Naniwa leaving Dignitas? pretty wow.

Actually coL might not be too bad for him, considering he's going to be living with the MVP house for a while anyway.

 

[TheThunder]

EGNaniwa

 

[hamchan]

I think it would be awesome if complexity just 1-upped the Stephano stuff by acquiring Naniwa.

"Oh that Stephano stuff? Yeah we don't care about that guy anymore, we got Naniwa."

 

[ultron87]

But FXO has infinite money. I don't understand.

 

[Q8D3vil]

But FXO has infinite money. I don't understand.

they have brains and right now no one in their right mind will purchase a protoss player let alone a very expensive one.

 

[Dooraven]

I like how FXO is being pretty open with this, them and coL do seem to be pretty open with the SC2 community. coL does seem to be the best bet for him though, having DRG as a practice partner would be pretty significant and would improve his PvZ dramatically.

Not picking up a really talented player because of a current imbalance would be a really short sighted decision.

That said, Naniwa might be asking for more than he is truly worth.

i was joking, naniwa probably saw huk deal and asked for something similar.

with his latest scrappy results i don't think he will be getting any similar deals to huk deal with eg.

 

[PhoenixDark]

It would make sense for Naniwa to join EG. He could stay at their Korean house and train with Huk, Puma, and Idra right away.

colMVP would make a lot of sense as well

 

[Q8D3vil]

new patch is up in NA.

 

[Dooraven]

Well, this isn't something I saw TL's admins doing lol:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=267497

(Bumblebee is the player manger of TL)

 

[Q8D3vil]

i wonder if the patch will hit korean server before gsl

 

[PhoenixDark]

Played around with the patch, went Ultras against Terran. Felt good man. I was hoping I'd get 2rax'd so I could see how the Barracks timing has changed, but no one did it : /

 

[Holden]

great! 1.4 broke my game...

 

[jasonng]

You don't play zerg, silly.

 

[Corran Horn]

Would be interesting if eg could afford him at high price. They just got huk to a large contract. I imagine they did or will resign idra. Then add puma. I want money

 

[Holden]

ya i have a huge doubt that EG can afford naniwa, he practiced at StarTale, he could join it..?

 

[Mairu]

I love my little lings but I have to say Marines are the most versatile early unit in the game. About a Marine you could actually say that Marine is a most versatile unit in the game.

Edit:

Millenium's statement on the Stephano situation



Edit:

NaNiwa and Team Dignitas part ways



Makes no fucking sense to me.

I like how Complexity's statement seems transparent with actual information in it and Millennium doesn't really say anything. Go France!

Can't wait to see where Naniwa goes.

I hate that people are using the word 'resign' when they mean 're-sign'. Not just here, but on TL too.

Sorry for being on a cellphone while posting on gaf and I dont have perfect english.

 

[Q8D3vil]

crushed a zerg with mech but was bitching about how np is not good against thor at all without even trying it.
terran mech dominance incoming

ya i have a huge doubt that EG can afford naniwa, he practiced at StarTale, he could join it..?

korean teams don't pay their players and he want a high salary.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Remember it resets your graphics settings, so make sure to change them back. It turned all my shit to ultra, which I handled with moderate lag but decided to turn it back down to just high.

build more Ultras breh!

I'm really disappointed that the Chinese Blizzcon Invitational players aren't going to be able to make it to Blizzcon. It was fairly exciting last year to see Loner manage to make it to the finals even if he didn't win

Spoiler

and slowly faded away after

. We don't really get to see much out of the Chinese scene and it sucks that they won't have any representatives at Blizzcon. I hope Blizzard & the players manage to be able to work something out to get someone to Blizzcon next month :/

well, he managed to 2-0 everyone in that Chinese recent tournament so i think he is doing pretty good now.

The edges will get chopped off if you just upload it that way. Avatars need to be 100w x 120h

So not only are you shedding toss tears in-game, now you're doing it on the forums too!

well i can't get on sc2, gotta do it somewhere T.T. DAMMIT BLIZZZARDDDDDDD

 

[Deadly]

What are the general thoughts on the patch for toss? Insignificant changes? Or is it the other races that needs changing? Or someone needs to pioneer some new protoss strategy?

over buffed warpprism, all it needed was +1armor
Immortals might be more usefull
pvp is finnaly not bullshit?
I don't relly care about blink
i was planning on building more mothership/carrier so i guess the mothership is just a small bonus


Fungal isn't the problem, its infested terran
Other stuff for zerg are nice

hellion nerf was needed
and HSM is a bit insane ( i don't relly know, but i think its pretty much impossible to dodge now)


and imo, protoss and zerg are fine, its just terran;;;;

 

[mescalineeyes]

actually, it would be nice to bring Protoss and Zerg up to the level of Terran, not drag the only actually good race down. but hey...

This is what I'm hoping the expansions will do. The idea of the dev team focusing purely on one race at a time will eventually give us three fully fleshed out and unique races. It's a long wait but as of right now, zerg and protoss definitely feel incomplete.

Absolutely, and let's not forget how long it took StarCraft/BW to acheive the level that it did. All in good time. It will be interesting to see what is done with all the races in HotS and how much Protoss and Terran will be changed relative to Zerg.

hope they remove the uninteresting units ( corruptor / collosus, etc w.e thats just none micro required -_-;;; )

I am just a bit sad that I'll be too old to fully appreciate it by the time LOTV hits.

[Pandaman]

What are the general thoughts on the patch for toss?

bullshit tier:
neural nerf.
warp prism shield buff
seeker missile buff
ramp view change

whatever tier:
fungal nerf
barraks nerf
blink nerf
mothership buff

thats nice tier:
hellion bf nerf
immortal buff
ultralisk buff
UI changes
social changes

 

[Holden]

damn, thats pretty nice , hopefully LOTV will have an awesome menu and stuff,

Spoiler

and LAN, BELIEVE

bullshit tier:

ramp view change

i do kinda agree but pvp needed to be fixed But i am relly scared of this in PvT causing my lose of stalker when i move up the ramp...;

 

[Rubashov]

I'm so close to getting demoted in 1v1. I went from silver to diamond in 200-300 games, only playing the game here and there. But now I can't afford to have any rust or I get blown up. My macro game is killing me.

Anyone down to practice right now? I'm Z, on NA.

Agree on most part except WP buff which I think is nice.

 

[Hazaro]

That is a nice list Panda.

No. 140hp mineral only is fine. Esp with speed upgrade.
You get the hell out and every other whining Protoss. 200hp is bullshit.

 

[Corran Horn]

qq more.

 

[jasonng]

The warp prism buff is what boggles my mind. Was it seriously *too* fragile? I understand that it definitely is vs terran. It'll take less than a handful marines to take it down but then again, there will always be enough marines to take it down no matter how much hp it has. From the zerg's perspective, we have to tech to hydras. No question about it, our queens won't make a dent and we can't get spire out in time. Definitely changes the meta game.

The whole point of the warp prism being vulnerable was to make up for the incredible amount of benefits it brings.

 

[Holden]

Ok wtf is this, why is there a vison thing nerf?

this fucking sucks, im used to build my units on ramps.......

 

[ultron87]

Wait, did they make warping in on ramps impossible along with the vision thing?
