Zomg I actually beat someone. Only took me doing my highest APM ever (only 72) but still.

72 APM? You could easily get to diamond with that. Most bronze players i've seen are lucky to have 20 in a regular game.

Edit: I don't mean that in a bad way. I think once you learn a bit more about the game you will fly up the ladder.

 

[Yoshichan]

Nestea, so godlike.

 

[Aylinato]

Zealots are overpowered piece of shit units

Just like every protoss unit

And every protoss player

Just build Thor's, or hellions, or hellbats, or battlecruisers, or banshees, or ravens, or Vikings, or marines, or marauders, or snipers, or tanks, or widow mines.

That's a great way. If you want to get demolished as a terran.

 

[Holden]

i heard building only marines is pretty good

ALL replays from WCS Season 1 and Season 2

WCS Now Supports GGTracker Analytics

VOD viewers on the WCS Portal are now able to access these analytics, and even use them to skip directly to battles, dive into game details, and get the inside track on how the pros play.

Pretty cool.

 

[Yoshichan]

How come gold players have 160-180 apm nowadays? Only smurfs play SC2?

I have 120 APM on average and Im between silver/gold.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Is the HotS APM tracker still broken?

 

[Yoshichan]

Is the HotS APM tracker still broken?

Nope.

I have 120 APM on average and Im between silver/gold.

Back in the days, gold/plat had like 80APM max. SC2 only catering to hardcore nowadays :/

 

[unknownstranger]

Fuck Terran. Dropping in my natural and 3rd while blind scanning my 4th and 5th on the other side of the map.

God I'm the worst player ever. Doing higher APM than almost everyone I face but still lose.

I'm a douche coach though. Ask tashi. My coaching style is to destroy you in every game we play then laugh.

 

[Tashi]

Just met Select at PAX. Cool guy. Apparently DeMusliM is here. Didn't get a chance to meet him yet.

There's a lot in there that's useful for moderate and experienced SCII gamers as well. A lot of people develop bad habits or never learn the good ones in the first place. Any SCII gamer should read this.

demolishing you mean.

Not early game chargelot timings. You're going to get skull fucked bothering to build thors and the like.

Going to a friends place (yet another party) but I'm taking my laptop with me so I'll be able to play whenever I hook it up. Dunno when the party starts though, but it should be in a couple of hours. Hopefully you can play then! I'll be on Skype and also post here.

hyvaa retires and gives up GSL (Ref: his facebook)

From : http://www.inven.co.kr/webzine/news/?news=62953&iskin=esports

Soul makes combination with Quantic Gaming to participate in GSTL.

hyvaa retiring is the best news to come out of this.

QuanticSoul should be be fun in GSTL but from the sound of it, who are they gonna have left on the roster?

 

[Yoshichan]

Profit, I can play in like an hour ! You?

 

[peakish]

hyvaa retiring is the best news to come out of this.

LOL

Khan could have used this opportunity to pick up Classic as a Jangbi replacement. Though he could never fill the hole left in my heart

 

[Deadman]

Looks like lots of changes

Alex Kim ‏@supernovamaniac 8m

I'm going to translate what I just got on my personal twitter feed.

Woongjin's still up in the air, Soul -> GSTL (confirmed), Bisu retires, KeSPA SC2 teams downsized to 5~6 people

They're preparing for LoL finals, and upcoming SC2 Proleague maybe its last.

IM Prime MVP out of eSF (ALL OF THESE ARE RUMORS BTW). IM working with KeSPA to get LG to sponsor.

MVP is going to hand over the LoL team to Khan, SC2 team is going to disband, and Prime is hoping that they'll pick up sponsor through KeSPA

Disclaimer: The eSF/KeSPA rumor comes from one tweet that includes some rumors/facts that have been stated before.

Bisu rumor seen on few places, Stork is NOT retiring for sure (image proof provided somewhere), or at least, staying with KHAN for sure.

https://twitter.com/supernovamaniac

 

[SamuraiX-]

Bisu... ;_;

Would suck so hard if MVP disbanded. :-/

LG-IM potentially joining Proleague would be amazing though.

 

[Yoshichan]

Not Bisu please

I knew about a bunch of these before but still, god damn

 

[Corran Horn]

Thanks Blizzard

 

[Yoshichan]

Yeah, thanks Blizzard for giving both the colossus and the high templar to protoss. What a great idea.

Fucking morons.

 

[celestial body]

Been inevitable for a long time now. When you had 7 people turn up to those early SPL matches and half of them were asleep you could say the writing was somewhat on the wall...

 

[Crimsonlink]

Fuck! The people that get Prime players except Byun is in for a treat. But I hope Prime gets new sponsorship! Maybe 2014 will be the year of SC2 with WCS getting a better format.
