[StarCraft 2] THIS THREAD IS DEAD! POST IN THE NEW ONE!
Could the man be any more of a douche nozzle? This is the opposite of his take during the CLG-EG thing, that you report all known information. Not that you report all information you think is interesting.
I think he lost all good will he had after that lo3 thing.
So, hots is a 1-2base cheesefest at the moment or what?
Not seeing much lategame plans in these games :P.
sort of. not on ladder it isn't, but what is a pro player most likely to do when given 2 weeks to prepare for pro matches? He's not going to try to learn all the intricacies of macro play. Macro play requires you to at least be aware of all possible all-ins to do it properly, and there's no chance of being able to do that in a couple weeks.
Yeah, we probably won't see any good, consistent HotS games until late summer. I'm guessing it'll go much like WoL, 1 base cheese, 2 base cheese, "timings", then maybe macro.
Gonna be some interesting times, maybe some lesser known players can be successful early on if they discover something abusive, like Morrow and reapers in that IEM he won :P.

it's a fun time
it's like the wild west
but playing wise it's fucking intimidating. on top of WoL being easy mode right now (I shot from like 30 something masters to top 8 in the last 3 nights) it's just hard to move on! I'm probably waiting til launch.
I just watched the end of one of TLO's games. He didn't seem to really understand Swarm Hosts and their range. He just kept unburrowing and moving within range of their army, and then once the locusts died he lost his Hosts too...

a zerg just did something to me I don't get why more z don't do
I scout an aggressive roach open so I have to defend so he just... doesn't make the roaches. oops! takes a third, I make 2 bunkers, and by the time I know what's up I already can't put pressure on.

better off not fucking scouting
You just scouted a warren (with gas taken) or did you see roaches? Dropping a safety roach warren is a smart idea (if not required). You can't necessarily overreact a roach/ling or roach/bane bust just from the warren alone. You should be able to sit near his front with hellions until you can confirm one way or another.
@TwitchTV, @Youtube: master-level zerg ladder/customs, commentary, and random miscellany.
So is Kime/Grubby the new power-couple? Dethroning Meeks/Stephano?

EDIT: I present to you the best SC cast ever: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/Vasa
This is everything that was great about the original Khaldor stream x10000000.
Edit: I totally missed Jibba's post. I guess this is a +1 then.
For shame

And a hatchery immediately explodes.
hots gstl gogo
I'm considering revoking my approval of this post in light of Wolf's terrible casting!
e: Going for a base race with roaches against a terran, and leaving your natural at the moment your 3rd dies to their entire army?
Talk about choking; that wins 0% of the time.
Twitch updated the app and I foolishly downloaded the upgrade. Of course, it's entirely broken now.
Their mobile team is so bad...

That Supernova guy literally just repeats what the other guy says. It gets really annoying.
