Maybe someone will enjoy 15 minutes of bronze league lot spam, but that's not all there is, it actually was an entertaining game

Stealing your opponent's gas isn't exactly new, and in SC2 it's normally pretty dumb considering there are two geysers. However, gas is especially essential in PvZ so it hurts to have a geyser stolen in that matchup. That said, you have to be pretty retarded to let your opponent take both your geysers (unless you a proxying them or something to that effect).
Regarding whoever asked about 2v2 on the last page: FE is, in most situations, a terrible idea in 2v2 of course. It's not something that should be complained about; rather it should be common sense given that by doing so you're creating a liability on the field that would be difficult to defend against a timing attack from one opponent and nearly impossible to defend against a timing attack from two. If you're going for a speedling build though, you can plop down an extra hatchery safely fairly early on. However, an 11 hatch is never a good idea. The whole point of a FE is to bolster your economy, and the 11 hatch is so early that it just hurts yours and also sets your tech (i.e. spawn pool) back ridiculously long since you only have 10 drones mining.

I just got in the SC2 MPQs and I've successfully been able to pull the texture files out. This includes the textures for the interface. Now I can make the official thread with Terran UI elements very easily in Photoshop!

I used Ladik's MPQ Editor myself. I don't know if it's the best one, but it worked. You'll want to look in the base.SC2Assets file. In addition to the game's textures, you can easily pull out the music and sound files if that suits your fancy. The models are a much bigger task, and beyond my capabilities.
You can get IrfanView from HERE. I actually normally use it for viewing images and doing basic editing. Cropping, resizing, brightness, that kind of stuff.
The plugin you need to view the DDS files and convert them is HERE. Look for Formats.dll and put it in the plugins folder for irfanview once it's installed. From there, you can open the files like any normal image.

i got cannon rushed for the first time today. it made me rage like no other. some cannons at the ramp so i couldnt leave. then he slowly started creeping towards my base and made it so i cant build on one of my gasses as zerg. eventually put out some spine crawlers, but i was way too slow in doing that. it was a 2v2 game and somehow i made it to brood lords and cleared it out, but it was too late. so fucking ridiculous.

Blizzard REALLY needs to implement a server wide ranking system so people know how they stand. #1 platinum in division 5 could be way better than #1 platinum in division 40, but we'll never know without a proper global ranking system.
Also, Blizzard needs to implement a way to play on different continental servers. It would be awful if US players could never play with EU or Asia players, it would horribly fracture the community.
