  • This thread is some reasonable discussion about scouting. I'm super ambivalent including this thread but the thing that pushed me over is this: in Starcraft, you gotta make trade-offs. I heard some people advocate 9 hatch 9 pool 9 ovie (or something like that) to fend off the proxy 2 gates. If you're using that build, proxy 2 gate has already done its damage. Scouting early defends you from all-ins but you waste the minerals you otherwise would have mined from that worker. In the same way, sending that early scout means that all-ins have already made you pay. It's always something to think about when you make decisions.
  • Metal[x] linked to his most recent reppack here. He is from China and his thread number is 88838. That is good luck. He is a very good 2v2 player. His reps will bring you good luck in your 2v2s.
  • Awesome poster SuperJongMan translates a PvZ goon-sair timing attack. This awesome translation can be found here. The sair-zeal can be here. The ever so awesome 4 gate 2 archon push can be found here.

abomb was just banned by EvilTeletubby.

That account was created on 2009-12-19 04:16:24 and had 10 posts.

Reason:
I've been working on my reviews for work lately... lets see how this sounds:

The views and opinions you have expressed are inconsistent with this organization's moral & ethical position. Your character was recently called into consideration, and it was determined to be incompatible with the direction our company is traveling. Your mere presence in your short tenure here has cause a significant lack of productivity, and a large amount of unwanted distraction. In short, Mr. abomb, we regret to inform you that you are no longer a member of this website. Your account has been deactivated, and your belongings are with the receptionist. Thank you for your time.

Alongside with like 20 more tdotkrayz bans lol. The better ones are on page 200 if you'd like to look. Too many to list!

Was a pretty epic Pony Express =) thanks ya'll!
