Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Why is it ridiculous to do a German Interview with a German Player infront of a German Crowd in Germany? A English Interview would be rather strange imo


Because there is something called a 'stream' too? People are paying to watch a quality stream. It's an international tournament, e-sports is international. It's time for everyone to speak English in this kind of things.


Thank you. What I dont understand is that it is only German events that still does part of the event in a native language. Did you see any swedish interview with jinro/morrow/sjow infront of all the swedish nerds at dreamhack? No you didnt. E-sports is international, how will it grow even more if we dont use the most common language between nations?

It has become better though I have to say that. A couple of years ago you couldnt even find an english stream from ESL events.

Really? What about the 2011 European Battle.net Invitational?


Thats how its should be done here too. Especially for the paying customers.


(the 2011 European Battle.net Invitational had native commentary at the event and for stage presentations)

Pure luck? So it wasn't Socke's fault for not paying attention or pulling back?


luck [lʌk]
n
1. events that are beyond control and seem subject to chance; fortune

he had no control over socke's forcefield, this is luck.
he clearly made an arrogant move, high masters protosses (the ones i meet in ladder on europe) rarely miss such forcefields, it was simply luck, or socke thinking that his enemy would be more respectful of him.


it wasnt subject to chance, it was subject to Socke's miscontrol, which he expected and got rewarded for

Shouldn't stay like that with just a few stalkers and sentries, T can easily destroy
you with concussive shells. He could've even pulled a few SCV's if Socke had
more units outside.
Especially as Protoss nowadays, with 1/1/1 T tactics going on you dont
want to loose units early!


He had sentries could have forcefielded forever and ever Socke didnt pay attention andgot punished for it like a silver player if he played correctly then he would have been in a beter position what youre saying is very wrong

He did waste a lot earlier too though. IIRC 3 for a marauder and another 3 for like a marine...

Gonna have to agree with this. What PuMa did was essentially the same thing as stimming up a Toss's ramp and hoping he doesn't forcefield in time. Ideally, Socke would have cut off a couple of Puma's units and whittled him down a bit, while Puma takes damage from the stim.

it's definitly not the same thing. when you are on the high ground, you have more vision and have more reaction time. But controlling from the down the ramp you have maybe less then 0.25 secends.
It was more risky play by Socke than Puma


What I meant was that it's the same dynamic regarding the ramp and cutting off units, but, obviously, harder for a FF contain than for FF defense.

Tbh i think stimming down that ramp was a mistake. I don't think Socke is screwing up that contain so badly very often. Puma got pretty lucky not to lose half of his army right there.


If his army was split in half it would have been a mistake but it didnt.

I think that was worth it, but when he pushed up the ramp, he threw down 4 ff's behind the supply depots.

Stimming down the ramp with sentries waiting for you is always a gamble, but when it works, it's almost always game-ending. Puma made his own luck there.

You're right at a lower level, but Socke could just preemptive ff, put pylons near the puma's base to scout drops and snipe them. This kind of contain, if well made are great.

With 5 sentries you can FF a choke FOREVER if you have a nice timing with the forcefield.

I am pretty sure Socke made the robo because he saw the bunker. It usually indicates starport tech.
