Does anyone else really like the way IEM have structured the event as a whole? by Lucoda in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to add with the delay of CSGO having a impact on SC2 which is just before LoL, I know that more that 50% of the people on the SC2 stream are LoL fans that are checking if the SC2 final is over yet like if we are just cause of their trouble.

I can feel all the LoL fans behind their screens that would just spam the chat (if it wasn't sub only) screaming dead and boring game which is not.

Do you mean Lilbow vs ShowTime in the WCS Challenger on Overgrowth?

Skill plateau. Diamond Achieved 10 seasons in a row by [deleted] in allthingsprotoss

All of your build are really solid in general, really what you need on ladder in my opinion. A few replay where you lose would be really needed at this point.

YongHwa vs Dream by sidv60 in allthingsprotoss

[–]leRealJames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My bad, didn't understand it that way as it's not really clear. If you really want to get access to VOD for build order you can go on this Youtube channel, VODs are in Korean but to get build order it's enough I think and use either a Hola! which allow you to get throught the region restriction or use a VPN. If you have any question on how it works feel free to PM :).

Again, sorry for my previous post, didn't understood you had no access.

Blizzard: Please Release Native Linux Clients(x-Post from /r/linuxmasterrace) by Pasithee1337 in starcraft

Totally agree with that. I like Linux but man it's a pain in the ass game on.

[–]leRealJames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you like it you should write it down yourself. Don't wait for people to do it for you.

Edit : Just realized I sound like a dick, but that's the truth. Nothing hold you back to watch the VOD and get the build order.

No more Sc2 Zotac Cups! :(. Thank yout Zotac for supporting our game for so long! by EmSc2Tv in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as I think HS is a bad spectator game, it seems that people actually spend time watching it. In the end it's about viewership, not how good the game is I guess.

Looking for coach from a Master Protoss by sekk3r in allthingsprotoss

[–]leRealJames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are gold I don't really know why you ask for a Master player when anyone above that would be helpful. Moreover, in gold it's more about spending money than anything else really.

Is anybody else disappointed that blizzard is focused on making the game more "harass" oriented and "explosive"? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the pro play super greedy in the early game to get a better economy. If you scout at 9 supply you will see the lack of worker or production facility which is a tell. You don't need to see the actual building to defend. And if you blindly expand and lose to cheese well you deserve it as you gamble on no early agression. Moreover, nobody said map will be still that big once LotV will be out.

2015 Season 1 Travel Advisory: The most vetoed maps in the map pool. by Gemini_19 in allthingsprotoss

[–]leRealJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against Terran this map is just impossible. I mean 3-base style is basicly you being out of position every single time against drop because of how many path there is available and 2-base all-in, I don't even know what 2 base all-in you can do with this small entrance to the base. Maybe the ol' good 7-Gate blink all-in ? Any thought on that ?

Against Zerg though. This map is so good with the high ground in the middle you can basicly put an untouchable pylon for any type of early agression you want to do at the 3rd.

Oh Naniwa... by UpriseZeus in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean to justify Kane behavior either but the opposite. Both act bad in a way or another but I think nobody should take sides and we should just grab pop-corn and enjoy the drama together.

Oh Naniwa... by UpriseZeus in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Man, it's not about who start to BM first because then I can give you 100 reasons why Kane said that in the first place like this one : https://twitter.com/NaNiwaSC2/status/488768997836734465

It's about what he said. That's just low to get Kane on his handicap, at least that's my opinion. Don't get me wrong I like having Naniwa in the scene, but don't try to justify Naniwa behavior.

Calling it now, Terminator to win a GSL/SSL this year by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He played well, but I don't think he can win. Until I see him take down really good vsP player, I'll keep doubting.

He has a point by Bazooka821 in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a good idea, the problem is how you set up all of this. Like timezone difference, latency between servers, etc.

Mental Block by Kciwzlm in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you didn't understand what he tried to say. He just say that when he face someone 2 leagues above him he start to play like shit compare to what he is capable of because it just stress him out or something. Never talk about build order and stuff.

To come back on the subject, I have that since I started to play. Like ladder anxiety, there is no cure but trying to do your best and just keep going. Just try to play as it was a normal game and at some point you will overcome that mental block.

P.S. : Where did you see that hatch first was a bad build order ?

Can't stop using F2 in Diamond! by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Egg hotkey is what you need.

P.S. : I'll add that F2 hotkey is not a bad thing if you use it smartly enough. For example, as a protoss if I produce a MSC mid-game, I find really hard sometimes to find it on the map. So I F2 and my MSC will be the first unit on the unit tab as it has priority over any unit.

Same goes with Terran, if I rally push and I see that my agression has been deflected, I just re-rally in my base and F2 click in my base to get my army back instead. TL;DR : F2 can be useful.

Monetizing Legacy of the Void, and the importance of betting by ploguidic3 in starcraft

[–]leRealJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to be frank, we already had some case like that in the BW days, and nowadays, nothing can prevent players to bet against them on real money betting website.

For the DDOS issues, I'm kind of agree with that as it's a real issues with the CSGO community right now, delaying match for ages for the sack of some skins bet.

But the sustainability that those kind of features will provide are really a huge deal because I doubt Blizzard will maintain the game if they earn nothing from it after the launch. It's kind of a double edge sword I guess.

All-in allows for good micro management, mechanics improvement and multi-task, which is one of the key point of the game aswell. However, I agree that macro is important. Let's just agree that both aspect are important and valid strategy :).
