Man HotS is gonna be fun to watch
Viper unit for Zerg is going to be the best thing ever
But Battle Hellion looks megadumb and removing Corruption for Corruptors is stupid

[Syobon]

I'm worried about the Replicants copying SCVs/Drones, could create some imba army mixes late game + mules are OP. The new siphon ability for corruptors seems worthless. I don't get the new Terran hero unit, but idk. If Vipers' Eye thing is a once per viper thing, mobile detection will be too costly for Zerg.

when is heart of swarm comin out?

[Syobon]

That's still to be announced.

[Reubo]

oh hey i love starcraft!

i'm not sure if i'm buying heart of the swarm, because i don't give a shit about the story mode and i only play for the multiplayer.

so i think paying $60 for new multiplayer units would be kind of a bad deal for me

however, i'm looking forward to having the tempest. i have trouble dealing with muta-heavy zerg armies and phoenixes are incredibly single-use...

also mass recall for nexuses (nexii?) sounds so awesome. not gonna miss the mothership at ALL

[Chaossebba]

I barely play this in 1V1, me and 2 friends usually faf about

I usually tend to be a troll with ghosts or random race and just power it into ground/air forces while my other 2 bros cover the things I'm not good at killing.

We are not very good at this game

[Reubo]

haha, i love big games like that. i usually mass phoenixes and use graviton beam on everything

[Syobon]

So does anyone watch casts of progames and big events from time to time? Anyone watch Day9?

[Shad]

I'm subscribed to AskJoshy (I enjoy his style of casting) and LAGTV (I like the cheese).

I watch some tournament streams from time to time when I hear of them and I don't have anything else to do.

[Reubo]

oh my god, LAGTV is hilarious, i was watching the episode where a protoss player tried to cannon cheese an empty base and i was just shaking my head so hard

i want to get into day9, i heard he's really good but i don't always have the time to watch streams

[Syobon]

Day9 archives all his videos. I don't know LAGtv but from the sounds of it you may enjoy the Funday Mondays

[Reubo]

well i mean i hear that day9's videos are like an hour long

that's not too bad i guess though

[Syobon]

Yeah, I don't usually watch the full length video anymore myself, unless it's a really good one. They're split into 20 minute parts.

[Shad]

Any good channels to watch 2vs2 replays/ casts?
