Best terran opener I've ever seen:
Rax ---> depot ---> dual gas (stockpile 1000+ for your starports later) --> engineering bay ---> Planetary Fortress
60
It transitions perfectly into 4 port banshee!
32
4 port with 3 banshees.
31
23 minute 3 banshee + 3 viking timing push. Legit.

I prefer Cloke Zero, myself.
12
My god; remember when 4pool rushed roach drop and got it in a record 17 min?
17
Ha. yes, that was hilarious to watch
5
Actually, I think he got the Ebay before gas.
4
He did which was beautiful.
4
My guess is that his thought was "i will get planetary fortress so nothing can touch me from ground and engineering bay so that i can make turrets to counter air". Ok, this timing was a bit off but he did get those turrets and he wasnt harassed by banshees because of them. So his plan worked :P
PS Also the planetary got like 2 kills, so it totally worth it.
3
Yeah, absolutely what he was doing. He was hoping to turtle and tech up to air. The only problem is that it was a stupid way of turtling, and he was very bad at working up his tech tree.
1
I think i might try this out when i get home. Sounds legit.

I remember, a while back, someone made a post about a kid saying "I have cancer and I want to build cities, will you help me build cities?" and while watching Neewo play all I could think of was a small, disabled child who couldn't do anything other than try to figure out how to build. He built building after building and hardly produced any units. It was really sad.

Also, if let unharassed for 20 or more minutes, you're safe to expand into your natural. Upgrade that CC, but don't bother with the PF because you already have one.
2
One of the challenger guys had insane APM though, 120 average for gold level?!!! I'm in diamond and I barely push 50. Think he would play better if he wasn't mashing the keyboard with his head or something.

You need to listen around more then!
10
I don't even own the game, so that I even know about team liquid, HD, husky, and day9 was pretty good I thought.
7
Team Liquid and Day[9] is good. :D

Thank you for the links.
But fuck Livestream. I give up. They need to fix their system for people in Australia, I cannot believe I'm unable to even watch Vods without buffering all the time.
/rant
8
I'm in the US and I'm buffering all the time and seeing ads.
Ustream is so much better.
The fucking thing showed an ad, hung at 0 seconds for 20 seconds, played 2 seconds of video, and showed another ad.
8
I'm in the US and I'm buffering all the time and seeing ads.
I kept seeing warnings that I was about to see an ad in like 177 minutes, but when I tried to click the little 'x' in the window I got a some kind of branding hover that covered the x. Pretty annoying.
It's not a problem fullscreen, though.
But, Adblock actually stops the ads from being shown.
3
I'd never heard of Wolf before watching his livestream of the games, and I must say that he is a pretty entertaining caster! I can't speak for his technical knowledge of the game; but from what I saw, he at least knew more than HD and Husky.
4
The goatrope cast was actually quite hilarious to listen to!
3
You're such a try harder.
5
Highly recommended you check them out more often then, they're always like that.
2
I recommend The Goat Show. Those guys are hilarious.
3
I tried watching that Goat cast, that was unbearable. Calling it a cast even is a stretch. It was a bunch of awkward nerds sitting in a room together, talking about whatever-the-fuck-starcraft more than the match itself, the mouse guy trying to show off his leet APM more than actually watch the match, the other guys just jerking off in the background or something. Ugh. It was not funny at all, it was a pathetic show of "I'm better than you" talk with no substance whatsoever.
3
Do you know if there's any chance of the casts to be put on youtube? livestream won't play more than 20 seconds of video without throwing a 30 second ad in.
1
the L2SC VOD is a Ustream cast in 720p
1
I'm just finished the second game on there.
I hope some of the great youtube casters do these videos.
1
Adblock plus (in firefox) stops those ads.
1
Adblock plus in Chrome sucks pretty hard.

commenting so i can check this out when i get home.

