That's Blizz forums for you, man. I remember the WoW General forums were like 4chan-lite back when I used to read them.

Zerg finally got a buff with the little patch today. Void Rays also got a bit of a nerf.

And thus, the Reaper rush has been neutered.

Yeah big time. It's a strange choice having the reapers require a factory. I understand them wanting to make it more difficult to get their upgrade, but why not require an engineering bay or something?

Well, I got reaper rushed 3 times and each time it was the most stupid thing ever.

It was really my fault for focusing on Marines and tanks...but it quickly ends matches.

Zergling rushes are a thing of the past and now so are reaper rushes. Good times.

How is the zergling rush a thing of the past? A 6 pool still exists, unless I missed something.

It seems useless, now. I haven't seen a zergling rush since the practice league.

It still happens from time to time. If you catch your opponent off guard it's a free win.

Some big tournaments happening lately. The MLG was entertaining with a lot of high end American players, and the Korean GSL is going on right now which is basically the biggest E-Sports tournament in the entire world from what I understand, attracting the best players from across the entire world.

This is how, a pro plays Starcraft.

Haha. I love it. There's actually someone who has like 10k games played and all he does is a worker rush each game. It's ridiculous. He's in bronze but doing it he actually wins like almost half of his games.

Anyways, here's a replay of me (as Terran) playing against my real life friend, who plays Protoss. Was a really fun game, lots of back and forth action and a pretty close game. We're both at about the same skill level.

I cannot view that website while at work.

*sigh*

🙁

I want to gage how good you are, Backfire, to see if it was even worth playing against you (for those readers who don't know, Backfire is awesome...like really good.) 😆

I'm really not. But I'll give you a blowjob later for saying so.

There is no way to play games among your pals with just one key right?

That's annoying 🙁

Whatever.

That's the one thing I never understood about the Non-Terran hate for bioballs. Banelings rip marines and marauders to shreds.

Banelings are bad against marauders.

But I think it's mostly protoss who have trouble with the bioball these days, and that's only early game before they can get a colossus or HT out. Zerg shouldn't have trouble against them. Banelings kill the marines, and zerglings kill the marauders.

Does anyone but me still play this game?

Anyways, new patch coming out today. The end of the first League season is coming up, and some new maps coming out with the patch.

I play it atm, though I'm rather noobish 🙂
