Confessions of a DT Rusher

[image loading]
<3


Dear readers and fellow Teamliquiders:

I've been bottling up some guilty feelings inside for quite some time that I simply cannot hold in any longer. Some of the things I share here may offend some BW players and I realize I may make some enemies because of it. Nevertheless, the truth must out!

This past week, I began to play with some ideas for my 100th post and first blog post. Perhaps some of my initial thoughts of the SC2 beta? Or some comments on MIT's recent fall from the CSL playoffs? I laid awake a few nights ago racking my brain for a good idea for a post. When I fell asleep, I dreamed I had made a post so good that it was followed by page after page of "5/5"s and witty one-liners and relevant lolcats images. But every now and then, my dream was punctuated by a very familiar sound: the sound of SCVs dying. You know the sound. It's the squeal of the Terran worker right before it explodes into (what I considered) a pretty fireball. I woke up in a sweat, realizing what I had to do next. I took this vision as a sign of what my post ought to be about.

You see, before the SC2 beta, when I laddered iCCup much more than I do now, I came to enjoy that SCV death noise because I heard it so much. My PvT build (yes, my ONE PvT build) was a proxy DT rush -> expand, and because of this, I came to kill a lot of SCVs with DTs. I did this build every PvT, any map, any rank (except for a few proxy 2gate zeals on Desti, HBR, etc.). For those who want the details:

+ Show Spoiler [Proxy DT Expand BO] +

8 pylon
10 gateway -> scout
11 gas -> proxy probe
13 core
14 proxy pylon
16 proxy citadel
17 goon
20 gateway
20 proxy templar archives
22 pylon
23 2x DTs :D
29 nexus

Yes, I can recite this build from memory.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmdoXLf6VR0&feature=related
Woohoo DTs!


When I first crafted this build, I felt like I had broken PvT. It was so sneaky yet so strong! I lol'd at Terrans who saw my spinning core and thought they had me all figured out. I lol'd as they lifted their rax to do some cute push with a tank and some marines, letting my DTs run in and have their orgy in the T mineral line. Or even if they played pussy Terran and camped their wall, I quickly realized that 2 DTs kill a supply depot soooo fast! I lol'd as vultures scrambled to lay mines around their CC, only to have the DTs run up and snipe them, or else drag them right into the SCVs. Oh the joy of having a mine kill 10293809 SCVs, leaving the DT only half damaged! And the best part: the "you noob" or "wow so gay" that inevitably followed! (Or in the case of koreans, the disconnect.) I'm not gonna lie, I felt pretty pro with my perfectly executed build (not to mention my awesome hotkey spam). I could climb to C with PvT with great win rates, and I did so multiple times (after rank resets/making new accounts obviously), just to show how pro I really was. Of course, I necessarily had to dodge PvP unless it was a 2player map (so I could proxy 2gate), and LOL of course I just booted any Zs.

Whenever I heard a T complain about how easy P was, I'd shrug it off, keeping in mind that my PvT had its own set of difficulties as well! Just consider how much mining time I had to lose to send my 11 probe out to proxy! :O And think about all the time I needed to put into practicing PvT: whenever a new map came out, I rushed to single player mode to find the perfect proxy locations. Sometimes I amazed myself at how gosu my building placements could be (you should see my Python 12/6 oclock ones, they're soooo good). While Terrans practiced their "timings" and such, I practiced DT vs vulture mine micro and when to fake +1 air.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFZugJfMqdY&feature=related
Don't ever say that DTs don't require micro.


I held this mentality of PvT (and BW in general, I guess) for a long time. I knew that, for most players, even some blue ranked, I could do serious damage with the DTs and followup with a big ass 2base 6gate hanbang (assuming I didn't win outright with the DTs, which also happened a lot). I also knew, however, that there were those players that could just read me like a book, cut a few corners, get that turret up faster, and enter the midgame ahead. (Or for the Koreans, just 2fac vulture...) I was close-minded, though: I found something that worked a lot and I wanted to make it work 100% of the time.

It wasn't until the CSL that I realized I couldn't rely on these gimmicks outside of the ladder (especially since my replays were made available for the next rounds T_T). For example, though my proxy gates PvP worked 3/3 times this season, I'll inevitably come across someone who will simply outclass me and stop it. And I'd hate that. Though I did pick up a good build or two for PvP and PvZ just for CSL, I knew this was nowhere near enough to get me out of the niche I had put myself in and that I would definitely never get to B-/B unless I reworked my WHOLE game.

