HotS is the salvation

The return of the casuals.

I love you guys

The TL doc was good. I like the fact that it was focused more on the team than jumping from event to event.

 

[Vaporak]

less players, there was some graph comparing every seasons, it goes down every season =/

I'd like to see evidence one way or another. I imagine it would have dropped off compared to say season 1, but eventually has leveled off.

I'd imagine Bronze-Plat players get frustrated that they're not improving and eventually move on to other games. I number of Diamon-GM players probably hasn't changed nearly as drastically.

Not to mention that people are just waiting for HoTS since all the strats they currently practice will probably be for naught once the expansion hits.

but all those strats pound in a sense for the games mechanics; so those bronze to plats will still be only bronze to plat barring gross imbalances in the initial beta build.

Huh NASL is advertising on the front page of Giant Bomb. Guess they got some new funding.

CBSi partnership with NASL is to get advertisement. Giantbomb is also owned by CBSi.

[Snowman]

Plus the leagues work out on active players, so if it is all the worse players that stop playing you end up with like league inflation or some shit

I don't have as much experience as some on here, but that's the first time I've seen throwing infested terran into the vortex to counter the archons.

its a pretty old solution.

Nice series on NASL right now Hero vs. Ryung. Very tense games.

 

[Striek]

Nice series on NASL right now Hero vs. Ryung. Very tense games.

Game with Stephano vs. BeastyQT after. Stephano is behind on economy, equal supply, not only beats but crushes completely seiged terran defensive position with roach/ling/infestor/queen. Half the tanks were on the high ground and hard to get to.

I saw that and went fuck...tanks are completely useless in SC2 and TvZ looks hard as shit now. I remember a time when zerg had to be up a base to compete and couldn't be cost-effective too. I thought Beasty played a literally perfect game and would crush that push, so did Bitterdam.

MLG Arenas to be free now, due to MLG Anaheim being such a success and securing new sponsors
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=347271

That should kill the nonsense arguments about MLG being greedy, fleecing fans, PPV being a joke, etc

 

[Pancakes]

More e-Sports! Yeaaaa!

 

[Hazaro]

I did my part.

It's not my fault I've been working harder than Day9 irl and in this thread. I even provided a link to the news story, which you didn't provide. Unprepared and lazy, just like a foreigner

Last year is last year. This year SF will realize they should have threw everything and the kitchen sink at Peyton

 

[nilbog21]

Just watched the TL doc. I had pretty low expectations but I enjoyed the interviews.

my favorite part is when boxer(?) checks the quality of the TL shirt on Taeja LOL

 

[Deadman]

I didnt know the nasl round of 16 was being played offline and that it was yesterday. They advertise poorly.

Stephano vs hero in the live ro8 should be awesome though.

That can't be you playing because there are more than 3 hotkeys.

The chat is all about zerg is imba, so i just tell them they just whine to much, terran has the advantage for like 2 years now, etc. Then they want to start kicking me and just before i got kicked i found out that me and panda are the only non terran, hahgahghgah

edit: bahaghahghagh

Spoiler

Panda, those pics are filled with goldmine quotes.

 

[Pancakes]

hahah, oh man. Those poor poor Terrans having to deal with imba zergs.

 

[Yoshichan]

Holy shit, when did this place become douche/zerg infested? Is it the new cool thing now that terran's equally as bad as every other race?

Basically, T has just been imbalanced for so long (not so much anymore obviously) it's just funny to hear Terrans (or anyone for that matter) whine about imbalances in races. Especially when they make gold level arguments like that tard was making.

 

[Awesome Animals]

That looks incredible. What was your record in that game Panda? Did you try arguing with them at all?

You're a masters player beating up on gold league kids? Why is this funny?

I'm pretty sure the nature of that game type is that you don't know what level the people joining are. I also don't think Panda and Holden posted that stuff to talk about how great they are but rather to display how whiny all those terrans were.
