      2v2 on US is borked. Me and my friend tried it, and in every game we've encountered a bot that left the game right at the start.
      AFAIK, it's been there for a while, and Blizzard don't do jack$h1t to fix it (of course they don't).
      So Adam & Jeff would have to move to EU for 2v2, I guess.

    The one thing I loved the most about this series was how patient Jeff was on Adam, he gave constructive criticism, kept up the encouragement throughout, and was really intent on helping Adam get a dub. Mature, authentic kinship right there.

    • @LifesAGlitchTV
      @LifesAGlitchTV  2 дні тому +10

      It's a challenge! Even at lower leagues, when players weaponize builds that are nearly perfected at this point a few seconds is an eternity. The time it takes for Jeff to explain what he'd like me to do, me processing it, then attempting to do it is often enough delay to give up possibly good positions that lead to worse outcomes.
      It was still fun, though! SC2 is nearly as "solved" as Broodwar at this point and so the fun of experimentation isn't there for me anymore like it was when I last ranked consistently all those years ago. I'm just not interested in essentially becoming a machine to perfect the first 2:30 of a given game so that the last 7:30 can be played out. Maybe I will for the hell of it again in the future but it's not as enticing for me since I like it when I feel like I'm still able to come up with solutions that aren't discovered yet. [Adam]

    Hey Adam! You did well, thanks for making the videos! Don't get too sad, its pretty hard to play and receiving literal instruction almost non-stop. The game is already multitasking, I think you guys make it unnecessarily difficult in this format. I think, if you would have just play this match alone, you would have win. My suggestion is: You can practice a little bit on your own off the channel, and then the next time just do a Maximusblack NOT literally says :)

      ​@@IAmNova Heh, I get it... this is actually why I watch your channel (and a few others) instead of playing the game. I love SC2 but never felt okay with devoting enough time to hold my own at a reasonable level.
      It was more of a hypothetical... if you were to attempt such a thing (possibly from boredom, having been confined to a hospital bed following some medical calamity), I think it'd be cool to watch.
      Not every game, obviously, but at least the high points.
      [edit]: this is now a scene in my mind where Adam is horrifically messed up from an accident, unable to get out of bed, his only escape the game of Starcraft that he plays between surgeries on a laptop someone brought him. Trying to support his friend, Jeff comes in and does commentary on the games: "this is where he really should've built disruptors." "why weren't your warp gates off cooldown?" "I guess you have some aversion to building probes? WTF?"
      finally just as he gets good after ten years, Kayla makes Jeff stop visiting him, and Blizzard shuts down the servers so there's just nothing.

    *You can also build nearly 3 probes with a single chrono so stop wasting it at the start
    **And stop the rally to gas just leave the rally and transfer 3 over so its done xx
    ***Ha and hot key your scout probe
    Enough. Sorry.
    I enjoyed it =)
    **Also, you didn't win a single game for placement.

    Look, no one expects NovaWar to be placing Masters right out the gate. It's a learning process. I'd just like to hear that he's excited to learn and he's putting in some effort be prepared rather than bragging about how he can't spare the time to play a single match outside "making content" (referring to previous installations). I have a hard time enjoying watching someone struggle with hotkeys when they could make the time to get past that basic hump on their own time.
    It's like watching a cashier be given the keys to open the store for the first time after years of mid-day service, of watching opening procedures be done, but they're struggling to get the key into the lock, then struggling to turn the alarm off. Worse, they're being micromanaged by the boss through the intercom so they feel too paralyzed to take initiative. I guess what I'm saying is that I was more interested in seeing NovaWar play on his own with some guidance rather than literal "backseat gaming".
    I get that's part of the LagTV brand ("we don't prep, we don't put an effort in, it's not that serious") but that's not an attitude that'll appeal to new viewers or grow the channel.
    I'm looking forward to the co-op campaign though!

      This is, for all intents and purposes, what most people wanted to see - me just throw myself under the bus for a few games.
      There was no universe in which I played a couple hundred games to get myself back to a place where I would go on a fresh account to have a hope of a few games going in my direction with the ability to remember to place all my Nexi on 4.
      We went with MaximusBlack *literally* says on game two (it was intentional back seating - he's supposed to literally tell me what to do as the format), we asked if it was the format people wanted, it was very well received and made the most sense in the context of what we were trying to accomplish.
      This series wasn't for new viewers - this was for old fans who helped re-boot this LAGTV run. Five videos out of 30 in a month won't bury us, and in fact we had the biggest new subscriber month in years in the last 30 days.

      There's also a stark difference between playing 4 games across 4 weeks in 8 years on an account with previous Diamond MMR on ranked ladder and someone who plays semi-regularly for years doing some of the stuff we routinely see on this channel LOL.
      I also to a degree found it more difficult doing this format where Jeff was directing me for everything because the time it takes for him to say something, me process it, and attempt it, is often enough time for things to have long gone wrong in a game where even in gold, 10 seconds is an eternity.
