[Keikaku]

So you are about to prove that you are actually a SC2 savant.

or this will be you in a few days.

2 things:

• The tourney is today, in about 3.5 hours.

• I won't end up like a cowering pony! Win or lose, I'll come out with some replays to watch and new timings to discover

• Spoiler

  My inevitable defeat today is but a phase in my Xanatos Gambit to get to Grandmasters and eventually to an MLG event!

Keikaku: "So... so many t-ttanks. He forced so many th-thors up my ramp. Then he did it in-game. Pluh-please make the nightmares go away."

Still salty about my winning record in our ZvZ matchups, eh?

twice today in ZvP i've been attacked by 7/8 marines and 5 scvs, and it just destroys me. one time i was trying to do fast roachs 7 roach rush style, the oner time i 14 pool/15 hatch'dhow do i beat that attack and come out ahead?

 

[MrKnives]

I hope it's Tastosis again They could clone themselves and do both the blue and red stream

The impressive part is that they were able to build those units as protoss.

Pretty sure this clashes with the GSL Finals.

 

[Won]

I think Gretorp has nothing to do till NASL season 2. They should get Gretorp.

 

[Corran Horn]

Just get HD and Husky again!




...they are at least better than gretorp.

Am I correct in assuming that this was a 2-rax and, obviously, ZvT not ZvP?

My standard build against Terrans is a 14hatch/14 pool and I can hold 2-rax play about 75-85% of the time. I'm sure that it's 100% hold-able, but I'm just not good enough yet. If your scouting drone see's 2-rax, add a spine and with ling support and pulling about 4-5 drones, you should be perfectly fine.

It would also help if you posted replays so we can see exactly what happened.

This is not true. HD and Husky are terrible. Gretorp, while bad, is LESS bad.

Why are you just completely wrong.

Tilting on ladder today. I guess I can't do anything without else aside going robotics bay as first tech.

Oh well.

Hell no, keep him away from more casting.

 

[Aylinato]

Need more plyons. Not enough vespene gas. SCV ready to go sir.

You must construct additional pylons. Not enough vespene gas. SCV ready to go sir.

You must be joking. Husky has improved significantly; he's entertaining, can be funny, etc. HD...eh, he's not bad but isn't good either; sort of like a far more knowledgeable DJWheat.

Gretorp has not improved as a caster since NASL started. He's still awkward, not funny, and doesn't know how to work well with another caster. Whereas the NASL finals proved InControl could shine when paired with a good caster like Day9, Gretorp struggled continuously.

What valid points would you like me to respond to? TB is not in it for the money? I never said he was (LOL). I said he CAME HERE for the money.. which is absolutely true. I also (and have explained this a few times now) that I don't think he is scum... he does GREAT THINGS which has been pointed out many a time.. but that doesn't stop me from having the opinion that I'd rather someone gets hired blindly then people come here for the money. People are putting huge assertions on this statement when I NEVER DECLARE A VALUE for it my EXACT fucking language is "I am more offended" which literally means I am more in favor of being hired than coming for money... YOU DUMB FUCKS are the ones who read that as "oh my GOD he thinks TB is greedy and does it only for money!"

it pains me to explain this over and over again.. each time I do I get 3 posts from people saying "don't respond incontrol!" but then I get 20 pages of idiots posting after reading the first page and NOBODY is listening.

I think someone here said Inc would go that route with the TB comment. That actually makes no sense.
Does that mean he prefers Lindsey over everyone else, even himself And it's not like Lindsey weren't there for the money or the exposure.
He has been defending himself on TL and that's mostly consisted of him bashing on anyone who contradicts him and threatening that he won't ever post anything again.
Looking forward to that.

It's not a distortion of words. It's just putting things into perspective. Any person who has previously made money off of video games by reporting on them, playing them competitively or casting them, who picks up SC2 and proceeds to make money from it, should not be automatically labeled as someone who came to SC2 just to make money. If TB of all people is going to be labeled that way, then incontrol should certainly be labeled that way, since I'm pretty sure incontrol was planning to make a career out of sc2 since day 1. It doesn't have to be a negative label, anyway. Either someone makes a good contribution to the community or they don't. Who cares how much money they make if they have a positive effect.

lol
the funny part is that even non TB fans are defending him because they know incontrol is just an asshole.

so many goody games these days, i'm watching tvp between goody and mana and its really want me to try that style

 

[slidewinder]

That whole incontrol interview is painfully moronic. He calls the guy behind NASL "a bit of a genius" for chrissakes. Based upon the available evidence, nobody but an idiot would hire that guy to manage a Taco Bell.

the 7 roach rush replay i didnt scout well, othe than the initial 2 ra which i should have recognized, but i hoped my roaches wold come out in time. they were 20 seconds short

the 14/14 was totally my fault fr not scouting at all. in general i was just looking for the answer, i guess spines+scouting is it.

Anyone watch Kiwikaki play poker?

Wow TB ;_;

Is it really alright for him to be holding SC2 tournaments out of his own pocket? lol

Respect++

 

[AdventureRacing]

just read TB story

His comments didn't really change my opinion of him. It was already pretty obvious that incontrol was a douchebag and comments like this only confirm it.

I'd say i certainly respect TB a whole lot more now after reading more about him.

It's as if the guy has a clause in his contract forcing him to look like a dumbass every other week.

+respect points. I'll now be more tolerate of his casting and give support to the guy when he does anything cast wise so he gets views and might finally get to the U.S. to get on with his life. Shit is insanely rough... hope it all works out.

LOL @ Incontrol hating on TB at all. After this info about TB, it's like Incontrol went into a handicapped classroom and punched the kid in the corner making a drawing, "just because." :/
