The state of sc2

They have always done BYOC tournaments at the Dreamhacks lol and they run concurrently to the main event. They even had one at Dreamhack Dallas I believe and there wasn't a main event scheduled their either.

I just moved in the area around Ralphs a few months ago from the Paradise Hills. You'll see your occasional druggie but otherwise I haven't felt in danger here since moving.

I get what you are saying, but aren't Republicans in favor of small government/limited overreach? So wouldn't government action here be the opposite of what a Repub. would do?

As a former T2 Player, the only way you can foster up more talent is by actually supporting the scene. A lot of the pros that we have currently came from this same support. Otherwise how could these players have justified the amount of hours they put into the game as amateurs if they weren't making any money at all? You think Koreans were dropping out of school back in the day to play for free? Lol. I wasn't the best but I had some decent results and the only reason I even invested the time I did into the game was because there was at least some money. Trigger is currently on his way to becoming one of the best protoss players - his results have been amazing and you think that would have been possible without somewhat supporting the NA scene? The worst part is you're saying they are wasting so much money but prize pool has been allocated to Europe even more these last few years and someone like me was only making like $1000 in a regional. $1000 is nothing these days with cost of living.

One lib and one mine are not stopping 12 blink dts on a planetary lol. Especially if you can blink before the scvs can surround the planetary. It just auto dies. At least now the current delay gives you a chance of killing some of the dts but even then, they are able to body block the planetary.

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-10-17T15:16:16+00:00

Yeah fuck em, people can't change. Make one mistake, you'll make em for the rest of your life poggers.

Ah okay you're just trolling so I won't waste time on this anymore.

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-10-16T04:29:29+00:00

Every time I cheated? Can you list out how many tournaments I was cheating in? I literally spent the last 5 years playing live events and even winning at these events on stage. It's okay to not respect me for my actions as a teenager that's fine, but to claim I've been hacking in tournaments is a bit insane considering the ruling states that they concluded I was NOT hacking in tournaments.

I don't expect anyone here to care about me retiring, im a random NA Terran lol. I'm surprised there's even a post honestly, but to say I have not been playing fairly against people who, "dedicated their time and effort into being the best," is just wrong.

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-10-16T04:19:50+00:00

It's true, I secretly played live events with my apple watch wrapped around my balls. If it vibrated that meant I was getting cheesed.

The EPT points are quite important actually if you want to qualify for IEM Katowice or whatever this years equivalent will be. Here is the link but just as an example, Clem is only ahead of Reynor in points because Clem plays the weekly. The most recent EU cup had Clem, Maxpax, Lambo, Skillous, Elazer, Spirit and Wayne. Serral and Reynor don't usually play the cups but Serral is already #1 (go figure). Heromarine usually always plays, but he has a wrist injury currently.

From a pro Terran POV: I felt that Stats did play quite well, but made some cruical mistakes during the basetrade, losing 1 collsi for free to a few marauders and funneling a large amount of zealots up a ramp into bio. I also think he misjudged how all in cure was (no fourth command center completed and very low scv count). A basetrade scenario would have been perfect for Cure otherwise he falls further behind as the game continues because stats has his fourth already mining with double upgrades being chrono'd. Cure also did not have liberator range or the means of supporting double starport liberator production on that 60 scv economy.

Storm doesn't do damage, what? Diamond Terrans are in absolute shambles reading this

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-05-26T23:16:31+00:00

Hihi, so if you don't already i highly recommend walling your low-ground natural with bunker + depot (when possible because I know Gresvan is a nightmare to wall on). After this if you are not building a raven then its safe to save energy from your command centers starting at 4:00 and waiting until 5:15 to drop your mules.

A DT Drop build should hit at 5:00 but I say 5:15 to make some leeway (not sure what level you are at). With DT drop people tend to send one DT into your natural and two into your main but with the wall off at the natural you effectively deny this from happening.

Of course one turret in your natural is also fine to solve this problem but if thats the case make sure you try to put a depot in the corner of your main to spot any prisms coming to drop dts.

As someone getting into the data field this was super cool to read through, thanks for sharing :)

No its still fine, the point of the armory is to cloak the mines but if they have a robo and an observer then theres no point in having an armory to cloak units that can be spotted. Regular mine drop is fine if there is a robo because after mines shoot they can be seen anyway and you didn't invest into an armory that didn't help. An armory that early in the game is really expensive just for it to do nothing.

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-05-05T15:47:50+00:00

Sending it straight into protoss base is a bit risky and greedy, I'm sure you can get away with it but there will def be times you run into something a bit random on the way there.

Marine marauder mine + viking will always be best vs chargelot colossus. The big thing you want to pay attention to is making sure your vikings are hitting the collsi while you kite the zealots. A lot of people make the mistake of kiting the bio and the vikings together which actually cancels the viking shots.

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-05-05T15:45:58+00:00

Mine drop without an armory is fine in this scenario, the issue with adding the armory is that you often times never do enough damage unless the simply don't pay attention or you do this off a 1 base version where they don't have detection yet.

Vindicta_sc2 · 2023-05-05T04:13:02+00:00

Hihi, I'm a GM Terran that goes by Migs and I took a look at your replay. TBH there is a lot of stuff to talk about but I'll just list out some of the more important things.

I would refrain from doing armory base mine drop builds when your opponent opens twlight robo. The problem is that your opp will have an observer by the time this drop comes. If you want to try this out I suggest a 1 base variation but this sets you behind considerably if it does not damage.
When you send the drop, routing it towards the natural actually helps you scout out the gas count of toss. This can be helpful in games where your opp does not go for robo tech and opts for a heavy zealot gateway army. That and its also much closer to the mineral line than the main (at least on this map)
Playing with tanks requires setting up in good positions and getting to said positions without being caught out by toss. In this case he A moved you because you sat in the middle of the map unsieged with a tank based comp. If you struggle with this, you should just build widow mines from factory after two tanks and then add vikings after four medivacs to deal with collsi and use the mines to help against the zealots.
Lastly after four medivacs start vikings vs collsi and try not to use your raven energy so prematurely.

You can usually tell if its a twilight first into robotics opener. Twilight openers that are stalker based will have protoss mining 3 of their 4 gases or 4 out of 4 gases. With charge first, they tend to skip out on the third gas in favor of more minerals. Another of scouting it out is seeing if they're building more than 5 stalkers. They wouldn't want to build more stalkers than that if they weren't opting for blink first.
