Anyone else think it's weird that the only male in the room is the only one with a vagina for a mouth?
Poor? No. Cheap? Yes.
Machine is probably on the team for just the cost of room and board.
Puma was probably being paid like $50,000 (my guess given that his salary is a big drain on EG) after his good first year and just couldn't perform to justify his continued cost. It sounds like EG wanted to cut his salary and send him to more foreigner events (where he can win against non-Koreans) but that wasn't agreeable to Puma.

I am new to Zerg so I want to make sure I understand - are you simply referring to making multiple hatcheries and hotkeying them?
Pretty much yeah.

Anyone else notice NeoGAF Overlord EviLore in the Collector's Edition DVD?
I'll upload a pic later.

Taking the available expansion ASAP and adding a macro hatch or two is basically how to win in Brutal.
On the first map after building a Queen and not being able to Inject, I was at a bit of a loss as to how to get more larvae. Took me about 30 seconds to remember that, before Queens, people just built tons of Hatcheries in SC1.
Always get more Hatcheries. The larvae cap per hatch is pretty low, and minerals are free-flowing.

Why did they remove larva inject from the campaign? Did they ever comment on that?
Probably to make the campaign easier for noobs
^to make it more fun for everyone
The bigger question is why they didn't remove it from the rest of the game!
Zergs dying to early mothership core harass 'cause they only know how to double hatch into 60 drones :|

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I do however LOVE the new menu music... I always hated the two/three songs in WoL - but the current one that starts with a bang reminds me of WoW/D3.

They have stephano now who plays the role as a foreigner hope that interacts with fans and as an actually competent player
I can't imagine playing on Brutal without ling reconstitution. Bases and larvae are at a premium in a bunch of missions, and it helps with both.

how so?Yoshichan said:
I wish they had that feature for the WoL campaign. It sucks that it's all behind a loading screen wall unlike HotS.
Emphasis mine.
I donno, he was pretty standoffish and aloof when I saw him at the Red Bull Invitational in Austin last year. Could be because he lost, but he tried to leave the event quietly, and didn't want to really engage fans or anything.

WTF, EviLore is immortalized
Is that emote the same face you're making in Photo #2?
after amazon and dhl completely botching the delivery i went out and bought a copy in a retail store. now i have to download the english client 
korean version seems extremely cheap (36000 won) but i wanted to have a boxed copy.
but does idra do that?

Players aren't allowed to some privacy every now and then? People aren't allowed to duck out and not want to have to deal with people?
These guys interact with fans pretty much every day all day and sometimes they just want to duck out, sports players do it so who really cares? They don't have to do all this interaction, they don't owe any of us anything.
? I wasn't offended, and didn't approach him. Just watched from nearby as he was trying to make his exit.
When someone is described as "interacts with fans", that to me means a high degree of approachability and interaction. The barest interaction should not really count. But I didn't have any expectations of anyone present; I'm just reporting what I saw.
The total opposite -- that night, at least -- was Day9. That guy stayed until he met with every single person that wanted to meet and talk to him, well into 2am in the morning. The friend I was with (and with whom I was crashing) wanted to see him, so we stuck around.
Otherwise, I would have left after the event was over.
Still doesn't mean that switch has to be on 24/7.
It's like wrestling/sports stars. Highly interactive with fans but sometimes they want to dip out and just relax.
There's just one guy at Blizzard designing boss fights and boy is he busy.
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Or not. I'm like 90% sure one of the fights is simple a re-skin with near identical mechanics to D3 spoiler:
Belial
How exactly does that contradict what I said as my singular experience with him at an event last year?
Instead of "he had an off night", you were saying "he's entitled to some privacy".
And the short of the answer is no. As a public figure in this community, he doesn't have much privacy with regard to his professional sphere (SC2). We should respect his privacy and give him space, but there isn't any real expectation of it, because it's different for public individuals.
Unranked, never expect normal games:

It's okay. I've figured out the SC2 metaplot.
By writing in yet another ancient-evil-more-powerful-than-anything-the-universe-knows, Blizzard was stuck in a corner.
To rectify that, WoL decided that Raynor and Kerrigan are in love.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
Kerrigan will defeat Amon through the power of love.
Zeratul's entire quest in LoV will just serve to reunite Raynor and Kerrigan at the last possible moment.

Why do you feel the need to exaggerate and lie to slander professional players? Did you just get into eSports six months ago, or just willfully ignorant? How quickly we forget. I don't even feel the need to copy/paste each player's tournament results throughout their entire career, because the statement is just so ridiculous.
Incontrol means more to sponsors than Puma ever did. Professional teams can't exist without sponsorship. Sorry if you don't like it, but you don't get to decide how teams run their business.
I am 100% sure that the promotional and advertisement videos that IdrA, Incontrol, and Machine produce (along with many others) are far more beneficial financially than winning even a GSL Code S and certainly substantially less effort/luck.
Otherwise Incontrol wouldn't have been the team captain of Evil Geniuses three years running. Have you ever thought about what the role of a team captain is aside from actually playing the game in competitions? What he means to the other members of his team?
I finished Zerus last night. I liked the second mission. Final mission not so much.
I really want to start playing multi again but I feel like I'm so far off being remotely able to keep up that it'll be in vain. In SC2 I was only silver league, pretty close to gold. But it's been so long I think I'll be at the bottom of bronze.

The twist is he isn't male...or female...it's just...the brain from starship troopers!!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Bottom bronze is now 8% (from 20%) btw, so I think you'll definitely make silver at least!

Isn't the pool of players for both ranked and unranked combined? I hope it stays that way. I don't want unranked to be swarmed with trolls, which would be inevitable if its separated from ranked.
They are, but they search for unranked first

You say that jokingly, but I'm still going to facepalm when
the defeat of Amon returns Kerrigan to her TRUE FORM so she and Raynor can walk into the sunset together. That will be the closing shot of LOTV.

My biggest issue with the ending of WoL was the fact that it ended with
a sunset.
HotS ending spoilers:
I got even more mad when I realized they did the exact same shit for this game.

It always needs to end that way. IT'S LIKE POETRY.
But then it turns out that the sun is the real MOST POWERFUL VILLAIN WE'VE EVER FACED so everyone will team up and fight it in Starcraft 3.
