nah, they're really the most skill-based unit Protoss has, maybe even in the entire game. They're shit for a low level player but if you're good you can get so much out of them. And they never mean an instant win.

Nah, as a low level player phoenix are also good in the low levels cause as bad as they are at controlling them, you're also bad at defending them.

the apm required to do anything with them messes you up, though. A low level Zerg player just has to build Spores but the protoss player has to micro very carefully to pick off stray queens, OLs and Drones and a lower level player will just start floating tons of minerals and gas and get behind when controlling phoenix

unbelievably WELL, Brendan

americans don't understand this difference

The only English caster who gets this right is Kaelaris so I'm not sure being American has anything to do with it.

i have been told by linguistics professors that using "good" instead of "well" is an American English phenomenon, but of course it's possible that listening to a lot of American English can have an influence on British/other speakers, and it is also possible that said linguistics professors were simply wrong.


Never heard of this issue, but after a little googling it seems both are correct. Languages changes with time, after all. I'm not a grammar nazi, but apparently it has something to do with "linking verbs" and "predicate adjective". So you can say "I'm good" instead of "I'm well", or "he's doing good", because good describes the verb "doing", without it meaning he's doing a good deed. Idk. I had an american drumteacher a few years back, and when he asked "How are you?" and I said "Well", he waited for like 20 seconds, because he thought I was just starting a sentence with "well....". :p


That's the difference between an adverb and an adjective. I've noticed that American English tend to have an improper use of adjectives as if they were adverbs. Well is both. Good is only supposed to be an adjective but improper use made its current usage as adverb.

Man, I'm finding this frustrating to watch. Zest is making Protoss look OP. I don't know why this is frustrating rather than exciting for me tonight, though. Haha.

Phoenix into immortal is just so obnoxious. Zerg has no real way to deal with it.

"correct" is not really a useful categorization. as you say, language changes, and when it comes to colloquial language use, nobody gives a flying fuck what a dictionary would have to say about their utterances. in my opinion, something becomes a valid use of language as soon as more than one speaker uses it, or potentially even if only one speaker uses it but other competent speakers of the language the speaker is using understand what they're trying to express.


I agree, was just pointing out that the existing grammar rules do no rule out the use of good. Urban dictionary is probably the most updated dictionary out there, because it reflects what people actually say and what they mean by it.


to be fair most of urban dictionary is just made up it seems

what if i told you all of language is made up
