Hold me GAF! I just beat my first Platinum ranked player in 1v1 . At the very least, I don't recall beating a Platinum player before. I know it's probably not a big thing to most of you, but it is to me.
It was a PvZ on Lost Temple and I didn't play it especially well. I went for a forge expand that somehow got muddled into a 3 gate-robo with an additional forge and 2 cannons. That turned out to be great because he sent roaches at me. I held off the initial push pumped some imms and stalkers and then slowly, gradually pushed out. He went mutas and could, I think, have turned the tide but he seemed to be a bit too passive about his macro. By his own admission, my opponent didn't drone well, which I think would have made the difference. Still pumped though
EDIT: HolyCheck, I just started school again, but I'll be free on Wednesday after 8PM PST which is, I believe, 3PM Sydney time. I am aware that Australia has multiple time zones but I don't know which one you're in :lol :lol

This game > everything else. I haven't been this into a games multiplayer since the first Gears of War a couple years back. Best part is SC2 is going to keep going strong for 10+ years, where Gears 2 came out and sucked a big one 2 years after Gears 1.
Getting a couple buddies into it too. Played some co-op against A.I with a friend today since he's really really new and hasn't even beat the campaign yet.
One of the best ways to get buddies into this is showing them something with day9 and he tends to win them over that SC2 is awesome.

Lost at least 5 matches today dude to internet failures. Wtfffff.
I just couldn't stop even though I knew it'd keep going out. :lol I won like 15 matches though.
Should probably invest in a router that isn't like 7 years old though....

Man, pity the poor guy who's going to have to watch all of those.
So I played my 2nd Protoss game yesterday (mind you I have played Zerg 99,999999% of all games, maybe 1000 games since beta).
First game, vs plat terran. Did 4 gate easy win :lol
Next game vs diamond zerg, 4 gate easy win and I fucked up several times... killed all my attacking units... :lol :lol

I know man! I practice casted a game and felt I did reasonably well. I'm upgrading my comp so I can actually record at 720 without the game choking on me. But now I am partly employed so I come home actually tired. Feels bad man.ChronicleX said:
Because macro is easy mode and FF are imba.

Yeah 4gate kinda beats most people since they just do not make units or build defences well. However same goes for the 7RR. You can win every PvP at the lower levels (and I mean EVERY) just by making sure your warp gate finishes first. :lol
I REALLY hate FF. I have always felt the race has been balance around that skill instead of the skill around the race. It really pisses me off since crutch use of that skill is what makes or breaks a good toss.
I do my best most games to avoid making a single one, I hate them that much! :lol Also nothing stops you from casting at a lower res. If its good people will still watch it. The alternate is to get into a game as an obs and cast that, then you can give someone the replay and have them record your camera so they can do the footage for you.

I've updated the main tournament post with the latest registarants and confirmed and declined invites since I left for work and got back.
So as of this post we have 7 of 8 confirmed invites to show up to our first major GAF tournament of 2011! (Sorry to see Vaporak leave this one, maybe next time!)
To promote the tournament as well as get it out to the world to see, we have many interesting propositions pouring in through Mumble and PMs, here are a few tidbits...
-I will be posting tournament information on various sites including possibly Reddit and TeamLiquid.
-Many posters and friends of posters have mentioned wanting to cast the GAF Invitational including friends of Spl1nter, Scogoth and Caderyn, Keikaku and HolyCheck, as well as Hazaro(?).
-I will be streaming from Ro8 and on, Corran Horn will almost definitely stream everything.
-As always Pandaman has planned to give away a 'Moe Queen' mouse pad to the king of the tourney.
-Since we have more than 16 players total willing to play, I will be hosting Bo1 qualifiers for the lowest seeded players, winners get into the brackets.
-Brackets will be seeded by ladder score.
-Remember that anyone can be a registrant as long as they are in SEA or NA. (Sorry EU!)
-Finally, 1.2 will be out by the time the tournament begins, so get in that practice with the new patch!
GO GO NEOGAF
