I like ultralingbane better than brood lords just cuz if u lose Ur brood lord army Ur kinda screwed.

how are 1 base zergs constantly beating me

also, anyone who can micro a worker at 8 food totally owns me and ****s up my builds to the point i have to quit

Thank you for sharing that with us.

IHA GGI showmatch

Yeah I hate brood lords ZvT mostly because there's no good timing to get them and unless it's like Ohana my mobility is important. Stephano, ling/infestor/ultra for the win all the way. Then again my BL/infestor micro is terrible so that might be my problem.

Someone stole my iphone last night. I left it in a cab by accident and got a text via my friend saying "your friend left his phone in a cab and I have it" but hasn't responded to any of my other texts/calls offering him several hundred dollars for it

Luckily I still have my old droid...

DC/VA area cab? call the cab company immediately.

I don't remember what cab company it was. Too drunk. Probably had something to do with why I left my phone in there.

i would win that so easily, i could do it with 2 races too

Well they did a ****ton better than my max army of roaches.

And really, the biggest benefit wasn't necessarily "herp derp tanks can't shoot them", it's that their mobility and range allowed me to force him into engaging on my terms and didn't let him sit passively at his siege tank line. When I bring my BLs up and start sniping at his marines in front of his tanks, he has to either pull forward to attack the BLs (and get in range of my roaches, staying safely outside his tank line) or pull back and expose his tanks.

the biggest benefit of BLs is their range and how much broodlings **** with enemy AI

the wat...

Does anyone with a tw copy of sc2 ever have problems getting it to boot?

Like it seems really random. My na version opens up fine but every once in a while I just can't get my tw copy to open and I can't figure out why.

Ha, good point. I think I meant mobility relative to something like siege tanks, which also have very long range but unfortunately are stationary.

air force ace disbanding. someone sign firebathero up to a foreign team when he's done his service for +4 awesome

played 2 games today and won both. then played 7 more and have lost them all. how are you supposed to stop the 3 pylon/cannon or the double bunker at ur ramp as zerg? makes for really stupid 1 base games.

oh man. when u go on a downswing it makes that win so much sweeter. whew

Cool, maybe I'll try this out. I got 4 hellion dropped earlier today for the first time ever; he fried my entire mineral line and won the game right there basically. Looking at the replay though his build was awful; he was basically all-in on his hellion drop, because he was on 1 base and built 0 marines out of his barracks. He just bee-lined for a factory w/ tech lab, researched blue flame, and sent 4 hellions over in a medivac as soon as they all finished (~7:10?). What's especially tilting is that if I pull my SCVs right away and send all my marines over, it doesn't work, but I sent my marines over in pieces and that didn't work out so well.

Messing around against the AI I was able to do 1 rax + gas expand into reactored hellions with a medivac at about 7:35 (and a bunker w/ ~8 marines defending my nat); does that sound like a good opening for this type of build? Leaves me some flexibility to go in different directions after the drop I guess.

I think something like a 1 rax + 1 gas expand is actually a cool thing not enough people do. You can do something along the lines of getting a marine out, then getting a reactor on your rax to pump out enough for 2 bunkers full by the time an attack hits. That way you can still transition into mech or bio while getting a better standing force against pressure, and not overloading your gas. I'm going to try this opening against the AI (admittedly on a laptop) and see what I come up with.

Not letting it happen is the best solution. If you see/suspect proxy rax, always patrol a drone at the bottom of the ramp. If you hatch first against P, you practically need 2 drones on the other side to have a shot at breaking through the block as you won't have lings fast enough (That's the main reason players don't hatch first, the economies end up about the same with queen timing, but you often have to pull workers against shenanigans). As for how to deal with it once it happens, it's real rough. It's really almost a GG moment if they play super safe after the fact (P maintains vision around their base and cannons their front up against a frontal roach nydus, T is just terran and wins with any early game advantage obv)

Yeah, I was thinking you could probably choose 32 Koreans that failed to qualify for the Korean WCS and have a stronger group of players than the WCS finals. lolforeigners

when are we playing goofy?

Add goofyballer.319 yo. I'm working like 70 hours a work atm though so when I do play it's been at pretty weird hours (either like 3-4am PT or early afternoon PT on weekends before I go into work).
