I hate this. Every game I have played today has been an all in sort of play. Around 15 games I have played and i wanna say 13 have been all ins. Why do people do this on iCCup? this shit has me so pissed off that I cant take it anymore. Str8 up games im decent. When a game gets to endgame I do well. I believe not all in I can reach C+/B-/B but all ins at C- has me stuck at D+/C- level and Im sooo pissed off and I cant take it anymore. UGHHHHHHHHHH can there be a not all in section so that skill is shown by iccup level, not how well some1 does an all in. UGHHHHH i fuckin hate this. VENTING ARGHHHHHHHH

Just because a lot of top foreigners cry about all-ins/cheese doesn't mean you should do the same.
I watched a livestream a week ago where the streamer got cheesed hard 4 times by the same player and lost 3-1. Did he complain? No, to him it were 4 games no different than 4 macro games.
It was the most beautiful thing I've witnessed.
Why can't you be like that?

Everyone complains about cheese on ICCUP, but I haven't noticed that many (I don't consider DT drops all-ins, as much as I hate them). Sure I run into the in-base proxies, enough that when I scout and see a gateway inside their base, I feel relieved, but it's not like the majority of the players I play cheese

As for why people do them: Have you considered that they may be B - A level players that don't wanna waste 15 minutes per game in the D ranks, so instead they choose strats that'll take a lot less time? Not all B players want to spend days playing D rank players

Play the game as it is, not as you imagine it to be.

You kids must be doing fucking ridiculous strategies or something, because I never get allined. Like 1% of my games are allin. Play safe and scout well.

there's a reason you can't stop allins at a low rank level (you're not good enough)

edit: i challenge you to post a replay pack, i doubt you will though

edit2: the very fact that you said "i'm C+/B-/B" shows how ridiculous a claim this is, do you know how great a variation it is between those three grades? the skill jump is insane. you can't just throw out "oh i'm one of these three ranks" its like someone asking you how old you are and you replying "i'm 20/30/40"

Allins are generally not blind. They'll scout you out and go "he's weak to X, I'm gonna do X" and then go allin with that. Which is sensible because doing it halfassed would be utterly pointless when they know what they're doing. Nobody in their right mind is going to go "I could kill him with a timing attack now if I make units but if I kill him with a timing attack now I'll still only be on 2 bases when he types gg, I better make a few less units and take a 3rd, just to be safe". That's really, really counter intuitive. These players are better than you and they're killing you because you're a D+ player and not very good at Starcraft.

Yeah, I never get all-ined anymore (mostly in PvZ) because I keep my scouting probe alive long enough. No zerg in their right mind All-Ins against a protoss who knows how to scout well.

wait... what? please explain how you continue to scout when the zerg goes 9pool speed (fairly common opening, personal favorite as well). also share how you figure out which of the following all-ins the Z is using after you've lost your probe.
- 3 hatch speedlings
- 2 hatch muta
- 2 hatch hydra bust
- 2 hatch lurker drop
your probe is guaranteed to die before you can see which of those the Z is going. you could also cannon up like a madman and prepare for all of them (4 at front, 2 at natural, 2 at main) but then you're behind when the zerg doesn't go all-in. i'm not saying its impossible to counter the all-in but your statement about no zerg going all-in against a "protoss who scouts well" is ludacris.

I was just venting, I played LastShad0w well in the Northeast Lan going 1-2 and he is B+/A-. Play a good game against IdrA too. I believe not all in I can reach B yes but it probably isnt true. I get so flabbergasted when some1 all ins and i mismicro, i forget to cut probes etc etc. Some1 B- or better wanna do a test I will play a str8 up game in a bo7 and u throw in a couple cheeses and find out. and that challege for the rep pack is on i will post a rep pack. give me a couple minutes to do it tho.

Also rip into me all u want Im actually very mannered (except to all ins xD) and take constructive critisim well

You have to see it from the perspective of Proberto, OP. If you don't like games of incomplete information when you can be "all-ined" you may enjoy a game of complete information more, such as Chess.

Strategy advice if you do keep playing StarCraft, is to analyse your replays and start looking for holes in YOUR gameplay. If you're getting all inned all the time, it's probably because your opponents are seeing weakness and exploiting it. Like Chill always says, play safe and scout properly If you're getting torn to shreds by all-in's, I'd guess you're playing too greedy (which would explain why you think you're so good 'straight up' as well).

you should try to start a trend of everyone on iccup being able to defend all-ins. Then people will be encouraged to play standard because all-ins don't work anymore. =P

if I see that he's getting speed I'll immediately throw out a second probe and hide it somewhere in the map. and if it's a map like destination where you can easily find out where his 3rd is, I'll try to catch if he made a 3rd hatch somewhere. If he's staying on 2 bases then you can be pretty certain he's going an all-in of some sort, although they could just be doing some weird build order (in PvZ).