I'm commenting just to save... stupid work >_<

hows your econ bro?
39
it's ECO, not econ.
24
So in actuality he was asking about his ecology.
Which is nice.
25
Daffodils and hellions.

We welcome you, earthdeirdre and earthwheat and earthtree as honored guests, for you add great power to our ancient song -- planetfungus and planetworm and planetmind sing and play here, and you are welcome among us.

oh, I had thought he was saying EGO. Which I think makes so much more sense, coming from a gold player.
1
Someone has to tell him that you can't 4 pool in sc2 any more.
Unless you build two extractors first.
31
dude, he knows what he is doing, he won in WCG '06
50
He was A in iccup too!
22
It's cool though, He didn't want to hold onto that Gold.
2
17
Or more accurately, Deadpool's not 4.
2
Although he does have the personality of a toddler.
1
Who needs extractors.
I'll occasionally four pool; I start out by killing two of my drones.
Why? Because I'm hardcore, that's why.
6
Go steal enemy extractors. 4pool + enemy has no gas to tech, YEAAAAAAAAH.
4
Pit your drones against each other for the sake of the species. ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL SURVIVE.
3
Scout with two drones!

CheAse is a fucking beast, I used to hang around on Pull's LS channel, CheAse was a regular. We frequently had show matches comprised of those who were currently in the channel and wanted to play (there were a few of me getting rolled trying new builds against Pull) and alot of CheAse... Cheesing people - He never bragged, was always very polite but good god could he make people rage. His cheese was flawless when done and would often invoke heated exchanges with people he was often trying to teach how to play (CheAse never responded, they were mostly very one sided exchanges).
CheAse is a fantastic player and I have no doubt that those two jackasses were infact, Jackasses. Two games even after it was a 2v1, the surviving player BM'd by flying buildings away with no chance of survival just to prolong the game and then not leaving when he was clearly defeated in the last game.
Edit : Just read TL, there is a post explaining the whole deal. TLDR two douches that CheAse knows IRL were bragging about their SC2 skills (whilst the whole time being 6 pooling gold div players) and he put them in their place.
30
'CheAse is a fantastic player'
I disagree, just from what I watched from those 4 games. He made a lot of rookie mistakes.
-18
You, at some point in life, should get over yourself sir. What we saw was awesome. Imagine yourself in his shoes, putting to death the dumb mob mentality of two high school assholes by yourself (or college, maybe?).
This was the stuff of legend. What Starcraft is all about. If anything, it shows that he knew he didn't have to play flawlessly to beat those noobs.
7
That's got nothing to do with it.
'it shows that he knew he didn't have to play flawlessly to beat those noobs.'
'I disagree, just from what I watched from those 4 games'
My statement is still fine.
0
I was kind of struck by how often and how long he was supply blocked, but I'd watch the replay before I commit to that. He was doing some pretty beastly micro.
4
But he floated resources almost the entire game and always had his production facilities idling.
1
So he is your usual non korean diamond player?
2
Are you talking about Kiting? because I frankly don't consider that to be terribly difficult.

WELCOME TO THE PRO'S

SAY GOOD NIGHT!
7
What a try hard.
22
This all smells like a bit of a fake to me. Who the hell is that much of a villain anyway?
welcome to the pros
oh you found one of my mainey expos
I have the map just leave Bro
and so on. It's too easy, too appropriate when they lose. Everything about this, the "we're good with girls", that 'Bro' even, to pull in some anti-jock hatred from elementary past and Chease's somehow very wise, very mature responses, bah.
I smell a fiction.
17
They were just fucking around. I doubt the taunts were "serious"
34
I talk shit all the time and half the time I'm losing. It's just part of the fun.
12
i think the first ones were..."SAY GOODNIGHT" and "welcome to pros"...
but yah, i think they were purposely over the top to make it clear they weren't serious...thus implying they were just having "fun" with the whole thing...a natural tact when you realize you're about to get rofflestomped in a 2v1
1
sadly, I have met/know/played people who act like the two douches featured here. I don't think any of it was fake at all.
CheAse didn't respond too much, and not at all I think, until he started winning :) And he made sure what he said was good because of the streaming and that he was repping his team etc.
6
Man I get bm'ed all the time with stupid shit that makes this look relatively calm.
Im now going to go have sex with my GIRLFRIEND
Another game;
Slanty eyed fucking shit fag
etc.
3
Wow, why would there be fiction? What possible motive? Did you watch the games?
1
Possible Motive: CheAse just got picked up by a new team, he even advertised it during the games.
TBH it smelt a bit like fiction to me too, but even if it is - it was a wonderful drama.
2
I would think, though, that if CheAse was trying to drum up publicity, he would have pulled a 3-2 rather than a 3-1 win. Going LWWLW would have been more exciting than a clear LWWW.

