastic)

    afaik 2port banshee and 1port standard hellion/banshee will look the same based on gas count so you need to scout the base. he should, though, have a low enough number of marines that this is possible.

    Just one of those things, if you can't confirm that it's not 2 port, you need 2 spores and at least 4 queens.

    Keep your lings dancing around their ramp always, you can spine reactively on most maps if you catch him moving out.

    If you had replays it would be a bit easier to see what you're talking about.

    After the tournament, I talked with the psychologist, Dr. Han, about gaming addiction in Korea. I described MarineKing's training habits, and his personal story. He said the number of hours and the intensity with which he approaches "StarCraft II" borders on addiction.

    But there's one difference, he said. Pro gamers usually aren't addicts.

    Addicts can't succeed on a higher competitive level, he said. The game takes complete control.

    Pros, however, find a magical balance. They're obsessed with the game, maybe, but their playing of it isn't depressive, meandering and hopeless. They're chasing after a goal.

    Makes sense. You wouldn't call a professional poker player addicted to gambling. If they were, they wouldn't be very good at poker.

    Still, gambling and games are more conducive to promoting addictive behaviors than something like origami.

    I'm now imagining a shady looking guy standing in a car park with various colours of paper under his trench coat.

    First sheet is always on him.

    Playing a game a lot, while important, is only half the equation. You can spell Pro Gamer without Pro. Professional. And to be a Professional means having the discipline and passion to do the parts of being a pro that suck. Those are the things the addict won't commit to.

    He may stand a chance if he does nothing but two base all-ins.

    I messaged him on bnet to say thanks. I'm gonna go out there one weekend soon, haven't been in a while, and talk to whoever's working about how awesome they are for integrating starcraft.

    The TSL 4 intro is kind of cool but it strikes me as very weird that the terran marine holds a piece of wood with a nail in it.

    Cutting edge HotS weaponry, I guess.

    In the interest of fairness they wanted the Terran unit to be on par with the Zerg and Protoss units, so they had to replace the gauss rifle with a piece of wood.

    When you gotta go, you gotta go.

    Bischu made multiple horrible mistakes though.
    Why would you leave stalkers out.
    Why would you send probes to your nat when it's obvious an attack is coming.

    He needed to invest that money into an army to hold the imminent attack.

    More like Taeja doesn't want to waste valuable practicing time on someone half his skill level.

    Taeja's lowest win rate is higher than Bischu's highest.

    Also, yeah Taeja got super greedy there and threw the game away.
    2nd orbital done, going starport(?!), and only one bunker after seeing the gateway count.

    I'm not sure what Taeja was thinking there. He scouted all five gateways and only had one bunker. Baffling decision.

    I guess Taeja is being nice and he doesn't want to just outright sweep the guy...
    COBRA KAI

    EDIT: If Taeja does not advance it will be a fucking travesty. But that's TSL for you.
