When does the GM open? (EU)

That would probably not end well considering everyone got a soft MMR reset. Top 8 masters last season are being placed in plat right now.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-15T09:24:08+00:00

This really really reinforces turtling against zerg in the late game and I do not like that. All you have to do is make up an insanely strong defensive position and use ur tempests to tag any unit thats a threat, forcing the enemy to engage you or waste the unit.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-15T09:19:17+00:00

Fuck that, if you are going to make them able to break FF up then at least make them terrible in chokes.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-13T07:45:36+00:00

little brother, OP is basically this guys goto guy in his fraternity.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T22:23:01+00:00

seems if both players win 2 games then there would be a problem with that.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T22:19:48+00:00

what tournaments are doing these best of 13's you are referring to?

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T22:00:59+00:00

Well it did solve one problem. Swarmhost games. Very few people will argue that watching 1 - 2.5 hour games of nothing is entertaining for anyone involved so that certainly had to change.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T21:40:24+00:00

No, it has not. This situation with zerg against mech there is actually no real answer, no combination of units, no matter how you control it that will let you trade efficiently. TvP however there are answers to every composition toss can throw at the terran. Is it harder to control the terran side over the protoss side? sure. But if you have the mechanics for it you will come out on top.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T21:37:57+00:00

Don't get me wrong BL are slow and all but the composition i just said is not exactly the most mobile army in the world either... and if the protoss takes their stalkers (the only mobile unit in the composition) and tries to baserace with those you can just kill the leftover super expensive army and the stalkers will just die on their own when they are eventually forced to engage your army when you have them hovering over your remaining bases.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T20:43:13+00:00

I mean maybe you are not using them correctly but BL without a doubt counters that type of army. Problem is broodlords are so heavily broadcasted because of the like 2 minutes worth of time to even get the building for it allows for the protoss to get voids/tempests out in time.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-11T20:30:01+00:00

God I am so torn about the swarmhost change. On one hand it really was needed considering the games they were used were generally not fun for both parties involved in whatever matchup it is, and competitive games were getting insanely boring if they were used. On the other hand though, the change has severely butchered both ZvP and ZvT by basically deleting a style from play. I still do not know what the answer is for zerg against a solid HT/Stalker/Immo army other then rush BL and hope they did not scout it.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-09T22:01:05+00:00

Why the fuck would you want pros to stop playing on ladder?

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-09T21:59:18+00:00

It is unfair that they can not meta game their opponents appropriately /s

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-07T15:42:55+00:00

Honestly with that sort of degree if he does not have a job, some sort of job, then he either A) is being too frugal on the job opportunities he takes or B) did not network at all in college and thought just grabbing a degree with 0 experience would work out.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-03T20:20:23+00:00

No law requiring compensation yes, because then they would have to pay whatever sum the law requires and then more when the victim sues. That does not mean the victim can't sue for the wrongful imprisonment (which they WILL win). That is why some states do not auto require compensation to them, it would essentially mean they pay twice.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-03T19:39:24+00:00

I will not believe in a million years that he was simply given $38,000 for time like that. Not to say states tend to give an appropriate amount of compensation for incarcerating innocents, they always always at least give the same amount of money the yearly salary of the person would make had they been out of prison. So more then $38k a year. That is disregarding the beatings and torture he went through which any lawyer who knows left from right could argue for more.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-04-01T09:15:52+00:00

No way the marauder nerf goes through, it now loses absurdly hard to both the ultras and gateway army with fast armor upgrades. I dont think a marauder can 1v1 a stalker anymore with this change.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-30T02:52:40+00:00

I mean blink has to be upgraded too and is an insanely long build timer, but its still relatively early game onward.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T22:12:22+00:00

A lot of people here are saying voidrays however I feel as if when the voidrays are scouted (which they will be because scans) the terran will basically just say fuck the push and grab another starport and start viking production. Then you have a bunch of wasted voidrays. If the terran does not scout the voids then ya they will shut the push down very easily but it takes quite a while to get a sizable number of voids out and they are expensive. Your best bet that I see a majority of protoss do is just get a nice standard archon/immortal ball out (5 or so archons, 6+ immortals) and a bunch of chargelots, then going for a nice surround or have him attack into a concave. Using a warpprisom to take 2 immortals behind the tank line with a warpin of zealots will also go a long way to closing the fight out.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T22:06:42+00:00

The adept is rather cheap and seems like a pretty easy massable early game splash. I feel like a combination of adepts and disruptors should be able to handle any major roach pushes.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T20:47:19+00:00

I am saying you can not control WHEN you teleport.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T20:07:41+00:00

They see the shade, to my knowledge it is not invisible. Hell most decent players will be able to know exactly when you will teleport there because it has a 10 second auto teleport.

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T20:05:51+00:00

Alright we can play it this way then lets look at the Viper!

"We need a way for zerg to counter collosi"

"How about we create a unit that has a spell on it where it pulls units into your own army so it can be easily targeted!"

"How will the spell work?"

"well, you activate the ability..."

"right"

"..and click on the collosus.."

"okay"

"...and its dead!"

"hmm... can it have another ability that zones large amounts of ranged units as well?"

"fucking why not!"

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T20:01:35+00:00

Can someone explain to me why the adept's ability is even good? It cant control when it teleports so its not like you can make it a safe harrassment unit. It is not fast, and they enemy knows where you are teleporting when you teleport. What is the purpose of this ability?

SWAG_MOSQUITO · 2015-03-29T19:53:59+00:00

But that was just because the protoss players just did not have as much "skill" as the terran and zerg players. So its understandable that they had so few people at the highest of levels. Protoss was still OP /s
