the past few days have been filled with Starcraftiness!
First, as usual I will talk about how I have been doing on the ladder. Things are going pretty well, I finally learned how to stop early aggression from toss, which usually wins me the game. I finally got transitions down also, so I don't always stick to roach/ling muta, but can now switch to infestor/broodlord kind of stuff, which is a HUGE step for me.
My ZvT is still lacking, but I blame that on the fact that there is like 2 terran in silver overall. When I do play a terran, its usually an all-in from them, which I stop and win. If its a macro game, I do really well until I should transition, which is something I REALLY need to work on for ZvT. I end up getting ultras at like the 45 minute mark if it lasts that long, and thats like the only time I get tier 3, which is definitely NOT good.
ZvZ is also good. I usually end it very early, and if not, then I win it mid-game.
Now for the most exciting thing to have happened to me. Not really, but I was so excited when it happened. I decided to play MacroMicro. I went in, and immediately recognized the name GoSu. I was like, maybe its an imposter? A few days ago I faced an IdrA imposter on the ladder, and an MC imposter in custom games, so I was like, I'l just check the league to see how good the imposter really is, and see that he is rank 28 in Grandmaster. So it WASN'T an imposter! The name was GoSupokebuni. I didn't recognize the Pokebuni part, so I was confused. He told me while we were playing he is only a semi pro, getting money from coaching and streaming. I ended up being micro twice, while he was macro. We were protoss, and I embarrassed myself so bad in front of him. We lost, and I was disappointed. I'm sure he wasn't happy, but he was a friendly guy. I just hope he doesn't wish he never played with me! D: But hey, I can say I played with a grandmaster! :D:D:D

I decided to play MacroMicro Best custom game :D It's like a 2v2 with 1v1 skill levels. Isn't pokebunny a user on tl? :D
|
I don't know, I hope he doesn't mind me making a thread about him though XD
|
Sup. Was fun :3 obviously a bit frustrating but no hate <3
|
omg you are a user on TL! :D This has been the highlight of 2012 so far. I want to thank you! :D
|
Yeah, I've been on TL forever ^^
|
Oh nice this exists? I always wished sc2 had team melee setting like broodwar had where multiple people could control the same stuff.
Used to be so fun to start with 1 of every worker and throwing 800/800 supply armies at each other because there apparently was no supply limit.
|
My friend forced me onto Teamliquid. I only just recently became active on it though.
|
I loved those in Broodwar. XD
|
I call shenanigans, pokebunny would never play a custom. Hes a very srs man.

Essential TL reading.
Although I haven't looked at this page for ages and forgot about this bit, sorry Poke:
Despite strong performances in team leagues and tournaments, Pokebunny has become infamous for giving away advantages by suiciding his units into Siege Tanks in TvT or Banelings TvZ, as well as walking his entire army out of visually empty bases at points of absolute strength - colloquially referred to as "pulling a Pokebunny".

Haha oh well. He would still destroy me in a 1v1 XD
|
Is that game new? I just played it with my friends and it is AWESOME lol
|
Its been around for a while I think. I agree, it is so much fun lol. It made me realize my micro isn't bad because I focus on macro, its bad just because its bad. XD
