Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 419 - Video Games

Ok...glad I'm not going insane.

What does the SC2 community want? Just every caster to say that every build is the correct one and they could win the game no matter what? I guess until you reach Artosis level you can't criticize anyone? If I had to listen to Jon Gruden every single time I watched a NFL game I'd shoot myself.

Good God, and Katu is one of the better community casters. I hope he still does KSL.

Um...someone please tell me I'm not insane and really don't see much of an issue with what Katu said. http://www.twitch.tv/playhemtv/b/310000688

Go to ~4:04:00 and its about 2 or 3 minutes.

uh, you can see that first comment (while still in the game/before the gg) about "watching the stream" as fairly innocuous and trying to be funny but the 2nd part with the bs about "not implying anything" (lol at that) is super dumb. Firstly his "evidence" is extremely shoddy and secondly if you suspect something fishy is going on you talk to the organizers not blurt it out on stream.

If he was stream cheating why is he building a 3rd command centre?

If you are going to accuse someone of cheating publicly you better be right.

Pretty sure he's actually getting paid to level people with bronze/silver accounts to masters. His stream comments offer this service.

Why exactly was he kicked off slayers? Like in exactly what manner did he cheat? I found something that someone said he was stream cheating?

So he specifically falsified why he was kicked off Slayers on a stream viewed by thousands as well as accusing him of stream cheating? Doesn't sound like a witch hunt to me. Sounds totally expected. Casters cannot behave in this manner.

I just want you to all know that playing games for the lolz is much more enjoyable than playing games for the win.

After oz wins the first game in a bo3:

Moletrap: Apparently oz wins 75% of his matches when he wins the first game.

all casters (tastosis included) are always fascinated with the fact that guys go on to win a series a large % of the time after winning the first game. it's prob the most tilting thing sc2 casters most often point out.

I've gone from the dark side to the EVEN DARKER side! I was a terran player to start and for first 4 seasons, but I decided to do my placement matches as toss. Went 5-0 doing FFE, 4-gate, and 1gate FE against Z,P, & T respectively. The zerg rage is still enjoyable, and happens more often

It's not directed to the IBMAtoss, so I would say no. Self rage doesn't count.

yessssssssss, EZran kills off my nat, is walking into the mineral line of my main, starts dancing......

Doesnt realize i have a 3rd running and a 4th that just popped, so i mass lings, make good trades, build up a mutaball, and start to harrass. He tries to base trade, i kill off the majority of his army with banelings cuz he cant micro for ****. The mutas destroy off all of his barracks, and i win. Now that felt good.
