As an extra, does anyone have a widescreen monitor they don't need much anymore? Or know of a good method to get a cheap one quick? My brother took his one back and the only monitor I have now is 1280x1024. A PEASANT'S RESOLUTION... [Read More]
Right apparently there's a bit of shit going round about this so let's go.
I was 2-2 in groups at ACL before I had to play my team mate Pokerface. If was lucky, a 3-2 finish might be enough to put me through to top 8, assuming everyone else except ninja was 3-2 or worse. Benji did not know my results properly though and thought I had no chance at all of making top 8 so he asked that I throw my games to pokerface purposefully to smooth his way through.
This will probably mostly apply for TGM members but I'm going to start coaching again.
* This only applies to Terran players. Don't ask for coaching as a Zerg or Protoss I'll give you bad advice.
* All lessons will be streamed for the benefit of the common man and so you can go back and watch it again if you missed anything.
* Fee is $20/hr through paypal, which is standard fare for this sort of think as far as I know.
* I can teach anything Terran and go through replays etc the whole... [Read More]
This one's a bit short. It's silly and not very funny, but I think I found Tgun's KR doppelganger.
Playing against this style is a bit terrifying for a few reasons. The first is that you look really dumb for not making blue flame hellions (which I stubbornly refuse do to). The second is that because lings do not cost money, you're in constant fear for when he switches gear and dumps all that gas he's surely mining into something that does cost money. Like ultras. Or infestors. Or, you... [Read More]
I hate it when I start doing really well on KR one day and the game decides I must be of a GSL worthy skill level so it matches me up against ******* 7th GM's.
Note: this is a reference to something Rossi asked Fin on twitter. Basically we weren't sure if what he was doing was his legit proper strategies. Fin's response was "No I only funny games for fans". We now use it as a saying for not taking things seriously, ie "I was gonna study hard for the test tomorrow but instead decided to... [Read More]
SEA blizzcon was ******* amazing, and this is coming from someone who spent the whole weekend somewhat bitter/depressed about not playing (grumble). I think there's probably enough coverage (or there's going to be) about the event and I'm not going to talk about it too much so I'll condense to highlights and shoutouts.
An arseload of media folk showed up throughout, taking interviews, photos, doing segments, including some folk from something called Save Point, quite a few Blizzard folk (lan... [Read More]
So I've played another ~70 games on the KR server. This is in masters league playing against Masters level opponents, so no shitty "I do timing attack and transition into fail" players. So far...
Korean Zergs still seem to be bad. They're really aggressive, but in dumb ways. Recently I've been tuning a TvZ reaper opening and it's hard to measure it's effectiveness when about half the Zergs on KR throw... [Read More]
Seeing as this is what all the cool kids are doing nowadays, I talked to a guy about a guy and got me a Korean account. Add me on if0r6@hanmail.net if you have one yourself.
I'll talk more about it later, but I will say that Korean bronzies are pretty good.
EDIT- OK, hows about some first impressions?
1) Koreans are unrefined. At least the 'low' level ones are. All they know is how to execute a simple one, or two base, timing and that's it. They execute it ok enough, some decent micro but... [Read More]
