Aww yiss, **** on a gold Terran who went mech with roach/swarm host/muta. I was opening ling-bane ldo so when I saw he was going mech I had a solid bank and just made all my lings into banes. His first moveout got crushed super hard (banes were like lol hellbats) and after that I contained him on 3 bases forever.

For lategame, what's my ideal composition? He was pretty thor-heavy so I guess swarm host is good vs that? If he had more tanks I'd have been a little worried, since I guess the core of an anti-mech army for Z is roaches and they're kinda dog**** once the mech army gets 3/3.

Brood lords are pretty good

I am quite sure that if you do not play for a while, your mmr starts to decay.

maybe a month or so ago was playing 2v2s with my friend whos protoss. he gets double dropped, they take long enough killing his nexus that my army has time to come help, clean it up with maybe 50 hp on his nexus, i go to click my guys back to where they belong and misclick his nexus, it dies, he snap leaves and to this day thinks the drop just killed it, timing was so close

after the game i said "you wanna hear something funny?" he said no. good call.

on the other hand, he loses the most bases EVER to double drops. its actually absurd.

Placed in plat NA EU and gold (lol) in NA. I have now won 15 games in a row on NA on ladder. None of the games were close either. I keep playing donks. My placement match I played a silver in ZvZ. I went muta, didn't let him out of his base. Built a load of spores and spines outside his natural whilst taking bases all over. I do not understand this matchmaking. Ok so my MMR dropped due to inactivity, but after 15 wins a row it hasn't gone up at all? In fact its gone down. That's right my MMR has dropped after 15 wins in a row.

back when i got hots i purposefully lost my placements (one he snap quit) so i'd get bronze. won way less than 15 games to get into gold then quit playing. not even without losing cause i started playing protoss (contradiction to the max) and i hadn't laddered at all for maybe 1-2 months before that

Sounds more like your MMR is ridiculously low from decay (like bronze low). Also, there seems to be a pretty poor correlation between league and MMR on NA in my experience recently. I play people from gold to masters with an MMR in low diamond.

How do you know it went down? It obviously decayed due to inactivity, but how do you know it's gone down from that point?

Well I didn't play for about half a season and went from playing Diamonds to plat players. I was winning every game after that, now I am playing silvers and golds.

I mean I suppose my MMR could be the same but it seems unlikely.

immediately ran into the person who beats you, chats you after the game, then immediately blocks you

we can assume these people are huge ******s IRL, right?

Stephano may or may not be unretiring. At least he's competing in HSC 8

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/view...opic_id=435419

On a side note, this tournament looks like it's being played in 2011. Zenio, Incontrol, Stephano, jjakji, and more all playing.

lol, I definitely do that sometimes. I did it to the guy I described from the other night who did the epic hatch block and then died to my ling+bane attack off 2 bases (or really 1, I never saturated my natural).

Nov 14-17: HomeStory Cup 8, featuring MC, Naniwa, Hero, jjakji, Taeja, Scarlett, Hyun, Zenio, Symbol, and a bunch of crappy foreigners

Nov 23-24: Red Bull Battlegrounds, 8 player invitational, $50k prize pool (pretty serious for just 8 players). Players are: MC, sOs, Parting, Bomber, Golden, Snute, Hyun, Scarlett

Nov 28-30: DreamHack Open: Winter, featuring Naniwa, Hero, Stardust, JYP, sOs, Taeja, Innovation, MMA, Polt, ForGG, Leenock, Jaedong, Hyun, Life (should be good!)

Nov 28-Dec 1: IEM Singapore, featuring who the **** cares (Grubby, CJ Hero, Scarlett, and loads of donks) because DH Winter will be way better

Nov 28-Dec 1: World Cyber Games in China, featuring Parting, Sora, Innovation, and loads of foreigners that will all lose (Sen/Jim/Macsed will at least be better than the others)

Sometime in December: Hot6ix Cup, featuring the top two from each GSL/WCS KR season: Rain, Dear, Innovation, Maru, Soulkey, Symbol, Roro, Soo

missed the Dailymotion cup 2013 http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft...otion_Cup_2013 quite a sick tournament with brackets setting up to have a stacked quarterfinals!

Not sure if hilarious or awesome (or both)

After the Hot6ix Cup, StarTale_Legend (GSL observer) is retiring to own + coach a new ESF team and is recruiting new players.

Legend is amazing so I hope this works out.