I'll usually play a safe defensive game, since if the zerg doesn't do damage with any of the above build orders you mentioned, then he won't be able to keep up economically into the mid-late game.

you send out a second probe while your 1st probe is busy running around in the zergs base to a hidden location, then sneak it into his base again after his lings are away at a good time to see what hes up to. Also

-3hatch speedlings you did see a 3rd hatch going down and when your 2nd probe goes in you see alot of lings..:p I hardly ever see this anymore though, i guess because wallins are better now
-2hatch muta u notice his gas timing and if he makes a 3rd hatchery or not..if he starts mining gas again right away and does not make a third hatch...hm..
-2 hatch hydra bust same thing xcept that he will have a hydralisk den + a few hydras when your 2nd probe runs into his base
-2hatch lurker drop pretty much the same thing as 2hatch muta, you counter it in almost the same way as well

Basically if you see a 3rd hatch going down you will not have to worry about anything threatening your main base until after you have scouted with your 1st corsair or zlot rush. Your wallin may need a few additional cannons though if he does 3hatch ling or hydra break, which you find out with your 2nd probe. If he did 2hatch, your 2nd probe will see the difference so if its lair tech u need 2 cannons in your main + corsairs building and 3cannons at your nat. add another in your main and another in your nat after your corsair finishes as money permits. This will prevent any kind of mutalisk attack killing your main, or allin muta/ling attack killing your nat. (assuming you have zlots at your nat to help out as well) A 2hatch lurker build is defended pretty much the same way, with slightly different cannon placement, and a followup of robotics instead of citadel. Sair/reaver is the most effective build against zerg cheesey play because it gives u corsairs w/ 1+(rapes mutalisks, good scouting, can intercept drops) reavers (good at defence sitting behind cannons) and obs (nullifies lurker drops w/ the reavers.) 2hatch hydralisk is defended by making 1000 cannons at your nat and teching to templars.

Scout? Pool first, be smart.

Of course going pool first will negate a bunker rush, but you're seriously not going to pool first every single time you ZvT, and even if you do scout a bunker rush sometimes it kills you. It happens.

you send out a second probe while your 1st probe is busy running around in the zergs base to a hidden location, then sneak it into his base again after his lings are away at a good time to see what hes up to. Also

-3hatch speedlings you did see a 3rd hatch going down and when your 2nd probe goes in you see alot of lings..:p I hardly ever see this anymore though, i guess because wallins are better now
-2hatch muta u notice his gas timing and if he makes a 3rd hatchery or not..if he starts mining gas again right away and does not make a third hatch...hm..
-2 hatch hydra bust same thing xcept that he will have a hydralisk den + a few hydras when your 2nd probe runs into his base
-2hatch lurker drop pretty much the same thing as 2hatch muta, you counter it in almost the same way as well

Basically if you see a 3rd hatch going down you will not have to worry about anything threatening your main base until after you have scouted with your 1st corsair or zlot rush. Your wallin may need a few additional cannons though if he does 3hatch ling or hydra break, which you find out with your 2nd probe. If he did 2hatch, your 2nd probe will see the difference so if its lair tech u need 2 cannons in your main + corsairs building and 3cannons at your nat. add another in your main and another in your nat after your corsair finishes as money permits. This will prevent any kind of mutalisk attack killing your main, or allin muta/ling attack killing your nat. (assuming you have zlots at your nat to help out as well) A 2hatch lurker build is defended pretty much the same way, with slightly different cannon placement, and a followup of robotics instead of citadel. Sair/reaver is the most effective build against zerg cheesey play because it gives u corsairs w/ 1+(rapes mutalisks, good scouting, can intercept drops) reavers (good at defence sitting behind cannons) and obs (nullifies lurker drops w/ the reavers.) 2hatch hydralisk is defended by making 1000 cannons at your nat and teching to templars.


A good player isn't going to let a second scouting probe in, thanks for the advice though.

wait... what? please explain how you continue to scout when the zerg goes 9pool speed (fairly common opening, personal favorite as well). also share how you figure out which of the following all-ins the Z is using after you've lost your probe.
- 3 hatch speedlings
- 2 hatch muta
- 2 hatch hydra bust
- 2 hatch lurker drop
your probe is guaranteed to die before you can see which of those the Z is going. you could also cannon up like a madman and prepare for all of them (4 at front, 2 at natural, 2 at main) but then you're behind when the zerg doesn't go all-in. i'm not saying its impossible to counter the all-in but your statement about no zerg going all-in against a "protoss who scouts well" is ludacris.

if I see that he's getting speed I'll immediately throw out a second probe and hide it somewhere in the map. and if it's a map like destination where you can easily find out where his 3rd is, I'll try to catch if he made a 3rd hatch somewhere. If he's staying on 2 bases then you can be pretty certain he's going an all-in of some sort, although they could just be doing some weird build order (in PvZ).

