Well that was quick. The match, mind you, the episode itself was a pain to release now that I’m back in Florida. Enjoy this cheese. I do want to apologize for the audio levels in this episode, I’m still situating the new set-up back at home.

Now for something completely different.

I decided to do a special on StarCraft 2 hackers, how much they suck, and how you can beat them. That’s really about it. Tales of map hacks and warping Immortals. Enjoy. I apologize for sounding like a fucking robot.

Sorry that I missed a week, but I blame today’s youth. Today we have ESCGoody (profile), a very respectable mech-based Terran player, against oGsUniden (profile), a very infamous Protoss for those who watch Day[9].

Couple of notable things tor this episode of GxCraft. First of which is that the GxCraft overlay (or GXUI) is about done and implemented in this episode. It serves as the scorecard and the name display. It also will display player data near the beginning of the match. I will explain the UI through this informative little picture.

The second bit is just that I’m still trying to solve the lag issues. It seems to be regarding the power struggle between FRAPs and Starcraft II. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d like to know. Regardless, this is a very odd game to watch, you don’t often see a mech-heavy Terran fight a colossus-heavy Protoss that transitions to heavy-carrier with Mothership. Let’s check it out!

Really big names playing this time. We have IdrA (profile), of the team Evil Geniuses, a legendarily good Zerg player with legendarily bad manners, against the Canadian Dynamo HuK (profile) of Team Liquid, well-respected Protoss across the board. This game has been cast many other times for the exceptionally good gameplay and the infamous controversies of the players themselves. For those who did follow MLG Dallas this year, “Hallucinations” are the only words you need.

But enough of that, we have three games to get into, so lets get started.

Welcome once again, this is the second co-cast between me and Kauhar, so lets get right into it. Today we have a mirror matchup of Zerg between MeYera (profile), who is a very esteemed Master-class from the EU, versus mTw’s Dimaga (profile), who is a high-ranking Grandmaster who is legitimately famous in Ukraine, and legitimately Internet-famous everywhere else. With many tournaments under his belt, Dimaga plays a mean game of Zerg versus Zerg.

Also, I want to point out that though Kauhar is more confident in commentating in this one, this game responds to that by having a quite the lag for the first act. Our apologies, we blame running Firefox in the background.

Alright, today we have an engagement between DRob (profile), a moderately-high Master against StrAtiGY (profile), yet another moderately-high Master class. Not only does this match take a dramatic turn, but it has banelings! Banelings, banelings, banelings!

Also, this and another cast, I will be joined in casting by my good friend Kauhar (profile), who also wants to go into shoutcasting. So yay. Enjoy.

Today we have a fairly good game between the butt of a pencil and a man known to the world as Mr.Russian. But seriously, it’s a pretty high profile game from the european servers (despite me saying anything of the contrary.) Let’s take a look at the combatants today.

The Red Zerg, represented today by a man named EraSer (profile), is a high leveled Master class in the EU battle.net. High-leveled enough to participate in the ESL even! Neat!

Meanwhile, the Blue Terran today is presented to us with another high-level Master named Kostoglotov (profile), who also played in the ESL. Seems easy enough that these two would fight then, looking at their ranks at the time, they’re literally 2 ranks from each other, though probably not in the same division.

Lets get this shit started, shall we?
