Instantly reminded me of this..
Interestingly enough I don't spend all my life obsessing over this game, I just enjoy playing it/watching it (and other web content such as Revision3 or twit.tv) more than watching conventional TV. I haven't watched TV seriously in weeks, and I probably won't until the NHL is back!

Best quote so far "Time to kick ass, then sit back, and chew some bubble gum." -Tychus as he launches a nuke from the Odin.

I am in Diamond 1v1 and 2v2 for Zerg... they are by far the most disadvantaged race in the game. Terran has it easy mode, and protoss come a close second. Not only do Zerg lack units... we need to be creative to defeat a terran that is simply attack+go with their mmm/siege ball.

Ya... I tried playing zerg for a while, and they definitely are very difficult to do well with.
I like the roaches though. It's lulz when your enemies don't completely wall off their entrance, and you just move a bunch of burrowed roaches directly under their SCVs.
Also, the ranking system makes no sense for online multiplayer >:U. Why do I lose more points for nearly defeating an enemy than I do for getting completely owned....

From what I can gather, being steamrolled by someone clearly means they were a better player than you. You shouldn't lose a lot of points for being completely outclassed, ie if you're mid-level gold and you play a top-level platinum for the matchmaking system to see if you're ready to be promoted.

Goddamn I'm so ****ing pissed off. So I was in this game for a whole hour (my ally randomly left at the beginning) and I was actually owning the other team so hard with my pretty much unlimited supply of battle cruisers.
Then the ****ing game crashes RIGHT as I was about to win, and it was counted as a loss (-17).
The ****tards at blizzard should allow me to get back into the game IF I return online within the alloted 1 minute or so that it waits for me.
