Flash actually doing Bio to Mech vs Effort was great and interesting to see. Catching up on BW stuff while GSL is not on, and GSTL is in early stages.

Flash sweating bullets min game after going 6 CC (Building his 6th) off 2 factories and a starport. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cRxJTeqzMYs#t=1211s

 

[Holden]

^ LOL, these memes are just so funny

 

[cdyhybrid]

Unimpressed Flash is definitely the best incarnation of that meme.

Catz ZvP is 100% epic cheese and powerful all-ins from what I've seen. Shame theres not much opportunity to mimic it in ZvT or ZvZ or he might he a threatening player.

Meanwhile Sase just took down ForGG 2-0 in the FXOpen Invitational LB...

Well he has a hard time in that matchup so I applaud him in doing what he is doing and doing it creativly.

And SaSe taking forgg down 2-0? Didnt see that coming from the play yesterday.

 

[fanboi]

Ok, just to get some discussion up in this thread.

ZvZ BO (which I always utilise unless I scout very early pool):

15 hatch, 15 pool, 15 gas.

Build two queens directly when pool finish, rally drones from FE to main (important!).
When 100 gas, speed.

When the pressure begins, its imperative that you place queens to block the ramp to your main.

Depending, it can be good to build a spine or two.

If attack fails and he goes back to macro (hatch) there are two options.

1) Mass lings, fuck em drones, and just attack him after you have 30-35 lings.
2) He is prolly doing an all in soon (roach banes lings), build 5-6 spines and block the ramp in FE, go mutas.

Here on it should be a cake walk.

BO is weak against unscouted early pool... and you need to micro quite good to kill banes that comes.

Cant wait for the bw heroes to show us the magic of trapping 70% of your army for 10 minutes and not noticing.

 

[Holden]

Is the FXopen a rebroadcast? Because the Sase vs fin match is on now.

Heh i was wondering if anyone else on here was watching that game. Was pretty hilarious and yet kind of embarrasing that the protoss couldn't really get much done despite the army being trapped.

Jinro just got crushed in the fxopen by hyun.

Poor Jinro, maybe he should just try emulating the style of some more sucessful Terrans, sure he couldn't replicate those as well, but playing for the lategame in TvP is suicide.

hyun is zerg

 

[Hazaro]

Hyun and Jinro are bad

 

[Zen]

hyun is zerg

True enough, but I find Jinro's TvP to be especially bad.

 

[Striek]

Jinro built his success on macro and mech, when everyone else got better at macro and you needed to balance good macro with good micro he started falling off. I've watched his stream and in both TvZ and TvP where he has had a ton of ghosts and barely managed a snipe/emp before losing them all (hugeee investments gone). Give a better terran control and the opponents army vanishes. Similarly his baneling splits are mediocre, tons of masters level terrans have better reactions (let alone 'pro' terrans).

Its a shame but SC2 is a lot more competitive now and he doesn't seem to have the ability or desire to improve. And now hes streaming a lot of LoL too.

 

[fanboi]

Saved you again thread!

But seriously... Jinro need to get back to old him (well he need to be much better than that)...

I miss him!

His macro doesn't really look all that good when i watch him anyway. Like in the games against hyun he just got massively out macroed and then rolled over by a massively superior army (just swarms of banelings rolling into a tiny army).

 

[Pandaman]

I have a plan.

Whew, that should keep us off the second page for awhile.

I think my mouse pad is causing these weird issues I'm having with my mouse. I just tried playing on top of my desk rather than the mouse pad and I didn't run into the issue once. Also, I can move around the screen much faster when the mouse is on my desk. Looks like I'm going to be playing like that now.

edit: When is a good time to use my first scan?

If there's one thing I can say about One Nation Of Gamers is that they're very respectful of the community and hopefully that translates the same to the players. ONOG organizes barcrafts here in the east coast and I've met a few of the organizers. They're chill guys.
