    It's a new take on an old classic.
    Proxy hatch in plain sight of their main nexus, and then still somehow doing decently with a cannon built next to the hatchery.

    So Artosis's first act as captain of sixjax?

    Recruiting a notoriously catty 17 year old clan-hopper who has rarely stayed with a team for more than a month.

    The guy just left ROOT a week ago while shit-talking Catz et al for not paying him more.

    I think I can safely make my opinion on this guy up from one sentence from his interview
    I feel like I should be rewarded financially for how much time I've been planning to put in

    HD has a good voice. That's sort of about it though in terms of things that really stand out.

    As far as play by play casters go, though, he's not bad.

    He has a history of a lack of team loyalty and clan hopping since BW.
    Terran: Honestly, I clan hopped a lot because I didn't care about the foreign scene in Broodwar. I didn't take it seriously, so it was just something that was fun for me to do.

    His reasoning behind is shitty and speaks to his lack of maturity (he's 17). Artosis is a great guy, but I hope he knows what he's doing by bringing this kid in.

    I mostly have a problem with the "planning to put in" part. If people payed me for all the things I have been planning on doing I would be rich! I think it also sends the wrong message about why you are joining the team/playing the game.

    Well, this player has kind of been Artosis's vanity project for a few years now.

    Went to great lengths to try and get him a contract on a Korean BW team, spent a lot of time talking him up and trying to get people to realize that "oh man Artosis found an awesome BW player and none of us saw it coming."

    And now that he's the one directly in charge of hiring for a team there's no one to say "this guy isn't actually that great" or "this guy's an immature diva, not worth the drama".

    Also looks like one of the original sixjax players left the team because he thinks that hiring Juan was such a bad idea.

    NeverExpo was actually the team manager. Picking up Gosi is an...interesting move by Sixjax, considering three of the four members on the team are already Terran. Now they will have four!

    Found it, yeah. I'm relatively new to the sc2 tourney watching scene. If they really want this crap to take off man, they need to make seeing results and brackets easier. As an outsider it's like deciphering code half the time.

    I just watched Darkforce playing a ZvT on Shattered Temple.

    He's absolutely terrifying.

    3 bases, 2 more on the way, greater spire in production, good upgrades, 170 supply worth of roach/bane/infestor by the 14 minute mark.

    it has felt fine for me against a three gate. 4gate can cause issues.

    but I open that way every game currently vs toss, except close position I tworax

    i have heard zvz is all about scouting

    ya, but its annoying and a total roshambo.

    first, you have to tech past slings. if they have an early roach warren, scrap early baneling plans. no roaches, the game should be over as you destroy their drone line with a couple banes.

    so they go roaches, safe play if they get enough (at least 3) before you'd roll in with banes. if you see roaches, get the normal roach upgrades, but slings are your friend as well, as they're cheap and can get nice surrounds with the roaches tanking.

    a lot of people will go to hydras for the dps, some will go festors, which can turn around roach wars quicker and cheaper than mutas or hydras.

    you do have to watch for early shenanigans, 10 pools w/drone to spine crawler in your base, super early banes and slings, hell, just 6 pools are annoying.

    its a crazy matchup...

    There's been a real prevalence of cheese on the ladder lately. I don't think it was this bad about 2 months ago.

    Just about every ZvZ I have banelings rushing straight for the mineral line around 5 minutes in.

    Lots of blue flame rushes into 2 port cloaked banshee.

    Lots of fake 3 gate/nexus cancel into 4 or 5 gate.

    best way to stop the banes is to have at least 3 roaches up, 1 queen and a spinecrawler.

    and truthfully, if i see anything other than that exact composition, the banes and slings are coming.
