Honestly, how hard is that though? That happened to me once though, except i dont' think he knew he lost. I forgot the fact reavers outranged sunkens =P maybe you too =P

Nah, i just kept figuring he'd leave. I ended up building 12 scouts tho

The game was "over" at 15 min but it took you another 27 minutes to finish him off? That doesn't sound like "over" to me and at lot of good comeback games first appeared like that but turned out to be totally different. Unless he was intentionally teasing you in chat etc.

BM every game. If you can get somebody to rage it probably throws them of more than you. It's all strategy.

Thank you guys, I hope you will enjoy another set of my blog writings as I really do my best to give community something back in return. Too bad I do this while I'm on my brake from job ( working for an IT magazine (gaming/computers magazine) so I don't fully get into it but that this is for atleast now good read.


I will continue to try integrate my deep toughts of connections between real life things and implementations of it in Starcraft to try help you improve if I can, also I hope you will continue to comment my blog so I can hopefully try to improve some things.

Sorry if there is grammar errors, I am very good english speaker/writer but I just don't have enough time to proofread it all

Thanks again and I will try to do my best in future for sake of community.

I couldn't care less tbh. I'm BM when I lose, because I hate losing. I don't mind people BM'ing me because usually that means I've won, so I'm content with that being the case.

The Caveman effect!


I wonder if BM people have more hair...


I like the ideas in the article, nice development of ideas and well written. :D
This might make some people think again about being bm.

I consider myself gm, and I usually don't care if someone is bm to me. (unless I'm pissed of at something else, then it may bother me)

Look at my sig.

Also, if you're mature there is no point for us to be discussing this, as this should be common sense and part of our unconscious.

However, not everybody is like this so we have to be telling them constantly, but better then having to tell them we should show it to them and not lower to their level. Getting angry over something that in reality is simply something that was created for the purpose of pure entertainment is rather foolish imo.

Thx for the read!

5/5 definitely true. staying cool when you know that you could get away with bm due to the anonymity of the internet is good self discipline.

A bunch of people ask for "bm" anyway. Im always amazed at the koreans who freak out when you leave and dont say gg and then wont re you. As if saying gg is some sort of law. I understand having gg for televised games because then its not like the person just randomly leaves. But online? Come on.


The way I see it, gg-ing is an act of maturity - accepting your loss like a man, and being clear-headed enough to understand that a defeat is a learning experience - yes, even getting cheesed, maybe even more so - there's nothing like a cannon rush to teach you to scout the ramp behind your base on medusa. The same way I don't like playing pool against a twelve-year-old brat, I don't like playing starcraft against people that behave immaturely.

Bm-ing when you're winning is just as bad, because as long as you're not Bisu or Jaedong, you're still a noob relative to other people, and being all cocky just because you're beating someone seems... well, immature again.

Overall, i see people that don't say gg after a game like people you know that don't say hello on the street - not something i'd get mad over, but definitely not a person that's worth my time.

if you play pool vs a brat you have to interact with them (assuming this is irl)

you dont have to hear someone bitch and moan on starcraft or watch their annoying habbits.
How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano
