    Have not seen dealer of fruits play in a while.

    sigh, im such a nerd. I plan on watching SC2 games when the normal person watches football lol.

    I need to open a e-sports bar. Intead of basketball, baseball, hockey and football games on TV

    I'll have Starcraft 2, Counter Strike, DoTA, stuff like that with all the traditional stuff like beer, chicken wings and stuff.

    That's a great idea Vicious. I had a similar idea. But include terminals with the option for Xbox 360, PS3, or PC gaming and charge by the hour. Hold tournaments, etc. I think it would be hugely successful. Except you're better off not serving beer because you'd attract a lot of sub 21 year olds.

    If you happen to be in San Diego, evidently there are a lot of people meeting up at Joe's Pizza this Friday for the GSL finals.

    Also, take a look at the mana bar for ideas (if you guys are serious :p) http://www.manabar.com.au/

    just a reminder that today are GSL Finals
    Korean time is: @ 15:00 Jan 29, 2011 (Sat.), and you can watch them at the GOM Site with the gom player, or search for quickshot in justinTV, he has streamed every single game from GSL ^^.

    and just to burn time, how are you guys preparing for the finals, i will be buying a lot of junk for tonight, potato chips (classic here in Mexico), a 1lt or 2lt coke, some cookies, a zebra cake, and some chewing gum in case i finished my stuff before finals end ^^
    GO MVP!

    Ok, officially I'm retiring from ladder starcraft or any regular starcraft games. I like star battle and other mods, but I just suck and continue to suck at SC2 regular games. That is all. Good night.

    DUDE, dont be like that, of course you will loose sometimes, and dont worry about sucking on the ladder, is not like you will be going to mLG's or gsls's just practice like a bEEOTCH on the ladder, and if u wanna have an account that has a pretty good ratio, go ahead and buy another account, but that just stupid, JUST ENJOY the game man, SC is AWESOME don't quit ladder :/

    I've played 100+ ladder games and still am bronze. I just can't move quickly enough. I have to face facts that I am an old man and nothing I do will improve that, not to mention I can't dedicate much time to it. That's fine with me. I know what I *need* to do but I can never process quickly enough. That's why I am quiting and sticking with mods and stuff. Those are at least fun. Not making me strung out...

    I don't mind losing. That's fine really. I lose a lot in everything I do, but part of that is I don't have that competitive edge I used to, but as long as I'm enjoying that's fine. But ladder and regular SC MP just stresses me out. It's not fun. I haven't gotten very far in the campaign. I'll probably at least finish that. And do some occasional mod games like star battle. I enjoy that.

    Ok, this is about to start MAN, if u want to see the finals go to GOM site:
    GOMtv.net - GSL Broadcast, Video, Starcraft 2, Starcraft, Warcraft, eSports tournaments and then somewhere there there is the GOM Player download link, after u install it, go to the main site again, and up there, there is a Go Live button, then click on the SQ stream for free users, and log in with ur facebook account or make a new account.
    Terran vs Terran IMmvp vs MarineKingPrime.
    I hope we can se a base race and the most intelligent one wins like earlier on the GSL ^^

    Click multiplayer tab -> search game if you're wanting a ladder game
    Click multiplayer tab -> join game and pick the game you want if you want for non-ladder custom games.
    Click multiplayer tab -> Select co-op vs AI if you want a random team vs AI.

    If on selecting the multiplayer tab and nothing's there, there's probably a problem with your copy of SC2 and you'll need to reinstall it then.

    Or perhaps you've been playing in offline mode?

    If possible, please provide the screenshot of this "nothing" that's showing

    So funny because as a Platinum player I think what really put me in plat from gold was learning the hotkeys and not having to click with the mouse. Plus I always have a drink in my hand (usually wine or beer) just like that. I think they copied me for this poster.

    I guess I've promoted from the wood league to the copper league. Hey copper's not so bad. It conducts electricity and delivers water through my house... how bad could it be? Just don't mix the two...

    I usually have beer or wine in my hand too, kneeling on the floor with laptop on kitchen counter, not to mention a kid pulling on my pant leg and tugging at my mouse or headphones, and half the time my cat walking over my computer back and forth wanting to be pet or fed. I should record me sometime, I think it would be comical for people to watch.
