| Legacy of the Void: Terran Edition IS OUT NOW! Posted: 30 May 2020 08:39 PM PDT My latest project is finally up in the Arcade! Legacy of the Void: Terran Edition is a modification of the original LotV campaign in which you play as terran. It features voice lines from WoL, Mercenaries, Armory upgrades, Lab upgrades (which you can choose before each mission) and a difficulty choosing system. It's available to play on the arcade right now, even if you have the free version of SC2. Any feedback is appreciated!

| GSL TY vs Parting Ro4: TY’s review (Translation in post) Posted: 30 May 2020 07:00 AM PDT I do not know how to post a video and add text at the same time so I will just leave a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS9qHUU72yQ&t=778s So I started this translation cuz I am a TY fan and I know you guys would like to hear what he had to say (also I was bored due to the quarantine life). I wanted to give up mid-way because translating a 30 minute video was way more time consuming, tiresome, and longer than I imagined. I just finished anyway since it felt like a waste of work already done. Quality of writing kinda drops mid-way cuz I was a bit lazy but I didn't mistranslate I believe. I did not proofread so there will be grammar mistakes. Hope you enjoy :D 0:36 I wanted to make Parting passive from the get go so I planned on doing an early all-in build 0:50 Originally, I was going to build my proxy barracks here but I had a bad feeling about the location so I switched the location 1:44 As you can see, the shield battery went up so early. I talked to Parting after the game, he told me that Parting knew for sure an early marauder push was going to come. So in this scenario, I should have lost. The only strategy that would have worked was trying to lure his units with a scv and hitting them with concussive shells when they are far from the shield battery. Parting should have not been curious and was supposed to stay in base but I won due to a fluke. 3:06 The reason I chose the proxy marauder strat was because if you go for a 2 barracks proxy, opponents can react to it after they scout my main base. For the marauder strat, protoss can't predict what kind of build the terran is going because there is another barracks blocking the entrance of my main base. 3:29 Oh there are some Crunky (chocolate) on my lips. I ate some before the match and forgot to wipe it off. 3:43 So here I blocked off my entrance again and this makes the protoss to have a headache. He can't predict what build I am going and in this situation he built his gateway on his natural which makes him worry more. 4:10 Solar was my secret supporter that helped me reach the Finals. He told me that there was a blind spot. (Think TY was talking about the blind spot in Parting's main). I was able to win all my games in this map in Ro8 and Ro4 thanks to you. Thank you Solar for your legacy. I am using it well. 4:45 My objective was to kill about 7 to 8 probes with these 3 hellions. So I was putting pressure in the front with marines and my medevac was heading to that blind spot. 5:08 (Clapping and thanking for $30 donation) 5:25 I got 16 probes here and when I saw that DT shrine, there was nothing Parting could do from that point. Especially when your opponent is Parting, you have to click on every building that is being built. 5:55 I scanned on his natural here and I was so surprised how ahead I was. I automatically thought he had a hidden base. I even sent a viking towards the upper left corner to check a hidden base. 7:16 I was wondering how I could beat Parting who already beat Maru. I realized Parting had a hidden arch nemesis, Special. Special told me ''don't allow to him play his game". So I prepared mainly on strategic build orders. 8:08 I was supposed to defend this by positioning my reapers close to his base but I was a little late doing that. I thought everything was fine if I defended the CC but Parting focused his chrono boosts on his gateway and his push was scarier than I expected. 8:52 I was behind and was supposed to put a bit of pressure with my hellions and reapers and build a tech lab for banshees. However, Parting forgot to research the crucial warp gate tech. He was supposed to have about 6 stalkers at this point with warp gates and able to defend easily. 9:36 Looks at the number of stalkers (Surprised Pikachu face) 10:13 I was so surprised how I won and took a peek at Parting. I shouldn't have saw Parting because you could easily tell he was psychologically hurting. After I saw Parting like that, I started to relax too much (TY thought he already was going to the Finals at this point). From this point Parting almost took me to Hell. I started thinking about the interview with Gyuri, thoughts about ''when was the Finals? I have to get in shape for taking pictures for the GSL Finals. I should start working out". ''This foolish guy (talking about himself) does this again even after blowing leads multiple times in the past because he got too arrogant. As a professional, it must be impossible to lose 4 games straight in a Bo7.'' 