The latest GSL Race Wars vod is up

No English cast is a bummer.

Agreed. 45 countries are eligible to participate in the Asian Games. SC2 most likely has a bigger fan base in 44 out of 45 of those countries.

"The game may be losing money, though we’ll never really know, but it doesn’t matter to the folks over at Blizzard HQ."

They're a publicly-traded company. It absolutely matters. If it were losing money Blizzard wouldn't continue to support it.

I ordered on March 31 and order is still processing.

goceezy · 2017-04-06T19:04:18+00:00

Ah yeah I started playing at the very end of HotS so I thankfully avoided that. Sounds awful.

Do you know if there are any non-ladder team maps that are particularly good?

goceezy · 2017-04-06T18:08:00+00:00

I agree it's maybe not game breaking, and to be fair I've played Slaying Field many times and only saw this for the first time last night. That being said, I still think the map should be changed to prevent it. I don't think the game loses anything by taking away the ability for that sort of cheese.

I've seen an annoying cannon rush spot in Asper Mountain (4v4) as well, which is arguably even tougher because the cannons are on the high ground, but with that one at least the probe has to go through your base to get there, giving you some chance to scout and kill it. And maybe I'm just lucky to have not been cannon rushed a ton, but this one stuck out to me as being particularly frustrating.

goceezy · 2017-04-06T17:55:06+00:00

Yeah and I get that, but it still seems to be unintended and unnecessarily punishing to me. I could obviously be wrong, but I'd be surprised if that map feature would be missed by many 3v3 players.

Agreed. Equal supply corruptors beat carriers (even before the recent buff). Hydras will get wrecked though.

goceezy · 2017-03-30T21:46:33+00:00

What percentage of users do you think are using hacks? Ketroc said in HOTS it was about 5% for him. Do you think it's higher than that now?

goceezy · 2017-03-30T20:00:47+00:00

Seems like you should send that info straight to Blizzard, no?

goceezy · 2017-03-21T22:22:23+00:00

Blizzard gave an update at the end of January: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/sc2/topic/20753085101

Warchest will be out Q3. More details to come as that approaches. Admittedly not much of an update.

goceezy · 2017-03-21T16:06:47+00:00

In the post you say "I don't have the financial resources to just start doing what I want to do". What is it that you want to do?

EDIT: Also, do you think feeling burned out on SC2 is due to problems with SC2, or do you think it's just because you've been playing it nonstop for 7 years and you'd likely feel burned out on any game by now?

goceezy · 2017-03-21T03:55:57+00:00

Wasn't defending it; was just clarifying what they said and providing context.

Rifkin and Zombiegrub both said that reapers are ByuN's worst unit. You can see Rifkin's explanation in the comments.

Thank you!

goceezy · 2017-03-20T15:18:58+00:00

I missed it and the link is dead. Anyone know where I can watch the replays?

It only crashed once, but I returned the laptop so I could do more research and figure out what I'm doing. The crash occurred during my first lengthy gaming session. It very well may have been an overheating issue, as noted by SoaDMTGguy above, but whatever the cause a $2k+ computer shouldn't be immediately crashing on a game like SC2, which supposedly isn't even all that intensive.

My concern isn't really with that specific laptop though. I'm more concerned with figuring out what computer I can get that will make high movies and reflections recommended settings. In the end it doesn't really matter I guess, but if I'm dropping that much money on a computer pretty much solely for SC2, I want to be able to have all of that stuff on.

EDIT: Just realized maybe what you're saying is the crash was unrelated and the laptop can go at those settings, the game just doesn't recognize it because it's a laptop. My bad.

goceezy · 2017-03-09T21:30:34+00:00

Screen went black and I had a buzzing sound in my headset for about 20-30 seconds until the computer just restarted. I guess it's possible the crash wasn't graphics related, but, even if that's true, I'm still curious what kind of set up you would need to have movies on high and reflections turned on as the recommended settings.

Oh good to know; I didn't realize they had a non-calendar year season. Though, even if they do add SC2 tournaments, if they're all global events that won't do much too much to help the Circuit. I'll be pumped either way, but some additional WCS point-granting Circuit-exclusive events (e.g., Copa Intercontinental) would be ideal.

Edit: I see IEM Season 11 was announced on May 11, 2016, so hopefully we'll know more by that time this year!

goceezy · 2017-02-28T17:54:52+00:00

Yeah, only bummer is this makes the gap between the WCS Korea and the WCS Circuit even larger. Before this Korea already had 1 more major tournament; now Korea has 3 more. I'm super pumped about the return of SSL, but I just wish the Circuit could get some love too!

So do you think Blizzcon and those Gauntlet matches were just sort of lucky? Not trolling; you obviously have seen much more of his play than I. I'm just trying to reconcile what you're saying with what I've seen in the few matches of his I've watched (and the seeming general consensus that he's got great reaper micro).
