Re: Ask me SC2 questions
Ultralisks now have a cleave attack which does area of effect damage. They are pretty snazzy.
If you have watched any of the korean pro games, ultralisks are actual a staple of the zerg army, particularly against terran.

Wuuut? You're diggity? I was just listening to the podcast between you, moletrap, and teargas earlier today at work. Currently the only commentator I subscribe to is HDStarcraft from sc2gg, I'll be sure to subscribe to you now.

Re: Ask me SC2 questions
Why were you so bad at NS?
Also, is it still a clusterfuck trying to pick out individual units?

1) I kick butt at NS
2) yes it can still be difficult to select individual units in a large grouping.

Is there really no lan play option?

I meant more like being able to count units quickly, seeing a caster in the middle of a bunch of other units, etc.UCSDCanonfodder wrote:1) I kick butt at NS

Re: Ask me SC2 questions
Ohh, Canonfoder = Diggity.. makes sense now.
Does the game still have a world editor for easy custom maps and game-types ?

Re: Ask me SC2 questions
Yes, it will have a map editor. It will be better than the WC3 map editor. I'm sure Blizzard is going to try to support the custom map scene as much as possible after seeing the success of DOTA and such.

diggity: i've been watching a ton of commentaries lately, from greth, cholera and moletrap and i have to say yours are my favorite. not because you have Old Friend status but because you seem like the most thoughtful, you make the fewest mistakes, and you aren't insulting to the players like the other guys often can be.
one thing that i rarely hear that i think would add some character to your commentaries for new players like me is to explain/predict opposing strategies to what you are observing. like if a dude is sieging with 10 tanks, i'm wondering what the normal response to that would be? or when someone makes a mistake, what they SHOULD have done instead. something like
bisu has chosen rock, usually the best move for that is paper
boxer has paper, bisu will probably start working on scissors
bisu is working on scissors, i think the best counter to that is to make some rock
etc.

Tasteless and SDM at GomTV are really good about that. You should check out their commentaries as well.

Re: Ask me SC2 questions
i like watching the same game done by different people. in one game the commentary will make a big deal about something and in the other game they won't even mention it
can't find them on youtube, link plsTotal Newbie wrote:Tasteless and SDM at GomTV are really good about that. You should check out their commentaries as well.

Re: Ask me SC2 questions
I agree, though I don't think this should be combined in your regular commentary, but maybe start a different series of reviewing some of your favorite matchups and talk about how they countered whatever it was.joe wrote: one thing that i rarely hear that i think would add some character to your commentaries for new players like me is to explain/predict opposing strategies to what you are observing. like if a dude is sieging with 10 tanks, i'm wondering what the normal response to that would be? or when someone makes a mistake, what they SHOULD have done instead. something like
