Oh... okay, will you still be able to rank up if you beat the platinum people if you're diamond? If not, what's the point of getting into a match with a lower skilled person ?

 

[Spl1nter]

Worse or better. The selection is more "wide" you can say.

Like as mid. diamond Ill face more masters players but also a few plat. people too.

and you lose to all of them regardless of level.

 

[Yoshichan]

I don't fucking get Metropolis spawn points... if I spawn top left position, can the opponent spawn only in the bottom right position?

edit: whatever, the map sucks ass anyway. It should be called Blink Stalkpolis.

 

[Deadman]

I think its the same as metalopolis or shakuras spawn positions, you can get cross or same side, but never close by ground.

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh okay, that makes sense. Thanks. Veto'D anyway.

 

[Pandaman]

lol vetoing metro

you play terran, do you hate winning?

 

[Yoshichan]

I don't abuse maps like you disgusting zerg people do. I like a map that is not confusing and doesn't have three hundred obstacles in my way.

Steppes of War 24/7

 

[Yoshichan]

Hey man, Steppes of War and Blistering Sands = peak of Starcraft 2~

edit: and that was when I was rolling with the disgusting protoss race *spits on myself*

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh well I guess it was just a matter of time

 

[Zen]

New Matchmaking is awesome.

FOR THE SWARM.

turning the tempest into a protoss broodlord is a big deal too.

That seems like another unit that cane be rolled into the deathball, unfortunately. Still more interesting than what it was before.

I'm happy to hear that the Thor might be retained it has become a key unit in TvZ and the Goliath 2.0 probably didn't cut it versus muta balls.

Maximusblack, top 8 NA masters (placed against GM a couple of times) just did his placement match on EU and lost to a platinum player.

You've got four choices now, SC2 GAF:

1. Maximusblack is terrible
2. Proof that NA is inferior to EU
3. The EU platinum guy was a smurf
4. All of the above

 

[Pandaman]

1. Maximusblack is terrible

 

[Yoshichan]

The correct answer is all of the above btw.

edit: well, we can't confirm #3 but we can confirm everything else.

or 5. Not drawing any conclusion from a sample size of one game.

:d

Spoiler

edit: or maybe I'm leaning a bit toward 1...

 

[Yoshichan]

or 5. Not drawing any conclusion from a sample size of one game.

:d

Top 8 masters should never, ever lose to platinum players. This was no cheese either, it was a straight up macro game with some zergling harassment at the start of the game.

Its so easy for Europeans though! They do it all the time with American new stories!

I love playing against failed cheese on ladder.

PvP and dude tried to proxy 2 gate me and got one of his zealots stuck in between the buildings and pylon.

maximusblack is not a top 8 master.
he's top 50.
ended last season at 35.

You should've killed the pylon with your probes. A present from you :3

He ended at 35 last season because he didn't play as much as he usually does near the end of the lock (vacation). He's always battling himself through top 8 masters and he's winning most of them. Getting to play GMs once or twice per day says a lot too.

Well, can you really blame us? It isn't our fault Florida is in the US!

bronze top 8, blizzards promotion system is broken!
dude im in silver league, but i play at gold level.
gold 1v1 atm, but im a plat level player.
im diamond league but i got cheesed into plat this season...
top 8 dia is basically masters, right? right?
i'd be top masters if i only played more...

every single person in every single league has said what you just said, and they're all wrong.

I know what you're trying to say but in this case it doesn't fit Maximusblack. He's been in top 8 MULTIPLE times (as in 10+ times), back and forth - and when he's dropped below top 8, it's because he hasn't been playing. He's been sent against GMs (and lost, of course).

edit: also you missed one. "I won 5 placement matches and got into masters, if I play more I'll get to GM but I can't be arsed"

 

[Pandaman]

1. Maximusblack is terrible

 

[Yoshichan]

This must be the case, yes.

edit: oh and EU ladder > NA ladder, I forgot to mention that too.

 

[Pandaman]

NAGAF > SEAGAF > EUGAF

 

[Yoshichan]

What's a SEA?

 

[Pandaman]

What's a SEA?

NAGAF > STRIEKGAF > EUGAF

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh, now I get it! SEA is a payment service that allows you to get to GM without any effort :3

 

[Spl1nter]

Funny story.

Last week I beat a masters player who lost a bunch of games right after season lock in order to beat silver-gold league players to get portraits.

He raged at the end of the game for me executing master league strats but being a silver level player. Didnt gg after the game so gg him after the game. Saw that he was masters and told him he was a shit human being for deranking and ruining other peoples experience just for a portrait. He was pretty pissed off but what made it so much better is that I was smurfing.

Oh ya, people hate random players on ladder its great, so much rage.

 

[Yoshichan]

Spl1nter, you should totally do like me: print screen rage messages and post them on GAF :3

i havent been saving them except for one or two. Funny one today was pvz on metro were I put down extra cannons because I scout pressure so he gets pissed of at me in game. I win the game with proxy pylon and warping in sentry stalker and running into his main and ff the ramp. After the game I message him gg, he replies no it wasnt and than quits the game.

The best is people raging about race imbalance to me since I play random.

 

[TheThunder]

Every Hots suggestion in this thread is terrible and if you agree with any of them you're terrible as well.

 

[Yoshichan]

After the game I message him gg

No wonder people rage at you, people HATE ggs after the game :lol

than they should of gg in the game, just reminding them to be manner.

 

[Yoshichan]

._. that's not how it works at all...

 

[Snowman]

._. that's not how it works at all...

I always do it too, if you're too mad to say gg i'm gonna do anything I possibly can to make you madder, maybe I'm a bad person..

 

[Yoshichan]

I always do it too, if you're too mad to say gg i'm gonna do anything I possibly can to make you madder, maybe I'm a bad person..

Yeah you're a bad person. GG'ing after the game is 10000x more bm than actual bm in-game.

 

[Snowman]

Yeah you're a bad person. GG'ing after the game is 10000x more bm than actual bm in-game.

Yeahh, but it's bm in retaliation to bm.. Two wrongs make a right ya know

 

[Yoshichan]

He might've just had a bad day (and normally ggs out of games), you're just making it worse :3

 

[Snowman]

He might've just had a bad day (and normally ggs out of games), you're just making it worse :3

Yeah, you're right to be fair but oh well, I usually only do it when they cheese me and I win and they don't gg

 

[Spl1nter]

He might've just had a bad day (and normally ggs out of games), you're just making it worse :3

Whats wrong with that?

 

[Yoshichan]

Yeah, you're right to be fair but oh well, I usually only do it when they cheese me and I win and they don't gg

If they cheese me then they deserve offensive ggs. You're doing right.

Whats wrong with that?

Here's the difference between a good man (me) and a bad man (you).

If someone hits me irl, I won't hit them back. You are a person that would hit back. You and I are not the same and thank God for that.

Actually the difference there is someone's bitch (you) and not someone's bitch (me)

Spoiler

Your analogy is horrible

 

[Yoshichan]

I don't understand what you're trying to say. You're calling yourself my bitch? PM me, I need details on how much you cost.

Spoiler

And you're a bm scrub. You're probably bm irl too.

 

[Snowman]

If they cheese me then they deserve offensive ggs. You're doing right.

Wait, so if they cheese, it's okay to bm them, but if they're bm it's not okay? I just don't get you Yoshi

 

[Spl1nter]

I don't understand what you're trying to say. You're calling yourself my bitch? PM me, I need details on how much you cost.

If someone punches you, you punch them back. You dont stand up for yourself you are a little bitch.

And you're a bm scrub. You're probably bm irl too.

have you ever played sports in real life or you just wear your finger away on games?
