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?

Did pretty well on the ladder today. I beat a terran for the first time (only faced one today) and i actually won 50% of my zvz's.
I still haven't lost to a protoss yet. Most matches have been close positions and i have just made short work of them with ling/roach aggression.
Also unlike my first few days i haven't been getting insulted every match
.
Except right now you don't even need hydras. Infestors alone can make short work of mutas.
I've noticed that this seems to be really common so my friend and i have been counting. So far on 4 player maps we have been close position over 80% of the time. We also have not had cross position even once in over 20 matches.

1000:1 is what you could call standard I guess. It's not bad but it's definately not the best you can get.
It all depends on how you prioritize these things. If you haven't even been concerned about these smaller details I doubt it will affect you in any way. One of my monitors have 1000:1 static contrast with 50000:1 dc and the colors are great.
The brightness is only 250 cd/m2 which is lower than in some more newer monitors but it should be sufficient enough. Flat monitors are usually way to bright to begin with.
The biggest plus I would give to that monitor is that it's LED based and that alone should make it good enough. I have no idea how that price translates to euros or dollars but if it's not too expencive it's a good buy.
PS: 24" really isn't too big. I first thought the same thing because I transferred from my old fat 17" > 24" but now I wouldn't even mind a bigger one.

Zergs hatred has always gone from Terran to Protoss back to Terran etc. I'm wondernig who is now generally considered the "most hated race"?
Of course Zergs are loved by all and embraced as the supreme master race so it's always been interesting that who of the two has the title.

As of right now, I think it's cool to hate on toss players since HuK and other protoss players seem to be winning everything. In a couple months it will go back to Terran and perhaps even to Zerg if HoTS buffs are sufficient.

I'm back! Kind of. Probably won't get on b.net today, but I'm going to try to get the GF to watch some SC with me
it depends, neither race is nearly as bad as they used to be, so i personally reserve my hatred for p's and t's stuck in the week one mindset where a counter must win them the game instantly and decisively like marauders vs supply depots and they still randomly wander accross the map without a care for scouting, bleeding entire armies the whole time and then whining that they cant play a macro game vs zerg.MrKnives said:
see what i mean?Q8D3vil said:its not about the bases, ghost/ are the ultimate infestor counter but they didn't work.
its bullshit and you know it
some of these terrans want the most expensive and high tech unit composition zerg is capable of doing to just utterly melt to one unit. and they think that would be okay. they want starcraft to be a game of 'just make X' until you've won a long enough series of rock paper scissors to take the game, but ofcourse they still want to have the final trump card. none of these terrans stop to wonder what zergs supposed to do after ghosts 'ultimate counter' infestor/brood/ultra.
V_Arnold said:Chroniclex, you cant remove +25 upgrade on infestors as you instantly summon HT's while one infestor takes 50+ seconds to hatch. Not quite the same, isnt it?
1) why the fuck did u call me chroniclex ;(
2) after i summon them instantly, i gotta wait for like 50 sec.
One thing I don't get. Someone in this page said Ghosts don't work against infestors but in the same sentence said "well, protoss has feedback"
EMP is a better feedback with the drawback of removing only 100 energy but the tech is easier if needed faster and aren't they even cheaper now. Also you can get cloack.
I understand it's not as simple as cloack > insta awesome emp's but isn't that the micro part. Zerg tries to fungal the army, Terran want's to land the EMP's
Terran's have practiced this EMP stuff against Protoss from the beta days already, just do to zerg what you do to protoss.

And the units weren't nearly as clumped up as now and it was 10x harder to execute.
Also since when losing one game to infestors (Bomber vs Destiny) makes it instantly prove of being imbalanced.
AND at least protoss is actually finding ways to hide their templars. Don't remember if it was Whitera vs Tarson or who but he kept some of his HT's in the Warp prism and right after he landed those EMP's he dropped them and instantly stormed the bio ball.

that was a terrible, terrible game and should not be used to base arguments on.
seriously, that game was so embarassing on both sides that me and my brother both just turned it off and went on to do better things with our time, and I don't say that lightly.
Destinys lol infestor build works if the opponent turtles and doesn't siege his tanks.
I recently saw games where this terran (don't remember his name) raped the mass infestor with just basic tank + infantry and good micro.
All said, infestor might be a little too good with the new fungal and it's huge size. AOE doesn't hurt them much from tanks nor EMP's.

I think it's 90hp but still. I think zoukka meant that because they are so fat and yea I do kinda agree but like panda said. They do pop to tanks pretty fast and tanks do outrange them by a lot.
Destiny is pretty much only one I have seen winning with going straight for infestors and that's mostly because he is allowed to get like 30 of them and then the opponents are lost for what to do.
Only other times I see infestors winning games is that Zerg "deathball" Infestor + Broodlord. Has anyone have any other good games with good players where just going infestor wins you the game? Everytime I see someone going straight for Infestors (Dimaga) they seem to lose.
Maybe I'm just ignorant but I would just like to see some other games (evidence) of this imbalanced.

I do kinda agree about Zergs being what they are. Not sure why though. I rarely whine and most Zerg players I know don't whine either. Naniwa and Incontrol made the statement that they think all Zergs are just sad and depressed about their lives. Is that true?

As a Terran player, I have little to no empathy for whiny Zerg players. If you're not a whiner, you're cool, you can hang. But there are clearly more annoying/bitchy Zerg players in the community compared to the other races (despite having a balanced win rate, and great success in tournaments both major and minor).MrKnives said:Haunted:

Sad and depressed sounds about right!
GAFers are a bad example group though. It's a well-documented fact that we're far sexier than average human beings.zlatko said:

The way I see it is that the reason why Zerg has the most whiners compared to the other two is due to how fragile we are. We're meant to be harassed so that we don't overwhelm our opponents so easily. At the same time we have to take that fast expand and that third. We have to get that macro hatch to keep a healthy amount of larvae. A smart player knows that by preventing the Zerg to do any of those dramatically affects his performance. The whining comes in where we can't react to the harass properly and ultimately loss because of it. Other factors come into play but the whining comes from all the bevy amounts of harassment we receive.
My two cents. And I know I QQ a lot too. At least I'm sexy.

Yeah, I never quite understood all the flame that zergs (sometimes including me ofc) get when they talk about potential imbalances. I have stopped even thinking about "imba" in terms of individual games, except for FREAKING BROKEN insanity like close spawn Meta against a terran, or something like that, but still, any terran or prot who thinks any of their main units need any kind of buff is MORE than laughable.
