Wow this sounds similar to games I used to have.
On short air maps vs Z I'd go thor drop and as soon as my drop left I'd double star port cloaked banshees and move out when I had three.
It was a coinflip. If he had a hydra den or spire up when I got there I'd lose, if not I'd win. There were a few times though when he'd have like all roaches and base trade with me. I could float off a CC though and he'd have no AA to stop my banshees.
Don't do it any more though, too gimmicky.

that and you should lose by that point because the cost of making a medivac, thor, 3 banshees and cloak is ridiculously high and has to take 14 years. there's no reason they shouldn't have a spire then unless they are going straight for infestors which is pretty rare.

but you're terran, so maybe not!

Granted, all this post is going to do is piss off Zerg and lead to a Terran OP conversation, but whatever.

Its been so long since I tried that, I went and pulled up my handy dandy build order optimizer, and here's what i got (I was mistaken, it was 2 banshees out of double starport, not 3 when i attacked)

standard OC opening.
have Thor & medivac before 6:30 mark
2 banshees with cloak before 9:00 mark
2 more banshees before 10:00 mark
does not cut any scvs

I haven't 1v1'd in a while, but i think mutas were usually around the 10 min mark.

If your thor does any damage it should slow that down at least some.

if you are good at micro and save your thor and dropship, you can repair your thor and drop him again as your first 2 banshees come in.

when your first two banshees get there you ahve to do a quick scout of main and natural pick off spire/hydra/evo/lair to prevent AA from getting out. If your 2nd pair of banshees got there before mutas were out, gg.

IEM was ridic today!

fyp

surprised squirtle didn't do better.

Has anyone plugged in their pc to their tv using hdmi? A couple of us did this last weekend and it was wonderful. We watch all sorts of streams and 1v1s for hours. Highly recommend.

Yea we have done that with gsl replays, was so awesome.

Yeah it definitely looks great on the big screen. Wouldn't want to try playing on a screen that big though!

Was reading the JackyPrime interview on Gom. He is the guy who made the new GSL maps.

Was just wondering if anybody knows of a good resource to learn how to use the map editor? Anything that could help me with the basics and what not? Also, maybe how to create those fun games --- starjeweled, nexus wars, etc.?

bam

vn catching up to my stack :-P

i was near 50k, then lost some stupid hand and now im at 40k

from teh 1.5 mil

pretty easy flat pre against this guy in position. he's been awful all day and just pots down every pot with cont bets.

obv tho:

actually a 3 bet pre is probably a lot better there if his open range is as wide as i think it is.

I like flat better keeps dominated hands like q9 in

also lets not turn this into a poker thread imo

it's an LC thread where else do we talk about this ****?!?

if we had enough people on this forum to support it, i'd make a dedicated poker thread, but i dont think there's many of us.

65 million avg stack for sunday million ft
pokerstars also making 860k from rake
nice life

haha yeah.

ive got 125k in the million. was a top 50 stack for a while pretty sure im still top 100.

just bubbled the 100k 33 < KQ (river bink obv) and busted teh 1.5 mil AQss < KK (with so many redraw outs! sick tease!)

now im down to 2 tables and want to open more, but if i open more and then have a meltdown in the mirrion ill want to kill kittens because i wont be able to quit and start playing sc2.

no meltdowns though!

lol finally got my "i busted a pro at FTP" t-shirt
