All my friends have disappeared from my friends list in Starcraft 2. Is this a known bug or have I fucked up somehow? How do I fix it?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Sounds like a weird problem to me... I'll add you again!Sniper McBlaze said:

Yea, the SotG ep 37 talked about it and pretty much said in most cases, all the high profile SCII foreigners wouldn't go because of how hard they are trying to promote eSports over here, and because of the limitations living in Korea and competing in the GSL would cause. I think they said there is a lot more money to be made by competing in foreign tournaments compared to just competing in Code A or even Code S.

You only need to stay for a week, maybe two max to know if you're gonna have a shot at getting in code S, What "big" tournaments are you gonna be missing out of exactly in that span of time ?
Corran Horn
May the Schwartz be with you
Dont you get like 1k $ for r32 of code s too? It would be stupid to turn that down, easy money. Code a I can understand, but 1-2 weeks of missing other stuff to see isn't that bad.

Your goal should never be to win code A tbh, so the prize money is irrelevant.hamchan said:
TheThunder said:
yeah but his point is to qualify for code s via code a is an equal challenge as winning a foreigner tournament, so if the prize money of placing in top of code a isnt the same as a top foreigner tournament then the risk isnt worth the reward depending on the players expectations of how far they would go. its worthwhile for a guy who thinks he can win code a, get into code s, and make enough money there to make it all worthwhile. its not worth it for someone who thinks they wont make it all the way to code s money pot
...that wasnt very coherent. someone else go explain it better please

Plus, especially in the case of Tyler, Idra, and inControl, they are all more concerned with promoting eSports in the U.S. which is where a lot of the conversation in the SotG comes from since they all appear on SotG.

I'd do it in a heartbeat mostly for those reasons, but a lot of the players we speak of already have spent time over there.
Oh, and I'm bronze league

That really, really depends.mcrae said:
You have to win 2 bo3 to able to play the up&down and 1 (or 2) bo 3 to get into code S, so highly dependent on the bracket you get dealt.
but my main point was, if you lose in ro32-ro16 code a, then just pack up and leave. I doubt you've missed much in those 1 or 2 weeks it took you to play those games on tv, or even stay ans get to experience a new country and culture different to yours for a month for free.
Ikuu said:
They wont go there to experience korean culture, their goal there is to keep practicing for a month and try to be in the best shape to win Code A. It will be an experience,but not in a way that might benefit them, especially if they got food poisoning on the way due to the sudden shift in meal types

1) They don't practice all their waking hours. They will have at least a few hours a week to explore Korean culture and hit a few tourist sites.
2) You don't get food poisoning from shifting meal types. Food poisoning is due to bacterial toxins produced in food that was not correctly processed or stored.
So, about mid to late game ZvP, How should I respond to Immortals+Stalkers/Sentry/zealot when I opened up with roach and lings?.
I have tried to get Brood lords but I usually can't manage to have more than 3 or 4 for the final fight, and sometimes they get easily sniped by blink stalkers.

tough call, immortals are usually up front so you can safely neural them without much worry of blink becaus he probably wont want to blink right into the thick of your roaches, buut stalkers with blink will troll through roaches pretty quickly without fungals.Tetsuo9 said:
i'd probably go with fungals so you have a higher chance of scoring kills. plus it's not a terrible way to tear down hardened shields.
Your body and symbiotes within it adapt to processing certain kinds of food. If you quickly make radical changes to your diet, you can certainly get sick.Zzoram said:
A poison is nothing more than a substance that makes you ill. That, by definition, would mean you were poisoned.

To be quite honest I hardly actually play sc2 because it feels really intimidating. I've been watching a lot of gsl and have been trying to catchup on my backlog of day9 commentary and honestly only play custom maps lately. Somehow after losing my 1v1 placement match I was placed into silver and I kind of feel like I shouldn't even play just to keep my elite silver status, lol. I know of course that this is silly and that quite honestly silver isn't even a big deal. I'm making this post hoping that perhaps there are others like me who lurk about and are also a little wary of jumping into sc2. Perhaps we could jump in together. Maybe someone who's experienced wouldn't mind having an excited noob under their wing. I Don't know, anything is possible I guess. Just hoping to find a partner to work on my game play with, do 2's to screw around, whatever really. I just want to reiterate that I am certainly bronze level, no idea why they gave my silver but, I am most certainly trying to improve. If you're interested send me a pm and we can buddy up on battle.net. Alternatively I'm usually on irc.

Just play. Just play and play and play. Lose. Lose. Lose. I lost like 6 games in a row over the last week. Now I'm winning.oxrock said:
Playing the computer is a waste of time. The only way to improve those macro and micro techniques is in the heat of battle with live human opponents. It may take a dozen or two dozen or who knows how many matches before your technique clicks. But that's what it will take.

Nah. TSL is cool and puts up everything for free at www.youtube.com/teamliquidnet.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=203014 This thread has them in a nice spoiler format so you won't know how many matches there were.
And in HD too.Pankaks said:
I'd watch them on http://www.pokerstrategytsl3.com/vods though, where they will be 'spoiler free'. Meaning that you can see how many matches were played if you look at the youtube channel, which at a certain point in the series will result in you knowing the result of some of the matches. the tsl3 page will hide the next matches unitl you click on it.

I'm much more likely to play if I have someone to play with. Someone to bullshit with afterwards and perhaps analyze how to improve upon areas where I'm weak. More or less make it more of a social fun experience as opposed to just grinding on the ladder.Draft said:

Huh? Gaf night is the perfect time to show up and be fuck bad yet still have fun with us to play.
If he's looking to actually get better at SC2, and someone here wants to take him under his wing, then we've had several people here before do it from what I've seen. Panda is the Zerg of SC2 community to get some solid tips from. Splinter is the Terran. Who's our Protoss wizard?
You're all special, but I've seen Panda and Splint actually offer lessons and such.
Keep playing, keep studying, and keep asking questions here to get answers. Learn one build, and keep make it more and more smooth. Pick a build that is safe and macro oriented.(3 gate expand, 14gas/14pool, etc)
There's no formula to getting better that every person can follow, but there are things each person I'm sure does/did to up their game and the number one thing is to just play the game.
Edit: @Pankaks Thanks.
But don't you agree that certain mechanics can only be improved through repetition? I've been playing recently, exclusively Zerg, and after about 30 matches (and 20 losses) I feel like I'm finally starting to understand Zerg macro. I still have a long way to go, but I miss less injects.zlatko said:Huh? Gaf night is the perfect time to show up and be fuck bad yet still have fun with us to play.
