The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:
1. Whining about stream 2. Bashing other games 3. Flaming other users 4. Bashing players 5. Complaining about imbalance
Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#) |

Hatch first openings is a greedy build. When half of the TL readers knew what was coming before game 3 started should have been a sign to open 14 pool. Hatch first is not a greedy build. It's standard and keeps you even. Its this stupid mentality that loses IdrA games.. Noblesse committed a lot of economy to that rush, IdrA would have been far ahead with a pool first still. It's 2 rax map, IdrA should have expected it. Idra is stupid for not blind countering it then? That's basically what you're saying. I'm saying he wouldn't be behind if he played safer. And should have expected it. Doesn't matter what noblesse did, its better to play safe.
I don't see why Zergs need to FE to "keep even" with the non-Zerg opponent. That just doesn't sound right to me. Get your pool first, get a queen earlier if you'd like (hey more larvae!), and get the hatchery down a minute or two later with the knowledge that you can't lose 5 minutes into the game.

(Vote): Ret (Vote): Nada
Nada...for now. So unconvincing lately, but still good enough to be considered all round stronger than Ret. u sure? from wat i saw yesterday id give ret a 60-40 edge(skillwise)
I think all these skill comparisons are still way too shaky and volatile right now to make much sense. Ret was looking relatively mediocre for quite a while until he absolutely tore through the EU invitational, while Nada was looking extremely strong and a real contender for Code S until he got abolutely dismantled by Byun last season. Right now I would give a small edge to Ret, but that might very well change again soon.

I'm really tired of people saying someone like Stephano, darkforce or nerchio is better than Idra. Sure Idra hasn't produced any major tournament wins recently, but just based on his play Idra looks insanely better than some of the players listed by other people. Honestly the only foreign zergs better than Idra in my opinion are Sen and maybe Ret and Dimaga.

Those players are heavy hitters? lmao all their heavy hitters are there, and half of them are ones that haven't been with EG for more than a month. SSSSSSWING and a miss.
