My tournament experience wasn't quite so good. I've no idea why but I couldn't seem to play like I can at home. My fingers felt confused and my mind kept trying to second guess itself. I lost a game I really shouldn't have after 100 terrible decisions and forgetting to make any units and didn't make it out of the first group even though I was top seed in it. The atmosphere was good though and the venue/people really nice.
Just watched the first game. That mass drop play is so frustrating. I find it really hard to know how the game is going in those types of games - even if I'm holding off the drops well I don't know how much damage I'm doing by taking them out compared to the harass damage. Going to be pretty hard after those emp's
the second and third were almost unnecessary. Even if you only lose just the forcefeilds or just the storms or just the sheilds it would still be nasty.
You and your proxy robos.. ^^ That second game was always going to be pretty tough after it got scouted. I'm not sure how much your economy was sacraficed for it but losing it alone that early is pretty big. Overall though pretty balla stuff. Really good drop play defence. Seemed like you split your armies with the exact right amount each time.
From the commentary on game 1:
[I don't know much about the players...]
"But they definitely have to be pretty good to start advancing to the round of 16 ... and I hear sterling is pretty good..."
. I also learned the benefit of bringing your own keyboard and mouse, the keyboard I played on didn't make much difference but I had to use this old, small mouse that was a little strenuous to use considering I have large hands. After I finish my take home exam I'll definitely check out the cast and hear the rest of what they had to say.
I'm especially disappointed I didn't think to get MarineKing early on, I'm a fan and I still believe he could make Marines counter anything!
