Watch the Korean stream. That's what I do for Code A.

I've no problem with Torch, but moletrap is super retarded/obnoxious/annoying.

Moletrap knows BW and was a member of that community, he's not a bad choice for OGN. I'd imagine Torch will not be casting SC2 definitively - as with GOM he'll move behind the scenes eventually. I think Moletrap will be decent if paired with a solid analysis commentator like Artosis, Mr Bitter (ie the best), etc

How is LoL as a spectator esport? I've heard the games can be rather long and somewhat repetitive. Also are there defacto best players/teams?

It's terrible. Games are dull, and the metagame has been the same for like a year now.

From what I've read the lack of denying and the huge tower damage makes the game pretty boring in the early game. No idea about the best teams though.

How is it not? Watching a team coordinate big plays and seeing their opponents try to react to it, it's like a chess game. Games go from 20-40 minutes and involve a great deal of back and forth in lanes.

People consider TSM to be the best team though they have been getting beat bad recently.

I've tried watching LoL and it is just boring to me.

Starcraft and Quake are my two favorite games to spectate.

I feel like I take this dumb game too seriously. Just placed Plat on my alt account. I'm losing to dumb shit though on my main making dumb mistakes in gold league games ~_~ ._.

you need the right positive mindset to train in this game or else you will go on a lose streak b/c you aren't focusing.

My play fluctuates too much b/c of that...

anybody ever deal with this problem? anybody have any advice?

Don't go right into another game after you lose. Take a 15-20 minute break and then queue up again.

talked about it earlier in mumble

there is a patch log, mainly for Galaxy Editor, which the map makers seem to like alot

And apparently you can add a tutorial button that makes you download a tutorial map before you play the actual game. kinda nice

Flash losing a TvP to Desrow.

Where is your god now, Haz?

To be fair, I think he would have taken it if he'd waited for his upgrades to kick in before the first fight. He was at only +1 against 2/2 when that happened.

hi again :x
and regardless of his current results, flash's play is a joy to watch. I get the same feeling as watching Stephano play, they both macro in the way in the way I expect great players of their respective races to play.
Then again, I'm not a terran player so I don't know if someone who has a better understanding of the race disagress :3

TvP late game is really hard to win. You have to make sure that you keep dropping, picking off pylons powering gateways and/or tech structures. Otherwise, you have to catch them when they're switching tech (Colossus to Templar, for example) If you let them get a deathball without trading armies efficiently, you're pretty screwed.

TvZ is has been OK for me since I started going Mech. Tanks, Blue Flame Helloins, Thors and Vikings will clear everything. Add some Ghosts in there for Nuke and EMPs and you're golden.

I got Mech in TvT and, lately, in TvZ. With good positioning and map/minimap awareness, it's awesome. Haven't tried it in TvP because it seems like a stupid idea.

I don't quit out of games. At my level, with proper macro I should be able to win every game I play.

The problem isn't with the matchup, it's with the players. Quitting doesn't make sense.