hate it or love it, this represents the gaming culture at large

Not really... Or wait, maybe some places.

Fond, fond memories of Chill v. Combat-Ex were had. Well done, CheAse, well done.
10
and well done Chill for feauring cheAse's original post...thus making this grudge match inevitable and allowing the torch to be passed.
2
Watching these two made me really ashamed to still be in gold. But watching the match made me happy to still be alive, seeing cool stuff. So it balances out.
8
They're probably in gold 2v2, which doesn't say much. One of them was actually gold, the other was definitely bronze.

I fapped to that.

better than porn
4
Those matches only prove that their average apm is higher than there IQ, there are 50 fucking ways a person with any knowledge of sc2 could win 2v1, dear god, it was so fucking funny to watch/listen to the match and commentary.
6
You really believe Neewo had an IQ under 30? I'd credit him with at least 50.
3
he gets another +20 for getting a BJ throughout the whole match. that's some serious multi-tasking
1
Yeah my first question was... dual cannon rush?
1
Wouldn't a worker rush have pretty much won immediately?
1
yes, or duel 6 pool, duel 7 pool, duel 8 pool, double cannon rush, double 2x gate, double 8rax...etc etc ETC those two must be fucking retarded.
1
oh yeah, the not-4pool guy was so insanely bad I wondered if he had ever played an RTS before. I don't understand how he could even win singleplayer, let alone against other humans.
2
To everyone having issues viewing the Livestream VOD
5
Listen guys, as every really pro SC2 player knows it is hard to play while you're getting a BJ.
4
Its really hard to play while the other player is using sorcery to change your race.
5
Yo I'd leave a serious comment right now, but it's hard to comment and get head at da same time u no?
4
They think they're better at everything.
Not this time.
Not Starcraft.
4
GGS. With any luck, this'll be up on nevake in a few days :D
If you're just gonna watch the replays you're doing yourself a disservice! A ton of fun was had on the goatshow commentating these.
3
As soon as I noticed that neither Zerg was spreading creep I knew this series would be hilarious.
No real rush cheese from anyone surprisingly tho.
3
Did you see that 17 minute Roach Drop? Imba!
3
Spreadin' the word about October the third
CheAse was rolling on the street
heard these punks say they were "uber l33t"
CheAse said "fools, you don't know jack!
I'll take you both on with no one at my back!"
The villains of our story said "Let's make it real"
"When we whoop your ass your money we'll steal!"
CheAse said "a'ight" and threw down the micro
making sure his BM didn't have any typo's
Our hero lost the first fight, his head in the clouds
our villains threw it in his face loud and proud
but their party was short lived, the hookers had to wait
for even though all they spoke was hate
CheAse pulled a fast one - TURNS OUT HE'S A WIZARD!!
ended up shoving their talk down their gizzards
Our intrepid hero is an example to all
Nerds should never back down - stand tall!!
For with a lot of skill and a little luck
the noobies will be saying "its unbelievable how much you suck!!"
lolragequit
I read this to the tune of "Hero of Canton"...
you good sir, are amazing
It sounds like a Duane and BrandO song to me.
