Hyun's Roach Build

I took a look at my win rate percentages this season. I’m doing horrible. Sure my Toss play still looks halfway decent. But my Terran play is terrible. And my zerg play is even worse.

I blame it on the map pool. I kind of hate blizzard now, for letting us pick the map pool. It would have been fun for lols for a week, maybe, but they’re assholes for keeping it this way. I think it’s pretty clear that every starcraft player would prefer to play on the same maps that the pros are playing on. Instead we get metalopolis. It’s insane.

To deal with these new maps, I realized I needed a new build. I found it on imbabuilds.com. I use Hyun’s quick roach build. Basically you 15 hatch, 17 gas, 16 pool, 15 overlord. When the pool is done, you make two queens and continue to drone up to 28/28 supply. Then you make a Roach Warren, three overlords, and burrough research. When the roach warren finishes, you max out to 51/52 on roaches and attack. Often times, it can win you the game. It wrecks 4 gate attacks. It denies naturals. It’s a fantastic build, and I don’t know how I survived without it.

In the World of WarCraft, I met up with an old high school friend yesterday. We visited each other’s Garrisons. That was a first for me. It was a bit difficult, figuring out how to do that. You have to be in a group with someone else to do it. Then, when you right click your portrait, you have the option to visit the group leader’s Garrison. I see this being the new way for guilds to meet. Because for the first time ever, we now have easily accessible and private spaces. Having your own castle is great for cybersex, too.

My friend was mainly concerned with doing stable quests. I didn’t know that when you do enough and upgrade to level three, you get 120% speed on your mount. Which is awesome, don’t get me wrong. But it’s more of a grind. And it’s a grind I don’t really want to do. I finished all the available raids yesterday, too. The Wall raid was really quick and easy.

In summary, I’m very close to canceling my WoW subscription. Probably, I’ll come back after they release a few new raids. Until then, I have to work on my micro to win that StarCraft tournament.
