I just got owned by the funday monday

What's the funday monday this week? And post replay obv

You must make a battle cruiser before you're allowed to expo. I actually scouted the super fast fusion core when it was in production but didn't click it (poked up bunkered ramp with a ling so had no time) so I thought it was something else. Then scouted 2 techlab starports so I prepared for banshees. It threw me off so hard that my game just crumbled and started playing like I was in bronze (am on new account but getting even matched against 2000-2100 diamonds btw). I messed up pretty much every single thing there is to mess up afterwards. Pretty much the most embarrassing game I've played to date...

That's the guy that intermittently stops the video of the game in question and shows him addressing the camera on some tangent, right? I tried 3 videos of the guy and decided I couldn't stand it anymore. Tangents are fine, danzasmack was awesome with knowledge and commentary, but I suspect he'd immediately bug the crap out of me if every tangent involved pausing the hand for a close-up. Say your tangents as the army is running across the battlefield! WTF?!?

/rant. Not that anyone cares about my criticisms, unless they already agree.

I really enjoyed Artosis' commentary during GSL before the feed I was watching was disabled.

got my 750 team wins toss selendis avatar yesterday night

Just played a game PvP on Blistering Sands. Just lost 2 games so I figured I'd go zealot rush this guy. He stole both my gas, but that was ok because I didn't need them. I hung around in his base with my probe for awhile. He had his ramp blocked. He killed off my probe. He froze and ended up getting booted. I win. hahaha Serves him right.

why does that serve him right =0

Because he stole both my gas like an *******!

maybe you should have taken your gas :P instead of trying to zealot rush

Maybe you should expanded and take the gas from there instead! Don't even attack his geysers. Would be a total mindfhk when you show up with gas heavy units like carriers

He stole them before I ever had a chance to take them, ya know, like, he comes directly to my base and takes both gas. Probably the first thing he did.

Anyways, I lost every game I played tonight except that one where he froze. I decided to try and take a more casual approach to the game and it didn't work. The other night when I had that intense game where I was using blink stalkers, I was so geared up, ready to go, sitting on the edge of my seat, adrenaline pumping. I really don't think I want to keep doing that every game. Haven't made it down to the point where others are taking it casual like me. haha I keep getting my gas stolen, my units decide to go wander off on their own, I get marine rushed with 90 bajillion marines. Nothing I did worked.

Oh well. Just trying to have fun!

sounds like you need some customs!

i think if im on a winning streak i need to play til i lose a game or two so i lower my mmr again

wont ruin my night going like 8-2 but starting off a day 0-2 is a bit disheartening

If I need a winning streak I just need to roll zerg several times in a row when playing random. Yet to lose one so far after my rating tanking.

Got protoss vs a gold terran. He won convincingly as he destroyed my early expansion with an early push. He then proceeded to call me weak and bad etc. I admitted I was. He still laughed, I challenged him to a rematch where I played zerg. Beat him easily. happyface.

just played a fun game. came down to my 1 cloaked banshee against 1 void ray. base race luckily my buildings can float and VRs are so slow !

I heard 6 pools good

I heard 7pool + 2 spine crawler rush is good.

I think I'm going to cheese in TvP from this point on. A waste of time to play a game past 12 minutes and TvT and TvZ is way more fun ATM.

Until you get 12droned.

lol why wouldn't he just follow ur cloaked banshee and just kill it when its energy runs out?

I haven't been 12 drone rushed but I don't see how it would be hard to stop this as your scouting SCV should see them leaving the base and give you time to start building the 2nd supply depot early. Maybe when vs'ing zerg it would be a good idea to have your scouting SCV sit at a xel naga in front of your base until 14-15 supply and then begin scouting.

What is it with people stealing gas? Is that all they know how to do around the Gold level? Seriously!

I played a game on the PTR because I want to see what placement I'll get in to if i just play the game casually, sitting back, without my adrenaline pumping. Of course, the guy stole my gas, but I beat him because he went all zerglings/banelings and I destroyed him with colossi. But come on, it's getting old. I think my last 3-4 matches have all had someone stealing at least one gas.

If my scouting drone isn't getting out of there and the drone is nearly dead, there's no reason not to gas steal for 25 minerals.
