Yes, and when Destiny was dominating Bomber and Ace with mass infestors, nobody else bothered. It was an embarrassingly long time before anyone decided that infestors were good. I remember watching tournaments during those times just yelling at the screen. "BUILD INFESTORS, YOU FUCKING IMBECILE."
You didn't really yell at the screen...did you?
No I did not. But I thought it hard at the screen. Maybe made a face. Big name or not, Destiny realized that infestors were the future LOOOONG before any other pro gamer did. It was frustrating watching players do the same old shit and struggling when building infestors was clearly the correct choice.
Clearly Destiny was a genius. Too bad he couldn't handle being unrecognized in such a cruel world and took his own life. Or left Starcraft 2 to play LOL. I can't remember which.
I have a hard time listening to praise about Destiny. The guy was pretty despicable. I still think claims that he realized the potential of the infestors before the pros did are overblown. But whatever.
Back when Destiny was heavily using Infestors Fungal was primarily a rooting spell, rooting several times longer than it does now. Same damage over spell duration, so they died much slower. I sorta liked how chokes were blocked with rooted enemy units.

Mineral boosting seems dumb
If idra doesn't do it I'm outtie man
Mutas are the worst gimmick unit. I don't think destiny was any good, but I do think if he stuck around with a serious attitude he'd have been ok. LoL is a dumb game.
If you're zerg being "aggressive" is a pretty good gimmick

I played TaeJa on HotS tonight.
Got crushed, but it wasn't as onesided as I thought. I almost broke him with an all-in zealot archon attack after a drop halved my main base probe count, but he had 2-2 to my 2-1, plenty of medivacs and I had nothing to kill the medivacs with.

Clearly, this is a sign for you to drop evertything and become australias premier pro!
MC isn't very good anymore, sorry. His only success these days comes from beating foreigners in small tournaments. And it's weird that you mention his PvZ, which I think is his worst match-up recently. Hell, Stephano beat him with roach hydra a couple of weeks ago.
Protoss don't beat zergs. Zergs do stupid things and throw games.
Anytime a protoss doesn't immortal/sentry they're holding their hands out to the zerg and they're holding a platter. And on the platter is the game. And they're saying "Here. I don't want this."
This is the most stacked csl we've had... Jeez, even first round losers is hard.
Can someone tell me about observers and 2 base sentry/immortal? Is there always one? Sometimes one? ???
Also, stephano's zvt roach hydra was only at HSC, right?
every time simon pulled it out on me, there was always an observer. the best (and only) way I beat him with it was to rush a lair, burrow, burrow move (not roach speed), and snipe the observer with a queen.
and then the next game he'd murder me with phoenix play, so....
Newkirk City
Akilon Wastes
Star City or Howling Peaks
Daybreak LE
Cloud Kingdom LE
The other maps are trash and shouldn't be up for consideration. Order doesn't matter too much. I personally prefer Howling Peaks, but I figure people have more of a problem with Howling Peaks than Star City.
(Alternatively, if there's other maps people want to play on that aren't in the beta yet, I can see about getting them published. However that'll require that they are publicly available which is likely not the case for most of the GSL maps we'd want.)

I don't really like watching dragon's stream... don't mind the trolling stuff but I'd rather see him try to play quality games. Obviously just different tastes but ANYWAY I am watching right now because he's actually playing terran
he ran a bunch of marines into an enemy base and started yelling 'artosis' while targeting down a pylon.

Probably. At best I'll be arriving in my house a few hours before start time after 3 weeks of no games. =(
for zerg it has to be them or mutas, there's no other interesting units
HuK sucks and Grubby has a group of death.
Interesting

We've just gotta Believe!
Also if anyone is around I could use some feedback on my stream.

You must believe in MC.

Or I can just "tab over" from WoL or something? Like upgrading chrono boost?
Upon having this answered, I foresee complete victory in this tournament.

MMMig, so BM, he can't be bothered spelling properly.
I'm gettin' nerd chills Tasteless.
what?! no way. MC is still one of the best protoss. Did very well at HSC, and is doing well at IEM right now. Only protoss I ever see who beats zergs.

you should see what he posts about you here when you're not looking

Shame I have yet to play a single game of HotS!

In the version of the all in that hits fastest, there is no observer. You get 2 immortals and then the warp prism.

Joe's Stream.
hell yeah, thanks for the news I didn't see this.
he can handle it.
I have faith in grubby, even if he fails at least he's in code A. huk not so much, I don't expect him to win a map. literally.

1. All those listed in the brackets are part of the tournament.
2. All of their mothers are classy ladies.
One of those two sentences is a lie.
