Yes, i did say HuK is more consistent because he has been placing top 5 in almost every MLG he did exceptionally well in DreamHack he also won two of the 6 MLG events. And he has a bad Placing at NASL which everyone knows and yes i did say hero is more consistent then MVP. Hero is by far one of the best protoss players in the world if not the best.
I can say this because he has been placing top in almost every single NASL along with Puma and Hero could of taken NASL Finals away from Puma if not for nerves like Russano said. But every player has a bad day or bad match and you cant blame them for doing bad no player is going to win every tournament.
@Banshee Okay MVP is consistent but HuK has beat almost every single korean player in so many tournaments he has entered he won DreamHack 2011 Spring, 2x MLG Winner, and i dont know which other events he has won but he has lots of titles under his belt.
@Keyboard Warrior Idra has kinda changed his play style more from macro play in a aggrestion build has he has been going roach,infestor, muta alot lately and that is what costed him at NASL against Puma is the aggrestion switch.
If anything, Huk is very inconsistent. Sure he won MLG, but he drops out of every other tournament like near the beginning to random players. His win rates aren't that strong either.

My buddy is ranked 11 on NA in Masters with 920 points and a record of 226 -214. I bet him that he wouldn't make master league on the KR ladder because the comp is much better in Korea. Has any other upper master level players tried playing on the Korean ladder and did you make it past diamond?

I was grandmaster level on the NA server season 2, high masters on the server season 3/4 (I stopped playing on the server which you'll find out in a second). I started the korean ladder in season 3 the day grandmaster became available to NA. I had to work all day so didn't get to ladder and missed GM. So played on korea and I got masters easily. I am mid-high masters on the server.
I don't know how high 920 points on NA ladder is now of days but if he's high masters on the NA ladder he should be able to get high diamond/low masters on korea. It really depends on how much latency he has and how much it affects him (me personally I get none).
Odds are though he will be stuck in diamond for a bit as I know a friend of mine who was about the same point range last season can't hit masters on korea as of yet.

Yah, one of my roommates plays is mid-master on the Korean server, and the level of competition is around slightly less than 1 league higher.

Why don't players pre-bane burrow expos instead of burrowing a ling to block? Seems like killing scvs > delaying an expo. Plus no one scans their own expo unless it's blocked?
|
It's just one of those things. Why, late game, do Zergs not get both drops and Nydus worms like mad? You have the gas and you could have swarm taktiks by dropping to establish and using a nydus to bring everybody in.
There's a lot of cute things that you can do in SC2. We don't see all of them nearly enough ^_^. Burrowing banelings in gold mineral lines are a personal favorite but one hinderence is a Terran will often build missile turrets as he's expanding.. revealing the banelings before the scvs get there.

How do you enter a bunker with an SCV (instead of repairing) when the bunker is damaged?
|
Click bunker click load click scv.

So. This seems like a good spot. Since it's definitely not worth a thread. I understand the matchmaking system is kind of wonky at times. But.
Why am I getting put against platinum players when I'm Silver? And why is it an even match? Is it likely my MMR is just going up since I'm mostly winning? Or is it distinctly possible Battlenet is just empty at the moment? :S

Did I hear something about Christmas price for SC2 NA is $20?? I am so sure there was a thread this morning when I checked as I was about to go to bed. Now it is gone, was it a hoax? : O

I am pretty sure this out of the general discussion but i'd like to get this clearified.(Spoiler for up/down) + Show Spoiler +Huk is out of Code S right?

I'm not sure if maybe you mixed it up with this, but on Black Friday Sc2 NA was $30. Black Friday is the day after the last Thursday of November (worded this way because sometimes it falls on Dec 1st I think). Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Oh noo, I thought it was Christmas related. But then I was so tired and did not read it fully. I would've bought another account or two if it was $30 : (

If you hold out, I'm sure there will be another discount in the future, possibly around christmas? At the very least, it should get less expensive when HotS looms.

Should probably just wait until HotS to come out, there might be a bundle deal.

The Christmas deal that is being mentioned is the EU version. It is 39.99 Euros, which amounts to ~53 USD.
