guys and what about bratok vs beastyqt game? :O
|
darkforce should win pretty convincingly, minigun has the edge i'd say
|
|
|
Mmm. Why does the observer not show both of the player's food supply in the top right/middle?

It's on a cloaked map, it screws with that functionality.

dde has like no upgrades, he's not going to last long
|
Gogo Darkforce!

Ghosts dude. I have no idea why people still scramble for vikings
|
That was pretty sweet to watch.
I was a little upset that Darkforce never really used all of those infestors that he had, but he played well and did good.
|
great game by darkforce. nice use of nydus

Ya that is a great question, also he waited like 3 minutes to start his second banshee. I just think he was not paying attention at all to Dark's army and felt rather silly when he saw them swarming up his ramp.

DDE was in such a good position, I was so worried for Darkforce...then there was no wall lol
GG, well done Darkforce =)
|
No reason to not wall off there =/ happy for darkforce though, such a good zerg!

Lol I wonder who Raelcun was rooting for? It sounded more like a loved one had died judging by his reaction then.
|
Omg, that was awesome!
Check out the aTnDarkforce vs sixjaxdde series, very close!

I think he didn't mean to kill with the banshees, so he just delayed so the first banshee would pop out with cloaking. But yeah, it was questionable decision making all around.

cough cough. I tried. I guess im some what color blind or something. I didnt see his army coming to me at all =(

Jesus christ Raelcun, your relativity is killing me
|

Low FPS? Me too. Not running very smooth but still running.
|
Holy crap CocoA overextended like crazy. If he loses this game and the series, he's gonna be kicking himself. A single engagement cost him everything. He was so far ahead.
|
C'mon CocoA! 3-0 that sodding Mister Fourgate.
|
CocoA is too far behind now. His upgrades aren't anywhere near the same level. And minigun is in full death ball mode. Gonna need epic epic epic EMPs to have any chance.
|
Games like this make me think I could compete at a higher level. Both players are making so many mistakes it's insane. It's hard to hold concentration during such a long game, but it seems like every battle either 1 or both players go afk...
|
Who's casting this? I do not mean what I'm about to say as a flame but there is no way I can convince every single person that reads this that it is not. So I'll just apologize now if anyone reading is a tremendous fan of this caster.
He is very bad. Between the problems with showing replays and his understanding of what happens in them I am thoroughly unimpressed.
He continually debased ROOTMinigun with making mistakes that weren't mistakes at all.
-Mismicro on templars not storming!! (Reality- The templars didn't have enough energy to storm)
-Micmicroing the colossii walking them through the vikings. (Reality-3 Archons were morphing directly underneath the Vikings. Minigun continued to engage the bio ball, pushing it back in retreat. If he had retreated his colossii instead they would have taken just as much damage by the Vikings AND the bio ball would not have retreated, instead it would have eaten those 3 archons.)
He referred to feedbacking on the minimap as an exploit.
His analysis of what is happening is woefully lacking, especially since these are replays and he could just watch them before casting them.
Anyway these are my gripes. I apologize again if anyone really likes this caster but I'm having issues enjoying watching these games solely because of the casting. Definitely room for improvement in my opinion.
Now for the shocking reveal: GO CocoA!
(you thought I was a Protoss player didn't you? ^^ )
Edit: DDE you fought well!

it may seem like they go afk but you aren't taking into account that they are still multi-tasking on a large map and have their attention either at another battle, macroing, etc. the caster's camera can't be everywhere at once
|
CocoA kind of screwed that push up by leaving his marines in the bunkers at the top of the ramp. He had 8 marines in the 2 bunkers that really didn't do anything at all. If he pulled those he might have been able to do more damage (although I'm guessing he would have lost either way). Either way, GG and I sure hope that one mistake on Tal'darim doesn't end up screwing over CocoA.

While I do agree with you in general, just want to point out that he is probably given the replays immediately before he has to cast them. I doubt he has any time to actually browse through. I'm sure IGN doesn't want a caster accidently spoiling a result.
|
Valid point. Even as I was writing that vindictive diatribe I knew I was going overboard but reading it now.. Despite still considering my opinion correct I think I was too harsh. Its not like I can do any better.

|
And they say Protoss only has a deathball ;p
|
|
|
Well, on to the next cast! GG CocoA
|
Who won? Stream isn't working and last I saw CocoA was 50 food behind in game 5 :-(
|
|
|
Holy crap that is a ton of terrans qualifying.
1 toss, 5 zergs, 10 terran lol
Hopefully things balance out a bit in the next qualifiers.

I've never said that i was a pro player ;(, I just play the game and try to play tournaments when i can, i dont live off this nor do i plan on doing it and if you're? :D so good why dont you try winning them.

It doesn't really matter what one person on one forum thats only in the top 70-90% thinks CocoA. You did well in those matches and I'm sorry you lost in the RO8. I hope to see you at more tournaments in the future.

CocoA you used the wrong "your" homie.
Good games today though bud. Turn that frown upside down; you're playing in a tournament with a $50K prize pool.
Easy money friend my man.

If I were you I'd ignore haters like that. We both know that dude can't do any better so don't bother responding. You did great to qualify. Good luck in the tournament!

Yeah I found that frustrating, it drives me nuts when a caster says something blatantly wrong, it takes you away from the game because all you can think about is how contradicting it is with what you see.

Not quite right: only round of 8 made it, so 6 Terran and 2 Zerg. Still, your statement hangs true.

Is Cocoa the former bw player iD.Cocoa?
