Daaaayyyyummm, I'm losing a LOT now that I'm diamond.
I was kidding when I said that I would never win another game again, but it is beggining to feel true. :lol
But I see that I have grown emotionally as I don't rage anymore. I get stressed out and on random times of the day I think "if only I haven't runned right into his base when he had 2 Thors shooting at me", but not raging.
Also, I feel that I lost because I did something wrong and even if I don't know it yet quite what it is, I feel it is something I can solve, even with terran, unless they have banshees, fuck banshees, shouldn't exist, if exist, shouldn't need only a tech lab for cloak, if need only a tech lab for cloak, shouldn't be so easy to switch to raven. But I'm not raging, look at me completely not raging.
-
I'm actually doing against terran something day9 said people sometimes do on PvP, since it is "4 gate or lose", when peopole want to do something different, they go "4 gate + robo", sounds wasteful, but it kind of sometimes makes some sense.
So against terran, I'm going 4 gate robo, so if I spot a banshee, I can just make an observer and be happy. It is a heavy investment, but 4 gate is so powerful, that it feels like it doesn't make that much of a difference. He won't destroy me if I have a good sized army parked outside his base, so when I decide to expand, I already have a robo and can easily go colossus for that mid-game.
Makes sense, now all I have to do is stop sucking.
-
BTW, what is the deal with colossi obssession? Personally, I think HTs are THAT much better, I only make colossi because robo happens to be there. But if I expand to the 3rd, I usually switch.

The matchmaking is probably just trying to establish your position in diamond league.

And re: the colossi obsession, they just require less micro compared to HTs and don't get smacked by attentive ghosts. But yeah, I think HTs are a lot nicer against bio too, especially late game.

Collosi enables you to poke and gives you vision of high ground. If you can keep them alive your force and DPS grow considerably.

Templar are fantastic, but they slow your army down, and their damage is maxed out at 10DPS.

I personally prefer Collosi (So you don't die and draws gas away from medivacs) into HT to feedback all their medivacs and then storm the crap out of Terran.

Is Cella the "Holy Check" guy?

If so, can someone provide a link to that cast, never did see it? Only remember reading the comments on here.

its only linked three times on this page.

I was talking about a link to the "Holy Check" cast, not the 13 Gate one. I never saw the "Holy Check" bit and wasn't even sure if it was the same guy, hence my question.

Edited for clarity.

I find it funny that if idra wins he doesnt get the laptop. So hes actually only playing in order to deny someone else winning it :lol

Edit: If idra is flying in early for mlg dallas then it could mean he will be available to be the friend on friendday wednesday this week too.

He's the perfect villain.



I don't understand why people think sentry can stop rushes by forcefielding a ramp, maybe zergling rushes but I was always happy to see them when I was 6rax rushing. Basically if they have a sentry you know your army is stronger and you just have to wait a few seconds for the forcefields to wear off.

http://www.gomtv.net/2010gslopens2/vod/1255 Nice short top 16 from a few days ago of what I'm talking about.

Artosis goes crazy about how its going to crush the rush here and then blames it on bad micro? The guy's micro was great, it simply doesn't work against a big commited terran army.

ok, I hope blizzard fixes their random team games, I got stuck with a group of 3 bronze/silver leaguers who couldn't defend a zergling rush, yet the game before that I was playing with platinum people against platinum people(and won because it was evenly matched) and the 3 bronze/silver was against 4 gold, I dunno WTH is going on

Nothing wrong with the matchmaking, the hidden matchmaking was probably much closer. I was just trying Funcom's new DOTA clone and sheesh did I miss blizzards smooth ui and matchmaking.

1v1 matchmaking is fine, the team randoms are where it's completely out of whack

A very odd thing to say.
You also can't expect a matchmaking system to match perfectly and in a reasonable time for 4vs4.

4 sentries can forcefield a ramp forever. The protoss just completely missed the 3 forcefield. Big blunder and all that.

Any word on when the official Blizz mods will be released? Or is the typical "When it's ready" shit?
Most of the stuff I played at BlizzCon felt "ready". Maybe they are doing some final tweaking from the feedback then uploading.

That is very cool.

Good to see GAF getting some SC e-cred as well.
