Me and Echo are at 8PM.
I fear my whole not playing for a few weeks thing might hurt me a bit.

Passa vs Echo, 09/09/10
Passa 1 - 2 Echo.
First round went to me, rather unexpectedly! Second two went to Echo. GG mate. 
All 3 replays are in the zip there.

Lol didnt mean any offence man, like I literally have never seen your posts before

Your last post was 4 months ago which I probably missed as well..
IT"S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE A NINJA SAMBOY

Thanks for the replays and commentary there Pudding.
Front page has been updated showing all results with most of the replays/commentary, and also includes the first week's results on the ladder.
Late entrants to Shadow Wave and Samboy who are set to join the competition, and have set up a time for tomorrow night at 8pm. Still after some colours and units from you guys to add to the ladder.
Awesome to see that people actually got things going, all the matches were played out basically four days after the first weeks draw was put up. If most are playing a bit regularly, I'll put the next draw up immediately after the previous week has finished, and after a month or so we might get an overlap and take 3 weeks to get 4 sets of matches going or something like that. Going to take an eternity at this rate.
In regards to the commentary, it's going to be a bit much and unrealistic I think to have commentary for every match. Thanks heaps to RedFrogs for pretty much providing commentary for every single match, even though he's not even a part of this forum. Denny and Red were talking about providing some sort of commentary alternative but we'll see what pans out.
Great to see everyone getting involved though, waaaay more spectators for all of these games than I thought, really intensifies the matches that you're in, especially if you're playing, had a few mind blanks during my games tonight because of it  Not even going to mention the Terran match.
Bring on Round 2! and 1000 posts!

Grats mrcool!
I cant wait for round two of matches. I spent an hour this arvo listening to the commentary from last night (didnt need to watch the videos, the matches were still fresh in my mind) and I think I learnt quite a bit about my usage of terran.
Though in my defence, I think I read/watched (may have been a husky/hdstarcraft vid) where they said a supply depot is better instead of a mule, but after reading around a bit, apparently that just isn't the case..
Having spectators and a commentary really give playing a match that extra bit more fun. Thanks to Denny/Redfrog for their commentary the other night, loved the openings

I got vent now, so if there's ever a game on when I'm not working, I'll hop on and do a bit of commentary. It's wouldn't be like Denny's, more along the lines of a football caller.

1. My pleasure
2. While I think it would be unrealistic to expect commentary from the experts (Denny/Myles) every game, I think almost every game could get some degree of cometary given that anyone can really do it, such as Passa vs Echo today, it was really just a bunch of us talking while watching the game (at points talking more about the better commentators than ourselves haha).
That said though, if a few games go without commentary it's no big drama.
Actually I'm looking forward to seeing how much effect the commentary had on everyone's play style when we get to next weeks games.

Yeah mine too, I have better timing now and when I do get void rays i charge them properly. I've also adjusted my build order slightly to match up with what I've been told it should be and it's helped immensly.

got my league ranking from 24 to 10. Still get supply blocked, as i always forget to build pylons. I just need to learn to use hotkeys to get around the map instead of scrolling for clicking the minimap.
Also, is it better to focus attack, or just free attack? half the time when I focus attack i either dominate or get dominated.

Really good question that can have a very long answer.
Focus Firing is extremely useful in certain situations, yes. Attack click is the general thing you want to do, but say for example, it's a Protoss army and they have specialist units such as a Sentry. You want to focus those sentries down asap assuming they're already in range (NEVER FF something that is running back, your units will just run through death), as Sentries can Forcefield and Guardian Shield, which are big spells that can do big things in a battle, so killing off the specialist support units can make a big difference.
But the most important thing when attacking is positioning. If you have a giant ball of Hydralisks and attack on open ground, try and get the Hydra's to get into a concave position, as this allows them to all get shots in and maximise DPS. Terran bio balls are similar as well.
Also try not to fight in choke points. Unless you're using that as a means to funnel melee units such as Zealots and Zerglings, you usually don't want to be in a choke.
Quite a lot more stuff to know when you're attacking, but those things are some of the more important ones. If you ever notice half your ranged units stuck behind others and not getting shots in, pull back and try get better positioning.
