I have returned: StarCraft II

[Bweigelt]

Yeah they really messed up bnet with this patch.

Also huge news that IGN is making an SC2 Proleague, I'm not sure if it's a team league like the Korean Proleague or an individual thing but the rumored prizepool is 150-200k.

The best thing about being bronze in 1v1 is pulling off some crazy shit. Was fighting a terran and did a fail nydus but he forgot to kill the worm. So I brought in a queen and dropped a tumor. He kills the worm and I spread creep. By the time I beat him I have creep all over his base.

[MisterBob]

High end ladder is seeing a lot of infestor play. They are incredibly annoying now.

Verdict: Buffed.

[SubzeroDiabolos]

What's a terran's best chance? Ghost EMP?

[Misuicide]

ya probably. I don't think you encounter much infesters in silver/gold, but you might

[synistar]

2 snipes or an end around with nitro reapers or banshees? Basically something that isn't a deathball? I dunno. Just have to try something different now.

You probly fought a very low end bronze player... I mean even the worst of them out there knows that if the opponent sees your base all the time it's bad. ~.~

[Not Kuno]

Holy fuck I played vs a zerg named IdrA. I don't know if it was really him but

Spoiler: show

Saying I got raped was an understatement. I had every orifice fucked at the same time

[Maguspk]

Upload replay, probably wasn't him he would have no business getting matched against Bronze league.

[Maguspk]

Probably not IdrA, his APM was way too low and IdrA's actual ID is EGIdrA or something similar.

[Julian]

Idra's account name is EGIdrA, and I'm pretty damn sure he wouldn't waste his time with 2v2's, lol

[Not Kuno]

Yeah I didn't think it was him. He was gold/plat across the board.

[Misuicide]

I know a lot of you guys don't like husky, but relevant

[Salodin]

why the hate on husky?

[SubzeroDiabolos]

I don't hate him, I just find his "H to the usky Husky here" fucking annoying to hear every fucking time.

[MisterBob]

He's also a really mediocre player, and doesn't have great game sense

[Maguspk]

Husky is terrible, he will almost always call someone the winner of an engagement incorrectly and backtrack and say 'oh my bad lol looks like terran will win didn't notice seiged tanks'

He is casting TSL right now and his voice just angers me, he has this fucking voice that you can tell he is just cycling through cached phrases and responses it makes him unbearable to listen to. I can't explain it well but his commentary is fucking dull, I'm sure casuals don't notice it and just enjoy his high energy but it annoys me to no end.

[Salodin]

His energy makes it enjoyable for me. Every other caster except day 9 bores me to death and makes me wake up 3 hours later going "Wtf just happened?". Casting is as much about energy as it is knowing wtf you're talking about, and husky does decently well with both imo. Also, from all the casts I've seen from him, he hasn't gotten a prediction wrong, so idk.

[Misuicide]

He got one prediction wrong today in the TSL with Nestea against Goody, but that was a really close game anyway, it could have swam either way. He doesn't really call them often, but ya, i watch him for entertainment, not strategy. He gives ok pointers sometimes, but really its best to watch Day9 for that stuff.

[Thunder]

Getting predictions wrong isn't that awful. Day9 does it all the time. What husky does incorrectly is throwing in his 2 cents about the strategies. I got angry he was on air when he said Goody should consider not going mech vs nestea on xel'naga since it failed on shakuras(when mech's best played on xel'naga). Also, in Ret vs Naniwa he kept on saying how ret is overdroning. He wasn't. Toss went forge FE and so instead of going for an all-in bust ret double expanded himself. When naniwa moved out with 4gate robo ret had the same amount of drones as he had probes.

He's just a tasteless with even LESS game knowledge who tries so hard to cover both the exciting role AND the analytical role in a caster. And to be blunt, he's too stupid to be analytical.
