When will we do GAF-SCII night?

 

[Deadman]

Huk won 3-0 in his first round. Its fine to spoil because they werent gonna stream that one.

Spades won 3-0 too.

 

[BigAT]

Stream is back.

 

[fanboi]

When will we do GAF-SCII night?

seconed.

koth gaf night go

 

[Keikaku]

Awesome comeback from Machine to gg Neams.

 

[Tacitus_]

Machine is owning up some noobs :lol

 

[Deadman]

Banelings are awesome.

 

[Aylinato]

we should do a GAF night tonight, and do a Day[9] type FFA(pick one unit LOL) or alphabetical, or do laddering, or some custom games like DoTA



if we do a 4v4 or something imma try to do the vortex+archons XD j/k too long to tech to

 

[Deadman]

Drama:

livestreaming fucking sucks, why not cast from replays to deter ppl from cheating for 1k

Someone then says how delaying by a minute or so could help this.

makes sense when you practically have no control over the issue and just hope that it self delays because ustream sucks or something. also when a dark shrine takes over that amount of time to build i can see how that wont help at all. sorry but im extremely against livestream and wish i knew this part of the tournament was going to be live streamed before i started playing in it

Wait, what's this all about?

 

[HolyCheck]

Just woke up.. curse my normal sleeping habbits now (tis 8am) Joining in, day 9 + djwheat are a great combo, and I hope torch does well


also yeah, what's with the HuK thing?

 

[Deadman]

He just really doesnt like games being livestreamed because of the possibility of cheating (except for when everyone is at the tournament like mlg etc). I dont think hes saying anyone has cheated today.

 

[Won]

Huk is probably just bored.

 

[Mystery]

God, this stream is skipping like fucking crazy for me.

 

[dimb]

Wait, what's this all about?

Online tournament for money is livestreamed.

Any players in the tournament can run the stream while they're playing and know what's up.

 

[HolyCheck]

Those MSI laptops actually look fucking beautiful.

 

[Vaporak]

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

You're 61-51, seems fine to me.

 

[HolyCheck]

llol torch had the stream open

 

[Slasher]

TorcH going up against LzGaMeR now, Kiwikaki vs SLush next

llol torch had the stream open

You kidding?

 

[dimb]

You kidding?

They were talking about him before the game started and he sent wheat a message defending himself.

 

[HolyCheck]

You kidding?

Nope! He responded to something day9 and Wheat said

edit: he may not have though, i mean someone could have said to him in chat on sc2 what they said

edit2: Torch's play style makes no sense it's so fun to watch

 

[Won]

Torch's playstyle is just silly. :lol

 

[Deadman]

People siege their tanks way too much, even when it doesnt make sense to do so. So many times you see tanks already under attack and they choose to siege which achieves nothing except prevent the tank attacking even once before dying.

Making your way to GAF, are we Slasher? Nice :>

I have to agree with HuK, even when I started to get into the SC2 tournament scene I thought it was bizarre that they'd have online tournaments that were live streamed when it's going to be so easy for people to cheat by having the stream open while playing

This game is going on pretty long D:

 

[Won]

What weird games.

 

[HolyCheck]

;_; I can't believe I'm asking this.. but anyone know much about MSI laptops? lol.

 

[HolyCheck]

LOL.

Cliiiiiiiiiide

 

[Haunted]

for anyone that didn't watch day9 daily #205. you must atleast watch these 2 minutes

-> EndlessYoutube, oh yes.

 

[Won]

Roaches look so broken now against Protoss.

 

[close to the edge]

Roaches look so broken now against Protoss.

Yeah, they definitely do but people and the whole meta game still have to adapt. I'm guessing people will go Immortals a lot more often now vs. Zerg.

 

[vicissitudes]

LOL.

Cliiiiiiiiiide

What happened to clide?

 

[cubicle47b]

I only saw the last game of Kiwikaki vs. Slush but getting crushed after going forge first to cannon Slush's expansion made me laugh.

 

[dimb]

Roaches look so broken now against Protoss.

Yeah, not being able to spam tier 1/1.5 with a few collossus to win makes the +1 roach range look so broken.

 

[butts]

So just a few weeks ago Zerg was so "underpowered" but now a +1 range on a previously underused unit makes Zerg OP?

I'd hate to be Blizzard's balance team.

 

[Slasher]

SLush takes out Kiwi 3-1 in four short games. Last Round of 16 game will be next, or might move on to one of the four quarterfinals. Brackets are now as follows:

Attero (R)/Allaboutyou (T) vs Machine (Z)
Drewbie (T) vs HuK (P)
LzGaMeR (T) vs Zerker (Z)
SLush (Z) vs Spades (T)

 

[Won]

Yeah, not being able to spam tier 1/1.5 with a few collossus to win makes the +1 roach range look so broken.

Yeah, that Colossi strategy sure didn't work for Kiwi.

 

[Hazaro]

;_; I can't believe I'm asking this.. but anyone know much about MSI laptops? lol.

MSI gaming laptops are good buys if what you are looking for is a strong GPU.
The build is fine, keyboards are kinda flimsy. They run REAL quiet and I don't think anything offers as much pure gaming value.

Downsides: CPU and screen resolution, but those are what you'd cut down in a budget gaming laptop.

 

[HolyCheck]

What happened to clide?

lol nothing, djwheat was just sitting there talking about cliiiiiiiiiiiiide for a while

 

[Corran Horn]

BlizzCon burn lol

 

[Slasher]

20 minute break while they eat, allaboutyou has beaten Attero 3-1 and will play Machine in the next round. Allaboutyou is actually a Korean-born 2650 Terran who's in the US. Next will be that match or Spades vs SLush, with Huk vs Drewbie to come after.

 

[Corran Horn]

Stream back.

This better cheer me up after the Giants lost tonight

 

[Morbid Angel]

Slush <3

 

[perryfarrell]

Don't forget the terran nerfs. Less tank damage, depot be4 rax, reaper upgrade in factory, BC nerf, build times, etc.

 

[watervengeance]

What if Roach Range was an upgrade?

 

[HolyCheck]

Don't forget the terran nerfs. Less tank damage, depot be4 rax, reaper upgrade in factory, BC nerf, build times, etc.

and the health bonus' to all zerg structures, they add up

I'd hate to be Blizzard's balance team.

Zerg are still the weakest race, its just baddies being bad.
terrans and protoss and hurrr t1.5-t2 deathpush off 2base without scouting. thats why you see scrubs crying about hellions not working versus roach. duh, roach is supposed to be hellions hardcounter, dont go hellion if you scout roach! [lol at protoss and terrans actually scouting]

the balance is alot tighter now though.
terran early game is still a smidgen too strong, terran lategame a tad weak and protoss late game is too strong.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

There ain't nothing wrong with roaches. Massing them still leaves you hurting for air defense, because you often have to tech slower because of it.

Yeah it's making me feel about switching to Zerg with all these buffs now that early shenanigan play is much more manageable and I prefer macro games.

I went with T out of familiarity and tanks, but I never really liked the roles of any of the units introduced.

Baneling and muta + burrowed roaches map control? Yes pls let me make 70 drones.
