Oh man I hope Idra is in White-ra's group.

It's been forever since these two played and they always have great games.

TLO's Zerg play is always a joy to watch.

I loved the idea of using burrowed infestors to throw infested marines on a sieged Terran army and using the eggs to tank the initial tank blasts. Rather surprised no-one else is doing that.

I also thought it was pretty amusing that TLO was floating nearly 2k gas but was short on minerals. How often do you see that in a ZvT?!

psystarcraft on youtube.

as for bitter, he just cycles through control groups and uses spacebar

Oh yeah, forgot about Psystarcraft. Will check him out too.

I really enjoy using zerg and i can't stand using protoss or terran. Most zerg users seem pretty bitter but that doesn't mean no one can enjoy using the race.

Yeah, I've played Zerg quite a bit through my other leagues and enjoy playing them. It's really a great feeling when you've got a good rhythm and tempo going with cranking out units/injecting larvae. But getting that consistency is that problem.

All your Hatchs on 4, and then have Queens 5-0 and then you just hit 55v66v etc to inject. The method Mr Bitter uses falls apart if you have more Hatchs than Queens, and the Queens just walk all over the place.

Thanks, I will probably go that route. My primary Nexus has always been on 3 with units on 1/2, but barely using 2. With Zerg I'm going to force myself to using more of the hotkeys. Anyone here use F-keys? My problem is that I still have to look down at the keyboard when using 6-0 and the F-keys. When using the F-keys what actual fingers do you guys use, and do you keep your other finger on either A or F as a pivot?

Big announcement to follow the broadcast.

20 minutes!

 

[Raelson]

Jinro is gonna take it.
I can feel it.

 

[Spl1nter]

Our terran hero shall slay the evil zerg beast!

 

[PhoenixDark]

Yea, I think Jinro will take it. In a straight up match Idra would probably win handily, but I'm expecting a couple games to be lost due to early pressure or cheese.

NO RUSH 15 MINS BRO

Early pressure is part of the game. Every race can do it, not like its unfair.

[Haunted]

Splinter is right, PhoenixDark and Deadman are wrong.

I take issue with the term "straight up" for longer matches, because it implies that there's something wrong (crooked?) with early aggression. All part of the game. The best embrace every phase of the game.


Jinro takes this.

There's nothing crooked, I think all's fair etc. Simply pointing out I think Idra would crush Jinro in most games that didn't involve some type of bunker rush.

Well then IdrA should get better

Why don't we impose the IdrA can't use roaches rule if we're just making up our own rules..

(but yes I agree, if they just played straight out and didnt attack for 10 minutes then IdrA would probably win more)

 

[TheThunder]

People who complain about any attack before the 10 minute mark remind me of people who complain about fireballs in Street Fighter.

also, lol @ every race having the possibility of early aggression.

I would like to see you argue otherwise.

Every race can 1 base/cheese into masters if they want to.

 

[mescalineeyes]

if zerg actually had a viable method for early aggression don't you think we'd see it more?

 

[soulzen]

Man, I want to rage right now...2 matches in a row with cannon/early pool cheese...sigh..love these kids that cheese their way up the ladder. 2v2 fyi...

 

[SteveWinwood]

Finally got my account approved and am excited to finally post in this thread!

Hopefully I can take part in some GAF nights at some point even though I'm only mid gold (I almost never ladder and just play with my diamond roommate so I might be higher than that in skill, or maybe not I don't know anymore).

Is your argument literally you don't see it therefore it doesn't exists?

fair enough, but that being said, the 3 roach rush merely hardcounters a 4gate.

You are presenting 6 and 7 pool as legitimate early pressure builds?

You mean the strategies countered by building placement and workers?

 

[Spl1nter]

lol. It is strong against all non forge opening and requires a specific response to hold it off.

 

[Vaporak]

It kills a lot more than just that, but it should be beatable with proper scouting and responses.

Here's what I said:

Every race can 1 base/cheese into masters if they want to.

And then posted threads about 1 base all ins from zerg at the masters level.

 

[Pandaman]

splinters right, zerg early aggression exists and is strong.

hell, 80% of my ladder wins vs t involve kyrix baneling attacks.

Unless you really like saying "FUCK YOU MOUSE BUTTON" I'd have to recommend getting one with a wire

 

[Pandaman]

ones an optional offshoot of a macro opener you scout out to counter specific build orders from a specific race.

the other is a jack of all trades allin.

yes i complain about 4 gate.

wireless is fail

i dont think its a wireless problem though, sometimes it works and sometimes i have to hit it really hard

Razer Mamba. Not the best build quality, and the drivers can be problematic, but its performance is unequaled.

At 1000Hz polling rate, the Mamba doesn't have the traditional input lag of most wireless mice. It can also be used wired if you plug it in.
