I have a HD6850 and an i5 2500k and it is running fine on ultra. No significant fps drop except for mothership + carriers.

Your CPU. SCII is quite cpu intensive. I had a e8500 and I had to reduce many settings (all those labelled as CPU bound) to get a stable frame rate. Once I changed my CPU, with the same GPU, I have been able to crank it to ultra without problems.Ashhong said:

so before losing my laptop for a week i was trying to standardize my 3hatch build vs forge first, i was wondering what the other zergs typically do in their three hatching.
i theorycrafted an opening ive been testing today which is 15hatch, 16pool, 16ovie, 19hatch[?] 22 double queen, 4 ovie, 28 double queen.
its gasless and uses the high minerals and low larvae of the third hatch before queen opening to power out a huge supply surplus and fast 4 queens for a huge early drone pump with a slightly delayed but still strong creepspread. im not really sure how to properly approach gas yet but im experimenting with 5gas roach and 6gas tech at the moment. evo timing is safe vs forge stargate and forge dt and 6gas tech gives ridiculous midgame tech potential as i feel i can safely tech to just about anything in the face of stargate and robo play with lots of upgrade support. if kiwikakis zealot expand picks up in popularity the build would be in trouble but i think [just think!] that right now its the best option i've found for harass safe macro vs a forge expand.

Rumors of BW teams getting ready for possible SC2 in the Proleague and some teams testing out new PCs/monitors which could make you think a SC2 transition is possible.Rubashov said:
Bring over some of the top pros and show how good the foreign sc2 scene is and show them the new expansion?

Alright folks, so I am upgrading to a new computer, parts should all be in in the next day or two, but I am missing one critical component: a keyboard (been running off of just a laptop for the last year, so I actually don't have one).
What model does SC2 GAF prefer for their PC keyboard? Microsoft Sidewinder, Logitech G15, Razer Lycosa, or a regular cheapo keyboard like a Microsoft 600 or Logitech K120? Any recommendations/general concensus? Wired vs wireless doesn't matter in the slightest.

Destiny and Sase are playing on their streams, pretty fun to be able to watch both streams at once (even if Sase is destroying him).
destinys ling infestor into muta into ultra build is... weird, to say the least.
i dont really see what he's trying to accomplish with the infestors and later with the mutas and both combine to delay his ultras to the point where he's never managed to build one.
is this a build he's doing for SaSe or vica versa?

stop watching and more playing!Pandaman said:
Damn, that looks like t he nVidia booth. Would have loved to see them play and thier habits.
Mass upgraded lings off 3 hatch on 2 base into infestor -> 3rd and 3-5 ultras with ling infestor. imo ling infestor ultra cleans house for a lot of terran combinations, plus you hit a timing where you damage terran which is rare.
Key points:
3 hatch on 2 base before lair, 2 evo and 4 gas timing, 1-1 ling infestor or 2-2 timing. It is pretty brutal to see 2-2 lings vs 1-0 bio and 0-0 tanks.
Do Stephano's build. Nestea used it in a set even.Pandaman said:

Nah i don't think he was doing it for Sase just a build he's using. In one of the games Sase cannon rushed him so i think they were just playing games.
I agree it is a weird transition not sure what he was trying to accomplish. Also Sase seems to play with heavy sentry/blink stalkers so the mutas just didn't seem like a good idea most of the time.

You can't see much and it's only 12s but at least they played SC2 ^^ Bisu seems like "wtf is this" :f

Are they definitely showing the code A qualifiers? I couldn't find anything on the gomtv website.
If they are hopefully this time it isn't all moletrap and we get some more awesome cameos from John or Cella etc.
