raven requires another starport or no production of medivacs and vikings for a while
more importantly he has no way to know how worth it the investment will be
it would be great to have one but it's not the easiest thing to grab
The thing is though, he's throwing away what, 2 starports worth of mule mining every time that DT's force a scan? And they forced scans constantly for like 15 minutes.
Really feel like Terran players should rush ravens ASAP when DT's hit the field; they save so much money even if it just forces the protoss away from making more DTs, and PDDs are great any ways.
Granted it can be a dangerous transition with a bunch of colossi on the field, but there were several battles where SeleCT wiped the entire colossus count.
But take it with a grain of salt, I'm just a zerg player speculating about PvT.

I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Serious explanation for the eagle watching: The eagle has laid eggs and a bunch of nature people are excited to watch the eggs hatch. It really has nothing to do with SC2 aside from the joke post on the MLG forums.
I think it does make a decent point, though. UStream and JTV etc can stream many streams, some breaking 50k or 100k for just one stream, without issues (as far as I can tell). I would be surprised if UStream and JTV each have less total viewers than MLG at any given moment, but I could be way wrong.

Yeah, but what happened wasn't an issue with MLG's streaming method/equipment. It was the fact that apparently Dallas has the internet infrastructure of like, rural China.
They had to bring in additional equipment and add more tubes just so they could stream in LOW QUALITY.

What the hell is wrong with Dallas.
But yeah seriously people need to stop pinning this on MLG, they got fucked by the venue in a way that no one would anticipate. I mean seriously, who expects that a major city will have internet backbones that are made of string and bubblegum?
I don't buy that Dallas itself is poorly connected. They have some pretty big datacenters there and a ton of tech companies. I would blame the venue and/or MLG for not having multiple fat pipes hooked up on day 1. Relying on a single ISP is asking for fail.

ravens also don't move around like scans do. again ultimately it would have been a better move to get the raven but you don't know that when the time comes.
having casters tell us results that they were getting off of a third party twitter while games that literally everyone want to watch are going on in the background
when are terrans going to start making 2 or 3 ravens and EMPing and then seeker missiling the deathball...they blow shit up so good I just wanna see somebody try it

You guys went fucking crazy. 10 pages in less than 8 hours?
And I use 50 posts per page so thats a LOT of posts ^_^
blink stalkers are sooooooo good with good control

take a hit
When was the last time you interacted with an eagle? I have never seen one in real life!
NO MORE EAGLE TALK TIME FOR FINALS TALK
I think Naniwa will take it 4-2.
Protoss so OP.
Protoss so OP.
I nurse eagles back to health off the milk of my breast.
Seriously though I see eagles all the time though.
This is going to be an awkward series to watch.
Sometimes I think everyone in this thread is attempting to troll. I don't know if that would be better or worse.
And then he could make a third starport with a tech lab and get some battlecruisers. Battlecruisers are awesome and not enough people go for them.
They are pretty not awesome.

well it was the transition that killed him
if he had gotten them though,

not really disagreeing of course.
Lan would be nice though!
Really it was 4-3, he lost to painuser, select, and Kiwi.
the technical issues sucked
but really, the event was still mismanaged
having casters tell us results that they were getting off of a third party twitter while games that literally everyone want to watch are going on in the background
sounds great

hey dhal ask us about eagles
they don't it be like it is but it do
Blink Stalkers are like, a huge counter to Colossi.
-_-

After a certain point in the game, robo builds tend to get an advantage against blink stalkers. Kiwi lost that because he was way behind in economy.
Why?
huk's hallu play = creative
kiwi's strong dt mix in deathball = creative enough
just, fyi =P

Pretty darn balanced.
OHSHI-
Ah, my mistake. Forgot about Kiwi.
