just be like me, give up and find a clan to practice with.

What clan are you practicing with and why aren't you on EG yet?

 

[MrKnives]

Is this old? DRG on TL Attack
Probably first TL Attack in a long time I'm actually interested to watch.

As soon as the paid name change comes through, Panda will be switching his tag.

 

[AdventureRacing]

I might add the GAF tag into my name. Although i don't really like the sound of GAF.elblanco or vise versa. So i was thinking may Gafblanco.

Edit:I know that's not how your supposed to do it but whatever.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

Tyler is streaming

 

[Holden]

tyler naming his sc2 account NonY awesome!

 

[ultron87]

Maybe if he switches back to that name he'll be good at Starcraft again.

Edit: Wrote "game" instead of "name".

 

[Dooraven]

Maybe if he switches back to that game he'll be good at Starcraft again.

Well he'd actually have to practice first lol

 

[GiJoccin]

I just picked up the game a few weeks ago and I've been playing 2v2 with my buddy. He's been helping me a lot to get decent at the game - I basically picked terran and go with 4 or 5 rax and push, we've been doing OK, competitive with plat teams

I feel like my early game has developed the most, but I get lost mid-late game on what to do.

There's a TON of information out there, almost too much - any ideas on the best place(s) to look to develop on the mid-late terran game? It just feels like once we get past the point of marines+marauders won't cut it any more, I get out of my comfort zone. I've been reading some threads on Team Liquid and have started watching a couple of videos - any high yield resources?

Time to nerf T, P.

NA and EU has always been ruled by P and T, koreans stats seem more accurent

BUT as always you are supposed to be playing a player with same "level" ladder is not an option to base winrate on, imo, watching code T is a good enough reason to see the what race is the "master" race

for NA, Masters are goddamn scrubs, and GM is basicly playign half your games vs a scrub or combatex/deezer

 

[Pandaman]

PvZ 57% in NA/EU masters+
PvZ 47-48% in NA/EU all leagues

confirmed that people who complained about infestors are just bad.

i agree but when i watch 10 zealots getting chain fungaled, makes my heart hurt

and clearly zerg need to learn korean zvp, artosis said it was pretty fucking hard to beat it. i think its something by doing some 2-3 base allin then abusing zerg, by just making a seperate unit then you were making previously ( i made that whole sentence to not feel dumb by saying hydras)

funny enough... 47-48% for all leagues... i thought protoss was the master race of bronze to plat

but i agree that protoss is so good on masters NA in pvt, ppl only fucking MMM, makes me fucking laugh when i just storm their whole army

 

[Pandaman]

48% winrate is not fucking hard to beat. In any system there is going to be a few percentage swinging each way at any given time. 48% is effectively indistinguishable from 50% [or 46%]
Also, remember when artosis was streaming? remember how he lost a macro game to a guy who 6 pooled and did no damage? not the source i would trust personally.

nah, idle warpgates are a huge issue in those leagues. You or I wouldn't notice it, but when you almost literally never build units until your current army is dead, idle warpgates become a bigger problem than missed injects. atleast you'll always get 3 larvae per hatch if you dont macro with zerg...

 

[Corran Horn]

Clearly zealots needs a nerf.

 

[zargle]

Am I wrong to chuckle to myself every time a commentator says that Protoss has a deathball?

This is such a important point to make when comparing win rates. I hate seeing people argue about a race match up because of a 2-6% difference in win rate. If it ain't 50/50 it ain't balanced I suppose.

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

You know what bugs me? Every time a player wins or loses they blame balance. People need to realize that most of the time the better/more prepared player wins.

Except at the tippy top.

 

[Pandaman]

But I lose and I'm always the better player. Imbalance exists because I'm not #1.

Reminded me of a guy spanishiwa was coaching. his macro was bad so spanishiwa just told him to

30minute ZvP followed with alot of dead deathballs.

Its too imbalanced towards one race over another.

Yes, as that would create much hilarity.

Your map is pretty. That is all I am qualified to say about the matter.

You can spawn on the same side, which I dont know how I feel about. Map doesn't exactly encourage macro play since expos are pretty far apart, aside from the naturals. Also, I noticed from all your maps that you don't give players enough incentive to intervene in the middle besides cross spawn positions. That might be interesting to see.

Hope I don't come across as a douche

Spoiler

for once

. I do like your first two maps, I just think this one needs more tinkering.

 

[Q8D3vil]

not if you're cocoa. :3

panda, you need to follow some gsl because all zergs now are doing 2 base infestors timings in pvz

about the winrates, its retarded when people stop playing the game when their favorite race is getting spanked in a major tournament so stop whining and enjoy the game.
