Yesterday I played against a good toss... this was on shakuras.

1) He pressured my quick third, nothing special.

2) Got blink stalkers, pressured.

3) Got DTs, which when he pressured my third sent them in my natural and main, had detection so killed em off.

4) Continued blink stalker pressure, now with quite a ball, still sent dts into my main so my micro needed to be on top....

5) Got a fucking warp prism and dropped zelots/dts all over the place.

GG...

But he was quite good.

thats how i read it in my mind.

Well, first off I should have gotten spines to kill the DTs since I could then let it be and focus on the engament.

Second, the warp prism play was, well, not sure how to tackle that during all this, since I couldn't go mutas since he had only stalkers (and dts).

I belive on problem was that I couldn't get enough drones at the start. But lesson learned.

Don't group your shit in one control group. Keep a scout marine forward.
Abuse the fuck out of scan (Get 4 vikings to kill observers) and cloak ghost/banshee. Stim groups of 4 to snipe HT.
Drop like a motherfucker. Protoss think they are hot shit with warpin, 200/200 CANT DO SHIT CAN YOU.

I had ghosts in one control group and everything else in another. I had a bunch of vikings because he also had a good amount of colossi. The colossi weren't the problem though. I tried to scan, sneak my ghosts in and get some emps off real quick. Didn't work so well because I ate like 6 fucking storms.

But yea I wasn't dropping enough. I should have done that to control his expansions. He was on two base for so long and then I fucked up.
 
I know this is a tired question but is there a non-super shady way to get a Korean SC2 account? I don't have a RoK SSN and I don't think my ARC number will work. I can probably get a friend to let me use their number but I don't even know where to buy the game in that case. Just off of battle.net?

Why so hard :(((

apparently during Flash's rehabilitation he got into master without even knowing what the new units did

LOOOL

I've seen stephano go from placements to gm using only zerglings, so it's not that surprising that flash could get to masters without knowing what the units do.

Of course flash is no stephano, but Marines are better than lings.

you can get to gm by only 6pooling --

SEA for sure

Prob NA too

I find this hard to believe. How? Is it just the sheer fact that you'll play so many games so fast, or playing at a certain time of day, what's the secret?

Anytime I 6 pool, it's scouted, and I lose.

How dare you mention Halo in this thread!
and on yoshi type news some dude bought this

yoshi not a real mkp fan.
Yes, being real is a all about having money. 'cuz that's all I can see in that picture - some rich asshole, being another casual Foxer-fan (like everyone else and their mothers nowadays), buying all the Prime and MKP-related stuff.

It honestly doesn't prove shit. Give me money and I can buy all kinds of IdrA-shit - that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a big fan. It just means that I can blow money easily.

Now you're starting to understand!!

It's a sad day in my heart. Esports is forever divided. The Halo Wars 2 sequel produced by Blizzard will not come to fruition. The game of the future where the units are controlled by a SC2 type player to do the macro and control, but the actual micro is played as a FPS by Halo players.

This dream baby will never be, because you can't accept me for who I am Yoshi. Now I will make an EU account and GM my way to master via 6 pooling, just so I can run into you on ladder and make you rage! RAGE I SAY!

Thumbsticks? Micro? Unimpressed Flash is unimpressed.


So, everyone is getting randomly seeded then!

Real esports is flash controlling an army of 200 real life nerds in a battle.

And the signal? Shit. Why was it in the shape of a dong and balls? I thought it was a signal for Foxer to come to your house.

Maps will be the GSL map pool. When will be determined after the bracket is made and I figure out what type of system will be used, whether it be single, double elimination or something else.

Typically you figure out how much time you need before you say when it will be.

On that note...

make it ladder please, much easier to practice.

We need to come to a general consensus. I can throw up a poll to see which map pool people want and go from there. I can't imagine there's a shortage of people playing the GSL map pool on the NA ladder.

Either way, I'm not going to allow the disgusting map pool that was the last tournaments.

Are we not going to make this a topic in Gaming to give people who don't check this thread a chance to join?

Do we want to? Honest question. The people on the list so far are the ones that have kept up with the SC2 community here. Personally, its been a year since the last tournament and I think you guys deserve to have the fairest chance at it, but if you want a larger player pool, then I can definitely create one.

Keep in mind this isn't the "thread" for the tournament. Just me getting my shit together so I can come up with a rough plan for getting the foundation hammered out.

Last time it was ladder people bitches they wanted gsl / tournament maps.

Map pool is a lot better now and we can remove Shakuras, Meta and Tal'darim from the map pool. Force cross on others like antiga and entombed. No one wants to play zergdual sight or learn Atlantis shipyard.
