So rather than give a proper reply in the thread, I'll write about it here in this blog. BW is often touted as the holy grail of RTS games which any other game from the genre strives to be like. It's often looked at as a game with incredible depth and with each...

And wow, this patch changes a lot. Nearly everything I was going to complain about has been patched or fixed. Which, really, is great. A lot of your will have read my blog The Good, The Bad and The Ugly which gave you my first impressions of the units in HotS. Well, here are my new thoughts ...

So far I can only see use for two abilities - recall and purifier. Both have obvious uses, recall allows for aggression early game (and hence why I'm playing exclusively 3 gate zealot/sentry pressure expand in PvZ atm) while purifier allows you to defend situations which would otherwise be impossible. I haven't wor...

Going into the tournament there was a ton of hype around how awesome it was going to be and how it was the hardest tournament in the world. And indeed with the players that attended it probably was the hardest tournament to date. But when the tournament had come to its conclusion I couldn’t ...

To some of us it's a foreign concept - 'lol who could get scared by laddering' - but to many members it's a real issue. I'm not a psychologist, I don't know why it's such a common issue to many gamers. But what I will say is that the cause is most likely varied across those experiencing it. As such, 'treatment' of ...

It surprises a lot of people, but in our house I actually do all the cooking (when I can be bothered). However, part of her Foo...

After all, it is a great journey in which we experience a number of events with some of those being bad. Death, disease, loss, failure, disappointment, medivacs... all of these things can challenge you mentally and make life difficult. Some people can't take it, and end it all. In fact, the guy who sat in front of me in 5th form history (when I was 15) e...

It will chart my time here on TeamLiquid; from regular user, to staff member, to 'quitting' TL back to today. This isn't meant to be an autobiography, rather an indicator to all that you aren't that different from the staff on this website. Why do this? Because an alarming...

This is my attempt at generating a combined Korea+International player ranking. The ranking is based off of TLPD and I will tell you you method I've used shortly. At the moment, I am still fine tuning the ranking formula so this is a beta ranking. Future rankings may use a different formula! Moreover, this is also to gauge interest in such a monthly rankin...

Before we go any further, let me make this clear - this is my last post in TeamLiquid for the foreseeable future, and I won't be playing sc2 for a long time either. The last week has been one of the most challenging in my life and made me see more clearly t...

If he did I'll put it up here.

Part of that comprises a dissertation we have to write on a research topic (not necessarily new research). For my project I am working in an area of Topology which deals with Convergence Spaces (it's like a generalised topological space). I am currently in the process of writing up the work I have done ov...

That is, write down a list of recipes that I have made over and over and over again and are still awesome. And after about 4 hours of LaTeX'ing, here is the result! Click Me! Every recipe in that pdf file I stand behind 100% as a kickass fooding option. They hav...

Warning: Rage Inducing I have never been a fan of Broodlords, I've always thought they were too powerful against Protoss. Since Protoss lack any effective form of anti-air against armoured units, Broodlords are particularly effective against Protoss. I played three games today which reaffirmed my hatred o...

Also, the MSL Grand Final will start at 17:00 KST tonight, but after the pregame show, the games are likely to start around 18:00 tonight as well. i.e. major SC and SC2 tournaments will be broadcast at exactly the same time. Is this the beginning of the SC...

But with the MSL finals upon us this just felt appropriate. Edit: I probably should have said this earlier, but.... this article is two fold.

When I say barely, I mean it. I've got everything switched to low and I can't add units to a group by holding shift and selecting them, cuing commands for my problem with shift also fails regularly, as well as just doing anything when there is lots of shit flying about. So I've come to the conclusion I need to fix this problem. Now...

I'm not much of a lunch person. I really really don't like sandwiches which makes lunches quite difficult. Typically much lunches consist of bits and pieces of food that I just happen to have available. For instance, I usually just eat a pie for lunch when I'm at uni since its relatively inexpensive and I usually skip lunch all together when I'...

You probably know me as a writer for this site, or that guy who organizes liquibition when he's not lazy, or perhaps that guy who keeps trying to push liquipedia along.
