My Protoss is weaker than my Zerg but it's still around Plat level. I can help you with it, just not tonight.

You only like him because y'all got something in common.

That's fine. I got demoted to Gold and I'm probably only still that high because my mechanics are better than the silver/gold guys I play. My knowledge isn't up to par yet. PvT is a little puzzling as well. I was advised to go Nexus first but in the lower divisions like this it seems too dangerous since so many people go for early pressures or just straight one base play.

You can open Nexus first and come out ahead as long as the Terran didn't decide to cheese you before scouting it. But I wouldn't suggest Nexus first to someone still trying to learn Protoss, it depends very heavily on being able to read your opponent correctly.

Yeah, after talking with Corran I'm gonna go with 2 Gates and a Robo before I expand. Of course, I did that, and just lost to a 1-base Thor/Ghost rush with all his SCVs pulled. Good times.

2 Gate Robo is a good learning build because a fast obs for scouting can help make up for your lack of reading ability, and is helpful against cloak builds and drops. After you get used to how PvT works and are more confident in your micro though you should start practicing 1 gate expo.

 

[Corran Horn]

Is this a bug for anyone else? My chat channels wont expand(open or whatever you want to call it) after a game unless i open up my friends list first.

Chao Bistro does good barcraft events. The only issue is that the service is really slow when it gets packed.

He raised a good point too, he was just so out of his knowledge base lol.

All he had to say was use our internetz, sc2 only.

Instead he made it seem like Pandora was gonna leak their info for hackers or something lol.

They could just slap some internet viewing password on there and just add half a dozen sites that have been requested (ie neogaf and google) or something like that

but this is just easier

I just had a stupid PvP.

The guy does a 4gate, I do 3gate twilight, infinite FF my ramp, get to DTs, run them to his base, he leaves the game.

ex BW Pro SKT Dove interview about BW and switching to SC2
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=314172

Which new unit do you despise the most?

I hate the colossus and Templar because units clump up so much in SC2-
WAIT I CHANGE MY MIND. I hate the infestor the most. It’s a piece of shit. It needs to be removed from the game.

<3

 

[cdyhybrid]

I'm guessing he plays Terran?

 

[Hazaro]

'Pro'. He looks like a B- teamer to me.
Lost to July and Anytime way way back years ago. No thanks. It's all minor stuff and he got one round into the GOM Season 2 thing.

That comment he said is correct though.

Sorry Mr. 1%

 

[Hazaro]

As a Terran player, which players did you admire the most?

(T)Midas, (T)BoxeR, (T)Fantasy, (T)Canata and (T)Flash.

If you had to pick one or two out of the bunch?

(T)Fantasy and (T)Flash because they both practice really hard and play really well.
(T)Flash is a God and God is imbalanced. I actually practiced with him.

Could you describe (T)Flash? Why do you think he&#8217;s so dominant despite having relatively lower APM than other professional gamers?

(T)Flash just has a way to design the game before the game starts. He will plan all of his moves before and execute it flawlessly. He is a really nice person outside the game.

I support this guy.

How did you get into SC2?

Even when I was studying I felt like I had something missing. I missed that feeling Brood War gave me. I remember seeing SC2 and seeing all these players like (T)MMA who is a close friend of mine I used to play with who wasn&#8217;t even that good. It lit a competitive spark in me again.

OH SHIT. SC II PLAYERS ON BLAST.

There is a bigger emphasis on control and micro management.

Yes.

Favorite new unit?

The marauder.

Scum of earth bionic loving Terran

 

[cdyhybrid]

SotG/Twitch killing eSports.

It is widely accepted that SC2 is an easy game and not as mechanically difficult as Brood War. For that same reason, many Brood War players/fans and even SC2 players believe it is too easy and makes the game less exciting/challenging. Do you share this notion? Do you find as much enjoyment playing SC2 as you did playing Brood War? What about watching?

The interface of SC2 definitely makes it easier for everybody. I don&#8217;t have to baby sit all of my units and buildings, and it&#8217;s a lot more user friendly. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s an easier game though. I was one of those people who thought SC2 would be so easy compared to BW. When I was first playing I was surprised by how fast paced the games were. There is a bigger emphasis on control and micro management.

Snap, son.

 

[Zzoram]

Wait, Flash's APM is low now? Isn't it typically near 400?
