Since my "123" post got attention, I figure it's about time for another equally pointless post.

So the title is the deal. Ask me anything and I'll answer honestly. I'd prefer if you keep it SC related (since my general life is the equivalent of a 12 year old), but whatever.

Go.

Self-identity and personal expression take many forms. Tastes in music, food and clothing can make a statement while politics, religion and ethnicity often act as defining attributes. Buttons on your backpack; a tattoo; the blogs you read and the web sites you visit; the minutia on your refrigerator or the doodles on your notebook are clues to your passions and viewpoints. Are you a vegetarian? Do you prefer YouTube or test tubes? Are you the drummer in an all-girl rock band? Do you like to tinker? Are you the umpire or the pitcher? Use the richness of your identity to give us insight: Who are you? (200 word response preferred)

what are you most afraid of in TvZ games ? i.e. Lurker drops, muta harass, any specific Z build, etc.
do you always FE in a TvZ game ? what makes you decide to Fe or not ?

It's going. I just found out my brother is taking a vacation to Seattle since he's off work (he's a systems administrator for Bank Of America, so he gets little time off), but he said he won't go unless I do because it'd be too boring. Well, I'm working on a few projects right now (web development) and I'm enjoying it, so I don't really want to go.

Unfortunately I know he'd feel like I'm fun-blocking his ass by dodging it, so I'm gonna tough it out and go, even though I hate trains (yep, he's taking a fucking train there because he's never been on one... sigh) and Seattle is way too cold for my skinny ass, but I decided that since he lets me stay in his huge house in Phoenix for free, it'd probably be worth it to sacrifice some time and entertain his ass up north.

There... that was like, uhhhh, 7 sentences.

I always FE. There's absolutely no reason to not FE. If you micro and scout correctly, there's nothing a zerg can do to kill you because of it. I always send out an SCV with my CC building SCV to build a bunker, depending on what my scout sees. Usually I don't need it since you can get around 6 marines by the time 9 or so lings hits, and in most cases the zerg won't try to do anything.

As far as fears go...

With foreigners, lurker drops are my biggest fear in the MU. It's extremely hard to tell if a zerg is dropping, but if you sacrifice too much to defend, you won't have enough at your front and hunting expansions. Obviously there are signs if you scout flawlessly, such as no early #3 gas being taken somewhere, or straight lurkers without muta harassment, but it's still really tough to see coming.

With Koreans, the fear turns to mutalisk micro. There's a Korean zerg on CJ (edit: I'm thinking it might not be CJ, can't remember now) -- PRADA[S.G] -- that plays with me from time to time (he knows English perfectly; shhhh)... I'm about 1-30 vs him (never done anything to directly counter it, but I've built fuckloads of turrets/4 rax -- doesn't work), and I've never gotten past 10 minutes. He obliterates everything I have. He takes down up to 9 turrets at ONE expansion and never stops building mutas with +1. The counter is in super-fine marine micro, but I never practiced it enough to get it down correctly.

I was a freshman. Some girl was talking shit to a distant friend, so I figured I'd have a little fun and cuss her out for it. Turns out she was the head cheerleader and her boyfriend was the biggest guy in the highschool (fucking illegally huge for age 18 -- I had never even see him before since it was my first year). Later that day I got bitch slapped in front of my entire grade by him, but most importantly my massive crush saw me take it and do nothing back. That was the worst, lmao.

Protoss is too easy and zerg has a unit that can make lurkers _invincible_, which isn't very challenging.

#1 poster is obviously Rekrul (the biggest attention whore loser of all ^_^)... what the FUCK?

About Yellow, I guess you mean at BlizzCon... well I never really thought about it until the game. In fact I didn't even know I was vs him until the same day (if I can recall). I was making an attempt to get to know Tasteless and Testie better the night before the matches (which went decently well -- awesome guys), so I wasn't thinking about the games at all.

When I was finally in the game, I said "hyung nim ~ gosu!" and he typed lol or something, and I think someone else was laughing trying to see who typed it from my side (I was trying to get comfortable). I made fun of Rekrul since I know they knew eachother, and we talked a little about him... then the game started, everything was going fine, and as soon as I saw his mutalisks I had a total breakdown, confidence went out the window and I just fell apart.

Do you think IdrA will ever achieve the same or higher level of play testie accomplished in his career? Or do you perhaps think he already has?

Is micromedia ever going to be a true competitive team in the leagues or is the inactivity of some of the players and loss of idra affected media too much ?
