StarCraft 2: The Command Center DISAPPEARED?! (Viewer Games)

[@DanStaal]

Vikings make sense: He knew Alt would make an air unit to hunt the other base (since he wasn't hunting it on land), so Neil wanted to be able to handle an air army. (Which worked - he took out the Voidrays pretty quickly.) Then he just didn't need to think about it to make more - they're fast, they were killing everything, no need to make anything else.

You're going to see some crazy sh*t... I think it actually gets worse in silver/gold than it is in bronze. One thing I've noticed is that if someone is chatty, they're almost definitely trying to distract you from something, and if someone says there's an 'emergency' and they're 'going afk', but not surrendering, they're actually trying to max out on carriers.

[@FenekkuKitsune]

That was just painful. Doesn’t matter if you think you know where your opponent is, vision is important! A single unit, one you’re not using, sent around the map can save you from cheese, or something game-ending. Don’t have to check often. Check if you think your opponent is cornered. Check if nothing has happened in a bit. Check if your opponent doesn’t gg, etc etc I don’t play versus, I don’t like SC2’s PvP (or most PvP in general) but even I know that vision is super important.

@@aventus1177 maybe because he didnt know how many voidrays the enemy had. i mean he buugalooed him whos to say he cant be boogalooed back? so just more vikings as "i dont know how many eneys are there and how many vikings i loose" and i personally really like the viking, so maybe he just also thinks vikings are neat
