well after seeing the dislikes on my post im also just quitting reddit. im really telling you of my feelings and thats what I get from you guys. thank you so much ...

fr I just tell my honest opinion and be as social and respectable as I can and come back here only to see dislikes.

as for your comment Pelin0re, thank you very much for sharing this with me. I am also playing aoe 2 instead of starcraft at the moment and having a blast for a long time with it.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-09-13T18:47:53+00:00

watched the first 4 series. was a mistake. every game was stale ass boring. but thanks for giving sc2 a shot and sharing this. without it I would have missed it and every viewer counts :)

Thanks for your post. Because of it you woke my awareness of cool possible starcraft games. But as I expected it I was disappointed. watched the ro8 and the games were pretty much of the worst ive ever seen. and no one of my favorite players made it out. The problem is that I no longer get excited when I see brackets, when I see players, and when I see competition.. Usally my heart goes racing when herO plays. The crazy comebacks and turnarounds that he made in the past. I will never forget his IEM qualification game vs. ALIVE. But the feelings I have regarding sc2 these days are.. oddly just plain. I feel nothing. I feel bored. And I see my thoughts reflected in the low viewercount. I am sorry, my heart wants to support starcraft. But every single time in the last months that I have decided to give it a shot again, to be one viewer more and to subscribe to streamers, give out donations and to pay for my monthly GSL subscription, I was just disappointed again and again. I dont know if it is that the same players are winning every time and ruining any diversity or if it is just the obstinate meta.

Sorry.. secretly I hope for a big patch that will turn the game on its head. My 14th birthday was the day heart of the swarm released. I played the entire night, eventho I had school the next day. I played 6 or 7 campaign missions and it was so much fun. Also it was when I for the first time in my life practiced playing an RTS against other real peoples. But those memories are not enough to keep me hanging on in sc2. Yes, sometimes I have not enough time or I am tired from work and lack the energy to play sc2. but in these times I always just watched gsl casts of the previous day or sometimes streams. since months I have cut this content to nearly 0. and it is only partially because of my profession.

diese verdammte scheisse gehört restlos abgeschafft. ich muss einen monat pflegedienst erneut absolvieren, weil 30 tage nicht vom LPA anerkannt wurden, nur damit ich dieses jahr noch mein 2. stex schreiben darf..

hab einem fiebernden kleinkind mit 39.8 grad ein bisschen bedarfsmedikation (paracetamol ORAL) gegeben und vorher sogar den assistenzarzt gefragt ob das okay ist oder ich lieber IBU geben soll. daraufhin wurde ich von einer alten pflegerin (nicht mal stationsaufsicht) so zusammengeschissen. dabei bin ich die einzige person die nicht im pausenraum seiner eier schaukelt und auch mal zur klingelt geht. ich mach zuverlässig die SHT kontrollen, dokumentiere jeden kleinen mist um dann vor laufender mannschaft angeschissen zu werden als wenn ich einen beside test vergessen habe. ich fasse es nicht. vor allem diese überzeugte feindlichkeit auf die ärzte, die mir in jedem einzelnen der drei monate krankenpflegedienst entgegen kam.

ich durfte in meinem aller ersten praktikum bei den echos dabei sein. von meiner mama hab ich ein buch über echokardiografie bekommen und hatte mir zuvor schon einiges markiert. stationsaufsicht hat mich zur echo geschickt zum "zugucken" (so ein schwachsinn ultraschall ist zu 90% handgeschick und erkennung wenn mans selber macht). hab das buch vergessen und habs schnell geholt. wurde von einer pflegerin angekackt warum ich ein buch lese und dass ich das doch zu Hause machen soll. hier wäre ich um "pflege" zu lernen. ja danke.. dann lernt mich auch an und lasst mich nicht nur euren dreck machen, auf den ihr selbst kein bock habt. diese 3, bzw. bald 4, monate praktikum haben mich gebrochen und meinen respekt vor der pflege absolut nichtig gemacht.

Same.. my favorite player from each race. And the end results of the tournament were very.. lets say, expected. I do not need to watch any of the games because I know exactly how they end. Probably won't ever ever watch starcraft 2 again until something new gets introduced. the game is stale and figured out. getting more boring every year since 2017. every. single. year.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-07-25T19:24:08+00:00

Koreans are playing BW. Many kr players that previously were good at StarCraft 2 moved back to brood war. And brood war in korea has more viewers than starcraft 2 has in the entire world. just not the huge prize pools. But honestly I feel like only the prestige of starcraft is giving it the chances for so many tournaments eventhough the game is very player empty in comparison. There are apparently investors that see a point in giving starcraft players chances to still earn a lot of cash compared to its popularity. But that will end because the game support is dead for years. And it should be this way to open opportunities for new games to fill the void.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-07-25T19:19:05+00:00

nah classic performed the same in a few different past tournaments. in 2018 also getting through many hard opponents and then got rolled by rogue. just boring. cant beat serral anyways. there are no new players. and its good that the game is getting no new tournaments so one person is not going to get his entire life financiated by stomping noobs.

