thats true, but i forget the plyrs name, but his nickname was the robot bc he did everything by the book. Bisu is similiar to that and a solid plyr to me is entertaining, not FBH pelvin thrust entertaining, but M2K entertaining.

I think one of my favorite matches in the last couple years was Stork vs GGplay's match that went to an hour and twenty minutes.

I couldn't fathom staying on point for that long.

the one on andromeda?

I remember actually staying up and watching it live :laugh:

at some point I nodded off, woke up an hour later, and was very very confused that the same game was still going

That was really good as well, and yeah @ Pocky.

Just have to love that he starts off going Corsair/Reaver.. Switches to CARRIERS against Zerg, gets countered by Devourers?! and wins with MASS archons rofl.

I used to played. tried competitively, but APM is too low. For any of you guys who don't know what apm is (im assuming all of you guys). Its actions per minute, basically tech skill in ssbm terms haha. Pros have an average of like 400 apm I believe, while some geniuses can win with just 200apm (mind games) haha

Lol... APM was mentioned in the fifth post in this thread...

Anyway... I don't have Starcraft (yet) but I may buy it since it's cheap now. I'm really looking forward to Starcraft II. It looks pretty cool.

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
lol

any1 know of any good games going on right now, that i can look up on gomtv or teamliquid
I watch more starcraf than 99.99% of the caucasian population, get at me.

GOM classic is done, but they're doing a $10,000 playoff or something between the season one winner (
Jaedong
) and the season two winner (
Bisu
) this saturday night at like 4AM East Coast time. Should be an epic Bo5. The MSL bracket has begun round 1 and the OSL is finishing up their pool dealies.

If you want specific recent games, um, hit me up on AIM (WWRDude) tomorrow or something and let me know what sort of games you're in the mood to watch. The Shinhan Winner's league has been making for some really exciting proleaague matches since one player can catch fire and just smoke the other team.

I camp boards and AIM all dai at work so just hit me up whenever. My projects right now are boring and low on attention span requirement :p

Aww if Plank is back now I have to get a mouse. Screw you guys :( lol
YES! all it took was Plank showing interest in the game again to finally accomplish what I've been trying to make happen forever. Also I would've bought you a mouse for your bdai if you weren't such a huge meanie who likes to infract me for homoerotic posts.



Pocky, I miss the old you @ craft, get good again plz.

Today I figured out the best timing for a 2fac vs an FE vs toss. Pretty much FD timing, except you actually double! NO WAY lol. It's pretty easy to keep your tank alive, because you bring a long 4 rines, 2 scvs, and a vulture, not to mention you have two facs rallied to the opponent pumping vultures. And if you're not confident in keeping your tank alive vs 3 goons and a zlot, you can build another tank, but I find it won't be as effective, because 1 tank and 3 vults + remaining rines kills the expo, and can get probes in the main depending on how well you do it. An AI pylon could ruin this, but I think it's unexpecting because it's so fast.

it could work, i think it depends on the tank micro most bc if thats gone, its over even if you get another tank up, bc a cannon or 2 should be up at the expo, and by the time the second tank comes toss's economy advantage will start to show as the toss pumps units.

Dude... A cannon that early? Impossible. Also goon range will not be done, so tanks outrange the goons, so it's really easy to micro.
