    BlizzCon 2008

    I made a mistake, it's actually 112 now. It definitely used to be 128 because you used to be able to kill a lurker with a single storm, so it used to be possible, although difficult, to play PvZ with no observers by using templar (see: GARIMTO). Storm has 8 animation frames, each of which deals...

    BlizzCon 2008

    IIRC, the original Starcraft took a long time before release. There are some websites that chronicle how long it took and all of the changes that took place. The long release that comes to mind (and had the most relevance during the time I was playing) was Starcraft 1.08. The last balance...

    BlizzCon 2008

    That was the World Wide Invitational, which IIRC, was held in Europe this year. BlizzCon has always been held in Anaheim. I went for a day the first time they held it because Candle gave me his guest pass (I was going to school in the LA area at the time). Watched the pro Starcraft and...

    The Workforce

    Not really sure if anyone here besides Tek remembers me/cares, but Ph.D. student in mathematics at Stanford. Currently, I'm on fellowship from the National Science Foundation, so I'm not technically employed, but once that runs out in three years, I'll be getting my paychecks from the university...

    raser teamliquid star league (tsl)

    Yeah, that was a great series. The consolation game and the finals next week are going to be awesome. I thought BRAT could've won game 5 if instead of running into JF's main, he had kept mining the narrow choke between the main and natural and just completely wiped out the natural. I think he...

    raser teamliquid star league (tsl)

    Draco really impressed me. Wanting Nony to win, it was extremely painful to watch these games. I felt like Nony had a good chance of winning all three, but he made a couple mistakes in all of them, and Draco capitalized on them. Whenever Nony had an advantage, he tried to push it and ended up...

    raser teamliquid star league (tsl)

    Yeah, the build he used on Wuthering was really, really creative. So crazy that it worked. I loved watching that game a lot. The depot block by BRAT_OK was awesome too. That one totally shocked me, and I was jumping out of my seat as it happened. PvZ is supposed to be one of Draco's better...

    raser teamliquid star league (tsl)

    Just watched RO8 Day 2, and it's too bad that DinOt lost. I loved how unconventional he was, and he had some crazy strats/builds that worked remarkably well. JF's storms were just too good though. Now, I have to say either BRAT_OK or Nony. I really like watching good terrans even though I'm a...

    raser teamliquid star league (tsl)

    I wasn't able to watch the live broadcast today because I was at graduation, so I'm waiting for the VODs to go up on the torrent tracker and avoiding all spoilers until then. My favorite player was Dreiven, but he got knocked out yesterday. His series against Mondragon in the RO16 was one of...

    Who is getting the expansion?

    FYI CircuitCity has this for 17.99, and using coupon code R8ALNAJAD9 brings it down to about $17 including tax. I'm going to do this tomorrow even though I probably won't have time to play it for another month.

    StarCraft Legacy's StarCraft II Zerg coverage

    The issue isn't really Warcraft III (which is a fine game in its own right, but doesn't have the same frantic pace as Starcraft) - the dev team knows that they're making a SC sequel and not a space adaptation of Warcraft III. The issue is that the lead designer was the lead designer from C&C...

    StarCraft Legacy's StarCraft II Zerg coverage

    I still occasionally check these forums (like once every couple of months). I rarely play BW anymore because of school, although I try to watch some pro games whenever I can (i.e. I watch nearly everything when I'm on break, but very few when school is in session). It's hard for me to play on...

    Starcraft Training Needed

    http://www.divshare.com/download/1273675-643 A couple games of PvZ on a handicapped version of Lost Temple against one of my friends. He gets 60 minerals per minute for every 5 drones he has, and after 20 drones, he gets 40% of that amount in gas as well. I may or may not get bored enough to...

    strats and stuff, you can get videos of professional matches on the torrent tracker at teamliquid.net or youtube "OSL" or "MSL". team liquid also has some reps of professionals, top amateurs, and the top non-korean players in the replays section. AFAIK, there's someone who's been dubbing over...

    I'm always looking for people to play, so you can AIM/ICQ/MSN me @ Kralgon/24032035/kralgon@yahoo.com. I've been playing some of my friends who are far below my skill level and giving them tips after each game and telling them how to improve, and the one I've been playing a lot has improved...
