Same drill as usual:
  • No caster bashing.
  • Excessive tournament bashing that detracts from game discussion will be met with moderator action. Criticism is welcome, whining is not.
  • In general do your best to stay on topic and discuss what we're all here for: the games.
Enjoy the games guys.

That's not true at all. Every Alex I've met prefer that over alexander. Every matt prefers that over mathew


We were referring to Ukrainian/Russian culture though

He made the dent, but Dimaga was too far ahead at that point

Dmitri = Dmytro is full name. One never uses those unless in casual conversations. Friends use twisted/shortened the names.

Dmitri = Dima, Dimon

i was talking about casual situations between friends and stuff. In other cases we obviously use full names, if the person is older\higher or equal in rank u'd usually mention his second name as well. Like Dmitri Pavlovich.

Bratok was on all his larvae. He would have instantly killed all those zerglings that spawned.

Assuming Bratok doesn't micro his tanks are all while banes and infestors are going down a ramp?>< I mean he could have done stuff better but his play wasn't that confusing.


Building something in that situation is always better than building nothing. Not to mention all the other mistakes, I can't believe you are actually defending Dimaga's decision making this game when his mind had a nuclear meltdown.


huh? He thought he could hold a base if he got broods then use his superior bank to win the game. Obviously that didn't work because he forgot the greater spire. How did he have a nuclear meltdown? Again does anyone actually play this game? He made a big mistake but not wasting his bank into useless zerglings I think wasn't one.


If he actually made units and brought his mutalisks back he wouldn't have had to go into a "basetrade scenario" because it would have been 200 supply to 150. He could have then used his broodlord tech to maybe win the game. Dimaga shot himself in the head with all the bad decisions. And even if all his zerglings died doing nothing that wouldn't have had any impact on whether he could base trade or not because he had 6K minerals.


If he pulled the muta back he wouldn't have killed off all the reinforcements so then he would have been 2 base vs 3 base with all his larvae then expending? I dunno, I just don't see how you can say he shot himself with tons of bad decision making. Just seems like an exaggeration. He made a decision based on what he thought was happening but he made a mistake which in hindsight makes that decision look bad.


I'll take having an army+tech advantage and being down a base with drones anyday over going into a random basetrade situation with only broodlords, no bases, no anti-air and 6K minerals. I guess MrBitter also doesn't play the game because he said what everyone besides yourself has said: Dimaga should have spent his larvae.

I probably expressed wrong. Introducing yourself officially or with unknown person you want to use you full name, unless you want to look friendly. And yes, we prefer short names over full allmost every time.

Russian nicknames have always confused me, because I can't really see how they shorten. =X

Alexander --> Alex
Daniel --> Dan
Jonathan --> Jon or John

Stuff like this makes sense to me. Though, admittedly, I've never understood Robert --> Bob.

The Vladimir shortening is bemusing, and I've never understood how Nikolai --> Kolya.


I think it's an issue with transliteration, or in other words, alternate ways of spelling the same anglicized name. So for example, Dmytro can also be spelled as Dimitro, and thus, Dima for short.

I don't think it's a transliteration issue. I can read Cyrillic, and it still makes no sense to me. =/

I feel like I should find some Slavic linguist and ask if there's a general rule for Russian nicknames.

As I said it's easy to say in hindsight. It's obvious dimaga thought he had his greater spire basically done and made the decision to save supply for his 10 broodlords. It's easy to say "oh look at that guy having a meltdown" with the hindsight.

I see, thanks, I always find it interesting to learn about other people's cultures.
