    I'm looking for a high end Diamond rated 1v1 Zerg player to play against to practice macro/micro etc. We have a lot of toss and want someone who really can challenge us. If anyone qualifies can you pm me and let me know your contact name in SC2 so I can hook you up with me and some members of Team Cheese Factory. Thanks. :cool:

    What :( No way

    Farful's probably the best zerg around

    I'd say the only people who fits his requirement is probably Random1337 and Vicious. Maybe a few other guys I forgot

    I'm unranked not a diamond :(

    Resident Goldfish indeed.


    You know, sadly, I still haven't bought SC2 yet. Dammit, what's wrong with me.

    Haha I meet the requirement? I am platinum and have not been playing so more like gold or even lower now.

    I have been playing a few co-op games the last few days just to get my feet wet again and I had bronze players beating me on the score board :/

    Last I checked me and you Reizo where pretty even in skill, even if I did win all of our last set of games, that was in part due to luck and perhaps some explosive layden SCV's



    Go watch more Starship Troopers :D

    1. AS SOON AS YOU BUY THE GAME, GO PLAY STAR BATTLE.
    2. NEVER TOUCH THE REGULAR GAME AGAIN.

    Allcaps hack engaged.

    I couldn't tell you the last time I went on a 5 game winning streak.
    I could definitely tell you the last time I went on a 5 game losing streak :D

    (this means I looked at the first sentence of the top article, and stared at the Reizo-like looking kid crying and giggled)

    It's because I fear you. That's why I had to make up an excuse and decline your 1v1 challenge. I know that your control over the swarm would make my zerglings run away in fear. You're like the only person on NBR who has a winning record against me. And htwingnut. Well, now that I think about it, I don't think I have a winning record against anyone on NBR :(

    How are them just kidding moles, sir pudge?

    ht doesn't fit the zerg part. He's the god of marines.

    In fact, who in NBR is actually a zerg player? Vicious probably leans towards protoss. ht's a terran. I thought you're a zerg user farful o_O

    Im thinking of starting to main Zerg, I think its my fav race.

    Of our 1v1 Games I think I won most as Zerg.

    I just hate to give up that random player status, its pretty rare to see good random players and it effectively gives you 3x more to do in the game so it wont get boring to me as easy.

    Despite how you hated to play me as Terran I hate using them and consider it my weakest race. In reality though looks like maybe Protoss has become my weakest race even when I was by far best with them @ release when they were my main.

    P.S. I am the god of lost viking, thats my best SC2 talent :D

    Yeah your zerg was... Dammit <_< Too strong for me

    I'm leaning towards making protoss my main though apparently I'm improving my terran. Zerg, still my worst.
