Just had a pretty funny TvZ on abyssal where I turtled on 2 bases and went for shield mech (ie. 0/3 upgrades), and when he tries his muta harass, he runs straight into a turret line that he should have spotted with his OL that I saw. He then says Turtle harder please, and I oblige him and move out with 1/3. His mass roach got ripped apart by my tanks, and his infestor NP was dumbly used on my tanks lol. He then proceeds to call me terrible even though he didn't have a single BL on the field even though he knew my comp (He flew mutas into a line of ~4 thors on accident lol.). My turtling was actually good because I thought he was going for 2 base bling/roach bust because he tried to hide the bling nest.
TvP on shakuras, opponent opens up by saying "Gl to your all in", so I play along a bit. He asks "Marine tank ghost?" and I say that's too gas intensive. He gas steals me, I expand, see he is going for gate/robo with immos, and decide that his suggestion was a good one. 4 ghosts, 5 tanks, and lots of MMM completely rock his world with unbelievable EMPs (I literally got all his immos and sentries with 3 or 4 of them even though he was spread.). I don't seem to get BMed very much, generally some fun banter when something neat happens (like a zerg perpetually gas stealing me).
I wound up losing. I think his stream died halfway through the game though.
He cannon rushed me and forced a cancel on my nat hatch. I double expo'd and he tried to go double robo+mothership on two base. As I took out his main and nat he was locking down his third and fourth. I suspect he was trying mship, he had the fleet beacon. He harassed for a while with air, I overmade hydras and he rolled with colo.
I won my school's opening game in CSL and we ended up shipping it 3-1, so off to a good start. I know zefa/raffy are also involved, how did your games go?
i did micro. i just decided to go to brood lords which was a mistake i guess. gotta play perfect as zerg even with a massive lead.
also it's really hard to micro when he has MASSIVE ****ing amounts of chargelots. like if i go to inject or w/e im going to get slaughtered. at one point i had to micro literally over halfway across the map to kill his army. it made it extremely difficult to push and do any legit damage. plus he'd send 3-4 chargelots to my bases while im doing this (despite my spines being there they didnt do much) and the micro needed to fight all that is just insane.
meanwhile the toss a moves in my general direction with his ball.
fungal growth + roach should absolutely massacre chargelot/archon.
i've definitely lost games to mass chargelot/archon where i stubbornly thought i could just run it over with pure roach.
also, mixing in banelings is very good. you have to do one or the other imo, baneling or infestor. this is pretty much true of defeating any toss army composition, though.

My pvp lasted 6 minutes. I almost killed his probe with my probe in his mineral line and he tried to surround it with 7 probes but I escaped. He misclicked the ground next to the mineral line and so for the next 30 seconds or so he had 7 idle probes. 4 gate and gg. I think our team will lose to the next college tho, they have a bunch of high masters T_T.

What college are y'all? I'm FSU obv, didn't get to play against UGA week 1, but sweeped them 3-0. We have a few mid-high masters, pretty solid. Looking forward to Miami and UF games

I was playing poker while watching the game on youtube, afterwards I watched it again and realized that his opponnent was pretty terrible. It looked pretty good when you didn`t really focus^^
So you really don't know who combatex is? I am jelly.

afaik there are similar laws regarding contracts in the USA, allowing you to reneg within a certain time window. Where's karak?

Made the mistake of reading a few posts from the TL thread. Lost several IQ points.
i'm seriously considering just sticking to the brood war section from now on, i can physically feel myself becoming stupider every time i read the sc2 forum, especially in threads where i kind of know more than the average poaster, which is usually every non-strat post
