they just live far away, lol. Only few times they casted together, both were in SF (HD's home area). Only did a few "over the net" co-casts, and they had their issues (technical), in the end, they just... stopped, lol. I don't think there was any drama, not any the YT population would of known about at least. Maybe TL or others might, but I don't.

Ya they both are good. Have you heard HD cast with Painuser? That duo is pretty sick as well. Except when Painuser streams with his buds on TL those streams suck sweaty monkey balls. He should do more 1v1 rather than the 4v4 orgies they have.

explain.
are the +1, 2, 3 upgrades weaker for toss?

They don't give as much of a boost percentage wise.

Marines are a good example of insane upgrade scaling. 6 base dmg with +1 (+17%) dmg with every upgrade... combat shields, stim, etc.

1. very few terran go banshee, and if they do, it's for mineral line harass. by then you should have a forge/canons, and a robo later for mobile detection
if so, terran is almost at the same disadvantage, but worse since they have to tack on a useless tech lab on the starport. the scan is ok, but if you scatter your DT's, you can waste scans.

2. BC's are even more useless. they're expensive, slow to build and just as easily countered. yamato charge time is like 3 minutes. at least carriers have good DPS.
zerg by far has the best air units.

1. I'm not sure what league you are in, but the diamond/masters players I often face Terrans who open with the 1/1/1 build, which pretty much necessitates getting a robo for detection. If I spend my money on a forge and then canons behind my mineral line my army will simply be too weak to stop his marine/tank/banshee/raven push or even his marine/tank push.

Additionally, the tech lab on starport is far from a useless upgrade. Ravens are incredibly effective at negating all stalkers in a Protoss ball, and they can provide mobile detection if a Protoss decides to get tricky with DTs as you suggested.

If a Terran finds that I've gone for a forge/canon/safety from Banshee route he'll also have two more advantages: 1. map control (banshees) and 2. safety to expand. Additionally, after I get a canon, two banshees can very quickly kill that canon and then begin killing my mineral line. 3 banshees will do it even faster, and I'll be pinned in my base until I can get mobile detection.

2. BCs have a role in countering Terran mech armies. That being said, saying BCs are more broken than Carriers doesn't refute my point that Carriers need help. Carriers, the way they currently function and with their tech path, are simply not a viable option for Protoss. The one time I've ever seen them used in a pro game was MC vs Jinro and Jinro's vikings absolutely laid waste to them, despite carriers superior (in theory) range.
 
I've been playing on the TW/KR server for about a month now. Was low masters on the NA server and I ended up in platinum on the TW/KR server :eek: Now I'm finally playing Diamonds and hopefully will get promoted when the next season starts.

I can tell I've improved a ton though, the over all skill level is just so much higher and it's much more fun to play. Just need to stick with one race now.

HD is just bad. His knowledge is poor, I mean its decent enough, but compared other decent casters he's on the low end of knowledge, and he's not entertaining, he tries to be but its just awkward. He's got nothing going for him. I often feel bad for him because he does try at being a good caster, but he's not.

Husky is just entertaining. His knowledge is also on the lower end, but he's entertaining and thats enough. Day9 is good too... I like Day9 daily. Casting games I prefer Day9+Husky dual casts rather than Day9 alone... actually I don't think I've watch many games of him solo casting. I dunno if I could handle it, lol.

Over time I've become a PsyStarcraft fan. He's by far best. His knowledge, at least in Zerg matchups, is top notch, and he's also entertaining. I would really recommend anyone checking his stuff out.

I think order I watch stuff is:
Psy's videos
Husky videos
Day9 daily
HD and other crap I've subscribed to but don't like much... often I have a backlog of Day9 dailies so I rarely need to resort to watching this stuff.

Ugh, Day9, whenever I hear that nerd voice I want crawl up on the walls.

My lord..

They also tend to apply to more units than for Protoss. Terran and Zerg armies tend to be larger, numbers wise, while Protoss armies have more big units that get less "copies" of the upgrade.
 
Idra is a pretty good player. I don't like how he still cry's imbalance when he's torn apart every race when he's on top of his game.
 
the last engagement on 3rdmatch of mkp vs idra was so epic.

another great player to note is stc, hes plays have improve alot after ipl.
 
Looks like I've missed some good games today. TheStC's performance is truly remarkable.

Does anyone know if the games will be available for download?

You can watch it on the main page right now until the next day starts. http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/live/starcraft_2

Just seek anywhere on the player for different times of the day. MKP vs Idra starts at 10:04:00 on the Red stream.
 
Idra really is on fire this weekend. That was absolutely a crazy series with BoxeR. I agree with Artosis/Tasteless, you can only cheese so much before it fails. I'm laughing at the interview, too.
 
man day9 and husky are so noob. they keep focusing on how idra should be getting andrenal gland and how its free damage.... it costs 200/200 and isnt particularly useful when zergs are always gas starved making the crucial bling/mutas/infestors
 
I'm torn. I'd love to see Idra vs. Huk for the finals. But at the same time I love MC and want to see him win it all.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to see TheStC vs MC in the final. Idra is good, but I think he's done, especially since he's already down 0-1 against MC. And Huk.. he'll put up the fight, but I just don't see him going through.
 
Yall were right :( I've still got HuK to root for, at least for now.

Lol@Artosis re: a perfect combination of toss units - "it's basically like the X-men".

edit 2: HuK ftw!

mc is just not as good at micro as huk. that 4gate vs 4gate really showed it.
 
Huk is awesome. Its nice to see a non Korean actually pulling off some wins lol

Huks n3rd ego has got to be off the charts.
 
lolwut. He is in Code S and has been for a few seasons now.

Edit: Oh, you probably meant win. Yeah, he probably doesn't stand a chance :D
