im so fucking sad that i lose to this shit every single tournamment it doesnt matter if i macro inject and overlord perfectly i just get raped by ff's no chance... and if you open anything other than 3 base they can just play something else so gg


We still love you Ret!


i dont care if you love me honestly (I do care, but you get what I mean) I want to win games and in practice i beat everybody the last 4 days then tournament day comes boom the grubby build that im 0-8 vs no matter what i do ROFL


Your frustrations would be better spent on practice instead of QQ on the forums. I'm not saying this to be mean, but there are plenty of ways to deal with that build, and there is no excuse to be losing that much to it. Get someone to help you out, there are plenty of protosses out there that would help you with that, maybe some on your own team.

You are one of the top players in the world and in my opnion, a top 3 zerg with a LOT of succes vs. protoss. It's okay to lose to players who are at the top of their game and their races, just hang in there and work it out.

ya the few minutes its taking him to write out posts venting frustration while still at the tournament are severely damaging his practice regime.
shut the fuck up. you're the reason pros dont post on here anymore.


...yea Ret's post wasn't in the strategy forum, but pros still get shit no matter where they post.


IdrA gets hate all the time...its not just because he's a pro. He's developed this contreversial image for himself that is bound to get some hate.


That wasn't Idra getting hate.. That was Idra flaming some guy who was hating on Ret for venting some of his frustration with a specific all in
there's a bug in the new patch where the other player keeps killing all my dudes.. please nerf this

Oh my bad :/ haha.

Well I honestly think that some people really just want to watch the world burn. It's a shame that pros shun the forums because of the select few who want to upset the apple cart.

Pro's really see no incentive to post unless it helps them in some form. The ironic thing is, most of them could probably improve quite a bit if they posted on these forums.

It's not really a big deal anyways, some pro's aren't very creative and can't really think outside of the box or articulate themselves. It's their speed, memory, and decision making that propel them to the highest of tiers. With that said, there are a lot of creative pro's too.

Most good players spend their time in games, with varying amounts of studying; not vice-versa.

They have a good memory. What is it that they're memorizing? Timings? Build Orders? These are things that 'less gifted' players could do with help with. I don't know what the timing of a 3-Rax Stim Timing is, I don't know if I can hold it with a fast third sort of play.

And for those of us with limited time on our hands, creative builds we see in tournaments I think should be documented. From the top of my head, I can only think of 1 player who published their own build on a thread in the Strategy forums, and that is Spanishiwa with his 'Ice Fisher Build'.

The community does its best to recreate these builds and describe them on their own, but without the reasoning that the pros would have making whatever decision, the build kind of negates itself. Sure we can blindly put down a Robotics Facility at 31 Supply (just made that up, go with it ), but why? What does it gain us? What can we do with it?

These are some of the holes that I think needs to be filled.
