starcraft subreddit

TBH, it's mostly teamliquid links and various replays.

I find it hilarious how this HDstarcraft guy just discovered the BW scene in like less than a year (I'm assuming based on the content of his BW commentaries) before beta came out , makes a name that will appeal to new sc2 players, and now he has 44,000 subscribers.

Smart.

finally someone does this..when they first showed blink like 2 years ago i think people thought about this but apparently everyone forgot cus i've like never seen anyone do this in beta

reeeeeeeeally strong vs roaches and synergizes very very well with protoss's new way of quickly regenerating shields

That was nothing special at all, it's what Yellow did 2 years ago.

I believe he means the stalker micro technique was shown quite a while back by Blizzard themselves.

Idra just overdroned without knowing what his opponent was doing

He had the drone in for quite a while, unfortunately didn't see the fast citadel. But I think he left because that tactic really caught him offguard

Good play by bobby either way.

I think he left because the game was over and leaving the game when you can't possibly come back is something that most people do.

I feel sorry for idra, he can't leave a game without people saying he "ragequit" or something

I think he was talking about a player named Sonic who used that. IIRC hes a WC3 player but I could be mistaken. It was broadcasted by dustin browder and robert simpson.

this video is fake

immortal is only counter to roaches~~

For some reason I can't stop watching Husky and HD's casts, I even downloaded and setup the single player SCII just to give it a try, you know, that looks like fun I could do that. Oh wait I suck horribly and watching these videos is more fun than playing.

I just recently got SC1 and WC3 after watching maybe 5 hours of H to the Usky Husky and HD's commentary I really want to get into starcraft it looks like so much fun.

Moving around the map and keeping track of everything for a nub is fucking hard.

was hoping to see some actual micro, P wasn't even focus firing

So:
Protoss have super awesome and strong and engaging blink micro. (it sparkles)

Zerg have super awesome and strong and (less) engaging burrow micro

Terran have... reaper/maurader/helion kiting? LAME. maybe stim+run counts for something. maybe NOT.

Incredible blink control. Oddly enough, I still don't see blink used all that often, even when my Protoss opponents have stalkers in the mix. It's just so strong, and in my opinion, can pay for itself very quickly.

On top of being useful in battle situations as highlighted in the video vs Idra, it can also be used effectively in harass situations as well.

Really strong ability.

The best part about this is you know Idra probably sat there bitching about cheese, when he clearly got outplayed/microed BADLY.

Idra will never be the top SC2 player, though he will be very good, because smart players will know that they can throw him off with cheese and play with his head a bit, just like Nony did in TSL.

Sure, you can do it. Can you do it while maintaining unit production at that warp-in pylon, while building in base, and while making sure to come back and blink out the damaged stalkers like this player did.

Why is Idra such an ass and doesn't gg before he quits? Acting like a whiny 8 year old is not cool, I don't care if he was pro in Korea.

90% of players don't gg when they leave games, how do you discern that he's a whiny 8 year old?

on eu server most ppl actually gg before they leave, even on ladder. in tourneys its really 90% or more who gg.

Most people on US server don't, and this definitely wasn't a tourney. People need to just leave idra alone and stop assuming he has an aneurysm whenever he loses a game.

Wouldnt really call this impressive micro, the only thing that would be impressive if is idra would actually be abble to beat this army, but stalkers much faster than roaches/zerglings and bigger range, don't have to be next bisu to click a few stalkers to the back, idra's army is handicapped vs this so simply not that impressive ;e

its like microing maradeurs with slow upgrade vs zealots/stalker or so, or to speak in wc3 terms dryads vs grunts or sorceress vs grunts etc, even though this was a bit harder, not really all that hard :D

Personally, I consider calling "gg" a responsibility because it contributes and maintains the best gaming community in the world. If you have come to love the manners of this community (whether it's unofficial, competitive, or just plain leisure, show your respect and call gg.
