lol Corran and at the new uniforms.

Anyways guys don't miss the Group of Death tonight with Maru vs Dear vs Soulkey vs some random Protoss.

I wish there was a way to upload replays without having to go through drop.sc

Then I would just link all my recent ones right here.

Maru's games were awesome. The series with Dear was so close.

Didn't manage to watch the end of zest / soulkey, fell asleep. But damn, zergs are dropping left and right at the moment.

Fell asleep before his series vs Dear. That ridiculously early GG against Zest was hilarious, especially when seeing his face when he got caught.

MLG would be cool. I wonder if they'd commit to the full WCS season though. They've been pretty flaky with the SC2 scene. Guessing it'll depend on how well MLG Anaheim goes this summer.

Oh well, he seemed like kind of stealth jerk lately, telling his viewers that they're stupid for asking a question and such.

And yes this game is awesome. Liquid Bunny isn't the same Bunny taht MKP is facing next in pro league is it?

And yes I <3 this game. :3 It has never been better actually.

Anyone playing on laptop and having overheating issues? (HotS campaign)
I capped framerate to 30 and dropped graphics options a bit but still my laptop runs hot, near the auto-shutdown temp.
Didn't have this issue last year with this same laptop.

(HP laptop by the way. And yes, i know they run hot).
EDIT notes: nVidia GPU, cleaned vents but didn't help.

EDIT if it is just me, then my laptop's fan is borked or damaged or underperforming.

EDIT nevermind, issue solved. High Shadows to Medium and the issue is gone. This laptop has kind crappy engineering though, since can't use GPU at 100% without overheating...

SC2 Pro League Event Location

many thanks!

I've started making a map of where my hotels are and pro league and GSL.

i've got it pretty sweet lol. same train line for both GSL and proleague, and my hotels are all right in the middle of the two (one or two train stations to the studios)

so far my schedule of starcraft is this :D (and a few other things im doing!)

18th: Proleague, Jin Air Green Wings vs Prime, MVP v Samsung Galaxy
19th: GSL: sOs vs Zest, Life vs Maru
20th: Panmunjom / DMZ tour!
21st: GSL: Classic/Squirtle/Parting/Rain vs herO, Classic/Squirtle/Parting/Rain vs soO

24th: Proleague: Prime vs KT Rolster, CJ Entus vs MVP

I used to play this game either on ultra or high until the release of HOTS at which point anything above low for everything would make it overheat (and even then team games can still do it). I've tried all the fixes and nothing works. I've just gotten used to low settings.

I'm planning on making my first brand spanking new PC though. Think i'm finally going to commit to going PC only.

Hey thanks, maybe I missed these but I always wonder why tournaments do not make the brackets easier to find online.

Well 3/4th is another very strong finish for TLO. He seems to be in such a strong place these days.

TeamLiquid has made it much more user-friendly. Just check out the home page, look to the right at the events tab and just click on the

icons whenever a tournament is running. :)


jjakji vs TLO 3rd place match on now!

Edit: jjakji definitely looks shaken. TLO embarrassed him in the first 2 1/2 games... then jjakji with a miraculous comeback in Game 3. He might have recollected his mojo!

Started playing SC2 again. I've never been really any good but laddering is really hard now. There is no one at my skill level. I'm currently 0-8 because I keep getting matched against much better players...

What league were you placed in?

You can pretty much win games in Bronze-Gold EZ if you just keep building workers and avoid getting supply blocked.

I was placed in Bronze. I think I need to learn what matches up well against what. My play style is basically, build a fair sized army of whatever i want, then go all in.

Checked my achievements, and rewards.
Rewards are fucked up, "Ghost Kerrigan" shows Stukov and other mismatches. Anyone else have this issue?

Achievements: I have a Feat of Strength, Top 50 1v1 Bronze (obtained/unlocked a few days ago apparently). Was kind of surprised, considering i played only a few matches... last year...

Yeah, definitely find at least one build order specific for each matchup and practice mastering those.

You can post your replays here and anything you might be struggling with. Plenty of people would be happy to help and offer tips. :)

So much for me watching much StarCraft 2 anymore.

All of the games are put up on their youtube channel, and you can watch the full events in their twitch archive if you subscribe.

Worst case scenario, you use the spoiler free SCII sub reddit (even then roleague results are not spoilered on reddit) and watch the vods the next day instead.
