Changing race… again.

Well I felt like I wanted a change and I always enjoyed playing zerg so yeah swapped playing to zerg again, and the usual issues arise, I have no timings down at all and I get some ridicules losses.
A few examples:

1: A Terran tries to bunker rush me builds 2 bnkers and 4-5 marines come I manage to pick off the majority of the lings before they could enter one of the bunkers the other bunker did not finish and completely shut it down could without taking any drone losses or even building to many lings.
Then I drone up HARD and as I a teching for infestors 2 drop ships comes in drops 16 marines and I die.

2: A Protoss does a stanrd 6 gate 1-1 timing and I have absolutely nothing but 1 hand full of lings I even think I did a decent job of having lings around the map but he must have had a probe out somewhere on the map, and I got wasted.

3: A Terran does fast 2 factory 1 reactor play and I shut it down cold and I assume he expands after it, needless to say he did not and at around the 9-10 min mark 4-5 tanks marines and the hellions comes rolling in and im not at all ready for it just gotten my third up preparing for going into mutas. Again only having 2-3 spines and 2 queens and 1-2 handfull of lings.

Most of my losses really end up in silly stuff where im like ohh god had I only scouted better I wouldent have had any troubles what so ever.
I guess that’s the huge thing with Zerg and I feel like I actually jut need to play a lot to figure things out, I think my macro is decent (Except for overlord production I really need some kind of way to remember to build them.

Hklan conclusion,

I where at a lan last weekend and it was as always quite fun I ended up in what I would describe as the worst group in the group stage but still diden’t manage to get though ended up getting 8 and 6 pooled and my responses to it where all wrong (at least I figured out how to handle it afterwards!

Anyways getting 3’rd place in my group meant I ended up in the B Tournament, in the quarter finals of the B Tournament I ended up playing a guy called Euph and I took those games 2-0 without any real problems.

The semifinals where BO5 and I meet the Guy: Snovski he was in probably the toughest group and Ia master player so I ended up getting demolished 3-0. did some timings but it all ended really bad. he went on to take 1'st place in a 4-0 final.

In the 3’rd-4’th Place match I ended playing errorTayler a Diamond protoss player as I am a protoss player it would be a BO7 PvP and really I coulden’t be bothered with that so decided to Change race to Z so we had ZvP.


(playing the 3'rd/4'th Place match)

I Ended up getting behind 0-2 and felt like this would be a quick 4-0 loss. But I managed to get back into the game and with some crazy mind games / all’ins / other stuff from both of us it ended up being 3-3 and we were ready for the final game.

It was set on Tal’darim alter and it pretty much started out as a standrd game Zerg fast expand vs Forge fastexpand, I ended up going for an ninja expansion in another starting location rather than destroying the rocks / taking the 4’th as my 3’rd and it ended working out pretty well. My opponent prepared for an 2 base zerg all'in and while I secured my 3’rd I send in a nydus worm to his main and while a bunch of lings went for his mineral line I tried pushing his expansion, but the expansion were locked down pretty tight, my lings however got quite a few probe kills, but more importantly it gave me time to drone up at my third and get an economical advantage i went for raoches with burrow as i dident see an robotic facility adn infestors as well this completely smashed his army that hit a few minutes later.
After that attack where demolished i had complete map control i took down his third adn teched for broods to close out the game and i won 3'rd with a 4-3 win!

i Ended up winningthe Razer "sc2" Mouse nothing big but always fun to win something.

Sc2 - Lan Tournament

I Am going to A Sc2 Lan tournament this weekend and i think it is going to be quite fun (those kind of things usually are), I don't have any expectation of doing good both since i haven't played alot and the other competetors are really mostly high master so that is going to be a bit trouble some trying to compete with them.

I Might (if the internet conn alllows it try to stream some, but lets see.

I Am looking forward to seeing everyone and have some fun and hopefully learn a thing or 3.

FFXIII-2 Complete

Ok so i had the list of games i really wanted to play in 2012, and well i can already cross one off as completed no, and that’s FFXIII-2 the continuation of Final Fantasy 13, and although these kind of games aren’t for everyone I enjoy some parts of them immensely Especially the graphics and esthetics its just so great to look at the colors the landscapes the details and off Couse the cinematic scenes.

I do however have quite a few things I didn’t like about the game, the combat system is what it is its FF and I don’t really expect anything else than what I got although I think you could do it so much better/more fun.

The story is really good in some parts and some parts is really cliché and it even forgets to end a lot of story lines.

The pet system is pretty decent but it somehow feels like a bad way to get around having more than 2 charecters, 2 charecters really felt a bit too thin and made it get kind of boring I really like the way FFXIII did it pherhaps not as many playable characters as but more than 2 is a must (imo)
The difficulty / pace of the game: 98% of the main story line was extremely easy battles you really diden’t have to think much (when comparing to, let’s take the Odin fight in FFXIII the sequal really was way to easy, except for those 2 percent where its just really really annoying due to randomness and not having stacked your char’s/monsters with enough Levels.

Having to find stuff on youtube: well I don’t normally have anything against this, but in this case it actually affected the main story line some objects you actually had to find to complete the game and they where extremely hard to find so youtube was a must to actually complete the game at all, as I said I don’t mind having to youtube if I am going for some sort of achievement or being a completion’ist or something like that but for the main story line? That kind of bothered me.

Also if you can play though this game and NOT get annoyed by the moggle I salute you oh lord the voice for that character is so freaking annoying, KUPO!.

Anyway even though most of what I wrote was negative it was still a good game and I had fun playing it, and can deffinently recommend it if you like FF games
