Arg I want to but I'm trying to finish editing this video for my job. After I'm done I'll see if you still want to play. (I'm bronze too)
Nice, do I have you on my list?

Edit: I do if you're XMrMister

I raged. Full of retarded players in the 2v2.

I did so much harrass and control with my lings and my partner does nothing but build mutas. I told him that the opponents were mass viking and hydras, but he goes and makes corrupters and broodlords.

Jesus christ!

I play in 2v2 and have no idea what any of those words mean. :lol :lol

I do the same thing each time, and even if you were to tell me what the enemy was up to, I would still be clueless.

I need a flow chart or some shit. At the very least a practice mode for me to try stuff out against the AI.

Just click create game (which is not ladder based) and then click 1v1 and change the open slot to computer. it is only very easy, but you can at least try out your builds and get your timing down.

If your 6 pool lings eventually die off after raping their mineral line, roll on the floor and die laughing as 95% of zerg enemies/enemy teammates think you are vulnerable and send 20 zerglings to their utter doom​

Hobart, I thought you wanted to play. Where'd you go?

Yah bro, my bad. Had to log quickly because I forgot I had to be somewhere (Hockey tonight!). So between the quick laundry I had to do... and getting my shit together... I just logged quickly. We'll roll some 2s soon tho.

I wanted to finish my tourney match this evening with Ice Monkey... but I didn't see him when I logged in tonight. I'm away from my PC at the moment... so... hopefully he sees this and we can do this at some point? Dunno. Dun look like we'll get it in :(

Looks like he could have ended the game if he attacked after surrounding

It was me, and the game ended seconds after that. His probes and units all went down and I still had plenty of lings to eat his buildings. Without even sending additional units from my base.
 
Cheeto and I just finished our 2v2 placement matches. We were 4-1 and got placed in silver. One of our games was extremely close on Lost Temple, both Cheeto and I were Zerg, while our opponents were Zerg and Terran. After some minor back and forth battles, we made a push on the Zerg's natural expo, and ended up rolling through taking out the Zerg. At the same time, the Terran dropped into Cheeto's base and took it out, and with my natural expansion destroyed and my only army being a handful of Mutas, I decided to quickly research overlord transport and sneak away to the island corner to expand. By this point the Zerg left, but his teammate stubbornly stays with his moderately sized marine/tank/medivac army.

After destroying his island expansion with my Mutas and expanding a second time to the gold expansion, the Terran ends up dropping into my island expansion. I hurry my Mutas back, destroy his medivacs and fly away, leaving his army completely stranded (I had already destroyed his starports and half of his base so there was no getting off of that island :lol :lol) He stayed in the game until I destroyed every one of his damn buildings, he must have been pissed when I took his medivacs out and just flew away.

3 broodlords + 12 corrupters vs 40 hydras + 20 vikings

well do 3 broodlords and 12 corruptors cost the same as 20 hydras and 10 vikings?

all i was saying is that the unit choice seemed to make sense for me. if he sucked at economy and was just feeding his units to the other team, thats another issue entirely.

So I transfered the Starcraft 2 install folder to a thumbdrive (I use net cafes to play).

There are 4 icons in that folder.

1. Installer.exe
2. Installer Tome 1.MPQ
3. Installer UI 1.MPQ
4. Installer UI 2.MPQ

Cant figure out how to run/install it now...

If I download it again from battle.net it will take 7 hours!

Oh yeah, he wasted a lot on mutas vs vikings earlier.

That's what I have. Just run the .exe and it should work.

So the problem isn't the unit mix, which you scoffed at... but the fact that he kept making mutas for too long?

But what would have been a more appropriate counter anyway?

Hydra's of your own? But you're talking about 1 v 2 opponents. What did you make to counter the viking/hydra army?

Banelings.

I decimated half of the opponent's armies with banelings. :lol

An Ultralisk follow up would have been more effective, or else counter with more hydralisks+roaches.
