Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 179 - Video Games

In terms of observing, try to use the middle mouse button scroll for short distances rather than clicking the minimap or scrolling using the edge of the screen. It's easier to follow, less jarring. An example of where this might come in handy would be the early baneling busts when wraths was flanking from the north and east.

You caught it eventually but in the future try to have the replay bar minimized before you start the cast.

Pretty well done imo.

i just solo-casted the saiyen vs. orange best of 3 from the tournament. was kind of hard as the first 2 games are pvp and i dont know a ****ing thing about pvp, but i did my best. also being the only commentator, trying to interpret what is going on while never ceasing the talking AND controlling the camera is hard as ****. a new level of respect for the solo casters who do this.

will process and upload those vids overnight

Don't take my memes to heart - you guys did a fine job - it was just more analytical than I'd expected for a funsies in-house tournament. Certainly not a bad thing.

marco from quadjacks started pronouncing it "karrr-ock" which sort of caught on, and im thinking of dropping "careck" to go with that

yea i started doing this. it's actually pretty resource heavy to do the middle button push and drag oddly enough.

im going to do some more casting tonight if we have any good bo3s between diamond or higher guys in the tourney which look interesting enough. if anyone wants to join me, let me know. im going to try to have someone on who plays one of the races from each match up for every game from now on.

I suppose having a made-up-word name, while annoying and confusing to pronounce, can be endearing. See 'id-ra/eye-dra'. BTW it's id-ra ***holes.

I know it's based off of the indian god 'indrajit', but yes it is. Yes 'idra' is a word in Aramaic but his name is unrelated to that word.

Stolen from the Blizz forums. Solution to zerg scouting woes though.

(if you're only gonna watch one, watch game 3 :-P)

Orange (LANDLORD) vs. Saiyen bo3 cast:

Game 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy8lrFepvLE
Game 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItPZ2w4sZbs
Game 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wyDXIPY3ro

Be sure to watch in 720p!

Was my first time doing a solo cast and it is a bit awkward for a while, but I think by game 3 I felt more comfortable and fluid. Should get better going forward. Just will take some time to get used to I think.

Official Blizzard confirmation on the ladder lock:

Quote:

Due to an issue with the Grandmaster league we’ve temporarily locked league reassignments. This means that all ranked games are correctly awarding (and subtracting) points, all changes to player’s internal matchmaking rating continue to be made, but the ability to be promoted/demoted to a different league is temporarily on-hold. When this lock is released, the next win will process the correct standing and any league reassignments will be carried out as they would have.

We currently have a hotfix for the Grandmaster issue in testing, and expect it to be implemented very soon. Once the fix is in and verified the lock will be removed and league standings will continue as normal. We’ll make another announcement at that time.

It’s important to note, again, that your games played now continue to count toward your standing and a possible league reassignment.

Please to be saying sorry to all of those who didn't believe me. kthx

Can't say for sure, yet, if this is the fix, but:

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty – Patch 1.3.4

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that would cause some Leagues & Ladder pages not to show correctly.

The problem was that there was a second GM league created causing some people to get promoted into the second GM league so the only way to stop that from happening was to lock everything.

Hopefully it's fixed now so everyone can go back to being happy.

My suspicion says it's not fixed yet. I just tried clicking on the GM tab and it still shows as Not Ranked Yet.

This is what happens when I accidentally offrace Terran in 1s on the ladder... playing Terran in 1s for the first time ever, in a god damn TvT. Terran OP.

Note: I cannot refund the time lost from your short life if you choose to watch this game.