I'll usually play a safe defensive game, since if the zerg doesn't do damage with any of the above build orders you mentioned, then he won't be able to keep up economically into the mid-late game.

What level of Zergs are you playing that they don't look for the hidden probe? Even the guide on TL tells nooby Zergs to make sure they do that. There's literally no point in a Zerg getting speed if he's not going to prevent scouting. You can't just say scouting is easy against really bad players... Everything is really easy against really bad players... The counter against a good Zerg player is to get the minimum defences you'll need against an all-in, and deal with the mid-game (if you didn't get minimum defences against all-ins, and the Zerg doesn't all-in you'll win basically every game because that puts you so freaking ahead, so don't act like it's some huge disadvantage to get adequate defences...)

Really... Zerg all-ins are just reactionary to a trend of cheapskate Toss players

why do people act like allins arent "real" games, last i checked starcraft doesnt differentiate between a 30 minute macro win and a 5 minute 4 pool, a win is a win.

Defending all ins becomes easier and easier as you keep getting smashed by them. My first days on iccup I got all inned quite a few times, however, this in itself forced me to scout like a madman and think about any and all clues that could let me surmise what the opponent is doing. After awhile, it became pretty normal, and I did that in any random iccup ladder game and it made me a better player. If you can't get decent information because he opened 9 pool speed or something, always be safe rather than sorry (add cannon if needed). Send 3 zeals out as well and you can use those to score some drone kills and/or scout ling numbers/any hydras. There's a reason why going in all the time doesn't make you a better player, because they can only work so many times before better players that have learned to defend them start appearing.

Yeah, not to add onto it, but it doesn't look like you really even belong at the C- level... of all the C- players you faced (20), you only won 2 matches.

You seem pretty manner so far so not trying to discourage you and venting is fine and dandy, but you could definitely be more humble about it and not overestimate yourself so much.

I can post a rep pack of all my matches at C- im sure 70-90% are all ins xD.

Actually I slightly fractured my wrist but it doesnt effect my game ( so I think ). I just enjoy playing games that arent all in oriented. Hopefully this bo7 can redeem myself or show me that i shouldnt be saying shit like im that high of a level. This will prove to me what I am as to iCCup ranks non-all in vrs all in. Either shuts me up or gives me something to brag about. Lookin forward to it.

then send a zlot to harass one way and your scouting probe another. I have managed to scout plenty of B/B+ players this way although i dont know if you consider that good. I admit trying to scout vs an A rank zerg w/ speed would be extremely hard, but not impossible, but the main idea is to keep sending probes/zlots to keep him running around his base(s) as long as possible and prevent yourself from getting ling contained.

The ability to fight well against all-ins is a skill that if needed to become a better player. No good players have gotten to where they are now by just saying "oh poop, there goes another game to a cheeser". They got better at scouting, reacting, and thus winning against all-in attempts. I usually use the mindset of while training on ladder, I'm "preparing" myself and my builds to be more fine tuned for clanwars and nationwars. This includes trying to make my games last as long as possible, getting better at all aspects of the game, and playing safely against suspicous things.

People will cheese you on ladder, clanwars, everything. I don't usually get upset when a fellow teammate will cheese me in a practice match, because that's just part of the game. If you don't constantly think about the factor of all-ins, you will fall behind when it comes time to actually use the skills you think you have. I hope that made sense, didn't really make that much sense coming out of my brain, just kind of free-balled it.

Many Terran? In fact, I don't recall that happening to me.. ever.. on iCCup as Protoss.

And I don't really see how you wouldnt be able to scout that by the time you have 3 fucking goons.

Ignoring the flamefest that was the past two pages...
The problem is that you're trying to define skill level to only include games you define as "standard." The thing is, a huge part of skill is experience and game sense - knowing how to react to every dumb strategy people throw at you - something you clearly lack. You know how many legitimate B players lose consistently to all-ins by D players? I can't think of any. As much as I commiserate with you - as much as I hate all-ins, they're a part of the game. Progamers do them all the time. They're something you have to learn to deal with. So, in short, your current rank is your correct rank. By the way, there's no way you can extrapolate 31-13 C to be a solid B rank, much less <50% D+. Once you hit B+, NOT B, with or without cheese, ONLY THEN can you call yourself B rank.

