You found yourself a 2v2 partner?

I feel like I've been cheated on

I may not be Platinum, but I'm loyal. Don't you don't forget that

And congrats on being first! I also see that you have 99 wins - 1 more for a new portrait

Actually I haven't done 2v2 with him. But I'm seeing 2 other persons... But really, it's nothing. With you it's serious, you and me have a future. The others... they're just distractions for when you're not around. I swear it hasn't been more than 5 times. Or 6. Don't be mad, if you want I'll break up with them.

Good news: I think I found out how to beat Zerg! It involves lots of Colossi and enough stalkers to fend off mass mutalisk. It seems to be working well.

In the last match tonight I faced Zerg. I used that strategy and took out his expansion. He said 'gg' so I relaxed... and then he attacked me again. Luckily I had a back-up army sitting in my base, so after 3 minutes I got the real gg. Weird guy.

Oh yeah, I got promoted to Platinum. Ranked 12 at the moment, but the top is really competitive so by tomorrow I'll probably be 20 or lower.

Nice. I'm bronze, my teammate is platinum. Interesting mix.

But I've been playing offline in the last few days, and I've got much better.

Early Banshee harass FTW!

BTW, did anyone hear about the new custom maps announced at BlizzzCon? Left 2 Die and Blizzard DotA are sure to be big hits. Can't wait to play them!

Wait. Blizzard is making an official DOTA map? Who is it going to be maintained by?

Actually, don't tell me. DOTA on Warcraft III has eaten enough of my time already.

They really haven't announced anything yet (or at least, I don't know anything else other than the fact that they're releasing it), but yes, it's made by Blizzard (the original DotA is owned by Valve, as you probably know). The description says that it has characters from Blizzard's game universes, so it'll probably be something like Smash Bros.

Actually they compared it to Super Smash Bros. themselves.
I just don't like the grey environments. Give trees!

Left2Die sounds like a lot of fun, I want to see screenshots! I wonder if you can play as all races, or just Terran.

Angrist · 11-05-2010, 06:54 PM

Argh, Zerg drive me crazy.

So hard to defeat.
I've been losing a lot, also vs. Protoss and Terran. I went from rank 8 to 18 within a few days.

I have no desire to play this game [while I loved SC], but practically all the gamers I know own this game - so I know the strategies and whatnot - but I just don't want to waste countless hours playing Koreans who play for speed and stats, and not fun.

I am however super fond of watching friends play, or watching commentated replays on Youtube. I actually find that entertaining.

Angrist · 11-06-2010, 02:42 AM

You think you can battle Koreans? Like, logistically? They're on a different realm. And the automatic matchup-system would never pit you against them.

So if you want to have fun, get the game and don't be afraid.
