don't worry.. that's just halo

Haven't been keeping up - only really managed to catch the fruitdealer games against fake boxer and some of the real boxer games. Real vs. Fake would be pretty funny - haven't caught all of the fake boxer games but from the two first ones I watched he does seem to be pretty good.

if you have to watch one game to realize how good foxer really is, watch game 1 vs. Kyrix

kid's 17 and made all the previous top players from gsl1 look like bronze leaguers.. fruitdealer, rainbow, sangho/babybyebye all got ripped apart by his marine play. rooting for him to be the first sc2 bonjwa

[homi29]

got some time to play coming up finally

what race/builds you guys running lately?

[bryanayrb]

terran

TvT i've just been 4rax marine pushing cause i can't stand tank viking 45~ minute games where both players split the map in half. sometimes 1-1-1 banshee if the spawns are far

TvP 1-1-1 banshee harass into a raven/marine/marauder push.. usually transition to viking/MMM from there vs. colossus or ghost/MMM vs. HT

TvZ depends on the map.. i've been doing hellion drops lately but they haven't gone too well so i might go back to tank/marine timing push adding thors for mutas

okay this stream is pretty good:

[xxhalcyonxx]

Agreed, was good until the viewers hit 10000 and above. Then when the game started, I was watching it like 20 frames per minute, totally impossible for me to watch or understand the match. Thanks for posting the live stream anyway. At least i manage to see who wins as all the viewers left and the view count hits lesser than 10000, the stream was smooth again.

[bryanayrb]

wow the finals were only like a week ago?

anyway... *spoiler*

nestea wrecked foxer.. played pretty flawlessly and foxer's marine pushes didn't do too much. overall i wasn't as entertained as watching fruitdealer's epic journey through gsl1 but gsl2 had some good storylines (foxer, boxer/nada, zenio/idra)

gsl3 is already underway.. nada/tester didn't qualify, rainbow is out in ro64, julyzerg is in ro32

as for next year's tournies

Alright guys. I've been playing about a two weeks and have been watching the HDStarcraft/Day9 videos for about a month. I started out really bad...like 5 and 15. Then I went on run of 15 and 2. Now I've lost my last 4 games in a row even though I've been scouting, macroing effectively, trying to counter my opponents strategy.

What's wrong? If I can't beat these people in the Bronze league then what? How do I get out of this slump?

[xxhalcyonxx]

In short, play more.

When you have been playing often and still suck, it can only mean one thing, that whatever you are doing, you are doing it wrong.

Do note the better players lose too. Losing is not the end, it only means you got certain areas you need to improve. It's hard to get you out of bronze league if you have not given information on how you lose. By right, scout and macro is sufficient for you to get out of bronze league.

If it's team game and you lose a lot, probably your ally sucks. If it's 1v1 and you lose a lot. . . , well. . . , it means you.

[XXXL]

^ truth, and keep watching replays and casts!

[zenii]

Another good thing is to watch your own replays where you lose, to identify what you did wrong and see if you can fix that in your next game. Honestly I think this helped me the most out of anything else.

[xxhalcyonxx]

Yeah, but I do get inspirations from videos of others.

The first month was a slow month as I am trying to be familiar with the units and buildings through custom games (the dreaded Arakan Citadel). I wasn't that bad as I have some Star Craft knowledge. I gained my confidence and proceeded to ladder games, I still lost often but always managed to even the score, equal wins, equal loses. It's the "after one month" phase that I started having this habit of watching replays and reading build orders and graph. This seemed to be good habits to keep, especially if you are one who really is passionate about the game and wants to excel in it.

