unless i get a link proving when the ipl games were played, im going on the belief that the games were played pre buff, as i have no reason to believe what i heard on state of the game was wrong.
oh and zergisop, the effort you put into making that picture is really sad. your name is irony incarnate, and reported for abuse

zergisop

The picture is 100% accurate, is it not? Speaking of irony, you reporting me for abuse. <snip>

Old_Farmer_Digging_a_Hole_Royalty_Free_Clipart_Picture_081231-013773-998042.jpgThis is all I feel you are achieving with your moronic posts.
Im very sorry you have to live on the same earth as me my friend, it must be horrible having to read posts on a sc2 forum from somebody whos opinion differs from your own....

edit: just noticed you only have 2posts. either your first time posting, has just made you look like an idiot, or you made a smurf account for your little rants, which, if true, is incredibly sad.

zergisop 1 month ban.

UnholyGregor, thank you for reporting this.
However, I will also not tolerate you encouraging people to rage against you and thus them getting a ban.
You have been warned for this before, and this is your last chance.

keep it civil and cut the shit

here is link for the IPL Season 2 Qualifier #1(ie the first qualifier) Round of 128, IE before the actual IPL2 even started, casted on July

sixjaxMajOr vs EmpireNerchio

at 13 mins into the VOD you can see the fungal.


Patch 1.3 which is the patch we are refereeing to was released in March 22nd.

The finals of IPL season 1 was aired on the 30th of April a whole month after the patch.

So you really are trying to say that IPL2 was played before the IPL season 1 was even shown to the public.

Thanks rm, not trying to stir **** up deliberately, if im wrong about the ipl games thats fine by me, but making a smurf account just to flame is ridiculous

Edit: thanks for the link, thats all i asked for, but i cant see why idra would lie on state of the game, i mean, sure he has a big ego, but it seems kind of strange...

what type of a response do you think that person would have made if i had not banned them? next time, just report the post and dont waste your time or my time replying to it.

Going to get this thread back on track.

Lately I've been catching some player streams (because at work they moved my desk where my current ethernet port doesn't have every site under the sun blocked).

As I play Protoss I've been watching some Whitera, Huk and SaSe mainly. And SaSe is my new current hero. He's top 50ish on Korean GM (Higher than Huk who is top 3 in Master).

SaSe plays really long and interesting games. The only games under 20min are the ones that he loses (in general) and he has plenty of epic late games. So enjoyable. I'm not one to study build orders or anything like that but his play just seems so solid.

I recommend you check it out. And I hope it's not just been "a good week" for him.

All ex-WC3 pros have great streams :>

I prefer to read that as "All Swede pros have great streams" :P

I didn't care for pro gaming til SC2 came along. I was going to troll and be like "what's world cup 3?" or something but decided against it :P

I've been watching streams without sound at work so I've no idea if they talk while playing or not.

Final note on SaSe's stream: surprisingly few add breaks, if any.

How rude, lol

CombatEx would be on the top of my favorite players list Hate all you want, the guy has some serious talent and he is hugely entertaining. I like how he mixes up his games cheesing a good 50% so opponents never know what style they are going to be playing against causing them to play very safe and not able to cut corners.
Being the BM master, he still has the utmost respect for other higher skilled players which sets him apart from other BM players like deezer etc.
huge props to CombatEz

Well considering I dislike Destiny because he is bm... this guy? Not a chance. I listened to his stream for about a minute and he starts screaming at his opponents. He is what is wrong with esports and the internet in general.

ROFL who was that guy? He's the best troll around, he even outclasses that Greg guy.

CluEleSs!?

Favourite:
Protoss - Tyler (so mechanically solid, and generally talented. UL in tourneys imo)
Terran - Puma/MMA (So sick to watch. I love NaDa too though :< )
Zerg - IdrA (FPVods/stream of him are sick to watch, he also doesn't try and crawl back into stupid games. Ladder players need to learn GG timing off him dammit!)

Least favourite:
Protoss - InControL or Desrow (both fat, mouthy & **** at sc)
Terran - Maybe GoOdy? he's just dull. There's no Terran player I really hate!
Zerg - July. Imo overrated.

I also noticed all my least favourites are fat hahaha. Ah well =p

I totally forgot Dragon from my list! I love that guy :'D best stream on TL!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

combatex or deezer was stream sniping and stream watching dragon one day, and when dragon beat him he got out of his chair and did a roundhouse kick

Orizio

My favourite Dragon moment is when someone writes 'DOKDO IS JAPANESE LAND' in chat. Dragon reads it, then slowly looks up, eyes and mouth wide open in mock consternation before shouting 'YOU BAN', pointing sharply at his viewers. The troll is then banned and Dragon proceeds to giggle away to himself in delight. :pac:

Also, when he writes 'I chobo english' in chat when people are trying to explain something to him.

Some bias but my favourite is EG Demuslim. Old friend of mine back through Warcraft 3 and unfortunately always sat in the shadow of the likes of ToD and Grubby with 4kings,

The only gamer that actually made an effort with site journalists ( unbelievable bad manners from most, even though all under the same banner)

Thrilled to see hes doing so well and enjoy watching his stream


In terms of dislike, not too hot on Idra. I can't stand bad manner sin games, and I remember writing an article years ago about how e-sports will never progress without the players being more mature, camera friendly, articulate and mannerly.

Unfortunately Idra represents everything I feel hinders e-sports, so I cant ever root for him, unfortunate considering his talent.

But watching his stream, looking at his fans type you can see the sort of attitude he promotes.

Lafortezza

Agree about DeMuslim, his stream is great for Terran players as he talks alot about his builds and explains his play.
Pretty funny too, his stream watchers were getting him to say "Crikey!" and "Cockles" and stuff.

Nuxy

My favorite players are probly SlayerS_Dragon and dSelEcT, two amazing terran players..

Oh an demuslim is a boss to

I don't watch alot of SC2 but I like to watch some of my favourite pro gamers from older games when they stream/have a big match.

From WC3: Grubby, ToD, Demu, Moon, Lyn, Sase, Stephano

BW: Boxer, Nony, Ret, July, wannabecool

DoW: Select

My fav would probably be incontrol maybe not for his style of play but for his personality and zest for the game . He hasn't been doing well lately tho and
Im not so sure he has the talent to recreate his earlier successes . Also have a liking for demuslim and duckload.

Least fav like many is idra for his bm but also his arrogance. Whenever he is on state of the game it's like he owns the place and his word is gospel. Another special mention goes to combatX , Christ that guy just never stops ranting/smack talking. Also I suppose you could add the stream cheating too.
