Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 289 - Video Games

Nick-

Thanks for the note and thanks for the support. Now that we're in a good place with regard to the streams stability and our event flow the next push is around minimized down time. Starting with Orlando you will see a new approach that will help fill those empty hours.

This year has been a learning experience and as much as I wish that we could just come out of the gate with a perfect product it has been a necessary part of our growth.

If you ever make it to an event please be sure to find me and say hello.

-sd

sounds like they are aware of the issue and will at least be improving it in Orlando fwiw

Well, that's great for your company, but as a player it's not really very appealing.

I stuck around as long as I did because as much as Karak thinks it gave me nothing, I probably got more recognition being in clan wars as a vVv member and being on the team than I would have gotten not on a team.

Also, I guess it's more fault for not getting more support. I should probably stick to bull****ting about my actual ambitions and what I'm going to do, drop out of school for a year and say I'm going to play fulltime and then play <50 games avg a week, as some of the more sponsored players on vVv.

Anyway, going to pursue some other stuff in SC2 with karak, pwn and others.

FWIW to be clear... I never said it gave you nothing, but I thought from this point forward, it would offer you nothing and actually be detrimental.

I'm sad for Time that he doesn't get the travel sponsorship like the 3 other players, because I do think Time is the best player on vvv

At the same time excited to see what's in store with 2+2ers.

On a side note I don't get why shotcallers over here don't seem to realise that the demographic for sc2 players is like almost the same for poker, why don't they act? FXOpen and pokerstrategy seemed to get it...

Is it the real huk or just some random? Guess HuK does not play on NA and also not anymore under liquidhuk?

Do you want user logins/passwords/privileges? Do you need a mySQL database?
How many pages are you looking at for the site?

Depending on the scope it can get quite expensive, from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

You can submit projects at sites like http://www.project4hire.com/ and have people bid on them. I bet there are also some pretty talented people on 2p2 if you post something in the marketplace you might get a hit. I'd do this for you if I had an excess amount of time but I'm currently pretty ****ed in terms of free time.

You're probably going to get a better estimate in the playground: programming subforum, but they'll want you to be somewhat specific about your needs I guess.

There is something that warms my heart about rushing to like 6-8 voids and attacking a zerg. I can't think of a good reason why it should work or anything that it exploits, but it just wins games. Hydra ling should destroy it, but ladder has shown the opposite lol.

Plus I get the: Is this bronze? comments all the time.

sounds similar to the heart warming feeling of showing up to your opponents base with 8 banshees

i did that to a toss who massed a bunch of voids off me. massive ****ing baneling bust + lings off 3 hatch. voids dont kill lings very fast. then he came to my base (his was all but dead) and started charging up on my main hatch and i typed "OH **** OH **** OH ****" and then moved 8 queens into vision and he insta quit.

I agree, I played one game where I destroyed about 15-17 hydras and a bunch of lings. But I think if you go pure greed and get a third super fast, hydra ling should win assuming you don't engage poorly. See: that game I played vs dway.

Just had a guy go ling baneling and try to do baneling ****, but it doesn't work so good when I have a 4 high energy sentries.
