StarCraft 2

Maybe. My other thought is since my knowledge of the metagame is a bit stale I may just be using builds the opponent isn't really expecting. In all my TvT's I've played I've been the only person opening cloak banshee. And my opponents are like "Holy shit ... banshees!" Then in my TvZ I went 11/11 3reaper, CC, hellions and the fucking zerg lost outright to my 3 reapers. I built a bunker by his natural (didn't have an OL ontop of it to see the bunker) and he was trickling zerglings in like 4 at a time. I then went 12/12 Reaper, CC, Hellions, Cloak-less banshee and the Zerg had no clue what to do with the banshee other than make 1000 spore crawlers so my 5rax bio push afterwards demolished him. I'm playingaboutthe skill level I was when I stopped playing and nerds were crushing me (high plat vs mid diamond.) Maybe I'm just getting odd games.

Well, I also won a few games just by rushing 3 stalkers in PvT even though it's a PvP build, terran can be rather fragile early on.

3 Stalker rush is actually "a thing" TvP. It punishes people who get a reaper then reactor marines but fail to scout the stalker count or try to cut the bunker. It is a fairly easy pressure to outright lose against. I wouldn't say I see it often but it isn't too rare.

You playing again scrub? I've actually kinda been thinking about picking the game up again but dunno.

Edit: Fuck it, bought HoTS. I'm drunk but time to rage some noobs.

I tried some unranked on NA as zerg, the guy was platinum, but he had 60 apm and spent over 2 minutes supply capped. I can see how you feel this is easy.

1-4 so far. Come at be bitches. I was massively ahead in every game and should've won them all, but I took terrible engagements each time cause I'm so rusty after not playing a ladder game in over 2 years. All my opponents have been diamond and they all play passive as shit. Is that pretty common nowadays or what? 2 base all in 4 lyf.

Can't 1a your way to victory anymore Disp. Should learn to micro like every other toss player.

If you have APM to support, it even little harass can go a long way, since it derails people from their builds. However, if it does more damage to your than your opponent, it's obviously not that great

We can play some before the HoF game tonight. Got plans for the morning/afternoon.

Holy fuck what am I even playing against. Some Zerg went 14hatch into attempted fucking proxy hatch. Proxy hatch is a legit build but not off the back of 14 hatch lol. He also couldn't seem to understand the concept of making your CC on a supply cap of 19 because he tried to creep-block my second fucking depot that I was never going to build at the wall anyways.

I won't be around this week, but will probably around this weekend/next week for some gameage.

There is a lot of irony in SKT1 losing proleague finals thanks to a bunker rush.

Speaking of bygone ages:BW Reunion Tournament

Looking at the list of players, it could be fun, but I expect cheese galore

I'm looking forward to that BW tournament. Would have been cool if they also got Idra/Tasteless/Day/Artosis to participate as well.

I'm watching CS:GO right now and I hope Blizzard can learn from CS:GO on how to reinvent a failing game to make it profitable and popular.

CC F2P developer now leading SC2

This could be significant or not. I believe that job was open for a few years.

There are a ton of old school players in this Red Bull qualifier. MKP, Creator, BboongBboong, Losira, GuMiHo ... just a bunch.

MC tries to go proxy stargate cheeze against First, gets scouted, starts losing the pylon and raises a probe to drop a 2nd. Casters note that the 2nd pylon does not look like it's in range to power the stargate, MC chronos the stargate as the pylon finishes, no power, GG.

Think I may try and push to get back into Masters league. I really like where the state of balance is at the moment. But I'm sure since Terrans are doing well now the WM buff will get re-nerfed.

For some reason I broke out laughing during Patience vs Stardust WCS EU when two hallucinated phoenix were shooting each other next to two observers. The epic battle continues

I really wish they'd stop screwing around the most unreliable weapon in our arsenal for balance changes...
