It's the exact same thing that got him in trouble the first time. He didn't deserve to lose his job for raging at some random player. Everyone did a kneejerk reaction and went "OH NO HE SAID NIGGER, GET THAT DAMNED RACIST."
My point is it's hypocritical to come to his defense now if you didn't stand by him the first time. Orb was unjustly wronged.
People are honestly too sensitive about the use of words. Would he have been fired for calling someone a retard or a faggot? They're all derogatory words to some group of people, so why raise one's 'offensive value' above the other?
I supported him the first time round around....I agree with you entirely. And on top of that I don't feel someone should be always mindful of things they say or do because 1 day in a years time you might get a job that puts in the public eye.

Personally, what annoys me about orb is that he goes around on his PR appearances talking about how he's genuinely sorry about what he said, how he's going to use it to "make himself a better person" and he learned so much from the experience etc. which is all obviously insincere. It is just a canned speech of things he thinks producers want to hear so they might consider using him as a commentator again. Plus when he comes out and claims someone else did it on his account, etc. he must think people are f'n retarded to believe that obvious of a lie. And he still stands by it, rather than just admitting that he lied because he was scared, desperate and didn't want to lose his job. How he handled the whole situation was so transparent and childish that I can't bring myself to feel any pity for him whatsoever. Assuming that orb was actually the person in these screenshots, it just goes to show how insincere his post-incident interviews were.
Edit: Confirmed, yes it was him that typed it, he was streaming at the time. http://www.twitch.tv/orbtl/b/313246582 (skip ahead to 23:00 mins) I realize that the cancer comment he was just trying to be funny, but if he ever wants a serious job he is going to have to grow up. There are lots of commentators out there and I don't think sponsors or teams want someone that is a potential PR liability. And people are obviously looking for every opportunity to troll him, so he should try to be smarter about it.
Hey, everybody. Its my first post ^^ Noob question, but cant stop wondering about it: i've seen in every stream that the player switch from the game window to any other window (for example stream chat) really quickly. can i ask how come in my pc i takes so long for the game to load again? has it something to do with the graphiccard? thx!

Simple fix, when you start up the game it is default in fullscreen mode. If you want to be able to switch quickly you hit escape, push options, then under graphics you can change it from Fullscreen to Windowed (fullscreen). or just Windowed. In windowed modes, you can switch windows much faster.
I'm pretty sure that most of the |||||||||||||| names are for smurfs, and there are so many of them so even if you know that someone has a smurf named |||||||||||||, you dont know who is actually playing.

it's so that koreans can practice build orders they are preparing for matches in the GSL without their upcoming opponents knowing who they are.
Stop the presses, I just saw Kas destroy the Automaton 2000 by spamming leftclick on it (on Antiga Shipyard). Probably works on all those neutral units on the map. I tested it briefly myself and it worked. Didn't count the required number of clicks, probably around 20 or something.
Who is the smartest protoss around? I mean not the most successful or macro/micro god. Smart. As in decision making and reaction time and stuff. Doesnt matter if he/she has won anything or not. (Must be a good progamer though!)
Also, one more simple question. PvT 1 gate expand, I find it very useful (after watchin a lot of progames) to not have a pylon near your natural till 1-2 warp ins from your eventual 3 gate since a bio rush gets you supply blocked and is very hard to stop if you do have a pylon. My question was, Is it a good idea to not tranfer probes too atleast for sometime specially if u are expecting some bio units to come? I dont know if I said it right but I hope you get it.

You don't gain any benefits for mining from 2 bases until one of them is completely saturated with 16 on minerals. So if you don't want to put any on the expo right away, no real harm. Just remember to transfer them later when the main does start to get saturated. The benefit of the additional base is of course quicker harvester production and faster saturation of the base(s).
Hi, first time poster long time lurker. I wanted to post some feedback I have on the my thoughts on the current state of broadcasts and such. I've looked at other threads and this was the closest thing I could find. I would have made my own thread but I did not realise there was a 3 day lock on new accounts, so I'd like to apologise. Sometimes the link bugs out I don't know why. Also, sometimes the words or pages blur out, don't worry just zoom in and zoom out that should fix things.

You mean best for you to study from?
It depends really how you classify, there's those who use same standard safe BO which works for ladder and some opponents or there is these that study their opponents and snipe them hard and metagame them etc. But I for study I would choose PartinG, most of his stuff he does ingame makes sense. I think Genius is one protoss to study as well, but he doesnt stream or particpate in any tournaments except GSL so all you will get from him is GSL VODs.

I see most good Protoss getting a lot of early sentries (great for splitting roaches/ ff ramps) when attacking, they can be used defensively pretty well to ff in front of your buildings. Assuming you have 1-2 cannons up as well bling bust shouldn't be able to get near you before you can get more stalkers or w/e to snipe the blings down. Would require pretty good and consistent ff's so EARLY sentries, map depending get as many as poss.
I'm sure someone will prob come up with some inventive new way to defend it and basically crap all over me, but this should work
Has anyone noticed that APM in the game, while watching replays at least, are actually measuring EPM. And EPM are measuring APM? Or am I totally mistaken? Just did some tests, while spamming my hatch my EPM goes up to ~300, APM is at 0. Hm.
