Who's been watching the GSL?? Some pretty entertaining games going on there.

North American Access Coming in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Patch 1.1

Quote

We’re excited to announce that access to the North American Battle.net servers will be available following the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Patch 1.1.0. With this patch, the in-game region selector will be made available so a separate download will not be necessary to access the NA region.

Activation Procedures

Once the new patch is available, you can log into the Battle.net Account Management at www.battle.net with your username and password.

After you have logged in, click “Account” in the upper left-hand corner of the site. Under “Your Game Accounts”, there will be an option to “Add Game” for the NA version of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

To activate, just click “Add Game” and you will immediately have the NA license on your Battle.net Account.

The in-game region selector will be integrated into the StarCraft II client. You can choose which region to play in before logging into your Battle.net account.

IMPORTANT: Be advised that patching and maintenance takes place at different times in each region. As a result you might be temporarily unable to access SEA games if you download the latest patch by connecting to NA.

If you connect to the NA region with a new patch, you will be unable to play in SEA/ANZ until this region is updated to the new patch as well, typically a day later. Once all regions have been updated to the same patch this will no longer be an issue.

Please take this into account when deciding when and where you'll play during patch days.

Used the same name for my NA account

Haven't played any league games yet though. I want my zealot portrait back.

Just played a guy named "Acchan" who did, in fact, name himself after Maeda Atsuko

I thought it was kinda funny. And then I was soundly defeated by a bunch of Colossi.

Anyway did anyone follow the GSL? the final was awesome. FruitDealer/Cool was so... cool. I'm gonna start playing more Zerg in non 1v1 matchups, lol.

Patch 1.1.2 is out!

http://us.starcraft2.com/launcher/patch-notes.htm

I haven't even played my placement matches for NA server and VR's get nerf/buff

GSL S2's looking pretty wicked. A couple of former BW pros made it in Ro64, with NaDa and Boxer(Manofoneway) in the same bracket.

Ayabie · « **Reply #106 on:** October 15, 2010, 08:42:18 PM »

1.1.2 is shit going by the patch notes. I had yet to get reaper rushed since 1.1.1 came out, and with early Nitro Pack nullified I can't even see myself go reapers anymore. Moreover, the barracks now has a requirement? Ridiculous.

I guess it's time to start practicing Zerg builds.

MLG all this weekend. You can read up on the brackets/schedule/stream/event info here: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1974454

A lot of the same big names who were at he last MLG, except that now Idra and White-Ra are there

boykun · « **Reply #108 on:** October 16, 2010, 07:18:49 AM »

Patch 1.1.2 sucks! lol. As a Terran player, I feel all the changes are way too much. I really disagree with the supply depot requirement for the barracks. That just takes away what a Terran should be. Supply depot requirement makes them like Protoss. This really changes early game Terran strategies.. not that I cheese or anything, but yeah, lol. Factory requirement for nitro packs is dumb. I'd rather see them increase reaper and/or nitro packs cost if they want to nerf reapers. Now by the time I can get reapers with nitro packs, my opponent would have teched to units that are more than enough to handle reapers.

Had no idea MLG was going on this weekend. Cool to see most of the names from the last MLG there. Surprised IdrA is playing in the MLG, considering he qualified for the GSL which starts in a few days. Speaking of GSL though, its been quite surprising for me. Many big names that qualified from the first season didn't even make it past the preliminaries. I was certain sSKS was gonna make it far again, but he was eliminated in probably the biggest upset in the prelims. Good to see most BW veterans making it through, tough surprising July didn't go through.
Once again I'll be rooting for everyone's favorite German, TLO

I'm predicting FruitDealer will take the whole thing again.

We're 2-2 at the moment so we're most likely hitting either silver or gold league if we win the last one.

I blame the maps for our two losses.

Aioros · « **Reply #112 on:** November 21, 2010, 08:15:30 AM »

Played SC2 until 4am with Ayabie and Zig. Last time I played until that time was 5 years ago

We ended up in 3v3 Bronze league, had some alternating win/lose streaks. We got cannon rushed twice but we split it. But overall we had a winning record last night fufufu.

If you guys have time on Saturdays, we can play together. Usually we start around 11-11:30PM GMT+8. It's late night here in SEA and probably daytime for you guys in US and EU.

I was rewatching some of the replays yesterday and we seemed to be communicating pretty alright despite the lack of mics.

But yeah, where are all the other hipsters?

Played through the single player, and I love following SC2 as an eSport, but I'd be horrible if I ever played in multiplayer.

Giant Bomb sent out Brad to watch the GSL Finals where he shot some footage to bring back.

And he spent some time at an apartment for pro SCII players to get an insight into the lifestyle of a pro SC player in Korea.

Very cool videos.

GSL 3 is starting very soon. I'm glad to see more foreigners making it into the round of 64.

We played a couple games again yesterday. This one particular game is really funny. Check out the caps

Our base are at 6 while the opponents at 12. Basically our opponents went mass mutas+corruptors+thors while the protoss have a mix of collossus and gateway units. ayabie is the cyan terran, words is blue protoss and I'm red zerg. We don't expect to win when the thors and protoss ball roflstomp our bases.

ayabie's marines wiped by thors wall.

words' hero carrier and dts. That protoss ball can't survive without a detection

The carrier died though.

words' hero dts cleaning our opponent base. You can see it a bit hiding behind the cc.

Another thors wall wiped by our hydras+marines ball. words voids rays are having fun charging the zerg's base.

ayabie gives a few tips to our opponents

Been away from playing StarCraft II.. because of Black Ops >_> but started playing a lot again recently. Did some laddering 1v1 and got pretty good results. Played a ton of 4v4. Feels good to be on SC2 land again.

Has anyone tried the Public Test Realm? There are some insane changes in the game.
