i'm not the genius asking for a transcript of a 2 hour youtube show.
I'm not demanding a transcript, I just asked if there was a transcript anywhere. It's a long interview and it's not uncommon for parts of video interviews to have written excerpts, especially when there's controversial content, but I'm sure there's no reason to respond to you with reason and logic when you're just trolling
It took you one post to go from 'asking' to 'demanding' and you say I'm the troll not worth a reasoned or logical response.

Genna is tearing pieces out of teams for their treatment of players.
Why the fuck is what I'm saying so unreasonable to you?
After installing and doing the tutorial (I didn't realize it was THAT basic) I tried the novice league, but after a couple of minutes got no match. Then I too tried that 30 challenge map thing. I had to look at the tips on most of the levels, though. It's nice of Blizzard to include the tips/solutions.
The blink train one was difficult for me, since it seems like after (control thing)
shift-B, you have to shift-right-click twice or the first one won't register for some reason
Regarding the siege tank one you mentioned, if you want a tip:
The tanks can't hit you if you are close enough, and blink has a long cooldown so you don't need to worry about micro. Just run forwards and blink as close to one of the tanks as possible. You will only take shots from the other tank, which should allow you to kill the non-shooting tank quickly, and then you can walk over to the shooting tank and get inside its non-shooty zone as well.

Didn't those 2 get mentioned specifically for getting a salary when the LG announcement happened ?
MVP doesn't need it anyway, dude keeps winning and getting the salary himself.
No, he was a huge player in Proleague for the defunct MBC Heroes, but never did quite as well in solo leagues. After MBC disbanded he was on Team 8 with Jaehoon, Jaedong, etc. He's been active for like 7-8 years and is known for being one of the Kespa players that actually interacts with foreign fans. For instance, he talked to his fans in English on TL and even did a TL Attack back in the day. He was also in the Korean TV show "HyungJoon Becomes a Pro-Gamer."
God I'm a nerd.

so in short, another tax write off for TL that won't win anything
Nah, he's gonna do very well and win quite a lot. Just watch.

He'll match Zenio's achievements in no time!
He's playing SCII now so he actually has a chance to start fresh. Decent sponsors only gonna help.
This is just general advice for anyone new trying the game, but skip the practice league. It is played at a slower pace and the maps are different. If you want to get familiar with things, play some games against the AI at faster game speed.
Doesn't it make more sense to get on top of 1 tank, then shoot the tank that IS shooting at you. This way you can kill it before it kills either of your stalkers?
Either way thanks. I'll probably do this later tonight just for shits and giggles.

harsh.
In unrelated TL news, when's Nony going to announce his retirement/coach position/switch to lol?
Thanks, I guess that makes sense about the pace and maps.
For some reason I thought stalkers were melee. If they're ranged then yeah that would work.
250k viewers on the lol stream right now.
Who the fuck is watching that? Crazy.

Btw, it's 12pm-3pm on a Thursday. People are still at work/school. Viewer numbers will go up as the tournament goes on.

This ain't the finals yet, and 1 American/western viewer probably account for 30 Chinese ones when it comes to spending money on the actual game and service.

Sucks for Koreans and it's really easy to see why they leave teams and want to join foreign teams. On the topic of Mvp/Nestea, they probably didn't have salaries before but in the LG-IM announcement they specifically mentioned that top players, and Mvp/Nestea would be receiving salaries. It was Mark (Quantic CEO?Founder?) who made the Mvp/Nestea comment and considering they were partnered with IM briefly in 2011 it makes sense why he would say that.
I wonder who the other three players living with Crank in Seoul are. MMA & some other Slayers/exSlayers players maybe? Very sad :/

Welcome to Starcraft 2
Well, I do have some RTS experience, since I am mainly a PC gamer. I've played Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, and Age of Empires. But, I never played a RTS game competitively, but I'd like to change that with SC2. I think it is a more popular game overall, so I guess it isn't a bad idea to start learning this game. At any rate, it would be a good way to lessen the wait for CoH2.
I haven't gotten a chance to play it much yet. I was trying to learn the Protoss units and how they work in an AI game but nothing much other than that. What's the best way to "train"? AI battles? Should I go through the story mode?
Hellix said:
Story mode is played almost entirely as Terran so it won't get you used to playing Protoss. As for training, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "train". If you're new to the game just try a few games vs AI to understand the basic mechanics of playing such as knowing what your units do, what builds what etc. After that just play.
the only meaningful training is 1v1 and build order practice, playing the story or against the ai as if they were a legitimate opponent will just give you bad habits. Unless you don't know your units, like vaporak said.

All the context was still on the page :S
Its funny though, the days he is unavailable because he is "too busy" are the same days as the LoL championship finals and he has been posting in the LoL forums all day talking about the tournament. But at least major can now have a free win, so thats nice for him.

I see that your neogaf game is as good as your sc2 game.
Well there's various things one can do to jump into the game to start learning it.
If I could go back and talk to my nooblet self to speed up the process I'd do this:
Play the challenges mode. I learned much better macro and base building for the one that wants you to get to 2 base as a Terran fast, while holding off lings and Ultras. There's a few others in there that give you some good micro help too like attacking in 5 different spots around the map as a Protoss with various units.
Next, find 1 build online, and practice it against the A.I until you feel you could do it online vs an opponent.
Learn the common cheese strategies of each race, so that you can properly detect it. This happens too often in bronze and silver on NA ladder where you just go against nothing but cannon rushes and 6 pools, so you want to be prepared to check for that constantly.
Practice macro more than micro, always. Don't get supply blocked, ever.
My final tip, and the most important one ignoring any and all of this: DO NOT STOP PLAYING! Make time for AT LEAST 1 game a day against a real life opponent.
---------
There's plenty of other things that are worth noting like ask GAF anything you need, practice against GAFfers if you want a less stressful way to practice against a real opponent, and watch recorded videos/replays of people doing the same build as you on various maps so you can see how they execute it.
