I keep reading/hearing from Pro Korean Terrans in the GSL that the maps are favoring T less and less now. Is it because the maps are becoming larger or is there another reason?

Yes you can; my two younger brothers watch streams on their iphones all the time. They even have notifications sent to them when their favorite players come online!

Happy 2K post

good to know; I tried watching streams on TL and it didn't work, I'll try twitch.tv directly

and thanks! didn't even realize, damn o_O it's been about 1.5 years since I joined I think.

Yes, larger maps mean you can't really put on pressure without it being all in since it'll be hard to defend any counter attacks. Drops should be more effective on the bigger maps, but we'll have to see.

If you're facing 70% master level players, then yes. Before I was promoted, I was facing nearly all masters and I was stomping them.

They've been saying that for awhile. Ever since Tal'darim Altar came out. If you aren't the best Terran in the world you basically can't ever move out of your base on the larger maps against a more mobile force.
I am Terranfying.

Yea Twitch/Justin Tv have 2 apps one for all justin.tv videos and one for just gaming (twitch). Both can found in itunes app store. As for content, try out SOTG (state of the game) or Inside the game with DjWheat. Both there are also a lot less popular shows out there, those are mainly informational about sc2 scene/entertaining. If you want to learn maybe check out day9 dailys !

Yeah right now I'm playing masters almost every game. But the problem is now that I'm afraid of going on a losing streak before the next season and then I'll be placed into diamond lmao.

Just a random thought while looking at the new map pool for season 5:

I think The Shattered Temple would be a much better map if they simply removed the rocks at the gold base and changed it to a normal blue base.

Can anyone point me to a specific TvT gasless (or maybe 1 gas?) fast expand into bio build? I think I have seen Demuslim use such build order but I am not sure exactly what it is.

Any 1rax, reaper expand, etc opens with a baracks. Afterwards, get 2 more rax while the CC is building. The rest (gas timing, additional rax) depends on style.
Zerg lategame is imbalanced as shit. Also: "Protoss is really strong recently. Perhaps, it's time for there to be some changes for Terran." -MMA. Even MMA asks for buffs. Srsly Blizzard. Srsly.

1 Rax FE is the thing right now in Masters. Just FE in your natural, 2 additional Rax, Shield first. Mind the Reapers and possible Banshees and 1-1-1 all-ins.

I agree with the inclination that PvZ needs something because it seems pros and myself are getting picked apart on ladder with Mutas. This being said, storms are extremely effective.

Pretty much, especially against Zerg. Drops get shut down easily by Mutas/Overlord spread and a ton of spines at every expansion. TvZ on Tal'Darim is absolutely frightening unless you're a Korean pro.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I find TvP can be quite frightening too considering late late game you can't make it across the map before templar get storms if they get warped in as reinforcements. Not only that but if you get a mildly bad trade warpgates let them just roll over you.

TalDarim is really a freak map for me. Im so afraid to be out in the open on that map
