Yep, Idra is tilted as fuck
'You can't comeback as Zerg. It's not a comeback race.'
And for the most part I agree with him with the style he plays. He expects his opponents to play near flawlessly, and for the most part they do (Korean Terrans).

i already do
active players are distributed:
bronze/silver/gold/plat/diamond/masters+
20/20/20/20/18/2
Top 8 Bronze just means you have the guts to ladder which is a feat in itself for a newcomer. The bonus pool is very forgiving enough to place you up there. Doesn't necessarily mean they're better than an unranked player at that skill level.
i dunno, burning bonus pool means you have at least figured out the win conditions o the game, thats a start compared to most unranked.
are you sure?
As a Zerg player I'm all about the passive play, because I k now the longer a game goes, the better my macro is in my leagues to come out on top. I'll rarely attack and basically do Sim City to keep taking more of the map, UNLESS I'm up 3 bases and he's still on one.
Retting it up, huh??
Seriously, I have to learn Ret style, was soo impressed by his approach to macro and defense.... what a beast. If he didn't make really poor decisions from time to time he would be absolutely top.
so any of u fools on dota2? shit is pretty fun! although the game on the whole is rather bad (compared only with starcraft).. it still feels like the most bad ass custom game EVER MADE. and the interface is so sick, its only beta and its already lightyears ahead of starcraft. sc2gaf declared inactive
Whose dick do I have to suck to get into the beta!?
Thanks. Damn, guess Platinum ain't that good, then. Gotta work my way up!
So far I say I have a good grasp on the game, but am not familiar with a lot of general strategies, and I can't quite maintain macro all that well in the mid stages of the game, where I'll go above 1k minerals fairly easily. When I scout my oponent and see heavy gas, I know he's teching. When he's staying on 1 base, he's going for an early timing push. When he's fast expanding, he's going for economy. Beyond that, I don't recognize specific builds and timings (for example, the 6-gate that was quoted to me yesterday).
I guess I'm at a decent place for only having a dozen or so games under my belt. Most of my knowledge comes from watching the GSL, and simply emulating what I see there helps quite a bit. Still, I feel like it's going to take a lot of work and practice to advance much further as I'm going to have to start seriously paying attention to specific signs and timings rather than just the "feel" of the game.
When I see my oponent going for early economy, especially Protoss, I'm starting to go for baneling busts. I feel like I don't have the skill and situational awareness to do very well once I start going to 3 bases, so I'm trying to end the games earlier if possible. So far, my games are usually won at tier 1.5 or tier 2. Either I baneling bust and take it, or I defend a heavy timing push and win with a counter-attack.

So I'm out of town next week for business in a town that has nothing in it besides an Applebee's so I'm going to take my desktop w/ me so I can play SC2. Yea, I'm hooked.
I would give you one but i don't have any D:
thing is about dota2 is that its a pain in the ass to start since there are so many heroes and items. But ya the interface is just sooooo good
and teamliquid is being pretty supportive with all the dota2 streams, wish is cool :]
i just mean the game/replay/chat type stuff
they just updated it and i don't see any problems with it ;o

why'd you link to the middle of the thread?
no offense to dota2gaf and hongaf, but most of dota2gaf comes from hongaf and hongaf is just nothing comparable with sc2gaf . Moslty why i only play with sc2gaf (knives / ksan)
i was wondering the same thing

I posted for bet on nfl thread. let me check first to see if someone took it lol.
he's on 100 posts per page mode
A new monitor may be in place too, current TN panels can put out some really washed out pictures. The change from my 120Hz gaming TN to my 40" TV panel is huuuge, watching SC2 on that thing reveals a whole other level of stand-out. OLED monitors can't come fast enough :-\People who say this need to speak to an optician asap.
Also the new map:

Also the new map:
He's right, though. Some of the heroes are too similar in size to the creeps. There's no confusing heroes to creeps in HoN since they're all bigger than creeps.
Once you get used to it, I'm sure you can distinguish quickly on the fly, but it's difficult for the first few games.
Glad to see the map has been updated. Did they update the hero symbols on the map as well? I feel like they needed some sort of outline to make them stand out more. Some can be difficult to spot at a glance, especially to someone who has a bit of red/green colorblindness.
For me in the little I've watched it is because everything shares a muted color palette. I'm sure it would be fine if I played more.
But yeah, back on topic:
Ghosts are such bullshit.