Skill level is as expected, D+ish. He loses to allins because he can't wallin. When you see his HBR wall you can't not runthrough because it's really kinda bad. He doesn't know to check mining through which is just a basic thing you have to do. He can't keep scout probes alive.
Given he can't scout and he can't wall I really cannot blame people for allining.

i like it when people allin against me
although i hate playing the people who are really good at both, like dinot, where you dont know whether hes gonna zergling allin, hydra allin, 2 hatch muta or power after starting with 9pool speed and to some degree you're just forced to guess

but as for just playing iccup ladder, I generally prefer playing opponents who try some sort of "allin" cause well you just gotta defend

I also feel the term allin is way overused tho, a lot of people seem to regard for example 12 ling runby as allin when it's not even remotely close..

Chill's loss was because I kept egging him on to properly allin, drones and all. My bad.

I thought it was a bo7 ' - 'a

or are they just playing all seven games?


Bo7 = First to 4 wins

Thanks for that, I was oblivious to this fact!

I respect you but I mean who gives an estimation of their skill level with 3 grades that are almost worlds apart?

The gap from C- to B- is amazingly huge and if you really were B- straight on, you would have the skill to scout and fend off an all-in.

I'm feeling the D+ to C- gap already and I dare not say that I'm C- straight on games. How much more C- to B-.

You missed the key component, which was noobs who baselessly talk themselves up. If you saw the games there was a huge skill disparity between us, and I am B-, and he's claiming to be able to reach B, when he has a ~40% win percentage at C-.

I don't have VODs I don't think, unless the magically recorded on my mogulus. Here's the reps:

Game 1 Destination: Chill goes 9poolspeed, and sends his 7th or 8th drone to mine out the backdoor. The guy scouts Chill's build, and also notices the drone mining out back, and the drone dies to cannon fire. He pulls out like 4 probes to block the way. However, due to some abysmal building placement chill just runs in with 12speedlings, kills one of the cannons, backs out, breaks the nexus, then just goes in and kills the second cannon and the guy taps out. The probes did pretty much nothing.

Game 2 Heartbreak Ridge: Pretty much the exact same as the first game. Chill goes overpoolspeed, sends his 7th drone to mine out the backdoor, except this time the guy doesn't bother to check the backdoor, and his scouting probe just went to the nat to chill to block what he assumed would be an overpool expand, but the probe never saw the gas go up -_-. He then proceeds to make another abysmal wall with the cannons just out to bare, blocks with like three probes or something. Chill then makes a proxy hatch up on the choke ledge in the Protoss base and just runs his speedlings through the backdoor. Guy taps out.

Game 3 Colosseum: Chill 5pools, and they both scout each other on the first try. Guy immediately makes 2 cannons in his minline, but Chill starts sunk rushing him while double expanding. The other guy tries to break through with zealots a couple of times but it's futile. He gives up after a few minutes.

Game 4 Colosseum: Chill goes 9poolspeed (I think it was) vs 2gate. After a bit of a scuffle where both players lose their initial army, Chill gets a few probes, the Protoss gets a forge, then a core. Chill goes 2hatch muta. Chill kills a scout, a sair, and like two dragoons, but he loses 4-5 mutas, but then the other guy suddenly thought it would be a good idea to ram all of his zealots into 4 sunks with 2 extra sunks on the cliff. He loses all of his zealots and manages to kill one sunken. A bit later Chill drone drills with almost all of his drones and fucks up. The other guy just macros up and kills Chill a few minutes later.

Game 5 Medusa: Chill goes 9pool into 4hatch lair -> hydra den. He gets lurkers early and spits at the backdoor temples. The other guy goes 2stargate, then throws down a robotics, so he tries to go sair reaver. When he scouts the lurkers hurling spines at the temples, he throws down SEVEN cannons. Chill tries to go up the backdoor ramp with a couple of hydras but when he realizes there's way too many cannons he just backs out. At this point the other guy puts down three more cannons at his front choke, but Chill just picks up his lurkerhydra force with his ovies and drops them in the Protoss main, killing everything inside. The corsairs do kill every single overlord on the map shortly after though, to his credit, except everything else went wrong so it didn't really matter. There was one reaver guarding the nat nexus, but a couple of hydras just ran in, sniped it, then ran his lurkers in and killed almost all his probes. The Protoss tries to harass with reavers but he only gets a couple of drones and gets shooed away by hydras. He also tries to take a secret expo. A bit later Chill breaks his nat and he taps out.