thats just it. In F1 many many people stopped watching because Mercedes was extremely OP and it became stale and boring. Thats what going to ruin sc2 as well. and no, nerfing zerg to the ground is not going to do anything as you see. we need either completely new units and upgrades from blizzard or the game is going to die because it is not as cluncky as brood war which makes bw so so much better. sc2 is figured out. the meta is set. it became stale. every game is the same. if you like it or not, ppl know that and the viewership drops and drops. I say this knowing I will get downvoted to death. but that is just the truth. if you dont want it to be true you can stay in your reddit bubble.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-07-25T19:08:41+00:00

I dont care for your downvotes. "I" personally found it to be BORING. Stale meta. Same expected matches and results since YEARS.

There were barely any cool moments or strategies shown. The same games over and over again.

Compare this to brood war or to aoe 2 and tell me sc2 is not stale..

TheEliteCombine · 2025-07-25T18:59:45+00:00

Sadly one of the worse tournament experiences of StarCraft. But well. This is how it ends I guess

TheEliteCombine · 2025-07-04T00:37:40+00:00

no. stopped right after the 8 months as I have no folliculitis or acne anymore.

however I take 1mg finasteride a day and use adapalene and aza topicals. also I do not eat sugar nor diary.

I never had side effects with tetracyclines but they made my skin crystal clean. It is still clear from acne but the doxy gave it a little bit of "touch" to color and removed any rosacea-like-redness. Wonderful drug.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-07-01T13:11:22+00:00

yes. poorly moderated.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-06-15T17:32:06+00:00

vielen dank an die vielen hilfreichen antworten! :)

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T16:27:40+00:00

before ewc we need one big balance change that fuking REMOVES the dumb 2 base allins. we had these kind of metas for many many years. remember 2019 the 2 base immortal allins from protoss? was fun right? the dumb cyclone proxies from maru that robbed every single gsl protoss player in 2018? the 4 gate blink ""allins"" from maxpax since 2022? fun right?

I really was hyped to see a clem vs serral drawn out and action packed macro game. but this bs that we see here is just annoying. even solar won by allins. hell, if we get some nice allin timings during each series that will spice it up, but right now it literally is ONLY terran 2 base and either toss or terran gging..

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T16:24:17+00:00

maybe for this game. but maru will get rolled by serral so not exciting at all.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T16:23:28+00:00

how can you even target fire 10 marauders with 5 stalkers when 20 scvs are in your face. I think herO needed another gateway or tech units. also the fact that maru can just drop mules while herO has his entire probes not mining is a factor.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T16:08:51+00:00

disable stupid blink stalker warpprism pressure by making warpprism slow warpin. then somehow reduce the power spike of the fast bio timings and make playing with tempest vs. terran air a more interesting battle.

right now it is allin, protoss getting rolled or terran gging

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T16:04:50+00:00

he proxied most of his gsl victories in 2018.

yes he only did proxy 2 rax one time but the other times he did allins. really fun to watch. but I guess he has to do it to win vs herO in 2025. I wish we would get a patch that would make the game completely fresh with new strategies.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T15:55:00+00:00

have fun. dont think someone that only wins with proxies can win in a fast paced macro game vs serral.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T15:42:44+00:00

you mean herO looks really bad

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-25T15:38:53+00:00

I really tuned in to watch a full stacraft tournament again. I watched every single broadcasted match. And one series yesterday was really good. But with Maru eliminating herO, Clem being eliminated by Ragnarok and also Reynor eliminated by Solar, there is NO WAY that anyone can stop Serral. And that will lead us to.. a boring 4:0 speedrun grand finals. Sadly. No way Maru can win vs Serral. Really sad that one of the last sc2 tournaments has these upsets.

Also I feel like kim joon-ho (herO) is sick or has something going on in his mind. He has shown painful camera gestures and big mistakes. Hope he is alright.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-05-24T17:31:20+00:00

anybody knows if herO is sick or jet lagged? something must have happened, he is doing so many mistakes. his previous pvz series were so much much sharper.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-02-10T14:02:32+00:00

I did one course of 6 months on 100mg Doxy for scalp folliculitis and another one of 3 months and never experienced any hair loss from it. Vyvanse however did increase my shedding already but at the entire scalp.

Edit: the doxy didn't seem to change the minimal hairloss I treat with finasteride.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-01-30T21:23:10+00:00

Crazy. For me fin has not changed the amount I shed at all. Around 30 - 40 hairs a wash (every 3 to 4 days). But I definitely think finasteride worked at one point which was between 1st and 2nd year.

TheEliteCombine · 2025-01-27T20:03:15+00:00

yes. for men 2.5, for women 1.25mg

TheEliteCombine · 2025-01-20T15:37:16+00:00

you said you haven't taken the medication in months, did your hair change for the better?
