Don't you love when you've been working on a build and it finally clicks? I just had one of those. I'd been having trouble being able to get off of my back foot from early pressure, so I had to adjust for a more aggressive economic build. I made my own tweaks to the 2rax expand build and I'm very happy with it. I've held some mean rushes off and turned around and won while still on 2 bases around the time I'd generally be wanting to take a 3rd.

Time to go use up that bonus pool...

Haha, nothing more panic-inducing than a bunch of mutas hitting your mineral line right after you've moved out.

Who are the commentators? They're consistently talking over one another.

Just read that IdrA got a walkover because of GSL scheduling issues.

Woulda been a sweet match to watch too.

No idea, I found it really hard to listen to.

3 I think, not 100% on that.

What race does Nv.xiaOt play?

 

[Chinese Electric Batman]

What race does Nv.xiaOt play?

Protop.

 

[Pandaman]

why would you open forge first FE into 1gate star on close spawns. :\

 

[jasonng]

I didn't know there was two boxers. According to the facts screen, San beat two Boxers in GSL.

LAWWWLS how about showing us the game?

 

[Yoshichan]

ffs when does foxer play.

Marineking use to go by the id boxer.

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO FOXER ♥

 

[jasonng]

Holy, now I have a toss to follow.

 

[Yoshichan]

Terrible game. Absolutely terrible in all ways

 

[slidewinder]

So from now on when I let a Protoss get 6+ colossi, I'm just going to admit to myself that I lost and it's because I let that happen. Takes way too many corruptors to snipe them before they melt my (thereby diminished) ground army, and infestors using neural parasite just get focused down instantly. Is it even worth trying baneling drops in a situation like that?

 

[Yoshichan]

Probably the worst TvP I've ever witnessed to see in my entire fucking life. And I'm not even kidding :lol I was literally yawning half the game, that toss player is so fucking boring to watch. Typical casual 200/200 deathball and A+click-play. Yes!

 

[Detox]

I'm silver at this game and even I thought that was boring. I would have played a more exciting game at least.

You'd think if MarineKing was the better player in that game, then he'd be some sort of super smart wizard and beat if it's so typical and casual.

Toss player played a solid and smart game. Didn't have 1 control group for his army, really good micro, and even sent in DTS during the army fights to take out MarineKing's 4th expansion. Plus, MarineKing got greedy not making Planetaries.

i made a stream

(for starcraft 2 obviously)

Oh good, you can stream for GAF night tonight if we are without Corran again, since MrMister is out for the week.

GAF nights are Tues now right?

 

[Chinese Electric Batman]

Anyone watch Inside the Game?

Was pretty cool.

 

[WedgeX]

GAF nights are Tues now right?

I think so.

We're playing and Aylinato is streaming in leui of MrMr and Corran for tonight at least.

Come join us in 1v1v1v1v1v1s and such!

 

[V_Arnold]

Lol, I drunk-SCII-d, lost to a 4gate as Zerg, said "fuck it", and went for protoss.
Got a PVP on shattered, shouted FOUR GATE ALL DAY to the opponent. He knew it, defended it, but my superior micro helped me while I researched +1 attack after a quick shift. It finished, and damn, zealot+stalker +1 demolished that group of stalkers, gg afterwards

4gate is a fucking joke.

Im usually never home on tuesdays.

 

[zlatko]

Tuesday is just a bad day in general since all major game releases fall on it. I vote for Wednesday.

 

[WedgeX]

I know

And we're playing a mrmr map!

 

[cdyhybrid]

So I decided to switch to Random after playing some Terran last night. What builds should I be practicing to get better at T and P? I've got 1rax FE for Terran and 3gate FE, Forge FE, and 4gate for PvP for Protoss. Am I missing any?

 

[Ecto311]

Man this state of the game pre show is funny shit.

 

[Corran Horn]

hmm new ptr changes.

 

[cubicle47b]

Wow, this State of the Game has so many people on it now. Tasteless, Day9, Idra, Machine, Incontrol, Tyler, and JP.

They're trying to hit 20K viewers tonight, currently sitting a little over 15K. http://www.justin.tv/itmejp

 

[zlatko]

idra trolling is best trolling.

 

[pieatorium]

Idra is on fire on sotg atm rofl

 

[Won]

lol @ Idra


Also lol @ return of energy on Thors. What the hell Blizzard?

 

[ultron87]

Indirect buff to Templar! Whoo!

Edit: All the commentary on this SOTG makes it sound great. I look forward to listening to it on my drive home tomorrow.

 

[slidewinder]

Day[9] and Idra going at it.

 

[Deadly]

Day[9] and Idra going at it.

Yep war between them :lol. I think day9 is more reasonable.

 

[Corran Horn]

Day[9] and Idra going at it.

Imbalanced? HOW DOES THAT WORK

 

[Hazaro]

http://www.justin.tv/itmeJP/

GET IN HERE
Also Day9 is totally taking the high road and giving no substantial counter arguments. IdrA will rattle off ALL the builds and timings for TvZ timing attacks.

*Tasteless is Idra's homeboy

 

[Deadly]

I think JP should stop them soon, it's kinda dragging out. rofl Nick coming back to agree with Idra

 

[Hazaro]

This is how we get 20,000.

 

[zlatko]

Day 9 makes some good points on the overall game balance, but idra is 100% right about the problems with Zerg early game.

With those early game problems, Blizzard has to do something to help with scouting, like increase overlord health or speed so you can scout.
