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?
Weirdest game ever... I made mutalisks. Went to harass and did some damage. Next time I decided to continue harassment with mutas, he had (I'm serious) 15 queens and nothing more.
:/ I won.

I'm down with that
Mmm... Nerd raging on xel naga caverns. I would make panda proud.
I went for a fast expansion while he went for a 1-1-1 opener. Sent one banshee to scout me followed by MM + tank. Mutas came out just in time to fend off his push and he went hardcore turtling while I switch straight to ground tech after my first batch of mutas. He expanded much later while I was already working on my second expo. Pushed again with MM + tanks + raven which I had no problem with my roach + hydras. I capped so I waited til he expanded again before going for a push. I had Ultras, cracklings, and hydras to finish his natural which consisted of a planetary fortress, two bunkers, some marines, and five tanks. Then this ensued:
Terran: lol this map is rigged no?
me: it's very zerg favored
Terran: very
me: I can expand easier
me: well terrans have other maps
me: like lost temple
Terran: cause i know im def better then u
me: that's cool
Terran: thats the only map t has
Terran: only
me: then take this map off your favored list
Terran: so i can play the same map over and over?
Terran: i didn't make these (??)
me: there are alot more maps
me: you can take this one map off your loop
Terran: no, there isn;t
Looking at the replay he didn't have very good macro. He barely built scvs and rarely called down mules (he wasn't even scanning). His ravens were effective but he used his seeker missles on my ultras, not my hydras (I have poor micro, he could've cleaned out my hydras).
EDIT: He's top Plat too. Goddamn bnet, just promote me out of gold already!
Oh, and I'm down for gaf night. It's been a while.

zerg favoured = code word for balanced.
blistering is the only truly zerg favoured map and i havent played on it in months because its always downvoted. >_>
still, you did good Jasonng.
reminds me of this gold player i fought who kept gging in the hopes i wouldnt notice he hadn't left, then gged before his attack even got to me, then completely raged out when he realized how hopeless it was. >_>

Really? I always try to end the game early on blistering sands. Damn terrans and brotosses know how to abuse those multiple choke points.

So there is no excuse for my raging terran friend then. It is my favorite map as zerg though. It's one of the rare 2 player maps that I feel safe with a fast expo opening. The option for a 5 roach rush is there too.
Edit: And just for fun.
Zerg is my most played race though, even says so in-game. Weird.
and a daily, gotta make sure im not missing anything good. >_>jasonng said:Not really, I can easily fend off via the two chokepoints and I would've scouted already if he has air or not. It's those cliffs like Lost Temple has that grinds my gears.
OH FUCK, WALKING DEAD IS ON TONIGHT. Screw gaf night.Next time guys?
but yea, if they come in on any side, it literally takes half a second to surround them by sending your zerglings up the other one.
speaking of flanking, i player a toss who went 2gate ~> blink today and i spent like 3 minutes poking and proding his army into this awesome flank... only for him to blink out. i totally knew he had blink tech too, so i dunno why i was bothering. :lol
You gotta fake that blink out of him!Pandaman said:

May the Schwartz be with you
I wish I could meet him at blizzcon. Whenever he was on the floor a fucking mob was around him :lolYoshichan said:Yaaaaaaaay! I'll be meeting Day9 in Dreamhack in a week
You are rather obnoxious. I've actually watched him play and his apm is fairly constant. What you are saying is completely pointless as it's something that's pretty much impossible to measure. That is to say if your point is that peak APM is what matters, but you can't really tell if that peak APM is even useful APM or just more meaningless spam. Notice I never said he has "shit apm", but apparently you are very self conscious about your APM or somethingPandaman said:

A couple of questions from someone who knows less than nothing about SC2. I have the game, been enjoying the campaign and playing slowly. Played my very first online match last night and had my ass handed to me. So questions:
- Is there a website that gives you just basic suggestions to start out
- What is the object whose icon resembels a black hole or comet?
- Would you say SC2 is better than SC1?

Some noob questions after a weekend of MP gaming.
- ZvT : I was doing my thing, teching to Roaches ASAP, when I noticed he was killing my workers with some Air unit a few mins in, ofcourse my Roaches and Lings couldn't do anything, so the game was over before it even started, what should I do vs someone who is fastteching to Air ? Rush ?
- On another note, is there some good BO to fast Hydras ?
And yes, I should scout, scout, and scout some more. :lol

Us Euros should have gaf-night tonight aswell :>
10pm CET?

Some air units? That means 2 banshees. As a precaution you should have 3 queens on 2 base at least vs T. Maybe 4 if you suspect banshee play.Nyx said:
Check for a fast factory if you can (rax/fact wall off) and an early 2nd gas (after fact starts) if you can.
Fast hydra is pretty bad. I mean I can't think of it working well. Mutas are better in most ways and your roach/ling/bling handles ground pretty darn well.
Vs P you can get hydras after you bring out your roaches if you need them.
Just general stuff, feel free to mess around with whatever.

Good GAF games tonight. Still can play Terran. Zerg still imba.
