I would love MLG to organise a event in the UK. Looks really fun to be at.

Not really sure if this was worth staying up for. Some very nice stuff from the Slayers boys in the TvZ, blue flame is disgustingly good.
Hopefully HuK vs DRG will be good.

I made it to around 4am last night and have watched quite a few matches tonight.

Every Boxer game I've seen has been awesome, he is on fire right now.

I really want to try to get back into SC2 and decided to change from Terran to Zerg. Won 2 lost 3 of my placement matches, you need to keep a a lot of things in your brain for while playing zerg!

Whats the best replays or vids to watch to help get the hang of zerg?

Mainly trying these 2 build orders to start with.

You don't need replays or vids to get the hang of zerg, but it's always fun to watch someone like Idra or Nestea play for general inspiration. Just keep the basic principles in mind. There are a couple mammoth posts on the subject, but basic summary of macro: keep on top of larva injects, build drones whenever possible, stay ahead in expansions.

What league are you in?

Watching the GSL final atm, wishing LosirA would put up a fight, but NesTea is just completely outclassing him

It's so obvious that Nestea had blatantly taught Losira everything he knew, he read him like a book and it made it very boring. 4th game was so dumb by Losira, I mean Nestea wanted undefeated and hadn't used a trump card of a cheese, definitely should have had it scouted.

Some decent games at MLG, rets initial hold after losing 60 drones to blue flames against rain was ridiculous, idras bm good as usual.

What are people's opinions on this blue flame stuff, you can win a game so easily with decent micro and it's not even close to an all in and you're pretty much guaranteed a massive lead.

very true, getting very good now

Purdy · 31 Jul 2011 at 21:14

God how i wish boxer got the draw?
When is Idra on and who will he face if he progresses?

Hope DRG doesn't just roflstomp everyone else, would be nice to see a non korean win. Preferably idra for the post match interview ;D

titreano · 31 Jul 2011 at 21:18

idras has NaNiwa no idea when it'll be on though

iamtheoneneo · 31 Jul 2011 at 21:20

4-5 hours time i think....far too late for us europeans.

Purdy · 31 Jul 2011 at 21:24

Meh, i'm living at stupid hours now because of this tournament, didn't get to bed till 11 AM because of GSL, wasn't even close to worth it. =<

Purdy · 31 Jul 2011 at 21:26

idra vs mma repeat would be awesome.

iamtheoneneo · 31 Jul 2011 at 21:27
