Some guy just raged on me and called me an idiot because I opened 1 base roach in zvz when he opened tons of speedlings with a faster expansion... i just chilled on one base, got more drones and a few roaches then moved out with a fastish +1 on my roaches and took my expansion and had full saturation when it popped.
Apparently I am an idiot and a bad player, even though he lost. I think "WHY on EARTH did I lose to this AWFUL build" was probably going through your opponent's mind when they left the game, he/she knew that that game should have been a free win, and they just messed up.

Hah I had a zvz just like that the other day. The gist of it was I took an early lead when he lost track of some of the zerglings of the early game back and forth. They weren't lost, just morphing in the corner of his base 
So I had a lead in every aspect of the game and drew it to late game for fun and practice. After 23 minutes of sniping hidden expansions, beating him on drones, upgrades, infestor counts, anything you could want- I move in for the kill and he puts up a final bad engagement in a last futile defense. Then, instead of gg he offers me this caveat. "it's funny because you're a terrible player" You Win! (random guy is not online)
What I'm getting at here is people raging at a loss, soaked in a puddle of adrenalin and frustration, will say any negative thing they can think of about you. Usually the first thing that comes to mind of course is- You're fucking terrible.
Pay no mind. You have their ladder points.

I'm sure this is an old question but I just recently started watching SC2 after years of being a BW fan.Ireally want to get into SC2 due to all the foreigner involvement that you don't see anymore in the latter years of BW. But watching the game seems really lacking for a very simple reason.
Clumped armies
I hate it. I loathe it. I feel like everything that's bad with SC2 from a spectator's perspective comes from clumped armies. Note I say spectator's perspective, since I enjoy playing the game just fine. But watching the game is a whole different story.
Clumped armies make 200 vs 200 army clashes look like one blob vs another blob. It makes AOE attacks devastating so that entire armies die in a couple of seconds from AOE spells or attacks. It also make it hard to notice details because details get destroyed when you're watching blobs of armies.
So why can't Blizzard make armies a little more spread out. I mean, I saw a recent trailer of HOTS and the engagement was "spread out" to make things look more epic. So why is the game so different? It's hard to be epic when a swarm is not a swarm but just a ball that dies to a couple of tank splashes.
I
Changing balance to satisfy "some" viewers would be completly retarded and i hope noone in Blizzard ever thinks about, it for a second.

I have been using a build where I go mass ling after 14 has 14 pool and attack the choke of the protoss with lings. We haven't figured out a way to hold it off, so I inquire here. Sorry if this post is in the wrong area, and thanks for your help.
|
Have you tried producing.. sentries? Without a replay idk what to say. Mass ling is pretty bad all you have to do is produce a zealot off one gateway and a sentry off a second while getting up a stargate.
Just ff the ramp and konga line zealot after zealot.

Does anyone know when the next GSL broadcast is? Is it really in two weeks when the GSTL playoffs start?

Uhh, Arena of Legends starts this weekend, the 17th, and GSL October starts the 19th according to the gomtv website. So, we just have nothing for this week it looks like.

The perfect week for a patch!

So I just got Internet at my new apartment after two heart-wrenchingly soul-crushing weeks without it. I tried playing some SC2 yesterday but got crushed because I found my mechanics basically back to Bronze level. Has anyone else gone through the same thing, and how did you shake off the rust?

2 Weeks should be manageable, perhaps try some games vs. ai, but I think you just had some bad luck or so..

Is there a way to turn off the annoying "You have not enough minerals" and "You have not enough supply" messages? I don't need that girl yapping in my ears telling me things I already know. I could have sworn there was a way to turn her off and that I'd done it before, but now I can't find the setting, despite looking at every tab in Options. Am I missing something?

The option you're looking for is Menu -> Options -> Sound -> Untick the "Error Sounds" option.
That disables anything played in response to you trying to do something you can't.

That's already unticked. If this is a bug I wonder what caused it... grrr

Just to be 100% sure I just went in to a game and double checked and it is definately that option (I couldn't get a "We require more mineralssss"). Seems like an awful bug.

I usually prefer to have that boxed ticked, just because sometimes I don't notice that I'm supply blocked... yes I know it's terrible but the voice helps.

I agree completey, and I'd never turn it off myself, but having the option to is good.

I'd turn off the 'Not enough minerals' sound, but not the 'Build more supply depots' sound. They should make an option for that
