I don't think people realize just how good Haypro is

I don't think you realize how bad Haypro is relative to the amount of bullshit that gets thrown around about how good he is or could be.

Speaks for itself.

Come on guys, I figured my troll would catch a couple people and garner some lols, but not staples of the GAF SC2 community

On a serious note: what happened to Jinro? He's been in the ogs house for some time, and while Korean terran are dominating he's kinda just...there. I realize his style was figured out, but that was ages ago and he still hasn't gotten much better.

He doesnt seem to be a big multitasker which most korean terrans are. At least from the games I have seen.

I'm liking this. A lot.

He stopped being the only Terran that can macro.

I made your room better

Sheth derping away his drop. Sad.

Sheth derping away his drop. Sad.

makes me want to punch him in his face

 

[PhoenixDark]

jesus Sheth threw that game away

 

[Dooraven]

Ugh Sheth man, too much drops. And pretty much no control of those drops as well, ugh.

 

[Pancakes]

I made your room better

Hah, I love it.

 

[PhoenixDark]

prediction: Ret builds 70 drones, no units, loses

 

[Hazaro]

Ret: Maxed at 15 minutes with 1.5k banked
Alicia: 130 supply

 

[Pandaman]

prediction: Ret builds 70 drones, no units, loses

alternative: ret builds 70 drones, isn't attacked, wins.

 

[Hazaro]

New alternative:
Ret makes 110 drones
Min makes 120 drones

 

[Dooraven]

That was a great PvZ/ZvP.

 

[Pandaman]

1.4 apm:
alicia 90
Ret: 170

lolprotoss.

 

[PhoenixDark]

That was a great PvZ/ZvP.

Seems like Alicia basically let Ret win. The little bit of pressure he applied caught Ret completely off guard, dunno why he didn't continue

 

[Dooraven]

Neither, though I'm liking the new Warp prism stuff that KR protosses are now doing.

 

[Hazaro]

Seems like Alicia basically let Ret win. The little bit of pressure he applied caught Ret completely off guard, dunno why he didn't continue

Because 3 base Protoss is usually invincible.

 

[PhoenixDark]

jesus Ret, what the fuck? This Min guy made so many mistakes and Ret let him back in the game by droning while under an all-in ling attack. smh

 

[Dooraven]

Ret really likes droning lol.

 

[PhoenixDark]

What is Hero doing...

 

[Dooraven]

I really don't understand what hero was doing... Zealot/DT into Zealot/Archon/Storm? Yeah, not going to work against roach hydra.

whelp TvZ took me 5-17 tonight, all the way from 6 diamond to 17th. Fuck zerg. I literally don't know what else I can do in that matchup. I do better against my master zerg practice partners tahn I do against the diamond zergs. Every one of them I talk to knows exactly what BO they're going to do if they scout gas/no gas/1 gas at the start of the game, and completely crush me. MY Macro is decent, I'm not 2 base all inning, I apply pressure, and it doesn't fucking matter. I guess I should just be all inning them every single game.

Ok, so I just played another game against a zerg player in platinum. Scouted a 7 pool, immediately pulled my probe out and sent it to the farthest base from my own, hoping he would follow it and then send his lings there while I forge and then cannon my front door, though he followed it up with lots of drones and an expansion before producing any lings, which was odd. He then says gg at about the 6 minute mark (I respond gg?), when absolutely nothing has happened, and claims that I`ve won, while meanwhile we both have solid economies and absolutely no battles have occurred, aside from me losing my scouting probe and him losing a single ling to my cannon.

I respond with "we'll just see how it plays out", and the game goes on for another 7 or 8 minutes while I get my gates up, a healthy expansion and then a robo, make a few 4 zealot/4 stalker pushes (zealots die, stalkers pull back and then get a new wave of zealots to go again) bring a warp prism with my zealots and stalkers and some sentries, take the bottom hatch out, then hit the main just when his mutas are popping and annhilate them one or two at a time. (to which he ended with the classic gg, player has left the game trick, hoping it would work. Stupid ladder nonsense)

I feel like I played it all wrong though, aside from the initial response with the 12 gate (into forge into cannon wall at my front door once I scouted the early pool). I feel like getting 4 gates up and running after the delay caused by the forge and cannon took way too long, and he could have easily gone into some sneaky tech path while I was afraid to move out since I didnt know what was happening(baneling bust, quick mutas, big army of lings just waiting for me to make a mistake). I feel like the best response would have been going into robo and pumping an observer right away, though if he had decided to push I dont know that 1 gateway would have been enough to hold it off.

What would be a general recommendation on a proper response to scouting an early pool and then not seeing an attack, especially since I walled myself in in response? Robo into fast colossus, 3 gate sentries and take down my pylon, stargate tech? I just know that what I actually did in response felt very poorly executed and like it wasnt the right thing to do at all, regardless of whether I won or not.

If you scout it fast 2gate is quite fine to holding it off and followed up with 4gate usually crushes him. Also if you got forge you just as well could expand easily with proper simcity. Doing one base robo for obs sound horrible. Some Protoss player correct me if I'm wrong. It just feels so long to get and what if you get to his base with Obs and he just expanded and made ton of drones while you are on one base with few gates and a robo?
