We are on the same time zone

We are on the same time zone as Brits o_O

Anyway, to participate you need to check-in (Where you signed up) between 6:30 and 7PM.

Doubt I'll make it home from Uni in time, so good luck!

Knocked out by Gomas. Definitely learned a lot from the games that I'll take into my own games (: (Note: he'll probably be top 4 in the Tournament)

UnholyGregor

yeah im in the ro8, 1st game i rolled a bronze league noob
2nd game, high masters terran, i won 1st by miles, he won 2nd, close though, and i won 3rd, was like an hour long game on meta, was sooo close, epic game.

Now im playing a grandmaster protoss, and the last irishman alive and im down 0-1.
if your interested in reps let me know, theyre being streamed and casted i think

ps im epimetheus, just incase the boards name confuses yous

Update: lost 0-2 to biohazard, pretty good games though. Ah well, at least i was last irishman standing noobs!

Just watched your game, pretty solid play from both sides. I think your initial attack was pretty useless though, as you didnt commit at all with it. If you invest that much money into an army that early in the game, and dont do serious damage, it leaves you pretty far behind.

You did expo behind it which was good, and you hit 200 supply when the protoss was at only 150-160 supply. But for some reason, you sat there with your maxed army, and waited til the toss had nearly 200/200.

If your army is maxed, why not attack? why wait for your opponent to catch up? If you're ahead, take advantage of it. asibe from this, i think you had too many thors, as feedback and immortals really chew them up now...

More bio, medivacs, and some EMPs would have been great on those ht's.

Basically only 2 major flaws I seen that game, you didnt do damage early, yet you invested into a big army; and your army was bigger than your opponents, and you didnt take advantage of this, you waited for him to tailer his comp to beat yours. (ht and zealot/immortal... get ghosts!)

Orizio

Yeah I saw the DTs and kind of held back for a bit to put up turrets etc and that just delayed me. I didn't want to attack early on, just wanted to delay his expansion, going up the ramp is a good way to die with that army. Maybe I shouldn't up like that but its pretty safe.

Thanks for the advice.
