Well, yeah. :3 I'm a high plat, so I'm reasonably sure I can take any non-Diamonds I get matched against. Maybe.
Anyone else, 12port banshee rush.

Well I'd best heed the previous post here.
Basically I had a look at gamestahs previous starcraft 2 coverage, lacking to be honest. The guys are great and i understand that they have all the gear set up and ready to go, however they just have no knowledge of the sc2 game... I'd be happy to help out if possible. Obviously they are the ones with the hardware, just painful to watch them try to remember the map names.
