someone in tl was offering 2000$ for the first person to win 1000 game in each race.

was a bullshit offer, he was rejecting people for not keeping replays or cheesing too much.

Shadow Assault 2.8 has been released! This fixes a long-time balance issue and fixes a recently broken Dominion Spawn issue.

-- Fixed Dominion Squad not spawning correctly
-- Players can only have 5 units of any combination at one time

FUUUUUCK YEEEESSSS, New maps live NOW!

FUUUUUCK YEEEESSSS, New maps live NOW!

But not the GSL ones, not sure how I feel about split map pools.

 

[Pandaman]

lost temple lost the cliffs.

please come out before the tourney!

kinda unfortunate that they dont use the gsl maps.

5 and 4 look like trash, 1 and 3 seem very viable, 2... eh. have to play it out a few times.

 

[Corran Horn]

I prefer Lost Temple to have the islands. But it now has a more open middle and easier to hold natural, unless people want to use the 2 directions to get to it.

islands can be problematic for standoffs. this way, you cant just flaot off to the island if you trade. plus its a safer third for all three races if the gold feels untenable.

they all seem similar though... like the same guy designed em in a week.

So I've played SC about 2 months ago and it ran pretty much okay. Enough for some offline stuff at least. I deleted it and now I'm trying to re-install it on my 08-ish Macbook and I get this screen. Is this a problem? If so, how can I fix that?

Sorry in advance. I'm not much on computer stats and all of that.

I recently formatted my PC (which most def meets the requirements) and re-installed SC and got this message, I just hit OK and everything was fine.

But, I do have experience with MacBooks and you may want to click the Apple icon in the top left corner and then click "About This Mac" and check your ram their. I have had one of my RAM slots go bad on me and in return I lost half of my memory

P.S. new lost temple looks Hawt!

 

[Vaporak]

Well after checking the new maps out in game my excitement has cooled considerably. Played maps 2-5 against a computer to see the maps up close and they all look impossible to forge fast expand on :/. Naturals are all hugely open with multiple entrances. Spawning close positions is still possible on the maps so a couple of them have very short attack distances once rocks are knocked down.

Holy fucking shit...IDra vs MVP, damn.

I'm sure Idra will send it to Artosis soon enough.

Such a long game. I dont get how terran can not be punished at all for not expanding forever.

yea... how the hell did mvp stay clawed in on so few ming bases.

I thought for sure he had hid a 3rd forever but evidently he did not.

Yeah, I hope so. I definitely want to see it again.

One of the main reasons I want to see it again.

idra felt pretty passive at some points, but it is mvp after all.

You should see Flash vs (some Z) on Match Point.

2 base vs 6 bases. He almost wins by starving Zerg out. BW so whacky.

I'd love to see this, hopefully it gets put up somewhere.

Link from the TL thread but probably worth reposting: http://www.justin.tv/eg_idra/b/278892299

Starts at 47:00.

Between this and the Digitas vs TL team matches this was probably the best few hours of continuous SC2 I've watched in a long, long time.

 

[Hazaro]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

Thanks man

 

[mescalineeyes]

not sure how I feel about the new maps, but not being able to spawn on close positions on Metal and Lost Temple would be far more important.

 

[Haunted]

MLG prize pool is pretty impressive this year

5 of these

daaaaaamn

That basically makes the MLG national Championships the single biggest tournament outside Korea. :bow MLG guys

 

[Yoshichan]

Wow. The new maps.

 

[TheRagnCajun]

Looks like a seige tank can still *almost* hit that natural from behind the rocks.

 

[IceMarker]

Pandaman has reminded me that team games aren't all that bad.

 

[twofold]

Two good new maps. Three awful ones. Close positions on the altered LT is ridiculously close, too.

What's Blizzard's fascination with tiny maps? They're so shitty to play on.

 

[Pandaman]

i loved it when they asked us to 2 base allin 'like all the rest'. :lol

silly 2v2 players dont know they cant wear down gaffers, we dont even warm up until the first 40 minutes are over! when the map mines out, we start getting interested!

so now toss doesn't even have to build sentries anymore. this map is basically a huge choke.

Couldn't wait, just watched it. Holy shit what an epic game

 

[ZealousD]

Ugh, tried to get back into the swing of things by laddering today. Not easy. Was 4-1 for the day. =(

Edit: errr. 1-4. Not 4-1.

Sorry, meant the other way around. 1-4. =P

3 PvPs and 2 PvTs. The two PvPs I lost really made me angry at myself. One was a void ray rush and somehow I lost when going 2gate (not a proxy). The other was a cannon rush. =/

PvP is lame atm. Its all 2 gate or 4 gate. whenever I lose, its always to stupid shit. Then late game, if you get there is war of the worlds.

Ever tried 3 gate? Lots of really strong 3gates you can do based on scouting info you gain. There is an agressive 3 gate which should give you more units then your opponent at 6:20 mark. Also 3gate into blink stalkers is pretty amazing. Completely destroys a 4gate.
