You are right. Let me fix that.

On the next SOTG
JP: What did you think of the EG performance Geoff? Puma was pretty good. Idra a bit less *awkward laugh*
iNcontroL: You know, after the first 4 games, I really thought IdrA would give up. But he didn't and that is important. I think we really saw the new and improved IdrA here. This is the first step towards a new IdrA. I think that IdrA came out stronger after this tournament. But we have so much talent in EG, this tournament Puma ended up high, next time it will be IdrA being the strongest EG player.
Tyler: *smirking in the background*

That's when someone promised you a back-rub, but they're kind of pissed at you too, so they do it in spite.

iNcontrol: mm you know, Speaking kinda selflessly for a moment. It wasn't just a win for a idra, it was a win for all of us. Eg has been struggling, especially in teamleagues. going 1-5 1-4, all killed by sheth. So we have been beaten up for 2012, so going into this event puma doing well as allways and IdrA roflstomping SuperNoVa one of the best Terrans in the world. It was awesome, it was absolutely awesome. Becouse going into the event too like the IdrA we are talking about now (after crushing SuperNoVa) should not be the same IdrA we are talking end of this year or hopefully midlle of the year, who knows but. He is a major tournament winningcaliber player. I have been saying that for a long time. People like to throw that to my face when he does not live up to it but he has hell a lot of expectations too. He is cabable of doing it and THIS win showed it. And everyone was happy about it, machine was here with his grilfriend, they were jumping for joy. I was at the edge of my seat all the time and at the enf of the game i was on the verge of tears i was so happy. We are sick and tire to get our asses handed to us, IdrAs win over SupernoVa was the beginning of really good year for us.Im really proud of IdrA, our team and sponsors and my fans.

What would you build ravens for in TvP? PDD is nice, but it only really affects stalkers and doesn't help with collossi or high templar at all (which are the actual damage dealers lategame). HSM is extremely slow with an extremely small radius. I tried ghost/raven tank/hellion in tvp before and it's awful, HSM doesn't do anything vs. protoss units =/.

It's also ridiculously hard to control. You need several control groups, bio, then ghosts, ravens and vikings. that's 4 control groups if you want to add ravens to your army. It's already extremely hard to micro 3 control groups, 4 control groups is just insane, especially when 1 control group requires constant micro (bio) and 2 control groups are casters.

Let's assume you have 2 Ravens with your main army. You throw down 2 PDDs and 2 Turrets.
The Turrets will draw the aggresion from the chargelots and thus give you 1 or 2 more salvae for free whlie kiting, not sure about that though.
The main reasons for me would be detection(save scans for more minerals to get a more even bank) and the ability to fly around to an expansion and just put 3 or 4 turrets behind the mineral line. Would be not a big supply investment and is normally able to do a lot of damage.
This is just theorycrafting though, because i have NO way to play SC2 right now :D

Select losing when the BLs come out...

Hmm... terrans are certainly struggling against them... maybe they should adopt Polt's drops everything strategy.

You know Mr Bitter sounds so much like DoA...

Keep those 2 away from each other.. pairing them in a cast might cause a tear in the fabric of time.

Or at least tear out my eardrums from a perfect storm of stale humor.