(I am a 1v1 gold and 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 platinum)

(Z)FruitDealer vs (P)HongUnPrime.WE

(T)TLAF-Liquid`Jinro vs (P)choyafOu

Maps: Steppes of War, Xel'Naga Caverns, Metalopolis, Delta Quadrant, Blistering Sands

nestea, fruitdealer, foxer and jinro being the fan favourites for sure

gsl1 champion, gsl2 champion, gsl2 finalist and the strongest foreign player in the gsl could all possibly advance. also the racial balance in the ro8 is pretty good... the protoss are all really strong solid players. lots of void ray play lately especially in PvZ

also

leenock pooped a bit. what the hell can zerg even do to that spread

[xxhalcyonxx]

HhHAhh very entertaining. "tahhh meng ahhh" LOLOL

In other news, this is the winner of the Electronic Sports League Female SC2 Cup:

sUPf7VaaOMQ

not bad + she can kick my ass at SC2. nerd heaven

From another thread but it's StarCraft 2! I want to see more female players!

[bryanayrb]

well, looks like we either got a P or T champion coming up

HongUn vs. Rain

MC vs. Jinro (teamkill ogsliquid)

bo7.. most people cheering for HongUn vs. Jinro finals. not looking forward to a Toss mirror match final which is more likely though unless Jinro pulls something out of his ass. MC has some near flawless play as does HongUn

[bryanayrb]

Rain vs. MC finals on Saturday (3AM est)

when asked about the next match, MC said "very easy". i'm predicting a 4-1 with Rain winning one cheese game

Code S groups

Group A: IMNesTea, MakaPrime.WE, TheBestfOu, PoltPrime.WE

Group B: TSL.FruitDealer, oGsZenio, IMmvp, oGsjookTo

Group C: HongUnPrime.WE, SlayerS_`BoxeR`, oGsTheWinD, oGsHyperdub

Group D: TSL.Rain, KyrixZenith, choyafOu, TSL.sSKS

Group E: ST.RainBOw, NsP.Genius, LeenockfOu, AnyproPrime.WE

Group F: oGsMC, oGsInCa, oGsNaDa, sanZenith

Group G: MarineKingPrime.WE, NEXLiveForever, TSL.Clide, LegalMinDZenith

Group H: oGsEnsnare, TLAF-Liquid`Jinro, CheckPrime.WE, EGIdra

if sanZenith gets past Group F even though his play will be getting completely dissected by oGs then props to him. MC Inca and Nada are all strong players.. sucks all three of them are in the same group

D and E look pretty strong as well.. H is gonna be ridiculous (only two foreigners in the same group). i don't see Idra advancing

on that note

yQAe99qwChw

his wine and cheese are proportionate

been a while, dunno if anyone is keeping up with GSL/sc2

anyway, IMMVP pretty much dummied MarineKing in the last GSL finals 4-0 and IM won the GSL teamleague 5-4 against StarTale

i gotta say, the teamleague ticket is way worth it at $5 and the quality of the games (especially the finals) were really good. GSL's new, larger maps make a big difference in play and hopefully Blizzard implements them into ladder.

oh yeah, protoss 200/200 deathballs roll over everything in bigger maps now

lastly, boxer's new documentary on returning to starcraft (2)

BITD7Evc34I

[MGC3]

^ agreed, GSL Team League was so good, absolutely worth the $5.

Biggest rumor going around is that inControl's upcoming "breaking" announcement will be a North American Starcraft League, so psyched.

And with idra having just left the Korean scene, it's almost too good to be true.

May or may not be the countdown to NASL

[hellogoodbye]

anybody else just watch the TSL finals? best fucking finals ever.

[vitasoy]

who still plays any of the sc on sufu? i finally got into sc2, surprised the rax/marine rush still works lolll

[Jokez]

bringing back this thread

drg vs genius finals this saturday. weird not having a terran in the finals.

[Jokez]

bringing back this thread again..so much stuff has happened since february lol

bw players have been playing sc2 for a while now and have got me interested in the game again especially with a new season of proleague..no more of that horrible hybrid league. also jaedong is now on EG.

[seanfromiran]

broodwar so much cooler than sc2

[Jokez]

yeah T__T the matchups don't look as refined , especially pvp, but sc2's only been out 2 years. heart of the swarm looks like it'll be good though

it's painful to see bisu, stork, and jangbi slump and lose in sc2. jaedong's alright, fantasy's pretty good, and flash is one of the best but it's flash lol

[HAZARDkid]

does anyone still play broodwar? i play mostly zero clutter money map though lol
