Something about asians then said its okay to say the joke since he is asian.

Well, that's how Chappelle, Rock and Murphy amongst others built their careers.

Knowing Gretorp though, I'm sure the joke was more offensive due to how far from funny it is rather than the subject of the joke.

While we are on the racism subject, what kinds of things does Destiny say on his stream that caused such a big uproar? I have no idea who this guy is (i'm sorta new to esports) and I doubt i'd ever listen to his stream but i'm curious as to what the big deal is.

A guy who uses a porn star to get more stream viewers for better ad revenue.

Something about roach dicks, unwanted sexual assault, and mental handicappiness.
Also he's very very opinionated.

Question about ZvT:

I drone up 2 bases, get my Spire, get a third, start harassing. What am I looking for to decide whether to switch to infestors, go mass muta/ling/bling, or rush broods?

Look at his army composition. If it's:

marine medivac tank: stick with muta ling bling
hellion tank thor: infestor broodlord roach

Really, I'd say it depends on your playstyle but that would be the general consensus. You should be trying to get infestors anyway, they help no matter what.

What about Marine Tank Thor? Just stick with ling bling muta and magic box?

What do I do vs. a Protoss who just one bases? I always 14 pool 16 Hatch against Protoss but I just die to a one baser. Lost to a 1 base Immortal drop in my main, lost to a 4 gate, I just don't know what I'm supposed to do. The attack is there before I can even saturate 2 bases.
 
Damn you know when you're playing like shit, then you make a mistake so dumb you're about to rage quit...then suddenly it seems like that mistake is going to win you the game...then you lose? Oh man

ZvP Meta. After watching Stephano stream I felt confident and decided to go quick 3 hatch mass Roach. Well that didn't work, I kept getting supply blocked like a boss. Toss got his third up and eventually attacked with a bunch of Cols, which I barely held. I went to four base, he starts dropping my main with DTs and zealots but I hold. Then I see a Mothership and a bunch of damn Voids, plus Archons. My army literally melted smh. I panicked and thought I was building Roaches and Corrupters...turns out I just build like 30 Corrupters. Still managed to kill off all his air and Cols, got some roaches, then we got into a base trade scenario with Roach/Corrupter/Blords v DTs and Zealots...and I fucking lost. I kept getting scared and going back to my base, forgetting where my Overseers were, building one, going back to his base, back and forth until all my buildings were dead.

I had drones in my army, I just needed a couple buildings and I would have won :(

Anyone have any mouse recommendations? Tax return coming in tomorrow so I'd like to upgrade. Using just a basic Logitech two-button mouse, but my hands are too big for it, so my thumb, ring, and pinky fingers end up occasionally hanging off the side and dragging along my desk, which is hurting my mouse speed. Ideally, I'd like something tall enough that I won't have that problem anymore.

Thorzain in the EG team league lololol


Like 30 mins in on a TvP he gets like 10~ reapers and just activate boss mode with them harassing areas.

G400 is mx518. G500 is a bit taller.

He could've done more with them but his multitasking is a bit weak. When he nuked the Nexus, he should've sent the Reapers in to take pot shots at the Nexus before the nuke fell because Crank wasn't going to send his army into the strike zone to engage the Reapers.

Also, when his Reapers drew Crank's whole army into the pocket base at 6oclock, Thorzain should've used nukes to trap them in there while wiping out his other bases.

It's underhyped because it occurs overnight for the PST/EST time zones during weekdays. Kinda rough for North American viewers who aren't horribly sleep deprived college students.

JYP gets tooled in game 1.

Also, whats with the non stop trolling in this chat with Stephano being American and Idra being #1 zerg in the world. It is a soup of retardation.

JYP looks pathetic. He seems to have regressed so much since joining EG.

And oh god don't pay attention to the chat of any moderately popular twitch.tv stream.

This production fails hard. Terrible transitions, live mics when they should be cut, random camera changes to people who don't know they are on etc...

Bnet is down, nothing good streaming right now, tired of osu...what am I going to do? D: At least there's some Brood War coming on in 5 minutes.

I'm hoping for that match up in the finals so badly.

I dono, from a quick check his group is basically all PvP; so basically anyone could come out of that group since PvP is so volatile. Are the groups just for seeding or are they elimination groups?

I wish casters would stop hyping foreigners against these Korean players. It is pretty obvious MMA and MC are on a different level right now, especially with MMA going 10-0 in his group.

Mmm, played against a terrible terran on ladder. Kept denying his third so he raged and proceed to BM me after game. He ignored me when I sent him <3s his way. Great way to start a morning.

Winner of group gets a Bye in Ro16 so goes straight to Ro8, 2nd and 3rd place go to Ro16.

MC isn't quite on another level in his group since it's all PvP. MC maintained his perfect record against foreign Zergs though, he has never lost a full series to a foreigner Zerg.

Thors means you need Brood Lords. Hard to magic box because a terran would usually have marines around their thors but if you can pick one off that'll give you a lot of momentum.

As for ZvP, scout scout scout. If he doesn't forge expand (standard toss opening) then be wary. Sacrifice an overlord and if he's still on one base around the 5 minute mark, throw down spines and mass up lings. Look for forward pylons. If he doesnt expand, you're already ahead so save your larves for lings until you know he's expanding.
