So, uh, that makes MC bad as well, by default? I mean, he's the one that did the strat that could have been beaten by the low level diamond player you are talking about?
This strat was planned by MC only because of Steppes. This map meant marine-scv all in into MC transitioning to losing his whole f***in base. This is actually a decent strat against terran in this map, if you're not confident you can hold the initial marine aggression.

I would have never ever wanted to hurt myself reading TL's comments like 6 months ago, even though sometimes comments on live reports were so bad. But today, with all those non-players pros that think they figured the game out who are really getting on my nerves, I'll probably have to stop reading those kind of threads just in order to preserve my sanity.
I know this is off-topic.. but what the fuck is your icon?! :O

The form that is there is entry level compositional technique, and there is barely any clever rhyme or modulation. Its like a massive drone of amateur harmony and melody with predictable cliche changes and high/low points. Stuff like this really proves that if you just make something sound artificially busy that people will be into it. Just like how burger king commercials never let the camera stay still etc.
its catchy and fun.
unlike tons of western popmusic which is 99% downright crap(POPOPOPPOPOKERFACE)
dont be so serious about it.
also sometimes "bad" and simple stuff can be very good.look at vybz kartel in the dancehall scene. mostly super simple and dumb music but sooooo freakin catchy cause the guy has some magic.
Modern music in general is crap.
cant say that. there is tons of amazing stuff out there in pretty much all genres. just most of it isnt what you see on tv.
Not in my opinion. Music reached it's peak almost 300 years ago and it's been going downhill ever since.
Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones...
Now, let's keep this thread about the match huh?
I like how you compared two of the most overrated bands of all time to the baroque era.
i like how you called 2 of the most influencial and important bands in history overrated
Subjectivity vs. objectivity. hmmm...
I like how you compare classic and rock. My statement was merely that music evolved beyond classic music. Arguing which of the 2 genres are better is like arguing wheter an apple or an orange is the best fruit - it's idiotic. Classic music reached its pinneacle 300 years ago; music didn't, and it probably never will reach it as it will constantly evolve.

1) As soon as it's scouted, build your rax behind your mineral line. 2) Build bunker in the direct center of your mineral line. 3) Bunker now covers all your scvs, your rax, and your CC.
Don't listen to noobs saying to attack the pylon/gates with your workers, tasteless and artosis know what they're talking about.
What you suggest might work, but it's still very difficult when Protoss is producing Zealots at the same rate that you are producing marines, I don't know if you're actually playing the game or just watch a lot and blindly accept everything that Tasteless and Artosis say as the undeniable truth.
I for one have faced proxy gate cheese on SoW multiple times in ladder, though maybe not this particular one that MC was doing, and each and everytime I defended it comfortably by sending 3-4 SCVs to kill of the pylon. Believe me or not, it does work.

Yeah, this is dumb. Tasteless and Artosis are obviously so tired of hearing dumb people that they actually took a full minute going out of their way to explain to you that attacking buildings with scvs is not a good idea but I come to this thread and half the posts are saying he should have attacked with his SCVs. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Just because Artosis (Tasteless did not say this, Artosis did) says something doesn't mean it's true.
Cheese will always be apart of SC2. Just because MC cheeses one game, doesnt mean hes a cheating cheesing scrub.
Look at it this way. Your so close to 80,000 dollars. Your opponent has an oppritunity to come back 2-2. You cheese and make it 3-1 adding the elimination pressure to your opponent, thus increasing your chances of taking the next game.
