No player/caster bashing, or balance whining. Bans will be handed out like candy. (page 217)

No sexist jokes or anything of that nature either. Be mature people.

Because it's only $70. That isn't a lot of money to possibly get to play against LosirA.


It costs $70 to enter MLG?

She streams...getting really good exposure at the moment. 100% worth it. Obviously not everyone is there to win. There's also "experiencing life" and "fun". Try it!

pretty sure she is scrolling with the arrow keys, not using random distant hotkeys. Not that it's any better =/

Whats interesting is that almost worked and might have done some serious dmg.

Lol i doubt it. All he has to do is make a round of lings and take it out, no way to actually do "serious" damage.


Well if she put it in right spot and maybe got a couple more cannons to cannon push a round of lings wouldnt take them out by themselves.

Plenty of people do, just to play some fun games in a LAN setting, or play against their heroes. I don't think they expect to get fucking annihilated on the main stage.

"Oh my GOD, NESTEA IS DOING MINDTRICKS LOLOLOL"

*Pulling all the fucking drones along the hugest map ever* .... "Uhm, not the best idea... come home"... *500 minerals losted to that shitty move*

"HE FORCED THE CANCEL!!! MINDGAMES!!! BRILLIANT!!!"

Yeah, so fucking brilliant trading 500 minerals agains only 100... so gosu... Nestea just lost the game there. It wasn't a meta-game move, it was a shitty decision.


Are you sure it was really 500 minerals that was losted though? And for the record, I'm sure it wasn't as shitty as you make it out to be. Give Nestea some credit, he probably was not the retard you make him out to be in that game heh


I mean, Nestea is one of the best in the world. I'm not trying to argue that. I'm only saying, that move was bad. Not the worst decision ever, but bad.

I'm talking about Artosis saying: "OH JESUS!!! GOD-MOVE BY NESTEA DOING THAT MINDTRICK!!!" like "it's nestea, of course he's doing the best thing". And people in this threat going like "MINDBLOW!!!" and all that stuff...

It was a bad move. 500 minerals maybe it's too much... but of course he losted more than 100 minerals (the cost of the cancel) pulling the drones.

I think Nestea just failed there and he was like "Ok, he cancelled and now he's making cannons in the main, so this is a suicidal move", and then Nestea stopped the rush and started playing from behind.



It cost naniwa way WAAAAAY more than 100 minerals.

100 for cancel on nexus. 150 for each of the cannons in his main. 100 for the pylon that was up at his expo. 150 for the forge (maybe not, dunno if he ever rebuilt the forge, it was such a wierd game).

There were two cannons up right away (300 minerals) which along with the nexus and pylon, there's your 500 minerals right there. Then there were other cannons in his main too very slightly later on (he may have canceled them tho when the drones didn't arrive) but I forget how many. One or two for sure.


I think he didn't cancelled the two cannons, but i'm sure he didnt lost the forge. You can say that Naniwa losted more than 100 minerals there, we can say that was a cost for the two players.

But i think it costed more for Nestea. And the POINT of everything its that the brilliant move that Artosis was yelling at us was a... weird move at best...


Actually at least i am 100% certain it was by far a better trade for Nestea.


He has 2 kinda useless cannons in his main, just to be save....can't expand until he has his 4 gates up while Nestea can do whatever the fuck he wants (unless he gets cannoned needlessly in this particular game) and is ultra save.


I might be wrong here, but to me it seems super obvious that Nestea was ahead after his moveout with the drones.


of course he was, this isnt even debatable
edit: and he wasnt slightly ahead, he was ahead by alot

SO says the TT1 SO shall it be (even though it just happened)
[yay for being right :DD]


but the additional lings he made to kill the 2 cannons at his nat and the failed 1st attack he did @ nanis nat(when he loss all his lings without killing anything) coupled with his early 3rd set him behind, due to naniwas followup

Although she was surrounded by friends who were advising her to cheese (the term "proxy gate" was tossed around liberally), Julia shook her head and said that she didn't practice cheese. This will be a real game.


http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/meet-julia-childress-ailuj-first-female-player-on-the-mlg-sc2-main-stage/

Haha


She's against arguably one of the best ZvP players in the world and has been to a GSL finals. Most top foreigners get embarrassed by Losira. Naniwa got destroyed by Losira at Columbus. I'm impressed she had the courage to go on main stage when she knows she has a zero chance of beating Losira.

Obviously she's better. Anyone who isn't mentally challenged can see that she's incredibly nervous.

Because it's fun to play in a tournament? It's not her fault that MLG decided to make it a main stage match lol


It costs money to apply for MLG doesn't it?

not to mention you would get equally as much destroyed even if you were in fact masters
The truth is, Yagami-kun, I suspect that you may in fact be Kira.

People need to remember that Julia has never played on a main stage, she's also against one of the best zergs in the world. She could be 10 times better than this, but nerves would seriously get to you. Like hell any of you could do any better. Don't hate on her for bad play.

Her stream thread says she is high diamond, so I don't see why I couldn't do better than her. No offense. Also, is she using arrow keys? (I just tuned in.)

Edit: I'm just saying this because I'm kinda annoyed they would show us this match for the sole reason that one player is female. (This is also the first match that I've gotten to watch and I have to leave soon again.) Write an article about it if it is groundbreaking or whatever, but don't try to pass it off as competitive or entertaining when it's not.

Probably used to play BW since almost everyone used those hotkeys for their nexus.



its not necessarily 0 or 9

they could be ~ or something and still show up as 0
