Call Blizzard and talk to support. I called in once, and maybe I just got lucky, but the first guy I talked to sounded like he was just some 25 year old dude from Oregon or something who likes to drink on the beach on the weekends. If you broached it from an angle somewhere along the line of, "I think I accidentally did this and I just realized my mistake. Is this supposed to be like this? Like, am I supposed to have to buy 3 keys? Or was I supposed get the new key a different way," there's a good chance you get fixed up.

Look at ****in forgg right now huddled in his base against Firecake

This single game is 3x longer than all of Sen's combined lol.

That was so friggin obnoxious of forgg imo

Reminds me of my opponent timing down every turn in Hearthstone just praying that I disconnect or die of old age before lethal occurs.

Didn't see the game, but from your description ForGG should probably have his Korean citizenship revoked for such an unmanly display

I mean, he's basically a Euro now anyway. Snorefests are right up their alley.

I have no idea what Suppy's doing, but it looks terrible and it makes me sad

haha, was watching this game. ****ing waste of time.

Nonkorean starcraft is so bad.

Swarm host against biomine takes another plat victim, spoilered for strong language:

He appears to be not entertained.

Has is so good at mind games. I often wonder why more players don't do stuff like what he did - basically, you scout something, and say to yourself "I know he's doing X and not Y", because your confirmation he is in fact not doing Y is that he spent Z on whatever branches of his build that would have been wasted if he was doing Y.

But what if making your opponent think you're doing X is more valuable than the cost of Z?

Or was there some other game you're referring to? I only watched a bit of WCS today but I think he played well.

That (on Catallena) was one of them, the other was

Blizz with another test map update on the swarm host changes: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/star...te-february-25

Cliffs:
- Their intention (turning SH into harass units) appears to be working
- To continue down that path, they're decreasing locust lifetime from 30s to 25s
- They recognize that without SH, Zerg needs help against mech and to zone out high templars in late game deathballs, so their plans are...
- Viper blinding cloud range increased to 11 from 10, to help them not die to vikings I guess
- Tempests no longer do bonus damage vs massive air, so while their range is still good, they don't hard counter brood lords/BCs anymore

I think the tempest change is really good in particular, but I think Zerg is gonna get rekt pretty hard by mech for awhile.

They want to release this in HotS after the WCS season 1 finals.

just downloaded starcraft on my mac

god i'm so rusty

and these hotkeys are a nightmare

I've been getting some coworkers into it and playing at work on our Macs, it's definitely a pain. I had to go into system prefs -> keyboard and set normal F keys and then turn on the "disable OS special keys" or whatever in SC2 control options before stuff worked properly.

Yeah decreasing the locust lifetime by 20% is balanced by giving blinding cloud ONE more range.

Jesus christ.

yea i did this

is the meta still the same?

get 6gate +1 all inned, lose third, have hydra/roach speed tech out

counter attack vs 2 base protoss with .5 colossi, easily win

protoss complains

some things never change

I'm not playing ZvZ out so dunno about that.

ZvT: not a lot of proxy cheese these days, hellion/hellbat/banshee stuff is mildly popular still, mostly biomine, nothing too weird
ZvP: feels a little cheesier these days than usual, there's the occasional stargate -> third base build but usually lots of gateway and/or robo all ins off 2 bases

In short, yes, still the same.

That's depressing. When is LoTV coming out? I am not playing again until then I think. Unless I take a serious notion.

Word on the street is the beta shouldn't be terribly far off, like a month or two maybe (though just the initial stage where only pros/streamers get in and us plebs get it later).

Im at PAX right now and Rotterdam is hosting at the Dreadnought booth. Ded gaem confirmed

Pax should be fun tho.
