I guess it's just the realizition that I only beat a nub while I tought I was doing great. And I can't learn anything from such a game. I did a lurker backstab for instance, I don't know when it's viable exactly, and now I still don't. | ||

Why? Because it helps me learn to spend my money better, it shows me what I'm doing wrong and try to do it better next game. Then again, I'm D- and terribad, but thats just my view on it. Usually end up adding more rax to get moneys down and try to make up for terrible macro. | ||

Imagine the noob who says he can't survive 5 minutes unless he cuts scvs at 10 so he can get 2 barracks and a couple marines at his choke faster. He should learn to survive without cutting SCVs. | ||

Crutches like an unnecessary 6th hatch just impair you.

Straw man argument. Should I macro even If that means I can't burrow my lurkers? edit: You shouldn't be too focused on anything. I think at the D level we were playing at, he was too focused on his perfect macro. And yes he was too focused at it, i watched the rep and he never queued. | ||

I would try not to queue up more than 2 units (really that's ok in lategame if you're using bio tvz, micro is still quite important there - you should know how I mean that), and if there still is money left over I would add more production facilities. | ||

The point I was making is that you're trading long term development for short term success. Every time someone illustrates their point doesn't mean they're committing a straw man argument. You're committing a fallacy yourself anyway, by attacking what you perceive to be a weak part of my argument and then dismissing the rest as if it depended on it. Maybe consider retaking Philosophy 101  | ||
