Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 193 - Video Games

Look at the bonus pools of the guys right below you. Are they all spent?

The thing with the bonus pool is that if you play a lot more than someone else, your displayed rank will shoot up way higher even if your MMR is the same/lower. So you could be #1 in your division but pretty low in terms of MMR if everyone else around you just isn't clearing their bonus pool.

yeah, I still have about 400-500 bonus pool myself, although if I keep getting matched vT that'll disappear soon enough. although i'm getting tougher players, at one point my last opponent actually took a third base!

How are you ever going to be like Destiny if you quit playing? jkjk

But in all seriousness, I think you're taking this game too seriously if you have to create ultimatums like that. What if you're doing well over the next 2 weeks and still don't get promoted?

Got to the 4th round of the TL open. Beat some 1200 point P along the way 4 gate vs 3 gate robo. He then bmed me.

Eventually got beat by a really good protoss player 4 gate vs 4 gate. The sad part his 4 gate was slower than my average 4 gate, I just accidentally rallied 2 probes next to a mineral patch so they weren't mining for a good 30 seconds.

I didn't know you had 2 accounts? Or does it just list you based on your TL account name?

it lists based on his account, found him using the one in the account list sticky

weird that there never seems to be a tourney thread for the one they're actually hosting, there's one for seemingly everything else

lol, I could never get anywhere near that. Winning a couple games is a pretty big achievement for me.

Inca v Ryze now. The Cruncher games were pretty sick.

cool trick, wish we could do this when protoss builds teh pylon in our natural and then drops their own nexus......

sad state of the game when protoss feels they are entitled to taking their natural before zerg....lol

protoss elitism imo

still <3 gospy tho

That's what I don't really like about Tal'Darim. They go ffe, and can either super delay our natural while taking an easy natural for themselves, and then we can't take a third quick enough because of those rocks to really catch back up. If you make 10 lings it takes a while to kill rocks, and you also lose out on those 5 drones.

Darkcell played really badly in those matches (I didn't see the 2nd one). His macro was awful, like I macro nearly that well and I'm Gold league. In the last game he got a huge lead and completely threw it away by wasting units, especially the infestors, and waiting far too long to take a third.
