I lost a bo7 (ish, we just played) 4-2. Damn mutas get me every time.
Watching GSL right now
Good games dude.
In my opinion, you’d benefit from a 1 stargate x warpgate 2 base build quite a bit. Get a single stargate up early and send that scouting phoenix out, maybe even research hallucination as well. That way you’re not committed to countering mutas (you can put a void or two behind your ground army to very good effect) and you avoid the robotics facility trap. If I stop your ground scouting and force you to get an obs to scout my mutas often times I think it would be too late to adequately respond to them. Obviously immortals/colossi aren’t going to take out mutas and your stalker count will probably be too low to really stop the constant muta harass. After that point I can just expand like crazy and just run back to defend when you start trying to cross the map and just take out my base.
Also, I’m going to be on for a few hours if anyone wants to get some games in.
Both games I won were when I went forge first, and just got played it from there. Quick expand into double stargate on Xel Naga, or 1 gate + cannon pressure on your natural on Lost Temple. Pretty much I need to find a way to put pressure on zerg without losing all my units early game
I also need to be able to handle mutas without relying on stargates, I can never seem to leave enough stalkers behind to make it defend and my cannon defense is either too late or too light
second gas. when do u guys usually get it? i realize that this is one of the reasons why i haven’t won a lot of games because i get it so late.
also, mass mutas r good against P?
It really depends. If you’re going ling/roach off the bat then you only need one gas for a while until maybe lair is done. If you’re going muta/ling then you want to expand and get 4 gas asap without cutting too many drones from mins. When you’re thinking about gas think about what kind of units you want to make. Obviously roaches with their 25 gas cost don’t break the proverbial bank and the second gas would only become necessary as you try to upgrade or transition into hydra.
I think they’re really good as a threat. If your opponent has really good info on you and sees them coming from a mile away then you’ll have problems, but if you can maintain map control with 4-6 lings and force the toss to play in the dark then they can be brutal because they won’t know if you’re going for.
So has anyone bought the $10 ticket for the GSL? I’m wondering how bad the ads are. If it’s just one commercial at the beginning of each match, I could live with that.
I’m not sure, but being able to watch the vods in 720p is just so niceee.
cool, hopefully they will inspire you to stop playing WOW, fuck that shit. RTS like SC provides REAL pvp son.
at the very least, be my 4v4 partner kthx. sobriety not needed.
it hate it when i’m playing a 2v2 ranked game and my partner is random… wtf? more often than not they end up with a race they have no fucking clue how to play, so they are there scratching there ballz. do that random crap when ur playing non ranked bs game on LT.
Do you mean having 3 hatcheries per base? Maybe thats why I lose alot in mid/late game cus I only run 2 hatcheries and pump out as much larve as I can with my queens.
I bought the $10 pass because they haven’t added the ads to them yet. They said they will get the ads up mid-season then offer the $10 upgrade to non ads version at that point

Spoiler
So hyperdub vs Boxer was pretty cool, but I feel it’s a bit overhyped. People keep saying it is the most epic TvT ever and the best game of SC2 they’ve ever seen, but all it seemed like to me was Boxer dragging the game out to make it entertaining when he could have ended it so soon. Good, but overhyped.
no matter how much I play, I always regress to playing a non-tech game when my late game goal should be mass ultras or broods…
Also, I hate playing against protoss. they are annoying in 2v2. they bring out their collusus and its lights out.
It’s funny, as P I feel the opposite, I have a hard time getting to Colossus without dying, and then having the right composition so that my Colossus are actually effective. I get them then mutas swoop in and kill me. If I dont get them then zerglings/roach/hydra own my face.
I know they’re really good I just suck at getting them in a good position
Alright me, that guy and Irennicus are gonna be on for some games, message me if you want in
Okay everyone, ladder is going to be reset either this week or next. In honor of that, I challenge everyone here to off race until the ladder is reset. We can get some off race games in against each other and critique our fellow SRKer’s plays. Message me if you’re in for tonight.
This doesn’t apply to Magnifico because he plays random and is diamond wtf.
WTF? Ladder is resetting? Why? And can I get a source?
Ladder has seasons, and the next season is going to be starting up. I dont have a direct source but it was confirmed at blizzcon and just makes sense logically.
I actually plan to give ladder an actual try next season; I think I have like 9 games total and 5 of those were placement matches
also ggs last night, this was the most epic game we played: Blistering Sands - Irennicus vs. RushDownTV - Replays - SC2Replayed.com
Heres a really cool lesson given from InControl as PvZ, beware its like 2 hours long

Gonna have to apply a lot of this to my own game, a lot of it I already do I think my problem is in the smaller details and not applying what he calls “Shark Mode”
I heard its like $15 per hour for lessons, not too bad at all
