So, remember my first blog? Well, my friend and I are going to get a chance to embarrass some people at a LAN party at this university hosted by some tools. I know they're tools because they hosted a tournament that my teammate won and I got third in. Temamate is good, but at the time I was like a 40 APM Protoss who knew only two builds: 5pool & DT rush. And I got third... And that was only because I messed up my assimilator timing in the semis, or I would have got second. I'm a bit better know, and esspesscially good at 2v2. And these guys suck and are assholes. So, we're trying to figure out good builds to beat them with. Right now, we're considering Stove into Dark Archon mind control recalling their SCVs, mass scouts, and double nuke rush. Oh, and infested terran rush. Any other good ideas?

Oh, and just to prove these guys suck, one of them is a terran whose standard build is 4 racks... and another is a zerg who doesn't build his first overlord until after he expands...

No offense to you or anything, but you seem like a tool yourself if you're going to talk like that. Good luck being the jerks =.=

Invaluable knowledge if you're trying to fuck with a player who's worse than you.

Where can I find said FPVOD?

Man I hope you get rolled over, your kind of play doesn't make other people enjoy a game that we should all love

In my experience, the average complete starcraft noob who has no intention of practicing a bunch and getting to even a D level on iccup has more fun if you handicap yourself one way or another rather than raping them straight up in 5 minutes. I mean, if you attack them at any point they are probably going to die, so why not delay that attack so that you can mass BCs and give them a chance to build up.

so.... you want to do this in hopes that people who might want to enjoy this game wont, so that there are even fewer sc players in the world?

i dont even know how these people are tools. they're tools for hosting a tournament that you and your teammate placed high in?

Because from the sounds of it, that isn't the intention at all, but rather the goal is to humiliate and destroy an opponent who is believed to be completely inferior.

Don't get overconfident. You'll make a mistake at a bad time, someone will take advantage of it, and then the humiliation will go in the complete opposite direction.

Why do you want to humiliate people, anyway? Wouldn't it be more fun to play against people who you actually have to try to win against?

Don't go stove, they won't realize it's a crappy build. You should go for stuff that looks impressive as hell. Nukes, lockdown and yamato cannons, or recalls and mass storm. Hallucinate a ton of carriers and watch them shit themselves

No comment on your motivation for doing this

edit: oh also stasis, that pissed me off to no end when playing fastest

Horror gates, see all the posts by Kwark in this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=108646&currentpage=4#66 forget all the mindgames stuff and just do a manner pylon with your 4th probe and make two gates in their mineral line, success pretty much guaranteed if they're as bad as you say. Just keep the probe alive so you can make more pylons if needed.

Anything that is completely alien to those players is going to give you an advantage, no one at that level expects you to build stuff in their base in the first few minutes. As Terran you can float buildings into their base and make an army there, run some bats/vults into their mineral line and enjoy the carnage. Even works vs otherwise decent people if the rest of your build looks normal enough.

If you are Zerg you need to know some rules: bad Protosses die to mutas, bad Terrans die to lurkers.

5 scout with zerg, and build a hatch in your foe`s main and sunk him.

Reaver builds rapes noobs.

BBS ftw!!!

8 gas, 9 rax, 9 ref, 2 factory at 12, vult and mine.

Probably you suck, but anyway, i want to see replays.

it doesnt really matter how you beat them. When i was a complete noob stuff like bc's and nukes in pvt was standard, but nowadays if i lost to nukes it would be embarassing. The point is if they don't know enough about progaming to realize they are being huiliated by the "stove" or "nuke rushes" or w/e then it really doesn't matter to them.

I mean when i was a 40 apm noob i massed up about 30 scouts to fly in the back of my friends main and take out his nexus and he congratulated me on such a good strategy lol. we didnt know better.

so if your just looking for fun then just do whatever you like, mass some infested terrans or something play around with mind control or all the spells you normally wouldn't use.

go dark-archons -> mind control SCV -> make a bunch of siege tanks -> recall the siege tanks into the enemy base WHILE the tanks are still sieged
