Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 824 - Video Games

that entire group was just nutso. There basically wasn't a single game that functioned according to how starcraft "normally" plays out. And ofc, holy **** @ Jaedong-GungFu game 3

ZERG OP

Yeah, 1-base siege tank is stupid good on the ladder. I think using the starport for 1 medivac, then 1 viking, then a TL either for a raven or for stim as needed is stronger than a direct viking though.

I've also tried 3rax Stim/Combatshield push at like 7 or 7:30 or something right when stim finishes with ~20 units and it seems pretty good. plenty enough bio to deal with 2 tanks.

TvT is easily my worst matchup, I'm just horrible, but I'm going to stop with the FE and play a bit more decisively.

It's straight up criminal that we were denied a rematch of Jaedong and Has. NEVER FORGET

That just reminds me of how much I hated that Yeonsu/Polar Night/Frost/Alterzim map pool. Visually numbing and worse to play on.

Will do. My guess:
a.) Rogue comes out with a prepares build for a specific map that only works cause Hero didn't expect it
b.) Rogue gets an early lead and uses flying SH harassment on something like the Iron Fortress 3rd/4th bases to extend that lead

SS, could you drop a Youtube link? TL doesn't have the spoiler-free vods listed yet and finding it on Youtube inevitably results in spoilers.

Meanwhile, the best of 69 between Snute and Bunny is like halfway through: http://twitch.tv/basetradetv

That is just such an awesome showmatch event.

I love how I have nostalgia for Starcraft maps. That's so weird.

I was in the middle of demolishing beers. I still think it's best by default and you can't learn macro by cheesing. Or open banshees and just play from ahead half the time

Lol that game was sick goofy

My macro is actually not terrible for my league (always can improve obv), I am just trying to find an opener that gives me some focus and lets me put the pressure on my opponent rather than sitting back all the time. And usually, marine/tank/medivac makes up 90% of my army.

Oh, I totally agree, it was really entertaining. Casters being like "Vipers? Brood lords? ...or swarm hosts, LOL JK" when he put the infestation pit down knowing what was coming was great. But I don't think that game means that the new swarm hosts are, like, good or super viable or anything.
