Can we please get some satire racist names for Z P and T? I enjoy comedy that mocks negative social sterotypes. | ||

http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/prologue.html There is a resource you hear day9 talk about in his early podcasts, before the dailies got started. I guarantee any player that is climbing his way to the top has considered this resource. You see it in players like morrow, july, inc and select. They are playing the game to win. They aren't playing show matches. They are playing to win, and if you enjoy watching players do everything they can to win, you will like their games. It's just how competition works in this environment. If you read even part of that, your enjoyment of the game will go up. | ||

TLO SCOUTED the 4gate and STILL LOST. There is no excuse, he was totally outplayed from an advantageous position. | ||

Sorry but I don't think you get it. Look at the timings. InControl scouted a no-gas fast expand build. As a protoss, you have two choices: A) go into a macro game, way way behind B) just go fucking kill him Choosing option B there isn't cheesy, even if Incontrol is manner enough to say otherwise. TLO chose a risky build, failed to scout the pylon (even after seeing 4 gates :O) and got punished appropriately. | ||

Mmm it would have been exciting had TLO gotten that ghost out or something, and there was a chance to see some crazy micro hold it off, but as soon as inc dropped two forcefields to prevent the SCV surround, I tuned out. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I don't fault inc for taking advantage of it whatsoever, but I was VERY excited for the matchup and seeing a whole 14 minutes of gaming between two games really deflated that hopeballoon. | ||

I only noticed 2 gates and someone else in this thread said 2gate+SG all in. But since you're poiting out there was a 3rd gate you're right. =D My bad. Still don't think all in = cheese. When you see your enemy going something greedy the proper response several times can be an all in. Cheese for me is cnanon rush, proxy rax. Just a personal view tho. | ||

I don't blame someone for doing whatever they can to win. I do blame the game. It is not exciting and it is irritating. It costs almost nothing to attempt cheeses like that and the potential reward is a free win off a single stupid mistake. If you like that then have fun watching, but I lose any desire to watch sc2 games every time I see it happen. User was banned for this post. | ||
