My only gripe with that video is the second caster (who is that?) trying to say Majora's Mask is not a good game. That game is amazing, complex, and maybe slightly over ambitious, but it is still an incredible addition to the Zelda lineup.

 

[Spl1nter]

Just because one game is a spectator sports does that make it a better game.

Probably best not to have this debate haha.

its a vote over the better franchise, not games.

 

[Haunted]

Can we stop actually engaging in the gamefaqs debate and just appreciate how hilariously endearing Tastosis' response to that poll is?

Artosis is personally offended that anyone could consider Zelda over SC. That is hilarious.

Then its a landslide for zelda.

I tried playing the 2 he had against destiny, and they both ended out of nowhere like 5 mins in. I don't know if some of the files came out corrupted or if those games were dropped or something.

No worries! Everyone started out not knowing the personalities of the scene. And yes, he is.

Many of the simple questions can be answered perusing the excellent Liquipedia. Otherwise, there's always someone helpful around here as well.

Oh, I do love the Liquipedia, but alas it doesn't help me learn announcers voices. I think that is how I knew he was related to Day[9] though.

Depends on the reaction from everyone I'm guessing. This is probably a test to see how things go. Man, Gaf Night has been getting bigger and bigger. ONE NIGHT CAN'T CONTAIN ALL THE AWESOME THAT IS ME US.

so i just watched two spanishiwa games on huskys channel and while he is a very good player i am of the firm belief that infestors counter EVERYTHING. they need to be slapped by the nerf bat.

they dont counter ghosts or high temp

 

[-COOLIO-]

with the emp nerf you need several ghosts to emp the bulging, not easily clumped together infestors. in this scenario you can mind control one of them and emp the other ghosts. its also easy to trap the ghosts, cloaked or not with fungal.

as for templar, ill let a protoss tell us why it doesnt work.

also, mass infestors by themselves dont counter everything, obviously, it's more like mass infestors and one other companion unit of your choice counters everything

yea man, playing the game is hard, you should be able to just build one unit to kill infinite infestors.

 

[theshizzle]

fungal is fine, the only thing that i think is stupid is the additional damage to armored......like what.....the....fuck and if you fungal a colossus, LET IT MOVE!

 

[-COOLIO-]

using mind control to emp ghosts is something that happens in high level games with crazy unit compositions.

oh yea, zerg just has to cast three spells before you cast one, not a problem at all.

it doesn't happen unless zergs trololololing.

it definitely happens. and three spells? mind control -> emp. what am i forgetting? the borrow?

 

[Pandaman]

the fact that emp only removes 100 energy.

but hey, if zerg can get 200/200 energy infestors vs 75-100 energy ghosts, thats terrans problem for being bad.

in that case should you be saying its 3 spells vs 2 spells?

So after like half a year, I am finally hosting another Starcraft tournament. This one is bound to drive me even crazier lol. 128 players, $2000 prize pool, and this headset to raffle off to those who don't make it out of pools. Info is here for anyone interested.

Your map pool listed in those rules is super outdated. Many of those maps aren't even in the ladder or any tournaments.

You guys know much better than I do. Should I open it up to masters? As last time, I gave my GAF folks first crack at sign ups (besides our Facebook, which is 90% fighting game players lol) and I can still edit the post.

i dunno if thats fair coolio.... i would be absolutely amazed to see two players of equal skill go against each other and the terran not get off his emps before the zerg is able to infest, select the ghost, and emp the other ghosts. unless he leads with infestors, and then doesnt get off enough fungals for them to be worth it before they die

edit: i see panda already addressed it... nvm!

 

[-tetsuo-]

Panda I took out the league restrictions. I just hope Huk doesn't walk in there or something lol

i would find the game im talking about specifically but its old. its actually pre ghost nerf/infestor buff too go figure. it's somewhere in the hd or husky vault. the terran definitely had sick micro skill too because he was sniping broodlords and managing siege tanks.

 

[-COOLIO-]

wait, i remember that it was an hd game, lengthy, and on shakuras plateau

 

[-COOLIO-]

actually it was really easy to find

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI6GCbFfVrM

i made myself curious

oh, and it happens several times so watch the whole thing. its a fun game to watch anyway

 

[Ashhong]

That was indeed, an EPIC game.

You can have Masters, but maybe not Grand Masters.
Otherwise everyone new gets stomped :[

On the other hand watching some good games might be interesting (Do you need a caster? Who is streaming?)
