Ouch, I've gone like 1-8 since losing to Splinter earlier today
Haha, made you realize how horrible you are. You should start off-racing your toss to realize your true level of scrubbery

Come on guys, help a buddy out here!
I only watch GSL champion streams.
Not a fan of the maps he's made but it's still pretty cool.
Corran Horn
May the Schwartz be with you
Cool. ESV seems to be getting alot of their maps going around lately so good choice.

That's a lot of imbalanced maps in his portfolio.
It's because protoss all FFE and at the earliest make a 14 forge. You probably get there just before the forge finishes, and if they don't already have a pylon at their minerals to start a cannon it's gg. Many Protoss put their 2nd pylon at the natural and so auto lose.
I always 9 scout PvZ so I can start a cannon in my minerals slightly faster if I see Zerglings or a really early pool.

1 base colossi into mothership. What else is there?
On most maps you can defend a 10pool - and i presume a 9 pool - with a 14 forge, just gotta cannon main if you usually go nex first and don't scout it in time.
To be the ultimate cheesier you have to cannon rush into DTs into 1 base colosi into mothership with archons

You fucking GENIUS!
I'm going to work on that build order.
Edit: Thinking this through, we need to flesh out the process behind all of this. Is it cannon rush into DT defense with 1 base colossi drops to harass then start production on the mothership while massing archons for the final recall push?

>.> There is nowhere near enough carriers to make this the ultimate cheeser. I'm going to start laddering again and just go carries in every matchup. Someone needs to convince blizzard they are worth keeping.

You can't cheese with a paper thin unit. I'd rather go mass observers...
On that note, there's another build to try.

I'm always in the thread between 9-5. I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
Your internet provider only provides internet during working hours? Silly Canadians, internet should be all day long.

We go outside after 5 to play Hockey. It's why our nation isn't obese.
Serious question for everyone: What makes a good map for you?

What does 9 pool exactly do and how does it work?
chances are he gets there before there is a wall or a cannon and just wins

I've noticed most Protoss don't build a wall in ZvP, at least in the lower leagues. I'm not sure why. Terran are just bred to turtle, so they always do, but any time I've done an early pool build I've been able to waltz right into the Protoss base.

Reviving this after I helped derail it.
I'm willing to post up $100 for the prize pool.
Why 9 pool instead of 6 pool then?
It's far more economical. If you do some damage but don't win, you end up roughly even, or Zerg is even ahead. With a 6pool if it fails, you lose.
Makes sense, but how far off is the timing between a 6 and a 9? I'm more of the economical approach of Zerg, but if I am going to cheese, I'd rather do the 6 and just let it rock instead of showing up with a 9 pool, can't do any damage, now what? Try to play catch up and drag a game out to hope he fucks up?
Edit: What league did this net you 4 wins against P though?
Take a third base trololol

Pretty massive news for mlg, nasl and twitch. Ads will be so much easier for them to get now.
About two days after they put it in.
I believe the article said something about it being bad for the highest and lowest ends of the ladder.
Edit: Found the post: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/4427703901
Ya, high level players kept playing guys who were useless for training, and low level players just got smashed constantly.

Played five placements matches, got into diamond and now you're stuck there and want to get demoted XD?I was against it from day one.
Silly Yoshi! I played my 5 matches, got into Diamond, and retired until HoTS like a boss nerd!
It was just a shitty idea from the start for them to do it no matter where you are on the ladder. It impedes proper improvement I feel when you aren't fighting same caliber players to maintain a 50-50 win so you are still having fun, but then also start to raise it past the 50-50 because of your hard work to inch to that next placement.
Getting roflstomped in SC2 is some depressing ass shit.

Hey guys, so I've posted here a little bit, I'm loving SC2, I watch Day9, but I basically want to consume everything SC2 but don't really know which way to go. Just click all the links in OP and try to learn as much as possible? About the tourneys, etc?
Also, I was 1v1ing, TvP and I saw he was going to bring high templars via a scan. This is on Shakuras, so before we engage I drop 4 tanks on the high ground and he has no vision. He was high platinum and I got called a noob. Is this just him being angry or what? I'm still a noob in general to SC2 but I don't see why that would be noobish.

bo15 wtf
Hes just angry, ive seen pros put tanks on the high ground before.
Ignore people's comments in-game. 95% of the time it's just someone raging because they're losing. People say nonsensical things all the time.
Watch MLG/IPL/IEM/Dreamhack/GSL to learn things, read the Teamliquid strategy forum for some build orders, and just play a lot. Oh, and listen to State of the Game podcast.
