awesome thanks, I’ll check it out
YouTube - maxijazzeee’s Channel
GSL VODs in 720p (Korea HD Only) with English casting
Fo freeeee
Such a shame that the quality on that YT channel shits on the $20 VODs
but you dont get to listen to tastless and artosis! they may not be the best observers but I’ll take entertainment over anything for now.
btw quote from Flash regarding SC2
whenever he decides to come its gonna be the day people will REALLY call Terran imba. unless he switches for some reason.
Holy shit this is amazing. But how long will it last?
forgenjuro: These do have the English casting. It’s just the Korean HD vod since those were better quality than the English HD. The best of both worlds.
It’s funny but I’d rather watch a lower quality VOD with english hud than a higher quality one with korean hud, even with the english commentary dubbed over. I just can’t seem to get over it. I really hope GomTV ups their VODs to high quality because I’m on the fence right now about spending another $20 for season 2. And they were fucking insane if they thought I was spending $50 for what they’re giving
I blame Activision for everything shitty about GomTV.
Word. I paid for the $20 season pass myself, but it’s really wack how it’s not even in HQ quality, it’s straight up LQ.
That YouTube channel has been up for a while now, but they don’t seem to have every match. Kinda funny though, since it’s the Korean stream with Tasteless and Artosis dubbed over. Especially when the Koreans are talking.

Anything going on tonight? It’s my first free saturday.
Also made it into platinum finally. Although my final win before the promotion was right after the game threw 3 diamond players at me in a row lol. I lost to all of them mainly because I didn’t expect them to be diamond. I hope blizzard patches in something so we can see what division our opponent is in as we’re loading the game. The game pitted me against a diamond protoss player and yet the game told me the match was even… YEAH RIGHT.
I was thinking about that the other day. It would be good to see what rank your opponent is, but at the same time if you are a lower rank and see a plat/diamond player, I think it would effect you psychologically. I think its more satisfying beating someone, checking their rank and saying “How did they get diamond with that many points?”
Im gonna be on in a bit for some games, once Im done with dinner
Also, don’t put much stock into ratings. Your behind the scenes number (i.e. what blizzard THINKS your skill level is at) is used to rate you for matches. So if you’re playing diamonds, it thinks you should be at diamond level and its testing you (so put more games in to get your visible rating higher) or that those diamonds are lower and are testing them versus platinum in the opposite situation. If its even, thats what it means; your visible rank has 0 to do with matches being even or favored
I’m on SC2 if anyone wants to get some casuals in. I’ll probably be messing with Terran.
Here are some changes I would like to see for Zerg in the next patch.
Zergling- Decrease their attack cool down.
Spine Crawler- Decrease their build time by 10 and their root time by 2.
*Both of those changes are to help Zerg during the early game. They’re already forced to be on the defensive so they should at least be able to defend themselves instead of being harassed to death.
Roach- Increase armor by 1 and decrease supply by 1 and damage by 4.
*Usually after the Zerg picks their transitional unit between Hydralisk or Mutalisk, they’ll tech back down to either Roach or Baneling after scouting their opponent in preparation for a possibly push. If a Zerg techs down to Roach then that means they need a tank to absorb damage while the real damage dealers (Zergling/Hydralisk or Mutalisk) are safe. Those 2 armor means Siege Tanks will take 4 shots instead of 3 to kill a Roach which is a huge difference. I suggested the 1 supply since Roaches are mostly produced in response to an incoming push and it will make them easier to mass quickly to defend, also the Zerg needs a 1 supply unit to feel more like a swarm. The 4 less damage is to compensate for the buffs.
Ultralisk- Make the character model smaller and remove the building attack.
*Simply put Ultralisks are just too damn big. Considering that so many maps have narrow passages this becomes problematic. Sure they look badass but functionally it’s a bad design. Also the building attack is pointless since the damage is pretty much the same as it’s normal attack, less so against tightly packed buildings since it doesn’t have splash damage.
Comments?
EDIT:
Clarified the Zergling and Roach changes.
I thought that Blizz was already removing the ram attack on Ultras and changing the damage split on its normal attack. As far as roaches being 1 supply… wasn’t it already like that in the Beta and was pretty imba?
They weren’t necessarily imba since players were complaining about how weak Z was even in the beta. Although they were definitely strong, but that was a combination of their ridiculous healing along with 2 base armor and 1 supply, that allowed Z to mass an army that absorbed ridiculous amounts of damage. With the regeneration toned down armor value decreased and supply raised it kind of removed the roaches role in the Z army. With the changes I suggested the roach can be brought back as a tank unit that you could quickly mass to defend against an incoming push, and with the damage nerf Z players won’t be able to just mass them up as a stand alone army because the DPS would be to low. Also instead of raising the hit points by 5 the armor value could just be returned to 2, they’re interchangeable in this case.
I want to get this game, but I feel like I will be useless. I only played a few games of the first SC. I like RTS games, but just never got into them.
Should I even bother? I would hate to just get fucked every damn time I go online.
Without question, you should get it. Blizzard did a decent job in segregating the skill level of players into different leagues. From low to high level competition, there’s bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond league. Given that you haven’t played in a while, you will most likely be placed into bronze league. It’s fun that way, and you can also be promoted/demoted to a league depending on your gameplay results.
Also, you can join a non-league game (custom) and play people of all levels. Playing 1v1/2v2 LT and your sure to play some Plats/Diamonds. As is right now, I’m in silver league and enjoy the game. I wish that Zerg play was a bit better, but in time, they will probably fix/balance the game with patches, etc. The only thing I hate is that the game is a bit buggy at times, but not sure if that’s because of my computer or not…

You know, one of the guys in this thread made an interesting comment on Zerg Creep. Basically, it makes no sense that an enemy unit can travel at same speed on/off creep. For example, why is it that a helion (a vehicle w/ tires) or a tank can move at same speed when they are on creep as when off it. Wouldn’t it makes sense for there to be some sort of penalty? As is, the creep mechanic is more of a hindrance to Zerg players. Just my 2 cents…
For you I would wait for a price drop. Buying a game for the full $60 just doesn’t make sense unless you REALLY like the game and have friends who have bought it already. I sort of feel bad about buying it at full price myself just because it’s obviously a huge ripoff.
I think that was in the Losira / TLO ZvT match that Tastless or Artosis (I think Tastless) mentions something like that jokingly. I’m really sad Losira is out. That was pretty insane in game 1 defending against TLO’s Hellion pushes in the early part of the match.
As far as interchanging 5 hp and 2 armor, I think 2 armor would be way better than just an additional 5 hp. That’s a lot more hits for units like Marines / Zealots / Stalkers to shoot than an additional 5 hp. Coupled with burrow that might be a little crazy. It doesn’t do much good against Marauders / Immortals / Tanks though.
I’m not saying it wouldn’t be balanced, but don’t you think this would be over the top especially once you get metabolic boost?
I would love to see this change and in the beta spines took like 6 seconds less to root and 15 seconds less to build. It wasn’t problematic for any match except the mirror match. Zergs getting quick spine crawlers on other people’s creep made for some really degenerative early zvz play.
I agree with this 100%.
