Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 851 - Video Games

Haven't watched a SC2 game in months, and just now I stumble upon a Snute vs TLO game that was utterly ridiculous.

Poor TLO with the "can't shoot up" army vs Snute with 60 mutas. What's a guy to do?

I should play some Starcraft.

lol zvz, I'm watching the PvP on basetradetv (PvP has gotten shockingly more watchable in LotV, I guess kudos to Blizzard for that)

Mass muta is probably going to ruin ZvZ again once this spore crawler mirror nerf goes through.

Time for another reminder that Lilbow intentionally didn't practice to play Life at Blizzcon because he was practicing for LotV.

Results: eliminated from the last DH in the round of 24, eliminated today in this Euro donkfest in the round of 16. Still a total clown, gg.

Ended up being quite a high quality finals

Spoiler:

Thought the commentary was pretty accessible for those who've only played/watched sc2

Development #1:

StarTale turned SBENU turned sponsorless group of nomads got sponsored by Afreeca and will participate in Proleague this season

...leading to WTFOMGBBQ development #2:

STARTALE TURNED SBENU TURNED SPONSORLESS TURNED AFREECA TRADES LEENOCK TO KT ROLSTER IN EXCHANGE FOR...LIFE. WTF? How are you KT and saying to yourself "sure, seems legit, we'll trade the best Zerg since Nestea to get a guy that hasn't been relevant since Wings of Liberty"???

Salary dump? Did they get some elite prospects in return?

Also, best Zerg since Nestea? Are you out of your ****ing mind?

EDIT: Just to be clear, meaning that Life is way, way out of Nestea's league. Life was the first elite Zerg.

I probably should have said "most prolific" or something - I agree Life is a better player.

And now Life is detained by police and under investigation, presumably for match-fixing. Pretty sure this would be the SC2 version of Savior if there's anything there, and would probably kill the game for good IMO.

This is like Anchorman when Ron Burgundy told San Diego to go **** itself.

Wierd, I was just thinking about how corrupt korean businesses are, and whether or not there was anyone match fixing in their most popular game. Then I open this thread and get my answer lol

this really made me sad. i hope that it's only a recent thing (not like his GOAT period would be affected anyway) but it's really not a good look.

was he still on top of the scene when he was arrested for this?

He finished 2nd to sOs at Blizzcon and there haven't been a lot of LotV tournaments yet, so generally yeah.

In other news, guy posts video on reddit showing how to get zoomed out camera in ladder matches (warning: technically cheating, possibility of getting banned, but given how long lolblizzard takes to ban obvious maphackers idk if you could actually get caught doing this)
