Saw this strategy on the post ur cheese/owned/funny SC pics thread, and had to try it out. But honestly, I can't believe I won with it. I guess the poor guy was just too intimidated.

I agree with Zapdos_Smithh, it would be good if you could give a quick summary of at least the build order/what makes it a cheese, so we could know what to expect, and then see the replay ourselves if we decide to take the time.

That would almost ruin the replay I think, but the strategy is basically do nothing. I use this build when my opponent tries to race switch me at the last minute hoping I won't see. I go to their base, build an assimilator and then run the probes in a circle, mining their minerals, then going into geyser to recyle to gas, then back to the mineral, rinse and repeat.

I also just won a ranked ladder game with this. So, I'm now 2-5 with this build. I'm truly speechless.

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WASTED MY TIME WITH THAT

and you are actually proud of that??

it's not a strat, it's praying that your enemy is an absolute retard, and decides to leave probably thinking due to lack of experience that you proxy gated him.

wtf are you doing.
seriously so tilted at this, it's unbelievable.

edit:

this has to be an alt used for trolling.
i refuse to believe you are an actual person.

uhhhhhh what

Seriously, I do not understand how you won that game, you stole his gas, had no probs mining and you kept stealing his gas and his minerals. You could've died to one probe killing your nexus.

Honestly, I have noooo clue how anyone could ever think of this strat, I agree with Etherone.

It's like trying to win like this. I don't see the point other than counting on your opponent being retarded.

The point is, its not a "strategy" in any sense of the word, it something I use when people try to switch races to confuse you at the last second. Its really a win-win. If you switch races at the last second, and want a serious game to help you get better...well I have no idea why you would want your opponent to start a totally wrong build. Presumably, you just want a win, so its not like I'm being a dick and wasting someones time who wants a serious game.

I merely find it amusing that 2 out of 5 times I have done this, the people have left the game, "giving" me the win. Most people simply laugh when they see what I'm doing and of course as soon as they kill my probes I leave the game. I can't understand why someone who is switching races at the last second to trick someone into starting off wrong in order to get easy wins, would leave the game when five probes are just mining in their bases not attacking anything, just mining from their minerals.
