Is anyone allowed to partake in GAF night? I'm just a bronze zerg, but I'd like to try my hand at playing a few of you (even if that means getting destroyed).

I'm currently working on... the new 'gimmick melee' map I've told you all about, continuing the groundwork for my new fully custom map, and working on some more concepts for Shadow Assault 3.

If you haven't already noticed, I've made a few new melee maps in the past few weeks. Some are pretty damn good, going by some GAF reactions. Anyways, list of current maps below:

  • (2) Broken Land *NEW*
  • (4) Cross Sector
  • (4) Khala Divide
  • (4) Trash Station *NEW*
  • (4) Voyage

A big thanks to Panda for coaching me and Spl1nter for agreeing to be my opponent. I learned a lot and I'm going to hopefully apply it in ladder games.

Thanks guys :)

I should've gone Archons instead of Stalkers. Would've (theoretically) rolled those Voids.

I just finished my 'gimmick melee' custom map. 3v3, 2 bases for each player, natural has extra minerals, and the gimmick? A highway crossing horizontally through the map with constant hostile independent forces in between you and your opponents.

Search "Crash Course" or find me online to play.

EDIT: Still online now in SCII and Mumble if you'd like to play! It's a 6 player map so I'll need a few gaffers for this!
EDIT2: I've joined the TL, Looking for Custom Games, and SC2Mapster chat channels as well as always being in NeoGAF AND NOT A SOUL WANTS TO PLAY or at least has said either way.

I am disappoint of the Starcraft II community even if it is 9-ish in the morning.

I'll check it out when I get back to my place. A super death highway seems interesting, although I wonder if a big enough spine wall would effectively make it irrelevant and better just to avoid.

I hadn't really touched SC2 since Marvel 3 came out, but I got some practice in the last few hours for tonight. So rusty. :/ I went straight to 3v3 after playing out a few builds to make sure I had the timings still on point. Practiced the builds in 3v3, and then felt I could reward myself with some zerg play for fun. Managed to get 3v3 to silver league too now. No longer bronze in anything woot! :D

:( It's sooooooooooo good. Really though, with so many games in 2011 I'm pretty prepared that I won't be dedicating a lot of time to playing SC2 fiercely to get better, but there's no way in hell I'd give up the SC2 esport scene as a spectator. GSL is just a ton of fun to watch.

I'm watching day9 cast right now out in Germany for some white ra games. :)

I would not count on it.
One week ago, I was ready to embrace MVC3, and it slapped me in the face.
It slapped me in the face so hard, that I am back in the ladder on SCII. :p

Blah Teamliquid forums feels like a maze to navigate sometimes.

I'm watching the day9 stream right now from Germany and they mentioned they were having a contest for some razer items. They said to check out teamliquid to find where you go to enter and have to answer the question of how old is day9.

Does anyone know where I can find that thread?

You'll be happy to know I haven't played a single 1v1 since my qualifiers vs (._.) nothing but 2v2's and nexus wars so don't worry about MvC3 rust.

Just to clarify:

You can't play tonight right so our match is tomorrow? Or has that changed?

Is it just me or does the day9 264 PvT from germany sound like hes daffy duck with the mic? Not sure if it gets him better or worse than his home setup. Maybe he's partaking in the german beverages?

OOOOOH YEA. Just had my proudest 1v1 game. First defended a canon rush. Then a warp prism DT and stalker drop, then a mass chargelot attack, then DT miner harassment throughout, only to come back and CRUSH his army. Feels so good.

Had his dog run over by Blizzard's CEO
Got my stream setup and I think I'll leave it running more, hopefully it can get me to play more and stop me from spending 20 minutes between games.

Oh wow picked the worst day to stream, playing so so bad, going to blame it on the mouse.

NEUTRALIZE NEUTRALIZE NEUTRALIZE----HYPER SENTINEL FORCE. rinse/repeat.

:p

SC2 has nothing to worry about from Mahvel at least no until they get spectators, then it might be a bit more crack like.

SC2 Gaf might get slim later this year with games like Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3, Brink, and the other 800 multiplayer games set to launch. Really though, those games don't have a 10 year plan like SC2 does. :p

With Skyrim, DA2, Deus Ex, and BF3 coming out, I don't think I'll be playing SC2 for a while.

(Will still watch GSL and MLG of course :p)

all production facilities on one hotkey. Just tab through it to make whatever you want. Other option which works really well:
4: Barracks
5: Factory/Starpot
6: CCs

So I scout, see a forge only, cannon rush great. I see right away he built outside my base so he needs to get in to get vision. I manage to kill the probe but he sends like 4 more. At this point we're at like 18 so all I have is a zealot. What the hell am I suppose to do?

Place down your own forge and cannon, with a single cannon you can deny him and are quite far ahead.
