For some reason I can never read Mark4's text. It's always black against a black background which I have to highlight to see. A problem on my end (netscape) or does everyone have that problem?

I liked the old Mark4 [pouts]. The one with the text reports. But the new one isn't so bad.

Yeah, Mark needs to start his vs Ducky reports again. Those were the best.

Cool report. None of those witty comments Bob had said made it into the report.=[

Dyslexic_Zealot, netscape is your problem. I can't back that up of course, but I don't like Netscape, so it must be your problem.

I thought really good players were too gosu for carriers ...
#10 [HS]Persian[28658]
proxy1-external.rdc1.az.home.com
Umm...goon/carrier is good on land and carrier/sair is good on islands. Carriers are the most gosu units of them all!! I think the thing that's bad is cannon/carrier, but I may be wrong.

Thanks to Johnny for posting this one for me. I didn't know if I'd have e-mail access where I am now. I didn't put in any BoB comments because he reserved all his witty banter for sparring with Dudey in the main channel and said mostly stupid stuff all game. =]

As with all my reports, netscape sucks ass. It doesn't support the table stuff I use, so it all looks black. Suck it up and get a real browser.

I hope the TAO guys like this one...so I can get us invited back for the next tourney. It was a LOT higher paced than the i2e2 tourney with the smaller time frame. I'll be posting for reporters if they ask us back.

Carriers are nice and mobile for islands, but kind of late game. Takes pretty good recon to stop all forces with carriers.

Nice report.

Nice report Mark. I unfortunately had to be out of town for that tournament, and seeing a report from one of the games was a real treat.

Ya, I especially enjoyed having the breport crew work along side us regular refs. They provided a lighter atmosphere in an otherwise tense tournement, which saw an x17er win it all :o Looking forward to seeing more tourney reports.

Poor Mark4. How many of us raters didn't flake out on you, anyway? =) Ah, but who really wants a text report of a tourney game? Actually , my excuse is time.

Oh, yeah, relevance. Was it just me or did Mark have just a bit of a Protoss bias =).

#17 Fox^1[28692]

Great BR Mark, wow carriers are just insane on Islands. Well I mean just any protoss unit is insane on Islands. Hydras was the way to go, though.

Maybe its just me, but im having problems when i download that banner. It keeps sending me to this gay white screen saying the page cant be displayed, and givign these tips like adjusting my browser settings. Is this my browsers fault? Or is the banner gay.........

Carriers/Corsairs rule most island games simply because they are the most mobile attack force for cost, add speeded scouts and arbiters later and not much will touch them... Arbiters can increase the mobilty tenfold once you have 2-3 and recall that fleet around, leave an arbiter at home and when trouble knocks just click the hot keyed arbiter, click recall, click carrriers...

Too bad Khalsa didn't have defilers... plague and darkswarm would have helped him with those carriers.

#22 shockwave[28716]

I wonder whether scourge would have helped? They're always the braindead solution whenever a Toss player doesn't bring enough corsair support.

Hehe Khalsa was just trying to copy maynard and only use drones and hydra :)
Still he did good to get so far :)

I think I'd better explain some schtuff here.

1) Netscape is a real browser. You people just like using IE-only crap, and I hate you for that. :-P To fix it just hit Ctrl-A or (for you Macintosh people) Apple-A.
2) That "white screen" crap happens to me on every browser I've used, so it must be a problem with the actual banner. So far I've used NN 3.0, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and IE 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0, and they've all dumped me to the white screen at least once.


#26 Ioti[28725]

Extension to "1)":

If you use Windows, or have one of those toothpaste Macs (iMacs), more than likely you have IE on your system, so if you have a problem, just go over to IE if you really want to see the report and Ctrl-A hurts your eyes. That's what I do. About ALL I do with IE, actually. Other than that Netscape ownz. :-P

ummm... I don't get it. He picked zerg on islands? I hate to sound as if protoss own all (which wouldn't be a bad), but usually toss wins on islands, with the exception of Maynard's zerg.
#30 [CAT]Willzzz[28737]
pc210.cc.rhbnc.ac.uk
Yeah well he's played with Maynard enough times to make it work, he's beaten a lot of good people with the same strat.

is there a url for tao-of-gaming?
#32 [28800]

In my opinion, Khalsa had a very viable strat for a zvp 1v1. The only problem was that he didn't force the drop in the early mid game. If he got speed and then spread 4 overlords of hydras out in a line and just went for his drop, he would have lost a max of one getting to the protoss main.

Then when he hit the corsair tech tree would have weakened his defense to the point he wouldn't be able to resist.

#33 Tariq[28856]

Zerg can be very strong on island but you cant look for a early hydra drop you have to do what zerg does best and expand like a whore with hydras containing, then simply power to the tech of your choise.

#34 [CAT]Willzzz[28874]

Did Khalsa double or single lair???

Given the timing of the sair, and having evo as part of his build, it smells like a 3 hatch single lair to me. That and Khalsa having 40 hydras really fast.