11:24 Build information: I skipped the reaper and went fast factory so the hellion drop is 5 to 10 seconds faster than usual. Hellions will be dropped in his base before blink research and I will have an opportunity to do damage. With this push, I just A attack the marines in the front and I focused all my attention on getting probes with my hellions. I would have been satisfied if I got 6 probes but I got more than that. 12:25 At this point, I realized that I 100% won this if I defend well. Making a raven for getting rid of observers, making tanks, and closing my entrance. I was confident that I could defend his push. But there was one variable that I forgot. The pilot of the stalkers. I totally forgot that I was playing against Parting. I should have built 2 or 3 bunkers at my natural if I knew it was Parting. 13:30 Building depots in the front like that was a poor decision. The main point to defend this is to kill the observer so that the stalkers can't blink forward easily. 14:00 I win this if I defend. I win this if I defend. I win this if I defend. I already got a lot of his probes and he keeps making stalkers and his army strength will diminish soon. I upgraded concussive shells instead of stimpack because I just needed to defend this push any way possible. Because I already killed his observer, I didn't realize his second observer was there. 14:34 ''ah shit… YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE?'' 14:50 Here he blinks over to the left and I thought he plays so frustrating. After this match, I realized that Parting is the father of blink stalkers. He is number 1 in that category. Other players are good at microing blink stalkers as well, but finding weak spots in well-positioned defense is a very difficult task. It feels like only Parting can do that. 15:25 Oh he is praying 15:34 I watched Parting's stream and realized whenever he had a proxy gate, he builds a pylon in his opponent's base. So I immediately knew he had a proxy gate. I knew I would have defended this push if I killed the pylon asap and build a bunker there. If I built my barracks far away from my main, I would have been in trouble since the reaper takes forever to come back to defend. 16:20 Full health stalker. Full health stalker. 16:37 I gave my reaper for bait to kill the probes with my mines. But his reaction time was good. 16:54 Generally, you always want to do stimpack research first, but I researched concussive shells first because I was so afraid of his blink stalkers. I was so scared that I was shaking my hands whole game. You don't realize this horrific feeling just by watching the game. You need to play against him in order to truly know how scary his stalkers are. 17:40 I talked with Parting while we were drinking: ''Your build is so tricky to defend. Am I the only one having a hard time defending this? Is this because I am nervous on stage?'' Parting's response was shocking. Parting said that even in practice, his opponents (I am assuming his pro teammates) went counter builds to defend his stalker build. He won every game. 18:20 So here I made the worst mistake. I showed my main army in the front to distract him so that my marine can poke in the north. I did this because I was worried that Parting would catch my army in the north. Parting vs Maru fifth match came to my mind resulting Maru's army getting annihilated. So my original plan was to slightly fight with him with my army in the front but I didn't notice he had so many stalkers there. Big oops. 19:25 I just told myself that I had to just defend this and go late game since I am confident in my late game. However Parting didn't give me any time. 19:50 "This is going to be a reverse sweep. Why did I become so careless? I hated myself and thought I was pathetic." I told myself "You idiot are you going to get knocked out like this again?" 20:23 Earlier I told you that I was thinking about the interview, etc when the score was 3-0. When the sixth set started, I was thinking who I should have a drink with, how will people make fun of me, how am I going to overcome the mockery. 20:50 Even if you kill the observer, it feels like Parting knows where your army is at. It felt irrelevant that he had no observers. Since Parting was leading the game once again, I had a bad feeling about this game as well. 21:28 What kind of bullshit is this (in a joking manner) blinking towards my mineral line in the corner like that when I have 3 tanks. 21:38 I noticed that I was so behind when I saw 2 collosi when I was making widow mines. At first I assumed they were hallucinated collosi, then I went into shock after I realized they were real. 22:08 After practicing in recent games, I gained so much confidence in late games so I knew I was going to win if this went to late game. 22:30 (he calls himself SC2's Warren Buffett by comparing his late game defense to his successful stock story) (I am assuming he scored pretty big by waiting to sell his stock when things were going bad) 22:44 I started to pray that Parting would make a mistake. And this happened. Parting suddenly had split personalities, one ordering him to attack and the other ordering him to defend. My prayer worked :D 23:48 As Parting has pride in his blink stalkers, I have pride in my late game. 24:00 Parting's style is weak against tanks because he doesn't go carriers. He likes to make more gateways and outnumber his opponents but that's not the answer for my late game defense. I never intended to push out and I was prepared to go for an hour long game. My plan was to keep nuking expos and expand my base slowly by massing tanks. 