White-Ra lost to IntoTheRainBOw last night

That proxy gateway cheese was very interesting, but White-ra screwed it up. had he managed hide that probe, or add stalkers sooner, he might have taken that game.

7/22/2010 1:46:22 PM

Yeah I dont know why he just ran the probe down into ITTR's workers. Mis-click maybe.

How are the Razer mice? Worth the $? Any of them recommended over others?

All I know is that Day9 is in love with them. I use a laptop so I prefer a bluetooth mouse for ease of use so I haven't really looked into them.

7/22/2010 2:11:43 PM

It's a whole different replay listening to Day9 commentate. It's great since I only played SC1 off and on, so it's nice to be told what's going on

7/22/2010 2:24:45 PM

I've been using a razer imperator for awhile now, had to crank it up to full 5600 DPI for it to work for me though.

7/22/2010 4:03:15 PM

tester is an amazing player. if you want to watch a good game do NOT miss that game 2 of tester vs. TLO

7/23/2010 3:41:37 AM

^Word, I'll have to check out Tester.

I watched the TLO vs Nazgul and thought TLO was hilarious and very impressive. I like that he plays random, but some of his strategies seem immature and don't pan out that well. Some of his opening plays seemed to cost him a lot of momentum in some games. White-ra seems to play like a bitch a lot of the time, haha

7/23/2010 8:02:15 AM

There are no 'bitch' strategies, just strategies that work.

The only bitch, so far as I've seen, is iDrA

7/23/2010 9:20:22 AM

^^ Those games are older. TLO used to play random, but he decided to stick with terran for now. I'm not crazy about white-ra's early void ray he gets in almost every game.

7/23/2010 10:09:55 AM

4 more days until my social life goes on the back burner.

7/23/2010 11:14:06 AM

4 more days until i delete everyone off my REAL ID friends list

7/23/2010 11:15:34 AM

Just finished watching last nights king of the beta casts.

I have decided my new race color is going to be white instead of green.

7/23/2010 1:04:16 PM

god damn it there are too many games.....

7/23/2010 1:08:46 PM

will i be able to buy this game electronically?

7/23/2010 1:39:42 PM

yea. you can download it now and get they key direct from blizz on release day

7/23/2010 1:40:53 PM

I think there is a delay though. I don't think the key will unlock right at midnight.

7/23/2010 2:06:17 PM

Is day9 being weird for anyone? I'm trying to watch some replays and whenever I click on the position bar the video locks up and won't play anymore

7/23/2010 3:55:09 PM

^ yeah that's been happening to me with other videos on youtube, not just day 9

7/23/2010 4:19:11 PM

^^where are you watching him?

7/23/2010 4:25:38 PM

use day9tv.blip.com

7/23/2010 4:26:03 PM

Does anyone else feel like Zerg is the weakest of the races right now? I've been watching a bunch of the day9 videos and I don't feel like I've seen but maybe one or two matches where the Zerg player was in any position to win.

7/23/2010 6:02:18 PM

Zerg's probably the weakest though it's fairly balanced. It seems like they almost have to power to win. There are a few armies that can be tricky to deal with (banglings and speedlings, muta and speedlings vs. protoss, etc.) but overall I think it's easier to win with protoss or terran. It's harder to power when protoss can 2 gate or 4 gate and put a TON of pressure on you, and terran's mechplay is almost OP against Zerg

7/23/2010 6:10:16 PM

Zerg isn't that weak. It just seems like it is more difficult to transition. A good zerg who expands and drone pumps at the right times can be downright scary.

The reason I couldn't play zerg is that you have to have a really good feel of the game.....when you have enough banelings for a bust, how adequate is your defense for drone pump, anticipating anti-air without overcommitting, etc.

It's kind of weird that zerg now has the weakest early game harass but players will adapt. Late game zerg is nothing to fuck with.

7/23/2010 6:36:31 PM

I play zerg because honestly I like its macro the most; centralized on hatcheries. The battles can be annoying. I don't think zerg is underpowered so much, I just think they require more focus and more apm. Its honestly the worst race for 1a2a3a. Must constantly scout and know what the enemy is doing or you die now or later. If you don't take advantage of a window for powering then you will just die later, and if you power at the wrong time you die then.

7/23/2010 9:26:46 PM

I agree with the above. I really love just how you can pester opponents with mutas while building a huge force that will eventually spell doom for your opponent!

7/24/2010 12:51:38 AM

I really wish TLO had beaten Irda last night.

I'm also really surprised that IntoTheRainBOw lost to QXC. Tester is gonna win it all though, calling that now. He's just too good.

7/24/2010 3:43:04 PM

Got my text from gamestop today saying my SC2 is there waiting for me =)

7/25/2010 5:24:12 PM

$64.00 for Starcraft II. Really Blizz?

7/25/2010 6:14:58 PM

What do you think is an appropriate price?

7/25/2010 6:33:28 PM

^^^ As did I. Getting excited!

7/25/2010 6:35:46 PM

inflation motherfuckers

7/25/2010 6:58:16 PM

Well butter my fucking biscuit.

7/26/2010 12:51:12 AM

Yeah I feel TLO was just using some jank strategies against Idra. Despite my high liking for his craziness, I found myself rooting for Idra since he was playing Zerg

7/26/2010 5:36:00 AM

Since I didnt preorder this what should I expect my chances are of picking a copy of this up tomorrow. I doubt I'll be trying to pull any midnight buying, but if so anyone in Cary that people know of gonna be open for midnight sales? I get a day off work sometime this week thinking this might be what I do on that day off haha

They're also confirming a ~ 40MB 0-day patch, not too bad!

7/26/2010 11:34:38 AM

how is best buy in Cary with regards to midnight releases? I have only done gamestop. Do they generally have enough stock for everyone present or should I show up way early to get a good spot in line?

7/26/2010 2:32:49 PM

Im planning on driving by both gamestop and best buy around midnight and if here is a line im just gonna keep on driving. I'd love to pick it up but I am not that desperate haha

7/26/2010 2:50:30 PM

There are a couple of 24 hour wal-marts close to my house, anybody know how those usually are?

7/26/2010 5:05:59 PM

I went to walmart for one of the WoW expansions, but I also chose the walmart over in knightdale because well... I didnt suspect many people who played WoW lived over in that area and I was correct maybe 10 people showed up at midnight

7/26/2010 5:26:05 PM

Gamestop in Cary still had preorders available as of a couple hours ago.

7/26/2010 5:50:02 PM
