So apparently I'm a jerk for not waiting for the other player to be ready. This in upper Gold league

I once got a nosebleed in a 2v2 match. Told them "brb nose bleed getting tissue" and paused it

They unpaused it. My partner used his 3 pauses and they unpaused it immediately every time.

It later felt good to completely crush them, after sticking tissue up my nose.

I just tore down his base and he surrendered 30 seconds later :biggrin:

Nah I'm not that kind of jerk, I always wait for people who pauses. This guy told me to wait after I broke through his defenses about 10 minutes into the game, lol.

In another note, I got to rank #3 in my league and have been playing against platinum players for the last day and a half. I'm losing much more games than I'm used to, but the wins are so more satisfying. I just beat a protoss who had the upper hand in the game but my micro and strategy saved me and my counterattack pwnzored. I'm stoked

constant battles between Marine & Medivacs versus Banelings / Zerglings / Mutalisks. Terran pulls off constant insane marine micro positioning to battle banelings.

I tried logging in using my FB account, it wouldn't let me continue without giving it permission to post on my wall. No thanks.

 

[JTsyo]

Who are the players? Maybe it's on Youtube.

 

[Train]

I registerd on the site to watch it, pretty amazing match, the Terran player had AMAZING micro with marines.

He pretty much had a steady supply of marines, backed with medivacs, with the occasional tank thrown in.

That was the first of a 5 game series. Would have loved to watch the rest. The site said I had to buy a "season ticket" or some crap to watch the rest. Lame.

 

[FYIImaSpy]

I actually paid for the season ticket. Some matches are very one sided, but some were amazing matches.
SlayersBoxer is playing tomorrow morning, and I'm going to wake up early to watch.

I'm being matched against Platinum players now. I've lost like 12 of the last 15

lol, I still haven't finished my placement matches... I'm 4 for 4 so far, so #5 is extra fucking scary. 1v1 is so damn intense. Like I don't really care if I win/lose, but ooof it's intense; facing off w/someone 1 on 1 always gets my adrenaline going, no matter what the game is (even chess, lolz). Even in custom games where I *know* I'll win, I feel the anxiety.

<---big pansy, apparently :/

Yup, I'm the same way. I could care less, but yet I start to sweat when my army finally moves out into the unknown.

my army never moves into the unknown. Scout/scan like crazy.

 

[JTsyo]

yea there;s where the hellions come in.

 

[JTsyo]

Is there a way to share replays on bent or do you have download it and share it? How about a way to watch a replay together on bnet? It would be a nice feature, have the replay the host controls it rest are observers.

 

[Train]

Man I must be in a crappy league (Bronze "X-Ray", whatever that means)

In the last 2 days: Got photon cannon rushed 3 times, got worker rushed twice.

Total waste of time IMO, ruins the game. I guess a photon cannon rush is legit, though it sucks if you get caught by one. All-out worker rush at the very start of the game is just retarded though.

 

[DrunkenSano]

I usually just relocate if I get photon cannon rushed or planetary fortress rushed, then out macro them and win. I don't see how a worker rush can win though? Wouldn't you have more workers than he does?

It only works on small maps. Blistering sands I lost, he got the upper hand by catching me off guard with it. Trying to move command center didnt work, as his workers can reach any place on the map I try to land.

The other guy tried it on Scrap station, I just moved to the island, built up marines until I got medivac, dropped them on his base and won easily.

Sorry but you have to be really bad to lose to a worker rush. I'm pretty bad, and if I can beat it, anyone should.

I shat myself at least 3 times when I watched that game live.

My mouth was open in constant amazement.

Not as easy as you think. Note that workers do not attack or defend themselves automatically, they just keep harvesting. Even if he picks off just 1 before you have your workers go into attack mode, the simple majority means he wins. And if there is nowhere to move your CC to (like on blistering sands), you are screwed.
