Also in a death ball observers are the slowest unit (probably second only to HT's) so when you're chasing down an enemy it's incredibly easy to separate from your obs, it's like dragging a ball and chain. | ||

Elfi got observer speed to fix that, but unfortunately observers are very easily popped when you have 1235489 orbital commands. | ||

They're a huge brand with a pretty good reputation. nvidia is developing the chips in graphic cards. They dont sell them to you but to companys like Asus who then use the chip to build a graphic card | ||

I think he expected BW level observer use where people would get the speed upgrade and keep multiple observers around so that with careful control even if he scans and tries to snipe you don't really lose detection at any point. Best example is game 5 of Jangbi vs Fantasy where jangbi kept 3 observers with his carriers against mass wraith and fantasy managed to snipe 2 but jangbi managed to keep his 3rd one alive. | ||

ASUS (and abit) made the best quality PC motherboards for a very long period of time. (ASUS is still my fav. now). ASUS now manufacturers lots of other parts, as well as fully made PC's. | ||

Fact is, even if the Terran has less bases and significantly less SCV's, they can manage to keep up with a Zerg or Protoss economy quite well with Mules. Thus harassing a Terran for the purpose of killing workers won't do as much damage as harassing a Zerg or Protoss to kill workers, though it still does damage. Sometimes it is better to focus your harass on supply depots, add-ons, ect. The picture below is from a game between Attero and Spades. Attero has almost double the worker the count... ![]() it's what mules do, same with Chrono boost it allows you to get enough workers to be at an even gathering rate as terran, same with zerg larvae mechanics , lets not forget mules mine out patches much faster and the need to deny bases means so much more | ||

I turned it off when White-ra went down 0-2 after that terribly unfortunate pylon block, really surprised to see he came back. Us loyal fans of the WhiteRa watched as he began his destined win in the next three games. I actually have them all jumbled up in my head: Game 3: Ret goes for drop all-ins and WhiteRa opens phoenix and scouts it and snipes an overlord with 6-7 lings in it. He also makes some void rays and more gateways and rather easily holds off the waves of drops, which later included hydras on Terminus (the map with the free third). Ret GGs as he cannot kill WhiteRa. Game ???: WhiteRa goes for 7 gate, but throws in a warp prism and Ret has very few units to deal with 7 warp ins of zealots every now and then. It was kind of poorly played by ret, he started roach/ling production at 45 drones and thought that WhiteRa had given up the scouted attack, and began redroning like mad, then he has ridiculous amounts of units in his main. Game 5?: WhiteRa goes for economic Stargate build again and Ret goes for fast third. Longest game, by far with whitera warp prisming all of Ret's expansions, Ret is forced to allin with his entire army of 10-15 broodlords and lings lings lings, but that's really all he can manage with all his mining bases gone. WhiteRa meanwhile has a large stalker force and 4 or so colossus and defends well enough to win the game. | ||
