started playing on the ptr today to test out the new maps. they range from average to terrible imo. if you want to see a good game on what i think is the absolute worst map out of the 4 new maps , and without a doubt one of the worst maps blizz has ever made, check this out: http://www.sc-replay.com/replay/17-07-11/1...VS-thEhOOd.html

replay has to be opened in ptr btw

Haha, he deserves it. I can't stand when they put a pylon in my natural or trying to block the ramp with pylons.

lmfao this is great

i wonder where strategy stops and cheese starts. Apparently he's fed up with you building a hatch in his base but building a pylon where your natural should go is okay.

its' fairly common for protoss player to try and block a zerg natural with pylons and even gateways, but the funny thing is is that judging from his opening it looks like he was going to 4 gate me

proxy 2 gate
I expected him to have air because of the forge in his base so I tried to get more queens and made spores incase of dt's.
pushed in with a bunch of roaches/hydras. He went robo as well which I think is kinda funny considering his air made me consider getting hydras.

"yeah you are" comeback of the century

even though you clearly stomped the guy, one thing i'd say that your drone saturation was really bad. because of that if your attack had failed it would have turned out pretty bad for you. but thankfully he didn't really probe up either. you guys hovered around 30 workers the entire game. ideal drone saturation for 2 base is 44 (16x2 + 6x2)

[Crabarms]

Yeah I pretty much went all in that game but I was hoping he was more at a disadvantage with having to remake 2 warpgates and his air superiority not able to do too much to me. I also didn't want that second base to be up and running for a long time. I guess I sorta treated it like a 4 gate and probably not the best way to go about that. I wasn't expecting that many zealots early game destroying my stuff so I went overboard with making stuff to defend the bases and was for a second overwhelmed when I had to pull drones to attack his zealots. That time when he was harassing with air I probably could of safely droned up after poking again with a ling.

[rtil]

yeah, not scouting a 2 gate proxy can cost you a game. i don't remember how you scouted in that game but if you see a lack of units or buildings and time keeps ticking there's probably a proxy going on somewhere. especially if theres' no gas. but toss can sometimes be really unpredictable.

[Crabarms]

I still played pretty bad in this game, I tried to fast expand but a terran put an engineering bay in my natural so I opted to steal rtils famous hatch in a base technique.

[ 1 mins ] Crabarms » gl hf

haha nice

you do know spinecrawlers outrange bunkers, right? just by a little bit, but they do

I tried to play some of the new maps that are entering the map pool next season through custom games, but had trouble finding people. I fought a guy and stomped him and then checked afterwards to see that he was bronze. It's kind of pointless to test them if you can't fight people at least close to your level.

Well either way I wouldn't be surprised if season 3 started soon

[rtil]

it starts july 26
