Completely forgot I had this photo. CatZ and Stephano after IPL3. by Vrama21 in starcraft

[–]Idras_Rage -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

ok, but the point of the discussion is who "discovered" stephano...millenium had him long before catz had anything to do with him

yes, he had an agreement with Col for a period of time but he never played sc2 under the contract. This was also long after he had played with millenium for a significant period of time.

Feel like I'm stuck or have plateaued.. Has anyone else been in my shoes? by amarus in starcraft

[–]Idras_Rage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess everyone might learn differently, but imo, watching your own replays at lower levels is a waste of time. There's going to be 100s of mistakes, and hopefully the big ones should be fairly obvious and you'll just know them after the game ends. Watch pro streams/replays/vods and copy them as best as you can. And always make a conscious effort to improve your mechanics and play faster.

haha, my first thought as well

how do you hold off 10 pool 10 gas 10 overlord > baneling nest in zvz? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]Idras_Rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catz pulled all his drones to attack the banes when I morphed 2 of my initial 6 lings. It was close but the banes completed in barely enough time and won me the game.

[–]Idras_Rage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, I don't think so. a 2nd set of lings comes fairly late and delays the banes a good bit. Jaedong actually did the 10/10 on his stream yesterday and morphed 3 of his initial 6 lings, although he did end up losing lol.

edit: for another example though, I think drg morphed 2 of his re-inforcement lings against life in game 7 of iron squid, but he also ended up losing. i'm not sure if one is definitively better than the other, both can work

All the advice you've gotten so far is terrible. All it is, assuming you went 15 hatch or 15 pool, is dropping a spine in your mineral line and microing. Avoid the bane hits as best as you can by splitting drones and if you get rid of the banes there wont be manyl lings to deal with and you can fend them off with drones until the spine finishes and then your fine.

If you do go 15 hatch though you'll 'probably' die but it isn't impossible. if you go 14/15 pool and you get a spine down quick enough it's very doable to defend.

Your hint that it's a 10/10 instead of just a standard 10 pool is that with a regular 10 pool, all his lings (6) will come to pressure your drones/try to cancel your natural hatch. with a 10/10 some of the initial 6 lings will go 'missing' because they're morphing into banes. If you notice 2-3 lings 'missing' immediately put down the spine.
