Alrighty, I know a lot of us don't actually play SC but we're pretty good about watching it. I was wondering if any PA people here in Seattle want to get together and reestablish a BarCraft scene in the area. Anyone?
I am now in Seattle (weeee!), but I don't really drink and I've never been to a Barcraft. So I dunno how much I'd actually meet the criteria
I don't drink either, but only sports bars have TVs and stuff. I'd be down with just eating, socializing, and watching SC with my PA brothers.

Then I'm up for it if others are!
Alright that's two now! If we can get a third we'll have a trio, four makes a team, and five a group!

I'm only going to be attending Monday. But I'd totally be down with saying hi to some fellow PA people.
Ah, that's a shame. I'll be there Friday to Sunday and am leaving Sunday night. I've never been, so I'll probably just be aimlessly wandering with my cousins. Any pro tips?

that's playful at least
this is mc being a dick and idra whining about balance mid game (mc says 'are you angry'... thumbs down is a celebration, okay I get it, but 'are you angry' mid game?)
I guess it's a good thing in that the crowd goes wild. I'd probably love it if it wasn't 2 other players.
New bugfix patch this week. Any of you loonies that 4v4 might get your hopes up again, apparently they've fixed the 4v4 bug (again)
STARCRAFT II PATCH 2.0.11
BUG FIXES

Fixed an issue that caused in-game Victory screens to display incorrect fonts.
English strings are now properly displayed in the enGB version of the Split 1v1 and Streamlined custom observer UIs.
Battle.net
4v4 matches no longer result in losses for both teams.
Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause players to encounter an “Input Limit Reached” error when loading map lists on the Custom Games page.
Army Value is now the default graph displayed in the Graphs tab on the Score Screen.
Gameplay and Races
General
Hovering the mouse over double wide Collapsible Towers now properly displays two Destructible Debris preview images.
Terran
Thors now display the correct control group icon while in Explosive Payload mode.
The Thor’s High Impact Payload and Explosive Payload abilities are now properly suppressed while under the effect of Fungal Growth.
Wireframe tooltips are now properly displayed for Thors in High Impact Payload.
Protoss

Zerg
Baneling, Brood Lord, Infested Terran, and Overseer cocoons are now properly selected when using the Select Army Units button.
Burrowed Queens are no longer selected when using the Select Army Units button.
Graphics
Fixed a crash that could occur when loading a saved game created from a session in which the player changed graphic settings.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur with Phoenix-style paired attacks.
Fixed an issue in which transparent models with different colored halos could cause the halos to flicker and display incorrect colors.
Fixed an issue that let user Variable change his avatar
Editor
Fixed an issue where users were encountering long load times when loading into a map from the editor.
So, are hellbats still a thing? I don't watch too much but I feel like I never see them outside of mech TvT.
they got nerfed so they dont two shot workers anymore, you need blue flame for that. You can get hellions faster and banshees are cheaper, so thats what you see a lot in TvT now
Just read that League of Legends user info was hacked. Only superficial or hashed data was taken. Still, any of you traitors that turned to the dark side might want to keep a vigilante watch over your accounts.

ahaha, they changed the reaper and marauder icon again. only matters if you use grid but it's funny, spent a lot of early hots getting used to the change and now it's back. made a total of 2 reapers though so I'd say it's not a big deal
edit - awesome one of the top mlg games is incontrol winning. apparently recently but I didn't see it the first time, awesome to see him win ever and it was a comeback on top of it. he looked so happy!

If its the game where he came back with DTs, then that was one of the more memorable games i've seen from him recently. EG even did a special on it

I think one of the more interesting things about these videos is you not only see speed, but accuracy. Also take a look at Rain's thumb placement, it hovers over 'G.' Since I used space for jump in FPS (most top level FPS use mouse2), my thumb hangs out at the spacebar, but I still use it to build pylons (B+E) and chronoboost (4+C) and whatnot. I think to a new player like me, or anyone with sub 200 apm, learning to use your thumb can be awkward at first, and rewarding in the end. You see Rain use it for several things, with accuracy.
Its pretty interesting to me, and it will by no means make a huge difference unless you're high masters/low GM trying to make high GM or Code A/S. The muscle memory I have from FPS has been hard to break, as your hand doesnt move around at all, and I had my weapon selections around wasd, and i didn't have to think "Ok rockets press R then click" it was instinctual. I imagine a lot of the top level players have this as well, spotting drops and instead of spamming 12 stalkers, they warp in exactly 5 at exactly the right spot, or seeing a lair timing and gas timing and knowing exactly what was up.
Of course I'm talking about the very top level mechanics that the majority of people in this thread don't even have to worry about, especially me. I mean the game I posted on the last page I was so dead but luckily the guy stood in the middle of storms like a polite gentleman, and never made more than 4 vikings to counter my 7 colossus, and at one point threw away about 7 ghosts. Me optimizing my apm isnt going to make much difference in that particular game. What has helped is getting used to my F1-4 keys and having a thought like "ok research +3 +3" and instead of looking at the minimap, I already know where my forges are and how to get to them. I just find the refined mechanics of the very top level players to be interesting as fuck, instead of just spamming chrono's on probes because it doesnt matter in lower leagues, they already know what they have in army, tech, and workers, and can distribute chronos (or scans, larva etc) exactly where they need them.

that game won't get far but it's still fun to see
I love seeing the old maps the most. even cloud kingdom feels like forever ago now.
good reminder of why I don't like either of them as players, hardly a classic game. I guess they need 32 and this gets attention.
this is mc being a dick and idra whining about balance mid game (mc says 'are you angry'... thumbs down is a celebration, okay I get it, but 'are you angry' mid game?)
