[Starcraft 2] East coast: Heart of the storm

Joe K

so, any word on bnet beta servers being online, soonish?

Variable

just what I'm hoping for when I'm 1-5 and just want to play some more

battle net can't make the game!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was really hoping to lose to another random, or in another battle where I land every emp but still get decimated. too bad!

Impyrocker

How do widow mines affect late game TvZ? Can they be used at all versus broodlords? Maybe dropped out of medivacs in front of them?

Implausible?

Did Jaziek get ahold of Vari's account? What's goin on here?

mEEksa

Vari has always been like that. He's an emotional player. High highs and low lows.

Variable

yeah pretty much

Cantido

I'm thinking of picking this up again. A variety of things consumed me for a while. Persona...Borderlands 2...Active Duty...

Variable

im yoda got through so directly because of rain it kind of bums me out. should be another p in the ro16 than there is, and one less T.

I was really impressed by Polt this week.

Watching day9 play Amnesia expansion, even if he's acting it up a bit it's still very funny.

WHAT? You mean you don't use retinal computers like Illusive Man?

You know he's totally 2 Raxing while smoking that cigar.

Kambing

P.s., I started Wangs in Space on the beta. Message Kambing.239 for an invite.

Kambing

Variable

race and map win rate under ladder. love it. I know that was announced but I had forgotten.

great updates from blizz.

Cantido

Technically I'm still in Bronze, but I have a big-boy salary now. I don't know if I can be in RitB.

Kambing

Stream back live with hots:

Dhalphir

this new UI FUCKING OWNS

Variable

so how do I stop blink stalker all in again?

I can only deal with losing so many games where I scout what's coming and fail. really annoying.

Dhalphir

bunkers, and make sure to protect your stim tech lab and also your tech labs in general. Your stim tech lab is my number one target. After that comes the tech labs on everything else. Unstimmed marines have absolutely no chance of beating a blink stalker allin no matter how many bunkers you make, so you need to just delay as long as possible to let stim finish and get 3-4 marauders. Also make sure you keep slowing working your way to medivacs.

Variable

thanks. my biggest issue is lasting long enough with my army split. or not getting caught out of position

Dhalphir

Oh you definitely want to retreat into your main if you get enough warning.

Dhalphir

or at least, that's what always fucked me over when I tried that build a lot on ladder - terran retreats into main, adds a third orbital, races for medivacs and stim, and I can't expand to my natural + tech + build an army at the same time.

Dhalphir

omg just won my first HotS beta match and whats this, statistics for performance? epeen!?!?!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yilias

What are the formulae for supply and combat efficiency?

Kambing

Yea the average APM stat is a little weird. Says I have 340 average APM when my in-game average from replays is 200.

LOL

double stargate by me in PvP.

opponent opens early robo, puts only one cannon in his mineral lines. 8 phoenix wreck his probes.

game develops into what I felt was quite a good back and forth pvp, me going skytoss and him going zealot archon colossus stalker

at the end, out of fucking nowhere

"guess in new games i can lose to trash like you"
WHOA WHOA WHOA

so I had to review this game

turns out he made his robo at 5:14, and somehow didn't scout the double stargate until 9minutes, because he didnt send an obs to my base at all. the double stargates went down at 8minutes.

Dhalphir

also pvp skytoss is so fucking fun.

voidray/carrier/tempest owns.

Yilias

Watching Catz' stream always makes my head hurt. 4 drone harass into 7RR into 2 base burrowed infestors is just O.o
