Rotti is a PvP expert, and Mr Bitter plays zerg and hates toss ;p, it's just helping him out afaik.

You can feel the tension between the two. And also the way Rotterdam correct it with a big NO!, and Mr.Bitter saying No? If it's was Day9 correcting DJwheat or Artosis correcting Tasteless its less harsher tone.

I'm getting so sick and tired of this - SHUT IT already, will you?

Rotti and MrBitter have repeatedly stated that they don't have any problems with one another, spending long hours in their free-time together laddering and stuff. They correct each other because they don't feel the need to be overly polite and blindly agree with every nonsense the other one fabricates. It's much, much better than the "blablablablblubb" "yeah, I agree".

You people look for drama everywhere, it seems.

Why you mad? clam down it's just discussion.

I am honestly quite mad as well, simply because of the blatant stupidity displayed here. Its kind of hard to fathom for me that people can be that dense.

What should Socke have done? Even focusing the colossi, he would surely not kill 3, maybe 1, max 2.


Ye i agree. focusing the collosus wouldn't have changed anything anyway.

So not doing anything besides lifting a single stalker is better than lifting immortal and zealots (which gives you a chance at winnign ground fight) and killing colussus?


No, but saying Socke lost because of that is completely wrong. There were no way for him to win this fight. He lost as soon as he started that fight.

Maybe you should find a better reason for him to lose the game instead of the obvious "oh he switched target before killing the collosus !"


No..phoenix is build order counter to colossus. Even MC mentioned it in Homestory Cup. Rotterdam is right. I don't know why people doubt him about PvP. You need to attack while the colsosus is 2 or less. At 3, the colossus burst damage will zealots way too fast. Socke's phoenix also engaged way too late. The Phoenix needs to engage the colossus before the colossus engaged Socke's main army.

awww lift the immortals focus the stalkers with your own immortals and then retreat while poking the colossi!
Socke couldn't decide on what to do with the phoenix really.



You guys all realize it takes like 14 phoenix shots to kill a stalker right? And 3x that to kill a colossus.

At that time the colossus have killed half of the ground army...

He should have never engaged that army. Snipe the nexus and run away, maybe kill some workers in the main with phoenix to distract mana.




thats why you use your immortals and own stalkers to kill their stalkers, then run for the hills, while your phoenix will kill the colossi, just like i said. Nothing about killing stalkers with phoenix ... so hit quote on th wrong person ;P.

Anyway 35 probes on one base this game? bit to much investment into eco heh. getting nervouse these two

Not only does this "discussion" not belong here, but you are also wrong.

It's very annoying that always people who are obviously not very familiar with the respective casters feel the urge to start those "discussions"

He had 3 or 4 Phonix when mana had 2 collossus. and mana had the surperior ground army.
I don't see him winning this.

Key was that Mana expanded instead of attacking. That's where he won the game. I'd actually consider it a build order loss cause socke had no timing the entire game and then was forced to attack.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Phoenix build is great against colossus yes. But in this particular fight, there was no way for socke to win. You can try to do the fight with the exact same amount of unit, you'll never win the fight.

I love Rotti, I love Bitter, and I love Bitterdam. Can we all just stop fighting and enjoy the games that are being played. Everyone can take their caster bashing to IRC or something, we don't want it here.

I'd like to see any of you do what they do in front of thousands of people, so that we can then bash you for being a douche.
