I am usually not a fan of these gimmicky plays, but man, Kiwikaki is really, really good.

Is anyone planning to make a thread for the IEM European Finals in Kiev? (20.01 - 23.01)
Prize pool is $18.000 ($7.500 for the winner)
Players:
Also certain to be one of the tournaments Gom is looking at to determine Code A GSL invites, so it should be interesting to watch

Wow, that was pretty sick. Also, archon toilet is the best name for a play, ever.Deadman said:

zvz isn't that bad.
and yeah, destiny's infestor play is ridic awesome
and that zerg doesnt have the ranged units needed to take advantage of such splits.Cheeto said:
a fungle will only result in a split if you had a strong army advantage already[hydra/shit ton more roaches] and he has to retreat. otherwise he just sits it out and only takes the damage. forcefields are great because stalkers and colossus have excellent range. they can full on engage half an army while the otherhalf sits it out a few feet away. in roach versus roach that isn't an issue. if two of your roaches can shoot at him, two of his can shoot at you.
which brings us to advantage 2 of forcefields: delaying fights you cant win, outside of a thin ramp, fungal cannot do this. fungal has to hit units and units ability to act as a wall is completely dependent on how those units are positioned when they attack you [and the density of the area you fungal, also out of your control]. its not just something you can throw up at empty space and be okay with.
in roach versus roach, you don't go fungal to kill roaches, you go fungal because you think your opponent did something sneaky and that's why he's losing the roach vs roach war.
if you have hydra, thats a completely different story as hydra/infestor will rape and pillage zerg, but you were specifically talking about one base roach/infestor.
its amazing and one of the best tools zerg has, but in roach vs roach, lolz, no.

Feel like breaking something. I've run into a multitude of 4-gate toss rushes and can't handle it at fucking all. Sure sometimes I hold it off but overall I haven't found a decent strat. I experimented with +1 speedlings and a few spinecrawlers earlier today. Failed miserably. Roach can hold it off for a bit, but it can stifle your early economy.
And of course yesterday Splinter annihilated me in embarrassing fashion lmao. God dammit. I started building an Evo Chamber in front of the spines, which can provide a nice buffer against Zealots (saw it in HDStarCraft's 4 gate video).
I've been working on catching the probe before it puts down the pylon, but a good toss will simply bring a couple units along to babysit it.

outside of a ramp, then his opponent was poorly informed. its not uncommon for good players to have a poor understanding of some aspects of the game. especially in situations that are uncommon.Cheeto said:
the only tactical advnatgae to fungal in roach vs roach vs roach is the damage.
the same amount of units shoot each other in fungal situations or not unless the fungaled zerg doesn't know that they do.
I still have to disagree, 2-3 good fungals on a roach ball allows the fungaler to dictate where he can arc from, effectively cutting the opposing army in half... and the opponent can't retreat because he'll lose too many units and he can't really engage with his whole army, much like what happens when you're victim to force fields. And thats basically what he did... in the open field he hit the giant roach ball with 2 fungals, lets say east and west, he then maneuvered his small army of roaches north or south to engage. Then he kept them fungaled for as long as possible until he ran out of energy but by that time the army was pretty much wasted.

Down in the bronzies, everybody is still trying to void ray rush. On scrap station I just throw about 5 marines to the edge of my platform and typically 3-4 void rays come in and I stim and chase them away or take them down. Last 3 scrap station matches they've done this to me and it's failed each time.
And yeah, lots of marine rushes.
This is poor video quality, but it's pretty funny. It was a 2v2 and the other two guys were so focused on getting their marines out for a double 5 rax push that they didn't notice my SCV sneak off and build bunkers in their natural. When the rush failed and they realized that they'd never get out of their main they rage quit.

Pretty funny stuff. And yes, I know this isn't the greatest play, but it is amusing for all levels to see.
I can't practice enough to get better
Having school makes me suck at multiplayer games. It kills me because I'm a very competitive person and, while I know and believe that putting studies ahead of my gaming desires is the right thing to do, I don't want to lose. I hate only being able to get a couple of games of SC2 per night.
I'm a solid Gold-level Protoss and, barring a sudden lottery windfall and the appropriate free time, I am not moving up anytime soon.

i suggest concenterating on macro and the right combination of units, that what got me into platinum anyway.
