I saw on FlaSh's channel him playing protoss and winning epic long game guess who... best modern zerg Larva! How the hell that's possible. I saw other day him almost winning vs. Jaehoon as offrace zerg, that's fine he's failhoon but Larva? Did he kill a drone at start or wasn't playing serious? Or God himself being God of SC here? I remember when he won 3rd ASL he said maybe I will play offrace now jokingly. Seems like he was serious lol.

Are you talking about this game vs Larva?

It is a good game no doubt, but when you see the other two games of that Bo3 where he loses quite quickly because his unusual opening didn't work out, you know he is not up there with the better players yet.

I last played this game in 2001. That's probably when I last used this username too, come to think of it.

Does it matter which battlenet gateway I use? Does it save record between gateways? Mostly I'm interested in getting games quickly, ideally against people better than me, which shouldn't be hard.

I'm currently in Eastern Europe with a good connection (500/100).


Get a VPN to Korea (mudfish), so that way you'll get game instantly at every time of a day.

Larva actually based his look on Mcgregor

Effort always leaving after beating Flash, never giving him a chance to get his revenge.

btw right now if you log on "asia" with the bnet app you get very unstable laggy games (maybe specifically with lots of people in the game to spectate? im not sure the exact conditions) so most people in korea are logging on "americas" instead to fix it but its annoying because the friends list is seperate

You will find plenty of people to play, it will just take a few hard losses for you to settle in a stable MMR if you're truly new to the game. There are Discors channels for finding games against noobs as well, let me know if you want a link (am on mobile now, can't be arsed).

that's cool. i'm a noob in that i've never played but i never got past D+ on iccup before starcraft 2 came out. i noticed that US West has 1k players on tonight while Korea has 8k. Do people in states connect to Korea or is it just that popular over there?

I'd definitely be interested in a discord for finding games instead of just laddering randos, when you have a chance to send me info.

It's just that popular in Korea. Keep in mind that regardless of where you connect from or to, ladder is "global" in that it connects you to the people who have the best connection to you and who have the closest MMR to you, so it doesn't really matter what gateway you choose.
