So my brother, who's in college, loves Easy Mac. He eats it 2 meals a day (cause who eats breakfast in college, right?), and it's a total mystery to me how he doesn't just get completely sick of it.

We were both home for Easter Break and since we both were lucky enough to have beta keys, we decided to play some 2v2. Unfortunately, I could only get to gold with him cause of his weird as hell playstyle. I told him early on that the secret to winning at low levels was just to make more units than the other guy, and he took that advice to heart WAAAY too much. He'll just send his units into battle with zero control and when I look over his shoulder, he's always at his base, macroing. Invariably his army gets owned by storm or colossi or infestors.

The only exception is when he cheeses, which he does a lot. No one has ever BBSed me in a game as far as I remember, but my brother seems to think that it's a solid strat in 2v2. It's so frustrating to have to 10 pool zergling rush every other game. We're struggling to stay above 1000 in our gold division.

Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you macro only and cheese.

The Easy Mac part sounds like my roommate, frankly, I find it absolutely disgusting.

If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.
