Thats what i thought, but I'm pretty sure i didn't hear it. Maybe it got lost in the shuffle of everything else, as in the giant fights, but whatever.Kenak said:

Only time I have had nukes come down on me I didn't hear/see anything because I was in the middle of a fight. Only reason I was able to dodge my probes out of the way was because I happened to go back to the base for a moment to queue up pylons and saw a red dot on my nexus. :lol
Also not everyone plays with sound, so they need a better visual cue IMO. (I can't stand playing without sound, but I have a friend that almost always has his off so he can watch TV)

Any good recent narrated replays I should watch?
HDStarCraft is a pretty good source but there are so many out there, I want to watch a quality match!
(only matches including Terran, please)

SC2GGRise is commentating a few SC2 games, if you want to check him out on YouTube. I'm not sure who else from SC2GG is commentating, but everyone from there is great. Also, look around on TeamLiquid, I'm seeing quite a few commentaries there, though i can't think of any in specifics.The Lamonster said:

Wow..nilbog21 said:woot made top 8, still not realy sure wat this means
prob only 2 of those games were actually good D;
Your #1 is 1483?
Me and DeltronZero have like 200-300 more pts then that and we arent top 10 in our division :lol
So buying a key goes ok and selling one is deemed condemnable...whatever, point is, since all the friend invite keys seem to be all over the place now on ebay, the prize for one key got so inflated by the amount of supply that is has gone withing one week from 90 down to 40. Market rules apply here as always...
So, back on topic: If i wanna go cheap and fast, should i gonna go for speedlings/banelings or just go straight hydra-massing to be able to counter air units? Or avoid hyrda build totally and complement zerklings with mutalisks?
Still have to learn all the zerg units as i havent played much yet.
I remember how i once messed around with my brother many years ago when i played with him for the first time on a huge air map consisting of only many little islands. What did i do? Well, build a mass fleet of terrors and occupied almost all islands with them. Air superiority³. Literally the whole air was contaminated with terrors pushing him back to his little home island to economically die a slow death and dry out. Man, that was funny and i felt dirty.
But the next time we did such a map he leaned his lesson...

Is there a hotkey to do the Terran scanner sweep with the Orbital Command?

Congrats you took 1 persons post and assumed that was the mutual feeling across everyone?Shred0r said:
Shred0r said:
why are you bitter? did you get banned for trying to sell on gaf or something..
anyway I almost broke down and bought a key twice.. but I was still hesitant to pull the trigger because of some principles I guess. But when I think about the time I waste watching youtube videos and reading discussions about game play when I could actually be playing.. I wonder if I'm being stubborn and should pay up ahh well..
If you hover on anything it will tell you the hotkey.The Lamonster said:
New divisions are being made as more players get into plat since there can only be 100 per division. So all the higher # division are newer players.TurtleSnatcher said:
*Anyone considering buying a key for ~$50 USD (Use american ebay for lower prices if you can, or craigslist) I'd say go for it if you really care about the game. Really really care. Like I do.
That's actually really tempting =X If I actually had a decent computer up and running I'd probably do it.Hazaro said:*Anyone considering buying a key for ~$50 USD (Use american ebay for lower prices if you can, or craigslist) I'd say go for it if you really care about the game.

Nah you are good in 2v2.mint said:
Honestly it all goes by the partner. If each other can communicate well and support eachother in varying roles. Thats what Deltron and I do!
I've had enough of mint's yelling at me so I'm ordering a new PC this week any input? Current plan is here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20390816&postcount=4590
so... has anyone had much experience using the sensor tower? you can get it fairly early once the engineering bay is up, but is it worth spending 125 minerals and 100 gas on a sensor tower so early in the game?
and if it's not worth getting early game, can it be justified mid or late game when your units should be out on the battlefield seeing what's going on anyway?
does it get much use? i'm having trouble finding a use for it.

I'm gonna be the opposite, I got placed in silver(1v1) but the way things are going I'm gonna drop to bronze!
Seems like I've been favored every match since I got placed into silver even though I've lost most of the time. =_=
7-3 in placements, and now I'm 12-12 overall. Why does it keep favoring me! Bah!
How you guys doing in 1v1?

Can't, stuck at work. :-(
One more night after tonight and I will be free until next saturday.
i have discovered definitive proof that mint can read minds.
panda: hey look, forces in mid! epica!
mint: lol.
panda: im gonna drop on mint, im gonna drop on mint!
mint: foolish panda, i can see the code. I am the one!
panda: lets gogogo!
mint: Je ne pense pas.
Mint: i'm in my base, waitin to kill your doods.
panda: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
panda: but sentrys would be visible on the map and i dont see em... oh fuck mint is in my head! GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES!
to sum it up, mint scouted and countered a drop without ever scouting my base, seeing the dropships, scanning or building a sentry tower. the man is psychic. in image form:

Wait, you love Protoss or Terran?Kodiak said:im really falling in love with terran. its amazing how poorly people are able to handle early collosi which leads to lots of crispy marines and lings.
and then void ray cheese and proxy pylons. oh this is my game of forever.
Finally finished my 1v1 placement matches tonight. Got placed into Bronze. Had a three losses in a row that taught me a very valuable lesson. If you think your opponent is teching up, don't try some sort of hybrid of teching and massing basic units. Your opponent will beat you to the higher tiers and he'll bring a hailstorm of whoopass onto your position.
Also, don't try to marine rush a Terran.
