I've seen that same move done plenty of times on this map, to the point that sending an overlord there is not a good idea against a pro player.

MVP had done overlord sniping for a long long time too.

Yea but Boxer put 2 rax on the low ground right in the path of the ovie instead of doing the lift

Started in Broodwar.

Yeah he did, I've seen him do that alot on his stream by proxying his barracks and lifting it to get an early overlord kill and gain an advantage.

I'm very nervous for Grubby vs Stephano. I have been waiting for Grubby to get the better of Stephano for months. I hope today is the day. When does that match start EST? 4:30?

fixed

Destiny even scouted the barracks, and still sent his OL there...

Still they could make it possible for you to reconnect like some other games.

I believe the reference to when it started most recently in SC2 though yeah if you want to be super technical it started in BW

Lan support at least for tourneys plz :/ Overall event looks kinda nice, although their stream had some issues.

I think Destiny showed his potential in that first game but also his weaknesses. He handled the engagements brilliantly 99% of the time but the drops killed him. Was a cool game to watch but there were mistakes no doubt.

I wonder why tournaments have disconnect issue all the time. I have only disconnected no more than 3 times since I bought SC2.

The technology just isn't there yet

Demuslim sent the SCV straight to the tower after building the rax to spot the overlord i dont think theres anywhere he could have sent the overlord to save it. correct me if im wrong though

...and to all the people saying that spawnkilling the overlord is a new idea, it has existed for like a decade in BW... -.-
