    SC2 thread!

    Crazy action at GSL 2 lately!

    particularly some very interesting games from FoxeR (fake BoxeR) that went down.

    links:

    additional recent games: http://simple-night-21.heroku.com/view/1262#

    check em out. if you don't know yet, the thing about FoxeR's play is the that he pretty much only builds marines 90% of the time. and somehow it works.

    also don't be offended by the 'FoxeR' thing. apparently he totally endorses the nickname. :)

    i got yelled at for not spoiling enough last time :(
