    I am really glad I traded Speed off my anti-team before this match.

    Oh...Cure is Speed? I feel bad now...

    Using speed banes on hydras should be a crime...

    Nathanias is a step up from the in-house Proleague casters but when he casts ZvP it's very apparent that he plays terran.

    I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

    I watched the first 3 videos in FilterSC's "bronze to masters" series on YouTube and I've improved so much. I usually play toss but changed over to Terran to give the videos a shot and I've won 7 of the 10 games I've played today.

    Do you think it'd be worth looking at the zerg ones? I know they're meant for lower leaguers, but I play at about a platinum level

    If nothing else it would be good for reviewing basic metrics in your mechanics.

    yeah, the videos are done as terran where the first 3 videos you only work on building scv's, 1 natural and then only marines. though i did see a few zerg videos there under another sort of series by filter - you should have a look at those.

    Hey thanks. I'll take some time to review and see if I'm hitting these bench marks. I can usually hit about 60 drones ok, but as my games with @dhalphir revealed the other night, I often have trouble getting above that.

    @dhalphir I just had a series of annoying games. I thought about how best to say it and I think it's that I don't have a real plan. I could work at that I'd just rather use my sc time on plans I know so the focus is more on mechanics and execution.

    god damn the amount of cheese and 1 base all-ins really ramps up in gold league

    poorly executed 4 gates, reaper attacks and 1/1/1s are giving me a headache

    any tips for dealing with reaper harass when i open 1 rax FE?

    http://drop.sc/294518

    i see the reapers coming and prepare for it by positioning my marines on the cliff where i except him to enter my base

    but the reapers just zoom by, I panick, and 6 reapers kill like 20 SCVs. i clearly had enough units to kill them but i just fell apart and panicked

    i am still really inexperienced with terran so any tips will help. do i build bunkers near mineral lines or what?

    and don't bother with the last 25 mins of the replay

    I know zvz and all but it's scarlett vs nestea and it's 1-1

    I don't think I could imagine a zvz I'm more interested in watching. maybe like leenock vs. life. but that would only be from a game standpoint, doesn't have the inherent foreigner drama

    it really is the best thing ever

    i lost like 8 in a row until i got the hang of it and then started crushing bronzers with a-moving 0-0 marines

    i'm up to the gold league benchmarks now and it's starting to look like a legit build with 100 food MMM, stim and +1 atk around 10 mins

    who needs upgrades? real men build 14 barracks and send an endless line of vanilla marines marching across the battlefield

    no reactors?

  • GalyGaly Registered User regular
    no reactors

    the bronze-level portion of filtersc's bronze to master series is completely gasless

    nothing but SCV and marine production off 2 bases

    it's a great way to learn macro fundamentals and hilariously effective in the bronze league

    I think I met someone like that on hots beta, just kept making marines and macroing.

    Once I realised what he as doing I added some zealots to carrier and won anyway :P.

  • theSquidtheSquid Sydney, AustraliaRegistered User regular
    I wonder what a protoss equivalent would be

    I mean I guess you could just do the same but with zealots???

    Nexus timing would be a bit later too

  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    I wish Stephano would focus on shoring up his weakness in ZvZ. He would be a monster if he did. Instead of his lackadaiscal practice routine, he needs to grab a few good practice partners and just drill ZvZ for a week.

  • immortal squishimmortal squish Registered User regular
    I take it that Stephano didn't fair well against the great DRG?

    <3
  • mEEksamEEksa Registered User regular
    He got 3-0'd fairly convincingly.

  • FrozenzenFrozenzen Registered User regular
    Not sure stephano can actually adhere to a strict practice schedule. In some ways his genius is his weakness.
