Yeah octoshape is pretty bad. But it's the biggest SC2 event in NA so far. I'm happy to take 10 seconds out of my time and 10mb of my hard drive space to see some of the best players in the world playing.
Surprised how professional this is.

MLG has always been very professional.
I've emailed EpicCarnage from his trust. If i don't get a response or he isnt interested any more i'll happily host instead. Either way, look forward to some OcUK SC2 tournaments coming up
I think day[9] is awesome...except when he tries a british accent...
some americans think we actually talk like that, dress the same as the elizabethans, and our currency still includes shillings.
oh, and if 10 gate vs 6pool becomes the norm, it's still fine because the zerg player 6-pooling screws his economy up more than you 10 gate-ing.
About the calculation on the first zergling arriving 20 secs before first zealot pops, i don't believe that since the zealot build time has only been increased by a few seconds (5 iirc) and normally it's easy enough to have 1 zealot out by the time the first zergling arrive...sooooo...

The calculation obviously doesn't take into account travel distance since that varies every map. Saying that having played against a few 6 pools in the last few days i didn't realise just how much it screws your economy over. If it fails I basically auto-win
A few people re-streaming the MLG event sans octo plug in - here's one http://www.livestream.com/vyyye

I don't mind tanks at all. Would love to see a marauder nerf. They are the most boring, overpowered unit in the game by far. Otherwise I don't like nerfs, I think nerfs limit playability. I'd rather see weaker units buffed.
Terran Nerf to Tanks and Zealot and warp gate build/cooldown times will make the game far more interesting.
Fewer brain dead 4 gate zealot rushes and less use of tanks (especially in TvT) should open up a lot more tactics.
They're the same thing. It's not like they're removing options, in which case I'd agree with you (like Sagat's lk to knee frame trap removal nerf in SSFIV).

That would be ace
good work dude!Yeah pretty much agree with that, was siiick to death of those 4 gate zeals, and tanks.. goes without saying really!
just had great game went 2 gate early build as usual in 2v2 and went to harras the two prtoss players, harras turned into a 1 man rush against a greater number of zealots managed to micro them well enough to have all of them on red hp regening sheilds and eventually took them both out with a little help from team mate who realised what was going on
I was doing pretty good last night until I played three terrans in a row that all did marine/marauder/medivac and they just obliterated me. Got on my nerves a bit cause my rank had gone up 37 places which I promptly lost. Any tips on beating it as protoss?
struggle with same thing is my worst nightmare, only seem to win when out play them. usually just keep trying to harras and hope he waits til have a big enough force of hts zealots stalkers and immortals to take him on
Please don't kill me for how rude this is, but if anyone has two spare trial keys for SC II I'd be extremely grateful if you would be able to send me them
Two of my friends who haven't really PC gaming in a while and really want to get into a good RTS but are aprehensive about buying anything yet say they really like the look of SC II, but unfortunately I've already used my two trial keys on other people : /
Thank you so much if anyone obliges
