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?
When I took a powernap at work today, I dreamt of a new race and it was a huge surprise to everyone.. It was OP as fuck.
But still lost to zerg.

The HOTS C.E is now sold out at amazon, here's hoping my Bestbuy local in-store pickup will pull through! During the Diablo 3 midnight launch they gave handed out D3 posters, they will most likely do the same for the HOTS BB Midnight launch!

Is anyone buying the game from gamestop if so I have a $10 off coupon from my powerup rewards. I have 2 actually but I'm using 1 of them. I'll sell for $5 if anyone is interested and I can just email it to you. Just PM me.

Hmmm, powernap sounds great. Need to pull a George Constanza and sneak one in under the desk.

So I've been meaning to first time play the Starcraft 1 campaign (via this mod) and the Wings of Liberty campaign before Heart of the Swarm drops, roughly how many hours of play would that take? Should I just put off HOTS campaign for a few days and dig into multi?

How experienced are you with RTS games? It also depends on what difficulty you choose for SC2. For SC2 i'd say you could do it in around 10 hours. SC1 + BW takes longer than that and it is harder than SC2's campaign, in fact if you haven't played many RTS's the campaign can be fairly hard to win at all.

It would be hard to do before HOTS unless you have a decent bit of time.

Brutal is harder than SC1 + BW's campaign.

Well that's your opinion. I found brutal to be pretty easy really :/. The last few campaign missions in BW were much harder IMO.

Meh, you just need to spam hydras off of a couple of hatches to win the last zerg mission in BW. I found All In and the optional final protoss mission much harder.

So I get this for free right? Because a lot of the improvements should have come for free years ago instead of charged money for.

I'm so glad people get to pay for global play.

Pro players are starting to complain on twitter again about balance. Feels like 2010 all over again. A lot of games are really awkward to watch again. Like you can tell we have many months before players really figure the game out and it's meta expands. Awkward GSL finals incoming!!!

Personally at the moment I dont really care, a lot of the IEM games have been more interesting to watch than most of the balanced WoL stuff the past year.

Are most people who are part of the NeoGAF group in Master league? It's kinda intimidating, heh.
Click to expand...

i think atm, its only EscapingJail and striek.

I've stopped playing, i don't know if Shake or any other master player still plays.

i'd say most players turn around gold to diamond. Could be wrong haha

Hm, maybe I just keep checking their profiles and then freaking out about how I'm part of a group that's out of my league. I was master back when I played regularly a few months ago but I'm pretty cemented in diamond now.

Well my NA acc is currently in silver and I think I'm in the group too. My main (EU) is diamond though, so I'm not master either.

Grew up with RTSes, though me actually trying to be any good at them is more a recent development. Thanks for the info! May just take my time with them and hop into Swarm's campaign once I'm done with WoL's.

Anyone got some must-watch heart of the swarm videos about how the new units will effect playstyles in heart of the swarm? Some new builds by pros maybe?

Haha (not a new unit)

I don't really have anything right now, but I've been watching a lot of Husky's HotS casts. There was one specific video that made it seem that a Swarm Host rush would act like an anti FFE in a ZvP.

Certain match^s at least fleshed out a bit in 2011 and 12. 2010 was by far the worst though and I'm a little worried how good the next GSL is gonna be. Either way finals on tonight, RIP WOL.
