Yes!, I should be free sometime tonight.
Morgan - 587
Awesome, I'll add both of you, I'm just about to go on now but if I'm too late I'm Electrolyte:580 to feel free to add me and maybe we could have a 3v3 or 4v4 some other time.I'll play some monobattles/4v4s tonight. Skillmister - .689
hit me up from like 9ish onwards
'A few weeks ago, Day9 challenged his viewership to play some 3v3 or 4v4 team games where each player announces a single unit just as the game starts. For the rest of the game, each player can only build the unit they selected as well as workers, overlords, overseers and observers. It's that simple! Go ahead and try to find the best combination of units for your team. Have fun!
Some other special rules: Zerg cannot have more Queens than Hatcheries, including Hatcheries under construction, unless they have selected the Queen as their unit. For certain selections that require a morphing unit (ie. Baneling, Brood Lord and Archon), the "pre-unit" (Zerglings, Corruptors and Templar respectively) cannot attack or use abilities. There are no restriction on buildings or upgrades. Computer players will not have any restrictions and will play normally.'
It can be fun if you get some good unit combo's.
If anyone is up for any 1v1/team games up up for it today
Ranked 3rd in my league for 4v4 (Bronze though
) So need to get some game time in on 4v4 so I can get promoted, mate just got promoted from silver straight to platinum!
Edit: Doh, forgot to add: Shayper 921

11 losses in a row last night, it would have been more but SWAMBO pulled the plug cos it was way too late to be up.
Not bad for a nights work, not nearly as good as my PB though, 25 losses!
Surely nobody can top that impressive piece of rank ruining.

Yes, I know the vicious cycle loss after loss does 
About a dozen is my max, months ago that was. Usually stop at 5 or so, as I just have to realise and come back to it later with a clear head. It's like a little war to make-up for them, but I always do

BNET also makes it easier for you after you lose 5+ in a row, not wanting to diminish your bouncing back achievement!
Had a 7 streak loss the other day which I'm blaming on using my dad's old computer and mouse when I was home for the weekend
By the way, patch 1.3 incoming on Wednesday, then the ladders are being locked so no promos/demotions for a couple of weeks.

Haha, true
Huh, haven't kept up with news lately. Are they including the ladder wipe in this one? Obviously we'll still have our MMR.

Yeah, this weeks maintenance will stop any promotions happening, and stops bonus pool increasing (so that people who play less can get closer to where they "should" be point wise)
Then next weeks maintenance will have a ladder reset, with end of season rewards given out. After the reset you'll have one placement match (I assume this is just to get rid of inactive accounts from the ladder) and you'll be put into a league that matches your MMR (so generally the same league you were in previously).

you get rewards to show how well you did in the last season. Besides, if you're good, you're good - and shouldnt struggle to get back
It only wipes ladder for a new season. You keep your hidden MMR rating so nothing will really change. Also divisions / leagues dont really mean much.

Your rank within the league has no effect on your promotion. I jumped from like rank 13 gold to 21 platinum.
1.3.0 is here, some nice changes

Couple of points about 1.3
Archon Toilet still works. If used against Mutas it basically means the archons lose out on 1 hit, however they can still do a hell of a lot of damage even if the mutas are kited away instantly. Other units aren't really fast enough for the 1.5 seconds (really less than 1 real second) to make any difference.
Chargelots will still never get a hit on stimmed marauders with conc. shell, however the change does effect stim marine kiting.

Is it bad that I play this game regularly and still have little to no idea of what you just said?
Last night was good everyone, more of the same tonight?
