You can't fall upwards :p.

Did not say that =P




I don't think he will, Korea has a very different approach to dealing with ailments and they're very spiritual about it. I think Mvp will quit progaming if he gets the proper surgery it requires.

He's said he'll quit if he gets surgery, afaik, as it's like 1-2 years recovery time. That's why I don't know whether to be happy (because he'll be in less pain) or sad (because he'll never play as a pro again) about it :).

Edit: Actually, reading one of his interviews (I dont know if it's the one people refer to when they say he said the above or not) he says "If I rest for three months and then come back, I might as well have retired" so I dunno if he's definitely decided he'll retire or what, or whether that's (3 months) how long he expects to be out for. Others are saying 1-2 years though (without sources) and saying he's said he'll retire if he has surgery (again, without sources).

Just watching MarineKing trying to avoid going down to Code A, big surprise if he does :(.

With regards to my gaming, I feel I'm getting better, especially taking on some of the advice from here :). Currently ranked 2nd in Bronze so hopefully can get to No.1 over the weekend, however I'm not particularly fussed if I get to Silver as I know that I still have a lot to improve on before I will be able to compete there.
 
Well I have come to the conclusion that my opinion about NA server being a lot easier is definitely correct. Started playing 1v1s on my CE account yesterday and hit Masters today. EZPZ
 
Anyone else feel that in 2v2 when your ally quits/dcs instantly on game start, you have an exceptional advantage? I was able to quickly make an 8 gate push when this just happened and absolutely destroyed 2 rushing diamond terrans who were mocking my plight. constant reinforcements of 8 stalker warp ins allowed me to attack on two fronts and push my way into their fortified base. I've seen the same thing happen in 3s were two guys would just funnel income into their team mate who would warp in like 12 stalkers at a time, controlled by one person feels incredibly overpowered.

Would love to play some more games were I had 2 bases at the start of the game. Anyone else played with a partner who've done this intentionally?

Your early game is boosted, yes, however mid and late game if you have not done any damage, you have lost before even trading blows as there is no way you can stand up against 2 players making pronged attacked and macro.

HUUUUUGE patch :) super excited about this. Changes include:

Complete new menu system
Clans and group support
Watch replays with friends and recover games
Much improved score screens
Full win loss stats for all leagues and for specific matchups
Speech, movie and text language options (finally)
Unranked ladder
Vastly improved custom game AI (you can choose to practice against specific strategies)
In game UI improvements
Customisable observer UI (for tournaments)
Many under the hood improvements and bug fixes
Global play coming soon

Its pretty much ticked off everything on my wish list for WOL (excluding balance issues). This'll make WOL a while lot more fun to play ^_^
 
LAN play?

But yes adding all the features from HOTS into WOL we've been missing

Finally got my beta access and sitting in plat. Not quite figured out these new units yet, well the Z and P ones anyway (so much for me switching race). Z used some swarm hosts or something on me and I had no idea how to stop it. Seemed like a hardened version of a brood lord. And P has this oracle thing that just wizzes around and kills all my scvs t.t.

Anyone else playing the beta? I can't find any builds anywhere, other than the 1-1-1 into hellion or widow mine drops.
 
LAN play.. meh. It'd be nice for tournaments but I wouldn't personally make use of it.

I've taken the new patch for a spin and it's actually terrible. I can't play matchmaking or versus AI because of some error message, so I tried out training mode. There is literally a 1 second lag between my clicking and the units responding... it's unplayable. Even the main menu lags. There is a ****ton of bugs in this patch.... once they're ironed out it'll be great, best patch ever, but as for now the game isunplayable. Check out battlenet and you'll find many others with similar comments.

:(.

Not sure if this is your issue but at a quick look it might be - http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/7923533844
 
Didn't look at the link cos I managed to diagnose the problem myself. It's because SC2 is still downloading game data on the background (even though it doesn't tell you). Open the launcher, click info, then connection information to check.

I waited for everything to finish, then fired up the game and it works fine now. The menus still lag a little bit sometimes but its not bad, and in-game is smooth and responsive like before the patch :)
 
yeah you can leave it on the launcher (before you hit play) and it will download it all in the background too, 6GB or so

i can't play at the moment as good ol virgin media is oversubscribed in my area so getting about 4mb speeds in the evenings (only time I'm in). Far too laggy to play.
 
Does anybody know exactly what time the beta finishes on 1st March?

I.e will the servers get cut as soon as the clock strikes 00:00 on 1st March or will we have the day to play?
