might not have worked anyway, he had roughly 1000 storms worth of energy

Just played my first game since Saturday, told some poor gold Terran whose strategy was "suicide hellions into mineral lines twice, then go into banshees while leaving base completely wide open to ling counterattacks" that his play was the worst thing I'd ever seen and he should be ashamed of himself. In a game I won. Why do I have so much anger in me?

because you're up playing sc2 at 5:09 AM?

Its a good thing. Zerg players are supposed to be angry.

Haven't played in a few weeks, but thought I'd mention, the weird thing with me dropping to gold MMR and then going like 16-1 is explained by the fact that Blizzard have added a pretty steep MMR decay now (too steep imo). Schu also explains why you been running into guys who are normally plat or whatever beasting you.

nice, now i can hold out for bronze

I'm probably in Bronze MMR range now lol. That will be fun.

Anyone else bet on Starcraft games? Is there an edge to be had using Pinnacle?

That is a degeneracy road that I am never going to go down. Probably. At least for now.

Lines generally seem pretty beatable to me, though I don't have a Pinny account, being in US. When we did a forum capping game for a bit last year or whatever I was up like 12u in just a few weeks.

Been betting for about 8 months... **** is rigged. Been mainly betting on league of legends now and it's been better to me.

The lines are pretty ****ty but the hardest part is that SC2 is just so unpredictable, especially lately. It is a fun sweat though.

Darkstar (I think?) Used to be progamer but switched to pro sc2 bettor. He wrote a long blog about it. Apparently back in the day you could bet on sc2 while the game had already started, you can imagine what kind of huge advantages you could get from seeing the opening few minutes and then placing a bet.

ive been betting on pinnacle for a while, not that big, but been winning a nice little bit. Makes games more exciting to watch when you back one side

Because I`m sick and I`m too terrible to play Sc2 while sick I decided to start playing LoL. Dunno it`s kinda fun, I thought it`s quite easy too just don`t get this whole lvlthing.

I only can play the real "ladder" on lvl 30? I`m like 10 now and probably would take another 30+ hours of playing to get to 30. I haven`t bought any Champions yet only playing the free ones.

get well soon or gtfo imo.

As you level, you get masteries and runes. Everyone being 30 puts everyone on a level playing field.

If you don't use experience boosts, and you only play normals: you'll probably spend about 3-4 weeks from level 1 to get to 30. There is a lot to learn in the game to actually be good at ranked, though.

Yeah you need to be level 30 and own 16 champions I think to do ranked. It's for the best because it has a steep learning curve (it helps to learn all the champions and all of their abilities and counters, as well as all the items and builds, and general sense of the game). On the other hand it's only one unit you have to micro (unless you have a summon), so should be pretty easy.

anyone know the easiest way to regain control of your account if you lost access to your sign-in email and all they want you to do is reset pw which you cant retrieve?

account was locked for some reason. I think because I am logging in from a different location?

WANGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

That doesn't help...

idk, never had that problem.

I just ordered one of these for my work computer:



I like the side buttons a lot and how they have the same form as the ones I'm used to on my trackball and can be hit with clicking fingers instead of mouse holding fingers. If I like it enough I might switch it with the SteelSeries at home.

fixed. customer service was much more helpful than i anticipated and i didnt have to jump through any hoops.

is that for blizzard? sounds nice whoever it is

rant: i had been really big into cs 1.6, playing since 2002, had 1 account for like 8 years with everything on it, go through a phaze of getting a couple new computers, and they make you use a verification on any new comp you use an acc on. original email acc is long gone, i email them about it, and they require the receipt from purchase to verify lol. so spent 3 days and like 12 emails for them to tell me this again.

even worse, one of my friends gives me a spare acc, get it verified, play for a couple weeks. had to restart it, saved pw clears, my friend cant remember the pw OR the email he used for it

cliffs, steam support sucks.

blizzard.

guy was pretty chill

Sorry. Was thinkin back to SE WW 3.0 when I was Matt Flynn and your shenanigans totally left my hangin on the bench

If anyone remembers e-sports PIZZA, here was one of the rewards:
