Yeah same guy, he's zerg. Replay:

Don't think I scouted his hyrda den fast enough, so my colossus was too late. I think if I had another colossus when he pushed I could've held him off.

i'll check the replay when i get home
Happy days, I get the pleasure of starting with a PvP vs that KwarK fellow who took 3rd last week.
Kwark is the SC:BW UK #1
SCII UK #1 is DeMusliM
well.. he was since MidiaN now lives in Korea.
Ah MidiaN...I always felt sorry for him since he seemed such a good player but could never make an impact when he got to the WCG finals and other such events.
KwarK is the SC:BW #1 though you say?! *gulp* I can't see me doing much then with my ~50apm and horrible multitasking.
Went to college with Jamie (MidiaN) we failed Biology epically together
He went to Singapore once while I was there, ended up in about 8th place IIRC and got an MP3 player.
yeah
he was a nice bloke from what i knew of him, lives with some girl in korea now! madness!Patch 12

Well that's my early game defense blown.
Next change is roaches will be tier 2 (you heard it here first)
That is a bit of a small patch tbh, I bet they spent most of the week sorting out the stability issues.
Oh and the Thor size change is also a nurf to Zerg as you will have to be a little more accurate with your neural parasite.
Although the changes to the forge are welcome. Hopefully it will reduce proxy pylon rushes (or cause Toss a more economical disadvantage if they want to get them out at about the same time).
PS is battlenet down for anyone else?

yes down for me also , new patch soon but not soon enough lol
Also the price of the game seems to have jumped up to £34.99 in quite a few places
What's the lowest it's been at? I just want to know so I know how much I should be kicking myself for leaving it this late

if you search around on there you'll find some very useful things
Anyway, about the patching last night... It took them just over an hour to patch and bring back up the US servers, took well over 5 hours to bring up the Europe servers.. how on earth!?
Also, i really don't understand the logic behind nerfing the roach yet again.
Its not an overpowered unit at all, and if you compare it with the other Units in its bracket, their all better than the roach in some form.
Marauders >> Roaches
Stalkers >> Roaches and have AA
Immortals >> Roaches
so adding to the fact that pretty much all T1.5 - T2 unit do nasty things to roaches, or has some other advantage over them, they are now also unable to mass them, which is what Zerg mechanics have always been about.
Zerg arent meant to micro single/small groups of units like/as much as Protoss or Terran do. You wouldn't see Zerg build a single mutalisk to micro around a base to harass for example.
Just not needed, or at least if their going to do this, give them back their origional stats with the regen and more armour.

^ agreed. I dont know SC2 that well really but I do know that I thought Zerg was all about mass units that are weaker. It seems to have been turned into the same amount of units as terran and protoss and weaker.
About 5 or 6 patches back the game was much more balanced.
