Ling/bling/muta in ZvP
Seemed actually really good. Ling/bling cleans up stalkers nicely and a big enough flock of mutas can kill colossi and reinforcing stalkers. Might give it a go in the unranked ladder. Seems like you need like 30 mutalisks though and obviously a shit ton of gas.
Yeah, it seemed interesting. The muta vs Phoenix micro seems kind of intense, though. I'll probably try it in unranked until I feel like I can win more than 50% of my games with it. Or it'll crash and burn like when I usually use mutas. Beta is fun! New things are fun!
After his win, he lost to a blink-stalker all-in off two bases. It's amazing what blink does to the survivability of stalkers.
Isn't that the exact same composition he's been using for the last three years with little to no variation? I'm not surprised he managed to win (a single game) with it. The bonus hint was you only mentioned traditional toss units.
Idra is a very whiny waste of space.
nah, in each zvp out of the 8 or so i've watched now, he's done somethign completely different. He's tried just about every unit composition under the sun, but the ones that worked best were ling/bling/muta and to a lesser extent ling/bling/ultra
he just won another with ling/bling/ultra into brood/corruptor/infestor
I've been watching one of his vods. It's like 7 hours long lol
sorry, should have clarified
I was absolutely on fire today. I played about 10 ladder games and maybe 8 or so unranked games and even some practice games
I'm pretty sure out of all of those, I only dropped 4 games today.
Win ratio is looking better this season. 22-15
Hopefully I can keep this up in the HotS gold league. I havent touched WoL in weeks, but I feel like I have improved a lot. I wonder if I could hit diamond on WoL now.
and this game too, of course
http://drop.sc/292064
You dont even know how happy/proud that game made me. Makes me feel like I've improved, even if it was somewhat flukey
hold the phone what are we watching
jaaangbehhhh
these casters sound so spergy
fuck both of those idiots
I'm going to watch until I cannot bear it, then I will switch over. I don't have the link anymore, pls provide?
is doing a voice only commentary of proleague
so i'm gonna mute the main stream and try him out
He talks like he has a ten ton tongue in his mouth, loses his train of thought repeatedly, doesn't know anything about the game and doesn't pay attention to what is happening on the screen in front of him.
B.net: Kusanku
it's a shame he's sick and keeps coughing into the mic, but he's pretty good imo
he's going to do the final game in a russian accent.
Sounds fine to me.
I laughed at his "Alright guys, manner up. I'm allowed to eat bread" when everyone in chat was giving him shit for eating bread with nothing on it.
awesome
Dhal - it seems that pro-players do cut too many corners. No roach warren so he couldnt even make panic roaches to that stupid attack. Why would you not drop a roach warren?
goddamn terran looks fun to play
Taeja is really, really good right now.
And that was, uh, one-sided
With the fresh "new" style and map pool it definitely feels good again... it's been a while since I felt like that.
So far, swarm hosts kind of suck for their cost but we'll see. ^^'
qq, etc.
Witty signature comment goes here...

Good lord the strong medivacs are insane.
I'm content playing golds / plats at the moment, as I know I'm making a ton of mistakes or miss-reading builds. So it's kind of learning to play again, which is the fun part.
Somehow they feel stronger than the golds / plats than in WoL.

the leagues are definitely skewed with better people being in lower leagues than the wol ladder. Smaller population, probably more of the die-hard sc2 fans pre-bought to get into the beta, lots of pros got hook ups, makes sense.
B.net: Kusanku
TaeJa's badass play was part of what hooked me into watching SC2 pro play a while back. I think it was during a proleague match, where some team was just manhandling Liquid. Bo5, I think it was down to 4-0, then TaeJa shows up and just starts wrecking people left and right. Wins the match 5-4, I can only imagine he turned to the rest of the team and asked them why he keeps them around.
I mean, yeah, he's not unbeatable, but I see soooo many P's and Z's, it's nice to watch a solid T in action, particularly since that's the race I generally enjoy playing the most. Not that I ever ladder, mostly just enjoy the SP campaign and then go comp stomp in 2v2 or 3v3, which can be a fun mix of cheesing and struggling vainly against all 3 of them rushing one poor soul who begs for help. Definitely learn not to get too greedy on tech knowing that in a few minutes there'll be barbarians at the gates.
reverse-all-killing IM and other korean teams, multiple times
those games were ridiculous
Taeja's reaction time, game sense, and micro were all ungodly
