how do you beat a terran bunker rush when you hatch on 15? is it even possible if they know what they are doing? o_O
Click to expand...

Yeah, it is very possible.
1. Do not be Idra. Do a pool immediately after the hatch
2. Have a drone patroling. Yeah, yeah, lost minerals. And lost game if they wall you in. Weight what is worth more.
3. Do not start queen in your main. If you really have the minerals to start it, do it on your natural
4. If you see the first bunker going up, a marine or two is most likely behind. Go to them with 6-7+ drones. If it is slightly delayed, you can transfer the drones to the natural in the meanwhile to continue mining in a better position battle-wise.
5. My experience is this: you do not "need" a spine, only if you failed in one of the previous steps. If you did not, you can defend with the first popping lings + drones. If you failed though, or feel like it, put a spine but be careful how to place it. Spines has bigger reach than bunkered marines, by 2.5 or 3.5. So they should not be able to attack it from within.

That is all.
If the bunkers are up, gather enough lings, prepare for cutting off the reinforcements instead, and within a minute, you will overwhelm that bunker force, even if hatch is destroyed. If he is bad slightly, you might even break in instead, doing damage inside their main also.

what arnold said plus don't lose any drone, if the terran went 11 11 rax and you kept ur hatchery then you are way ahead even if you made tons of lings.
note: shift right click the building scv with a drone.

Well inside the game is suppose to be one of each race to get different perspectives so it should be a terran
Click to expand...

Inside the Game has always been a transparent EG manufactured rip off of State of the Game. The fact that it was originally planned for Incntrol to leave SotG permanently to do ItG just made it even more blatant.

I guess it being another example of EGs shameless practices isn't all that important. What really matters is that the show isn't very entertaining (except for when Idra and Incontrol argue and annoy one another) and they need to get a more energetic dicotomy going if they want to get an audience comparable to SotG.

Don't know about anyone else but I like to take fast gas even when I go 15 15 or 15 16.

They usually expand or just make more rax + svc or something like that but if I don't see them expanding quite fast I do a bling nest too.

Don't worry though, here's a classy motto when you break something:

"Stay classy and rage intelligently, break garbage equipment and buy the new technology"

Indeed, and I'm taking steps to make sure that such silly outbursts don't happen again, still going to apologize to my practice partner the enxt time he's on. Seeing as we both lost a bit of practice time because I raged.

Are you also angry at all the phone manfacturers that "copied" the iphone style of smartphones?

Competition is good imo. Even if ITG is nowhere as good as SotG.

They started with a different idea, focusing more on the games and strategy. I liked they "inside a unit" or something like that where they just talked about units and their uses. Now it's just SotG 2.0 (pun intended)

An earlier Gaf Night post reminder! I have make these posts in between classes now (or during, let's see how that goes). Anyone not busy tonight? I'm enjoying this trend of helping out the influx of newcomers. One of the reasons why I consider our community better than others is because we're very welcoming to newbies and are willing to teach them the ropes (as oppose to other silly games like HoN and LoL and their respective crap communities). I'm glad there are helpful gaffers out there to counterbalance my trolling and QQing. :3

I'm not too sure if I can make it tonight as there's a birthday party I may want to crash. I might be on earlier than regular time just to get some practice in.

He seems to be, there was some drama with his short lived replacement. It was alledgedly over the fact that JP gave her the boot, alledgedly, for refusing his advances; I didn't really keep up. :\

But yes is the answer to your question.

Was there actually some source for said accusations or was it just general Starcraft community dumb-fuckery?

I can't remember a single thing she contributed during her few episodes anyway, so it was probably for the best.

The five pillars are back after MLG Raleigh to discuss the tournament and talk about Patch 1.4.1

Also they argue about their favorite type of cookie.

All I saw was reddit hearsay that makes allusions to some skype records and a blog post by the G4 chick. Never looked in to it. It's probably just the community connecting the dots where there aren't any, not sure why I mentioned it, even, but my curiosity might get the better of me.

see, everything fine when he's winning because he's the 'better player', so when you're winning it has to be imbalance.
