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...

It sounds like you could make up anything on the day and win. How about some mind controll with protoss then rolling them with 24 BC's?

um...what exactly are you trying to prove? that you're so much better than a bunch of random sc players from your university that you can DA rush them or something? If I were you, I'd just play standard and save yourself the embarrassment when the 4rax guy steamrolls you with bionic when all you have is a scout and a dark archon.

I went to a LAN event that featured starcraft for the hell of it pretty much

I won. Hell, there were some ra3 players there. I beat them 1v5. Their amazing strategy was build 5 defense turrets before a barracks.

I've got experience in tournaments with people who have no clue how to play starcraft. My favorites:
Give them vision at the beginning of the game, and proceed to roll them. Be careful to remember that they'll be able to see cloaked units.
Mass BCs and nukes, and use the double nuke to take out CCs and stuff.
Depending on the opponent, mass DA into mind control army. Fails if your opponents simply mass cannons without any units :/
Probe recalls. You can fit quite a few probes into a recall if you stack them.
200/200 army for Protoss/Zerg/Terran via mind control. Preferable Carriers/BCs/Guardians/Devs/Muta. Had an entire computer lab filled with nerds screaming, and some kids actually whipped out their phones to take pics.
Floating buildings into base to attack.
Old pimpest play cannon rush.
Cannon slowpush starting at the middle of the map and slowly pushing in.
Mass arbiters.
Mass scouts.
And the list just goes on...


EDIT: Its important to note that most bad players don't actually understand that your strategies are making fun of them. So all that ends up happening is you have tons of fun doing retarded shit and they think you're really good and using cool strategies. Except for shit like visioning your opponent ofc.

i think 4 rax as in 4 scvs -> buidl a rax and not like constnattly pumping scvs bulidings supply at 9/10 then expadning then adding 4 raxes ggnore

just lurker/DT rush or something because they will probably be too noob to get detection, and if they do it'll probably be in such a bad position that you can walk right past it and into their main.

I say this because I agree with divino and fluffy. If it was just some LAN where you wanted to have fun then try doing cute stuff, but if you really want to just own them and win then I'd get straight to the point.

I'd say play standard and don't do anything stupid because if you seriously need our help to think up of funny builds then you're probably not that good...

Either way I hope you get your cocky attitude shoved back in your face :D

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 =.=
What's that probe doing there? It's a scout. You mean one of those flying planes? No....

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.

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.
