Opened up yahoo and saw this:



Didn't click #1, afraid it will be a huge troll.

Wimp. It's just a video of some kid and his 60 year old mom dancing to Gangnam Style. It's kinda funny because they're really good, and the mom is completely stone-faced the entire video while doing it.

lol, have to go see it now obv.

I played this game last night: http://drop.sc/248157

I'm pretty sure my opponent was using a map hack. The strongest evidence for cheating is the way he moves/blinks his stalkers to defend against my mutalisks, specifically at about 20:30 and 21:45. Earlier in the game, he blindly made 3 additional cannons to counter my roach attack. He also doesn't scout at all or make a single observer in a 24 minute game.

I opened with a 7 pool, and he definitely should have defended it a lot better if he knew i was 7 pooling. I don't like to 7 pool on shakuras because if they scout first, they can usually wall their nat and get a cannon up in time. I'm not sure why I chose to 7 pool this game, I was probably tilted.

I was favored over this guy. He was plat, my mmr is high diamond, so maybe the blind cannons and not scouting could be explained by him being bad, but this stuff combined with the muta defense seems VERY fishy, despite him not reacting to my 7 pool the way I would expect a cheater to.

If any of you guys watch the replay, let me know what you think. And is it just me or do most cheaters play protoss?

To the surprise of absolutely no one, EGStephano is official with a rumored $8k/month salary. Even if was only half that, he's doing pretty well.

watching a pretty crazy hour and a half long ZvT on HOTS on fitzys stream. rootfitzy vs trump. could be a looooong game

ended up being 2 hr 25 minutes.
fitzy won it after setting up a sick infestor trap and finally fungaling all his vikings

As in 2+2's Trump?

Is this him? Didn't know he was so popular! (too popular to post ITF apparently)

Trump was one of the earliest popular streamers, he still gets good amounts whenever he streams.

I just had a guy tell me that I beat him because I'm bad and my banshee arrived too late, so he didn't prepare for it. When I pointed out that my banshees didn't kill very much, he explained that the point was that the banshees allowed me to get my 3rd up (this happened almost 7 minutes after the banshees), which doomed him, even against a player as bad as me.

What beats Thors for zerg. I am getting huge leads every game vs terran and cannot beat their thor army. I don't get it. I had 5 bases to 2 and couldnt do anything! SO frustrating

Magic boxing? Lings?

Yeah I probably shouldn't bother answering these questions.

roach/infestor neural

Magic box can work for 1-2 thors, but I have trouble when dealing with big mech armies.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong with neural, but I feel like it lasts for 2 seconds, probably because they decimate my infestors with other units. They are surrounded by seige tanks

i'm guessing he was a zerg player?

sending wave after wave of roaches to his bases (attack at different places) while teching to hive and brood lords

if you actually had a 5 base to 2 lead, your unit composition wasn't why you lost the game

Roaches, investors and eventually brood lords. If they are pure bfh (i assume this is mixed in) and Thor then just keep trading roaches for thors until he is dead

Karak, coach me at zerg, I'll stick with them for as long as you stick with me!

I haven't played in weeks but sure

I've played maybe 10 games the last year, and man its pretty silly trying to play again... always underproduce against marines :s

For real. I was a top level diamond player season 1 and beta, but havent played a game since. I am losing to platinum and good gold people now. Starting to get the hang of it slowly.

No, a Terran. The Zerg lost because of lag, and not because his sim city trapped his drones in with my first few hellions and he lost 24 of them.

I hate making poker to anything comparisons, but SC2 really is like poker in that, if you play and learn the game after not playing for a while you still know the rules your body just can't think (poker) or move (sc2) as sharply as you know it should be able to.

And when that **** happens it's one of the most frustration feelings in the world. I know if I started 1v1ing again I'd prolly be high play low diamond and it would take a couple of weeks grinding or more to get back to high diamond or low masters.

wtf, you got a showmatch coming up bro

Question for Xaston, master of the spine rush: how do you hold if they pull all their drones to attack your spines? That's the only way I've lost with that build; my lings don't kill drones very fast and the drones have enough surface area to tear through the spines pretty good before they finish. I build the spines in one clump, is it better to spread them out to try to force good drone splitting and for your lings to perhaps be better able to protect one last spine?
