hello fellow starcraft brethren, i'm new here and i hope i'll get to play with some of you guys :D
if anyone wants to play hit me up with your id.#, i'm an 1800 diamond toss if that means anything
albeit my absence from ladder and actual starcraft in general due to finals, i will be playing after saturday since that's my last one...

anyone watching the gsl finals tomorrow night? predicting mc will destroy rain just like how he manhandled jinro (maybe even moreso), although i would be pretty upset if he didn't. toss needs a hero to take the gsl!

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

although i have not played it myself, i read about it. some of the initial changes were pretty insane, ie. fungal growth not affecting air units. seems as though they regretted that and the phoenix build time reduced by 10 seconds + listening to the whining of the zergs all throughout the world reverted that change. however, one of the best changes is scv target priority being ramped up to the same priority as the structure/unit it's repairing. pfs will be easier to penetrate, bc/thor rushes also easier to nullify, woohoo!

anyway, the starcraft thread is not as big as it should be :( let's get more people playing!

Hell yeah, we definitely need to get some more games going. Welcome to the forums by the way, nodisplay!
MC has my votes for the finals, as well. If there's anything that should be nerfed right now it's his PvT, I fucking love how he's utilizing the sentries.

Here's list of current members with accounts on NA:

toranosuke / 815
wormmox / ???
boykun / 113
Slackius / 811
LaJon / 743
xKamei / 520
Zyanose / 321

MC is taking it for sure. 4-1 or maybe even 4-0.

I'll be on most of the afternoon today. Let's get some games going!

Ayabie · « **Reply #123 on:** December 16, 2010, 09:42:28 PM »

Fuck, I just missed you.

I think most of us are available on the weekends?

Ayabie · « **Reply #127 on:** December 18, 2010, 10:21:08 AM »

Here! In awe after the second game, MC makes everything look so easy...

nodisplay · « **Reply #128 on:** December 18, 2010, 12:25:43 PM »

toss hero!! funny how terran hasn't won 1 gsl yet, jmc is too good.

LaJon · « **Reply #129 on:** December 18, 2010, 01:53:41 PM »

Yeah I was watching from game 4 on since that's when I got home from work. 4-1 is about what I expected, if it wasn't going to be 4-0. MC just seemed to go through the tournament without a care in the world. Glad to see a protoss win though.

Also, today and tomorrow is the EG Masters Cup FInals. It's gonna be casted by Day9 and DJWheat on G4TV.com, and it's gonna be epic.

There was also something like that during Dreamhack, minus the cookies and pizza talk

anyone wanna get some games going on today?

boykun · « **Reply #134 on:** December 20, 2010, 12:43:57 AM »

Yeah let's get some games going.

Just watching the EG Master's Cup right now, but I'll be online. Just give me a shout.

Ayabie · « **Reply #135 on:** February 01, 2011, 12:09:26 AM »

Bump. Finally a Terran champion, MC showed his PvT has actual flaws, Boxer loves dem orbitals and idrA hates bunkers. I can't wait until the next GSL season.

Thanks for some great games today by the way, boy! It was ages ago since I last spotted a member online.

Aioros · « **Reply #136 on:** February 01, 2011, 04:09:47 AM »

^ the last time I logged on to BNet after our last team games was when the new patch was released.

Played 2 custom games then went back to play BroodWar vs. some AI.

Hopefully I can get an speed upgrade for our connection within the month so we can get back laddering.

MVP is a beast, MarineKing didn't have a chance. I wonder how the new maps for the next GSL affects the metagame.

ziggurat · « **Reply #137 on:** February 01, 2011, 06:46:47 PM »

^^ haha, i'm caught up with Dragon Age. Let's see if I can spare time this weekend.

Haha yeah we finally got some games in. Good stuff.

I finally reached diamond 4v4

Anyone been playing lately? I've recently started playing 1v1 again after quite a long absence and, well.. got stomped pretty hard

. I must have lost maybe 5 or 6 games in a row.

Pretty crazy how strategy trends change from week to week. There were some pretty strong ones, particularly this Protoss I played twice in a row on the ladder. Must not have been many people playing at the time, but he did this crazy strong timing attack with immortals and steamrolled me even though I did a super early marauder push.
There were also some weird ones. I got speedling/baneling dropped

. Probably like 10 overlords full

.

Anyway it's just been announced that IdrA is withdrawing from GSL March to concentrate on North American tournaments. This is pretty surprising since he's been in Korea forever. Pretty weird decision in my opinion, there's probably something else behind it. Though he will most likely demolish every tournament he enters and get lots of money lol.
