I blame the larger keyboard (Mac keyboards are much smaller) making me have to reach further to hit the correct buttons. The shiny graphics also distract me now. And there's just something that has fucked with my timing/brain activity.


If the graphics are too shiny for you, try playing on low quality if you don't already. I switched to it once for whatever reason and I've never gone back, even though the game played fine for me on normal (I never tried it above normal). Things are easier to see on low quality. As for timing and keyboard issues, the only way to really fix those is by playing more. You only get used to timings by playing and it's not unusual to lose some sense of that if you don't play for a while.

If you see me on sc2 and wanna practice, shoot me a message.

We need your character code to add you (you can find it by mousing over your picture in the top right).




I got promoted to platinum 1v1 last night. It was after beating a terran whose strategy seemed to be "make a lot of hellions, then follow it up with more units that can't hit air".

EG likes to announce announcements but this time they are pulling off all the stops and making it into a giant puzzle.

Right now the best I can figure out is EG moving to Korea, forming a teamhouse and Huk joining them / the house?

But that's just entirely guess work.

The HuK acquisition is apparently extremely likely. First off, HuK's contract is inside the 2-month window with TL I believe, assuming they lock down on 1-year contracts. EG's likely acquiring him via a transfer fee.

But I reeeeealllly doubt this is the only thing they're going after.

The Korea house is unlikely - they tried that. Plus, they just got the house in Arizona, which they've set up and gotten finalized, I doubt they're just going to back out on that now.

Also, we're inside the 5 hour mark.

I don't think that this is it. This is part 1. I think they're acquiring more Koreans soon.

No DjWheat :(

I don't expect much out of Huk this MLG he's literally gone around the world 3 times in the last month, he's spent more hours travelling to and from tournies then he's been able to sit down and practise.

Coca could surprise group 1. His PvZ is incredible, and he has 3 P in the group. Rain will be tough, but I'm betting out of practice.

I just think Rain will take it with how TvP is right now, unless one of the Toss players has something amazing up his sleeve for it, but that leaves it to Naniwa, as I doubt Huk or Incontrol will be able to, from Huk's traveling and Incontrol...being incontrol.