24:56 Even though it didn't show on the screen, Parting loses his whole army by my tanks here in a huge accident. I didn't see my army dying here but trading my trash army with Parting's main army was a miracle trade. 25:58 In a late game situation, your concentration is the most important. But after a huge mistake, almost every pro loses his concentration. Parting started to fall apart and kept on pushing when he wasn't supposed to. 26:38 I have much confidence in my late game nuke strat to execute as well as Maru does. 26:55 I knew I won at this point but I didn't want him to even have a 0.1% chance to come back. I had so many reverse comebacks in my career and I was sick of it. I didn't have the confidence to beat Parting in game 7 as well. So I never pushed out at this point to make sure I get the W. 27:38 Terran has a good chance of winning late games because of planetary fortresses. It is easy to win trades because you know that PFs are going to delay/ defend side pushes. I was originally planning to go late game every single set. 28:22 I will tell you why ghosts and tanks comp is op. in order for the protoss to get the ghosts, you need an observer. However if there is a turret near the ghosts, the observer can't approach the ghosts. (Pause) To be honest, most people can't use this strat. Unless you are a master of late game, it is very hard to pull off. 29:13 Terran's dream… Twin PFs. The reason I made twin PFs is because Zest told me that a single PF just gets demolished in a second by 8 dts with 2 upgrades. You can't destroy twin PFs. I cussed at terran players who made twin PFs when I played zerg or protoss. It is so op. It is sturdier than the Great Wall. 30:33 There is a reason why Parting couldn't go carriers. I was already prepared even if he went carriers. 31:14 This was my plan as a big picture. My smaller plans were those early tactical builds but if they didn't work, I always had this tank, nuke late game strat prepared. 31:53 As a result, I was able to go to the Finals [link] [comments] | ||

| Old player returning to SC2, need a question answered. Posted: 30 May 2020 08:15 PM PDT I have been playing SC since roughly 2000. Played SC2 from launch date and have been on and off with it. I have never really been a ladder kind of guy, ive always preffered to play custom games and co-op. Now i want to try my hand at ladder. My question is what, if any, milestones should I achieve before getting into ladder. My biggest concern is getting stomped mercilessly and repetitively enough that I just wont enjoy playing ladder. (my problem with OG SC). [link] [comments] | ||

| GSL Code S 2020 S1 | Ro4 | Day 2 | Rundown Posted: 30 May 2020 04:59 AM PDT And then there were three in this fresh new edition of 2020 GomTvT! INnoVation vs CureGoing into most matches we barely have a relevant sample size to examine, the exact opposite was true here as these two have played each other so often we can look at their recent history during this year alone to get a great preview of what to expect, which overall could be summed up as a decisively clear statistical advantage for INnoVation to deliver the expected result. Furthermore, the intangibles were also going in the Terran Champion's favor, having not only gone deep in Code S many more times not to mention sharing the record for second most trophies won in this tournament but also his opponent having never pushed through this particular Round; in terms of history and statistics, this series felt over before it'd started. So if everything was pretty much pointing in the direction of the veteran favorite, why even watch at that point, we already knew what would happen, right? "I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong", there's no such thing as a guaranteed outcome when legacy, pride and dreams are on the line. Warning: Spoilers Ahead, Obviously Before we knew what hit us the underdog had run up a ridiculously advantageous score reaching match point, only to then falter and be dragged into the last map of the night - where Cure would none the less rise to the occasion one more time, pulling off the upset and securing his first ever appearance in the GSL Code S Final.

| Good or stupid idea for an online tournament ? Posted: 30 May 2020 10:03 PM PDT Only famous players, Top 30 EU, TOP 10 US TOP 50 KOR TOP 2 SEA. Everyone plays random. Only viewers and casters know who's who players don't know. What do you think ? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 30 May 2020 01:59 PM PDT Hello, I haven't played the game in a few years and am currently looking for some replays but all of the replay sites from back in the day seem to be dead. What are some good, up-to-date replay sites where I can find recent replays from pro players/tournaments? [link] [comments] | ||
