I know it’s not being streamed, but vids damn well better be put up later! Or replays at least.

Send a drone out when you are around 9/10. By the time your drone sees what his plans are then your overlord should be out. If he goes for the zel rush make a spine crawler and mass produce roaches. A you should have a crawler and two roaches before he can rush you with three MAYBE four zels (prob a queen too). To give you and idea how useless lings are to zels, it takes 4 lings to kill one zel AND the last ling will have barely any life left.

Heh, two funny games. I was playing ranked, and got ZvZ two times in a row. First match I decided to be a scumbag and try a cheese build which i’ve never used… it was moderately a success since even though it didn’t succeed, it HELLA delayed his tech and macro. Which was good, because he was clearly an overall better player I think.

Second match, the other player decides to try and scum me out… thank god Scrap station has such a long travel arc for units, I saw the spawning pool and no drones, and acted reflexively. My biggest mistake was after I threw down the spine crawler, I selected all my drones and moved them, and accidentally moved the drone just as it was about to morph.

Warning, both opponents aren’t good, the second one downright scrubby. But I guess the second one is good if you need to defend 6 pool zvz.

I just found it funny that two zvz’s in a row turned out so gimmicky.

I like 6 pool every once and a while, it gives my brain a rest. It also feels good when it works and the other player gets angry about it.

Any of you use the [media=youtube]zBHBsBS__1M"[/media] lay out? It seems helpful, especially if you play random and want more control of the keyboard.

Also, a nice video here on [media=youtube]4suhhh6DbEo"[/media].

Subscribed to that guy. Those videos were very useful! Thanks for posting!

sweet, terran got a siege tank nerf thank god. but they should address marauders too.

too bad toss got nerfed, guess they realized 4 warp gate was too strong. and guess they felt 2 gate opening vs zerg was too strong as well? but what about the 6 pool?

also, is pvp just a boring 2 gate rush fest with gate at 10, and chrono out zealots? i didnt do that against a toss and loss. then i did do that vs a toss and did well, but due to my noobness, i saw a twilight council and my brain didn’t register what that was for until it was too late. i feel i shouldve won that game, hopefully i never lose to DTs again blagh. fail = me. it sounds like the mirror matches are dreadfully boring. zerg mirror is baneling zergling, terran is viking tanks, and toss is zealots.

I agree with fishjie. The marauder is a definite problem for early game play. I’m not sure what made them think the siege tank was more of a problem than him. Marauders are SO OP

waiting the outcome of Slush’s games.
No more zerg in the tourney… -.-

I’m heading out to watch Scott Pilgrim, then play some SF w/ my homeboys/wife spectating. Just in case no one is following, a cool Tournament is LIVE right now. Hopefully, I can get home tonight to play a few with Pimp Will, Irrenicus, and anyone esle who is playing the 1v1/observers (sc.gasm^.^)

I’d be willing to get we’re going to get more out of that splash damage change and the improved path finding than we ever would’ve gotten from just 5 damage.

Also I’m going to be putting av2k’s vent info on the front page and I’m going to start idling there more often.

@corner-trap - sorry i didnt join the game the other day. i want finish campaign mode first and a ton of other things was goin on at the same time.

Im gonna start watching vids by that TTG guy. I need to get the basics down for this game.

Let’s go HUK! Show them what Toss can do!

And yeah, we’ll definitely use vent tonight for our games

Game 2 was awesomely played HuK, KEEP IT UP

Edit: Game 3: FUCK YES show that Terran whats up

Nice Zealot Rush

I really hope a badass toss player takes this. I’m rooting for iNcontrol.
