GIGABYTE GGcUp SenioR No22


GGCup is the most reputable StarCraft II tournament in Turkey with a huge prize pool. Diamond, Masters and GrandMaster League Turkish plars can participate in this tournament. As a Diamond League player, I am at the bottom of food chain, but it will certainly be fun to attend this tournament.

You can find details about this tournament in www.ggcupturkiye.com . On the other hand, you can be informed about upcoming GGcUp OscaR and SenioR Cups by joining GGcUp group in z33k (http://www.z33k.com/groups/ggcup).

SUPER 15

If you haven't watched this great StarCraft II video, then it is time to do that. Certainly, it is the best video I had ever seen, related with StarCraft.

Season 6

I lost the placement match of Season 6 and placed into Diamond League again.

Because of the heavy work load, I couldn't find a chance to play StarCraft II that much in these days.

I do not want to put extra effort to be placed into Masters League in these days. I will try my chances on annual leave and learn some extra build orders to develop my macro skills.

Sleeep vs YIGIT

Sleeep is considered one of the best Turkish players in StarCraft II. In my opinion, he is the best!

I had a chance to play custom game against him two days ago. We were located at close positions in the Shattered Temple map.

At the beginnig of the game, I thought about two gating him, but then decided not to do that to such a pro gamer and enjoy the game a little longer. After seeing his overlord lord getting out of the base over my gateway and cybernetics core, I decided to place another 3 gates to southeast corner of my base and go for 4gate build order.

As soon as he scouted my additional 3gate, he tried to mutate his 6 drones into spine crawler but actually, he was too late.

I managed to take down each spine crawler one by one by the help 2nd warp-in close to his expansion.

It was one the most glorious moment in my amateur StarCraft II carrier :).

Edit: Right guess! He was certainly off-racing :D

7RR

After getting Tassadar avatar, I played a couple of games with Zerg.

In these days, I am trying 7RR build order out. I looks like 4gate of Zerg. It is very effective in early game and after executing this build order, you even have a chance to expand without having a huge disadvantage.

Here is the build order:


  • 10 vespene geyser
  • 9 drone, cancel geyser
  • 11 overlord
  • 11 pool
  • 15 vespene geyser
  • 16 queen
  • 18 overlord
  • 18 roach warren
  • 18 overlord
Send 3 drones to geyser as soon as it pops out. Inject the hatchery as soon as Queen pops out and transform 7 larvas into roaches (around 04:45).

After killing opponent's army, you can focus fire supply depots or pylons to cut supply of opponent.

En Taro Tassadar!

My zealots and stalkers fought against the enemies of the protoss in countless battles.

At last, together with them I achieved to unlock Tassadar avatar.

En Taro Tassadar!
