So Im pretty much a casual player on iccup, and I log in but I don’t feel like playing seriously. I decide that I’m going to offrace as P (I usually play T or Z) and that I’m going to do some D level gosu reaver ownage. So I join game, and he is Z. Whenever I think of reavers, I think IntoTheRainbow, and I suddenly decided in the lobby to do the 4 probe harass.

Game begins, and I send my probes to the other mains of python to scout.



I find him by seeing his creep (a la Boxer/oov minerals trick)



My 4 manprobes make his drones cower in a corner, and he throws an early pool in response.





My D level probe micro fails as I lose a probe:



An eye for an eye, bitch!



Inevitably his lings come out, and I begin gateway at my main:



EE HAN TIMING! The zeal pops just as he arrives to try and fag my pylon:



My manzeal thinks he’s the shit and tries to take them all on:



His friend joins in and by accident rather than design I have managed to make a sexy formation:



Resulting in a lot of dead lings!



After this I manage to slip a zealot through, inspired by JF I want to get some drone kills while I tech up.



However he surrounds the poor zealot and he promptly disappears in blue flame.



I have amassed quite a few zealots off 1 gate, and he is just content to sit below my ramp with lings.



I have teched to stargate and my sexy scout is almost done.



I have enough zeal to block ramp, and to pressure with zeals, and after a lot of carnage I arrive at his base and block the ramp between his main and nat.



My scout has enough time to kill an ovie before:



His mutaling cleans up my ramp block



My sense of star predicted his mutas and thus I have 2 cannons around mins, I hurriedly pull my scout back to the cannons:



My opponent is rather rash and he decides to kill the scout:



But fails.



Seeing the flood of zealots heading towards him my opponent leaves the game.



P.S So I forgot to use a reaver but the scout sufficed. Hope you found this entertaining. Merry Christmas and all that.

It was my first time tutoring a class recently and it went quite smoothly.

So theres a bunch of exercises and I was meant to cover some of them before telling the class to attempt the questions themselves. I decided to cover part a of each question:

"OK I'll cover one part of each question, 1a, 2a, 3a..."

Too much SC?

When blocking ramp or defending reaver i make sure the unit is facing the right way, i amove in the direction then press stop right after to make unit face the direction i want

I LOVEOOV PLAYING IN PROLEAGUE!!

monster is back bitches

Now basically i consider myself a casual player, with the odd game on iccup, i win some, i lose some. I have been fortunate to encounter (relatively) few bad mannered people so in general the iccup experience has been pretty decent.

Basically when I get bm'ed, I think its mildly funny, I dont get worked up at all, for example:


BM Guy: Fuck you fucking noob
Me: yea u lost to one
BM Guy: Fuck your mum etc etc I just want to kill someone right now
Me: Its just a game take a chill pill


How about you guys? Do you get pissed off if someone bm's you?

So i look at the schedule for upcoming games, so many fuckn mirrors in proleague zz

and gomtv today was a mixed bag, rainbow series was awesome but boxers play was a bit shithouse

SPOILERS















Starcraft was getting stale. I admit it, I am a perfectionist. Watching the builds that are played to death, yet played perfectly were still good to watch. But something was missing.

Creative Play. Unorthodox Play. Play that couldnt be countered through pure practice.

Boxer delivers. I used to look only at his sloppy macro and his ineffective play, but now I see his perfect micro, and the perfectionist in me is truly sated.

He is the master of mind games. Game 1.

"Hidden" Rax. 1 base Valk Play.

His clutch rine split vs the 3 lurkers. Vintage Boxer.

Game 2. The game is slipping away from boxer. He mines up for a counter and nukes a bleeding zerg expansion. As expected, the zerg horde charges and melts under the mines and bunkers. Mind games. There really was no need to counter...I almost felt sorry for the zerg.

The final blow, dropship backdoor with a nuke at the front.

For the first time in a while, gg has a meaning.

Good Game. Thank you Lim Yo Hwan for revitalising a stagnant Starcraft scene.
