From time to time you will encounter a good player (though many times bad) that will give you a pretty nice game until you start beating him up so bad that he lifts his buildings and hides them pretty much everywhere on the map, or, he can also sneak a probe or two and mass pylon the map for the sake of frustration.

However, I know that they do this because they're frustrated and felt bad about that humiliating loss and feel that they have to make the other player feel stupid as well so as to balance out the way they feel about themselves, and you.

In my case, I hate it, though I have to admit that I did this once, but then realized that it was actually pretty stupid from my part; I never did it again and just typed gg and left the game. Probably socialize with the player afterwards and let him know that he's a good player and maybe ask for advice which most of the times they're glad to spell out a couple phrases to you like "slow macro", etc. or even watch the rep.

This is what makes starcraft a good place to be, the mannered players ^^

I'm confused, did you think you had won but then were humiliated or did you humiliate him or what. Btw, my roommate played a 6 hour long "elimination" game before, so how long was yours o.O

I think he means like killing the opponent's natural and expanding all over the map and then suiciding all of his units to 3-3 mech to get rolled over and lose.

I played a game yesterday where my first 12-16 mutalisks wiped out this protosses entire tech and production other than his forge. I proceeded to get 6 expos and ultralisks just to humilate him, as he built about 12 cannons around his 1 base, and began rebuilding his main (also with at least 10 or so cannons). Somewhere in the macrofest of unlimted money I was experiencing I didn't build enough hatcheries and actually ended up losing to a force of about 40 speed zealots running all over the map killing my expos because I thought it would be a good idea to start massing ultralisks for humiliation rather than replacing the mutas I fed into mass cannons (I was eating lazagna I swear) or getting lurker tech.

Quite possibly one of the worst feelings ever. But everyone has games like these. You learn from them, and after it happens once, it won't ever happen again. Sure you'll be pissed when it happens, but you get better from experiences like these.

And fuck mech. 3-3 mech imba shit.
God Bless

The replay is too humiliating for me to post or talk about. It was a ZvP game. But yeah it's kinda like that mech feeling. It was soooo obvious I had it, then suddenly...

bummer dude. i played against a toss who i thought was just being a one base noob-- easy win right? i scanned, saw 2 cores, and instantly realized that there was NO WAY I WAS GOING TO LOSE TO CARRIERS AGAIN. i threw down mass barracks, pumped a shit ton of goliaths and marines, and rolled his carriers as they came in from his hidden expansion beside my nat (which i figured was okay not to check)

never stop mid game to get food! even if you think you've won!

Ive never lost a won game, I have however won a lost game. I'm the kind of guy who will fight you with scv's and a handful of rines in a mined out main base, when you are on five, and continue struggling to the brutal end.

It works.

Edit: You really know its working when the person who is "so" ahead stops badmouthing you and pleading for you to leave, hehe.

Or one time my opponent GG'd after about 40 min on nonstop fighting. So I leaned back in my chair totally relaxed, exhaled, stretched my fingers and suddenly I realize hes not leaving. I try and talk with him.....nothing. Soon I found him *trying* to rebuild his base.

Or, in another game this guy came into my "d/d- only" game and face raped me in 8 min. I checked out BWchart and saw his apm a consistent 350 throughout the whole 8 min of play. Then checked on iccup and saw he was a B level korean (in previous seasons).

Do it and I'll upload a rep of me getting triple nuked (or was it double nuked, or just plain nuked) in a 2v2 ;(

Seriously, put more detail into your topic, you can at least explain how embarrassed and humiliated you were and the way in which you became so humbled.

You're right. I do have no idea how bad this one was. And neither does anyone else who is reading this blog.
