Thanks Pandaman!
That seals it folks, I've found my race. These mofos are so fast, goddamn :lol
I just played 2 ladder games, and got destroyed in my first and not-so-destroyed in the other. It was like being in Bronze league again, first day of SCII. I had minerals piling up everywhere, missed larva infusions, generally messed about, but man did I have fun
Also had my first game on Shakuras Plateau or whatever. Interesting map.
EDIT: Anyone want to get some 2v2 going?

Everyones talking about the Void Ray changes, the Roach change is much, much bigger in terms of impact.
with zerg, you're trying to find a build that uses all your larvae, is never foodblocked and never has spare money while still progressing towards an endgame plan.Keikaku said:Thanks Pandaman!

once you have that, the trick to getting better is finding ways to mirror your build, but while making more money and using less larvae. the larvae management really is the keys to the city that make zerg so different from protoss or terran.
for example: with my standard build, i found that if i always stay 100% on top of my injects in the early game, i can afford to skip one inject infavour of a tumour as opposed to just doing sloppy injects. also that i only really need about 4 zerglings in the early game as they will give me the map presence necessary for me to build up a force to handle anything those zerglings see coming.
right now im doing lots of 15 hatches vs terran, so im trying to find a way to abuse hatch first builds without giving up on the functionality i have in my standard build.

Yes. I've recently found the little critters again, and the buff is massive. I can't see myself getting hydras that often if the opponent doesn't go heavy air. In zvz the hydra is useless if both players go roach now.
Once you spread creep, you can outrun anything with roaches. So nice.

Been trying out really fast secondary hatch build. Seems to be working alright for the most part. Something like: 14 or 15 hatch, then pool right after.... pretty much the standard order for a FE but I make the hatch in my first base for a few reasons:
1) Easier to defend (especially in ZvZ)
2) Can be used to block the ramp a bit... doesn't really block but it can get in the way
3) Can saturate your main a lot faster
For 3 it's sort of a trade-off when compared to the regular FE. FE you'll have 2 bases sort of half saturated or with this build you can have 1 but fully saturated in no time (and when you finally take your natural you can transfer a shit ton of drones and watch your minerals skyrocket).
Idk I still feel the normal FE is better for econ but I think I prefer this when I think they might be playing more aggressive because you can defend like a mofo with this. Hatch in the way + queen on ramp + 1 spine and a few roaches and lings all on the ramp = no chance of a ground army getting in. From there you can easily take your nat and move on from there.

Are the MLG brackets out yet? I wonder who got fucked over drawing Idra 1st round (since Idra's unseeded). How crazy would it be if Huk or Kiwi drew him 1st round :lol
Loner vs Idra, casted by artosis.
Edit:
Not yet. Registration/check in isnt finished yet, so once all of that is completed then they will publish the brackets. Should be in a couple of hours.

If your opponent is up to snuff, he'll just expand to his nat and mow you down. One thing you can do, is just not to saturate the nat that fast, if you feel you are under threat. Keep all drones in your main and transfer when you feel safe enough.
Saw Dimaga doing this a lot in zvz.
MLG DC starts in one hour!
Major League Gaming's DC event is here featuring an impressive lineup for it's second Starcraft 2 tournament.
MLG Raleigh champion TL.HuK is here to defend his title, along with several other players from Raleigh including root.KiWiKaKi, d.SeleCT, EG.LzGaMeR, root.qxc, TL.Tyler (NonY), EG.Machine, fnatic.TTOne, and EG.iNcontroL. Three first-time MLG players who look to do well are EG.IdrA who's here from Korea before he starts GSL Season 2, and White-Ra & TL.ret to represent Europe. Brackets will be released right before the event goes live.
Like last event, all matches will have commentary by Day9 and State of the Game's JP, but this time will be joined by Live on Three and Weapon of Choice's djWHEAT. HD and Husky are not in attendance. World of Warcraft 3v3 will start Saturday after SC2 ends with commentary by vhell and Igoaf.

Fucking christ it's Octoshit again. God damnit. If someone finds a restream please post, I'll search for something else in the meantime. If 5:30 rolls around though I guess I'll have to eat up half my month's bandwidth for today and tomorrow. Fucking 60gig cap...
EDIT: Looks like Teamliquid user "Bowdy" has us covered. Restream for those with bandwidth caps who hate octoshape:

Apparently there is just a small technical difficulty on MLG's part.
EDIT 2: Up and running! We are good to go! Or not...

Holy christ an hour behind schedule. What a joke.
EDIT: At Raleigh? I don't know, I had no problems with it after the first 15 minutes or so. Think I caught a restream on the second day, but it was pretty much on time unless I'm mis-remembering.
