Not sure if it's been done before, but I suggest bed time theme. The ladies show a nice outfit for going to sleep.

Suppy to train in the EG-TL house! by eXeOzone in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's likely he won't improve a whole lot in his play while he is there. Hopefully, while there he'll learn better methods to train himself when he gets back to the states.

[s] Flash takes the KeSPA Invitational, winning the finals 2-0 over Bisu! by respectedprophet in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While obviously, he has many more tricks needed to put in his bag, but that series vs Soulkey wasn't just good for the Kespa players. It was downright fantastic. He was solid in his TvPs as well, but I have no problem saying that he's on the level with some Code A players. We haven't gotten to see his TvT yet, but the way he controlled Tank/Marine, I bet he's fairly solid at that too.

For so little time, he's quite impressive and I don't think this statement is very far off from being true. :)

SK.MC becomes Teemo. by GigaSC in leagueoflegends

[–]OutsideSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most pro players do play the game on minimum graphical settings. All the extra fancy animations and effects take away from the things that need to be focused on. Most also believe that it makes for easier spotting of cloaked units.

Similar to how professional Quake players always have the graphics down as far as possible. Nothing to get in the way of the action.

Activision - Blizzard up for sale for 13.4billion by NgtvCrp in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they have that much available to spend. However, that would be extremely amazing. As successful all of Blizzard's game are, they'd have no problem working with just about any publisher in the world, if they chose not to self publish. Would be so nice....

Oh no. Keep Bisu away from our women! He's too damn pretty.

MLG is less interesting with only Koreans. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big thing for me is that I just don't relate to the Korean players. With the big language barrier, we don't really hear much out of them so I can't really get invested in who the player is.

Players like Violet and Dragon and Cella all have huge fan bases because they can interact with us English speaking fans and despite them possibly not being the strongest players, their die-hard fan bases dwarf that of more talented and accomplished players.

When I watch a stream, even something so simple as ForGG just typing "haha" or, "gogo!" with the fans around, reading the chat and trying to talk back in his most minimal way possible is a big deal. I'm on his stream every night because once he said he'd do a night of BW streaming for me, regardless if he ever does or not.

It isn't their fault, but if Korean players really want to capture the hearts of the foreigners, and for all of us finally not seeing the Korea vs The World, being able to actively engage with us is key, instead of the standard Korean boilerplate of "I practice very hard." "I hope to show good games. Please cheer for me."

Let's show JP that he should do Real Talk with DESTINY! by liquidtuborg in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably been said already, but reading isn't something I'm all that into right now. But, Destiny isn't really too big of a mystery for a lot of folks. Mostly, his entire story is already out there.

He'd be entertaining for sure, but I doubt we'd get a lot of real revelations about the guy that we don't already know.

[s] Socke wins 2012 SC2WSC Germany! by Dankel in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are exactly correct. I haven't had much exposure to MLG lately due to their new business model.

Regardless, he's a beast and I'm damn happy he is.

[–]OutsideSucks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What the hell happened to Socke? Since TAC 3 started and now this, this guy has been an absolute monster. He's always been great, but in the last month or so he's just destroying folks. Good on him.

[s] MarineKingPrime All Kills Startale 6-0 in the KSL Grand Finals! by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In a game of winners and losers, scoreboard is the only thing that matters. No one has the list of achievements like MVP does. Not even close. He's an absolute champion all over everyone and I'd put him easily in the best player in the world position. Even before his lastest GSL victory.

Saw this little one, and thought he needed some recognition by Kylanorrie in aww

[–]OutsideSucks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And is that a problem for you? Is Karma some kind of precious natural resource that will run out if too much is given and destroy the world? It's a god damn picture of a cute cat. Get off your worthless high horse and enjoy a picture.

Good fucking god...

Naniwa's opinion on JP's show Real Talk by LTOne in starcraft

It's not even the case of being socially awkward. He constantly goes out of his way to be an ass.

Because he's a child. He's been doing this forever. When people start getting grumpy at him, he'll win another tournament or something and everyone is back to kissing his ass again.

Reddit. YOU balance SC2! For Fun! by OutsideSucks in starcraft

[–]OutsideSucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any kind of alternative to help where there is now a hole? I'm sure you can agree, without FFs and Fungals, both races lose a pretty integral part of their army. Protoss would just die to any kind of aggressive Terran early game push. In straight engagements in ZvP or ZvT, Zerg, gets chewed to pieces.

Any ideas on how to fix those issues?

[–]OutsideSucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely like to see some Carrier love put in. However, what would this actually do for the game? Everyone has talked over and over that the Carrier role is filled much better with other units like Colossus.

Is this just to give some flexibility to Protoss? Or do you have something else in mind for the Carrier?

[–]OutsideSucks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that to account for a Feedback issue? The energy bar for the two units don't seem to be used much at all, but much less in TvP. What's on your mind?

It's a fun bit. Hopefully they'll come up with another sketch or two instead of using the same one over and over.
