They can. Collosus drops onto mineral lines.. Oh yeah!

What is your name? I don't ever remember playing you.
Regardless i was at 80% and rank 3 in the world masters about 2 weeks ago at 1230 points. Currently i'm down after going on a huge losing streak and tilting hard for the first time since this season started but still at about 1150 with about a 74% w/r
Compare that to Artosis with a sub 50% w/r and sub 1000 points. LiquidTravis I haven't played you in the last two months at least, since i save the last 2 months in replays and i have none bearing your name Its irrelevant, however. Strictly speaking about Artosis, he is undeserving of his spot On another note, this conversation happened for like 10 pages in week 3 and nothing came of it.
He isn't undeserving of his spot. At least not for the first invite season. I know originally NASL came out claiming 'the best 50 players in the world' or some garbage but that's obviously impossible. They made players send in application videos so that they could go off of more data than simply 'how well do you play?' Artosis was brought in because hes a super star, he's like the celebrity guest. Does it suck that a really amazing player can't compete because of these 'celebrity guests?' Sure. However, that 1 good player who is missing doesn't bring nearly as much to the league as Artosis does. People are excited to see Artosis play regardless of how good he is right now.
It's like if you were starting a basketball league and instead of getting the greatest players not in the NBA (GSL could be the NBA here I suppose) you invite a couple celebrities Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, sure they aren't relevant anymore but the star power they bring draws attention to your league.
It's crazy that this needs to be explained every single time Artosis plays. People need to use their heads. This is brand new organization that wants popularity so the invited arguably the most beloved and famous SC community member, ever.

Look at that kiting by concussive shells. They remind me of Dryads from WC3.

ooh grubby this is horrible

Concussive shells /sigh.
Boring game.

Grubby waaaay too eager to FE. You really don't need to expand before Terran

Did you miss TLO microing to separate groups of units; how is that boring! Micro fest is awesome!

TLO's ahead but not unsurmountable. But probably...

This is a bad map for a 3 gate sentry based expand unfortunately against terran, if you do it, you HAVE to engage at the 2 chokes and have a spotter to see enemies coming in. Expansion is way too open.

It seems so silly a massive Colossus going in that little frail warp prism :p A bit like the ultralisk going in an overlord
Colossus just disappears into Prism with a Stalker's blink animation. Envy Protoss' compact dimension-contraction technology.

Has anyone else lost interest in TvP. I play Terran, but find the matchup very very stale to both watch and play. Its the exact same unit compositions every game, the same style on every server regardless of the players. I don't know if others agree, but i'd much rather watch the two other cross match ups.

For the Terran.
