Btw: I am watching the lone star clash right now. Can someone explain why everybody loves Stephano so much? He's arrogant, he has nog respect for his opponents ... trashtalking them in-game, *****ing about them in te interviews ... He's just an ******* who is a disgrace for esports.
Just my 2 cents.

it's just funny that a local commercial about a sexual-enhancement drug came out with a slogan (somewhere along the lines of) "however razor sharp the blade is, eventually some day it will rust"

I found some great new Appollo tutorials on playing zerg, including the hotkey setup etc:

@ Snelan: I'm not a cheeser thank god I hate cheesing. I know its part of the game but i just don't see why someone would pull this crap. In the lower league it's the only thing some of the players do ... every game. And as soon as they encounter a decent opponent who can hold it off they have no clue what to follow it up with.

At those leagues it's (and even into masters) it's not always the opening that decides who is ahead. A better executed 14p 16h against a Terran will edge out a badly executed 15h 17p any day, and keep in mind that a 14p 16h is probably the worst opening against Terran.
Also, remember that against an FFE (Forge Fast Expand) you can take your third a *little* bit before you are comfortable. This is because they will also be focusing mainly on econ too, so under normal circumstances, you should just see a stalker and a zealot to harass the third. Queendralisks and lings can clean that up. Keep in mind that most toss' (not saying you) like to try to pull stupid crap all the time to get free wins because they don't feel like doing their already-cheesy 2 base all in. So watch out for early voids if you see an early gas on the third (around 6-6:30 gas timing), or sometimes they will just not drone their nat and try a modified 4 gate.
