Soo I hop on the ladder to warm up for the GSB tourney today, middle of the second game my dad calls, I lose, I call back, Grandma's dead. So I take a mini break, and come back to finish out the 3 games I wanted to. First two games I lose, last 3... wins..?

Here's the replays!

ZvP - L - I got greedy like a good zergie, and paid for it!

http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126290-1v1-protoss-zerg-metalopolis

Zvt - L - Lost my focus. My brain apparently defaults to "make drones" when I'm not focusing.

http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126293-1v1-terran-zerg-metalopolis

ZvT - W - Playing with hatch before pool finally pays off!

http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126294-1v1-terran-zerg-blistering-sands

ZvT - W - Not sure what he was going for here.

http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126297-1v1-terran-zerg-blistering-sands

ZvZ - W - Apparently he was trying for some sort of one base roach play... but by "cutting drones" he ended up not hitting me until about 3 minutes after a "standard" roach rush would have hit :-/. He was actually favored to win as well.

Feedback appreciated! Tourney replays coming once it gets underway!

Wow. Not going to give a little focus on the "Grandma's dead" line? Can't just say it like that without giving it a little attention.
Do an arranged marriage if she's not completely minging, and don't worry about dancing, get a go-kart, cheers.

We all have our ways of dealing with things. Mine is to deal with it at the appropriate time, which will be thursday after I finishing finaling out from post and start PCS leave, then drive the 15 hours home.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandma, but I thought this would be more focussed on that part instead of, Starcraft 2 replays. Maybe you want to.. Give SC2 a break while you focus on family?
I have an announcement to make, "Moo!" That is all.

I don't doubt that man, but as readers it kind of jumps out at us when you don't give it any reverence. Easily could have left it out if you didn't want to talk about it.

I can totally understand to be honest. Everyone's going to die, I felt sad for my Grandma when I saw her mind was totally degraded into nothing. I barely felt any emotion when she actually died. I don't see sense in mourning anyway. I wouldn't want people to mourn over me. I'd want people to make stupid jokes :D. Then again someone on TL.net said I'm one of those guys who rationalizes emotions with logic which most people don't do so maybe I should shut the fuck up.

I probably presented it incorrectly. I was just amazed that I won at all after hearing that.

Stop telling this guy how to deal with the passing of a family member? Who are you guys to chose how he reacts? Let him do what he wants, if he's happy than that's the important thing lol.

Nothing wrong with rationalizing emotions, as long as your timing isn't completely terrible (e.g. telling stupid jokes right after someone's grandmother dies)

Here's the GSB tourney replays from my point of view. I made it into the Ro32, which is better than I've done the past two weeks. They're both ZvP.

ZvP - W - He said he botched his four gate. I'm really starting to like the 14 hatch as long as I can hold off the early pressure.

http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/126343-1v1-protoss-zerg-xelnaga-caverns

ZvP - L - I'm guessing I went too far with economy and not enough into tech/units . I can deal with collossi, when I can tech up a bit, but my scouting sucked, so I wasn't aware he was up to five already. Completely smashed my hydras.

Also, bear in mind that I am a member of the US Army. We're rather known for our "black humor." It comes with the territory, especially during the past decade or so.

I decided to get one more in for the night, luckily a win, so that'll leave me at a 66.66% win rate for the day!

ZvT - W - It's amazing what terrans can do off of one base, I wasn't in any danger of losing at any point I don't think, but those MMM pushes are annoying as hell -_-. 1/1 marines with combat shield in a little ball murder my poor lings , given I could have made better use of the baneling nest I had sitting there, but I was so far ahead econ wise I guess it didn't really matter.