Unfortunately/fortunately (take your pick), the SC2 beta has stolen the limelight, so it would be a little late for me to learn proper play in BW. Instead, I'm committing myself to being a solid SC2 player. Before I had a key, I played some games against the AI, and within minutes I had a roach rush and a marine/marauder rush that could beat it 100% of the time. I didn't even bother exploring the tech tree, I just did the same build over and over, faster and faster. Though I've now had decent success with these builds on the ladder, I don't want to repeat my BW mistakes. Especially since SC2 is still in its infancy, I feel like I should be stepping out of my comfort zone, trying new builds/units, etc..

Put simply, I don't want to be the SC2 equivalent of "that cheesy protoss" in BW.

So where does that leave me? Well, as TL steps into this brave new land of SC2, I don't want to push my BW PvT transgressions under the rug. I don't want to leave BW with these skeletons in my closet. With that said, to all the Terrans of Broodwar, I ask you to forgive my poor nooby Protoss self. I'm sure there are plenty of you who have been been the victim of a DT rush TvP... hell I might have done it to you at some point! :O To you people especially, I'm sorry for the thousands of SCVs I ever killed with a DT. I'm sorry for the hundreds of probes I pulled away from mining to do the lesser deed of proxying templar tech.

I sincerely hope that, somewhere in their heavy metal, 3/3 hearts, the Terrans will be able to forgive me.

PS:

They say pictures speak a thousand words. I've tried to convey what kind of BW player I am through my little letter above, but that may not be enough. Below I've compiled a montage of images that I hope help to show my true self. Hey, maybe one of these players is you! (I've blurred out the names to save embarrassment. )

+ Show Spoiler [BWChart] +

[image loading]

And this is just my Autoreplay folder... and not even counting my smurf names... :S


+ Show Spoiler [Proxy Locations] +

[image loading]

You have to admit this is pretty clever. Not only does the SCV not see the tech via any standard scouting path, but I now know exactly where the scouting SCV is, which will help me time the fake +1 air! Amazing!


+ Show Spoiler [PvT Python 1] +


[image loading]

The standard response when the DTs are first seen heard.

[image loading]

Note the 38/80 health. This means the DT has survived a mine... whereas plenty of SCVs did not.



+ Show Spoiler [PvT Python 2] +


[image loading]

Once the SCVs stop trying to run away, you know the T is typing something at you.

He keeps talking and talking but I don't feel like taking more screenshots so I'll skip to the end...

[image loading]

?

[image loading]

He really does wait until his buildings all die.

[image loading]



+ Show Spoiler [PvT HBR 1] +


IIRC this was on USEast (don't judge me) and this guy was just randomly in whatever channel I was in. And before the game we were chatting about some stuff and I think we were even talking about high school or something (this was years ago), just talking. Then we play a game and I DT rush...

[image loading]

Needless to say I never heard from him again. Maybe this is why my /f l is empty...



+ Show Spoiler [PvT HBR 2] +


This was definitely on USEast because this T did his own BBS: bunker bunker supply. I kinda felt bad with my DTs walking into his base and half his SCVs were just sitting next to the patches not even mining. But anyway I eventually kill him/chase down his floating buildings, when he starts calling me a hacker and saying I rigged the map and such. This was probably his most memorable line:

[image loading]



+ Show Spoiler [PvT HBR 3] +


This was on iccup and he had a pretty 14-0 stat, or some other undefeated record. Which of course made it that much harder to believe I'd be putting him at 14-1.

[image loading]

He was korean if you couldn't tell.



+ Show Spoiler [PvP Matchpoint] +


I did my proxy 2gate. The other guy started making a shit ton of gateways and shield batteries so I just decided to run my zeals around and go DTs.

[image loading]

[image loading]

As he continues to comment on my bad play, my DTs run across the map.

[image loading]

After I kill his cannons/nexus, he ships all his shit to my base hoping for an elimination race...

[image loading]

[image loading]

Oh and btw, I checked after and it turns out he was B last season. Go figure.



+ Show Spoiler [PvZ Desti] +


This is one of those RARE PvZs I had to play in order to practice for CSL. And even then I do a really gay sair/reaver -> zeal/reaver hanbang.

[image loading]

If the other guy says 'gg' but doesn't leave for a while, you can tell he's typing something. True story.

[image loading]

I'll never learn starcraftr, indeed.

It's not severely inflated, more like, it's the only thing that got him to that rank, but the execution involved is still valid and still of that quality that his rank requires.

I voted for you being a disgrace. Not for your worthy and excellent and worthy and manly Dark Templar build, but for apologising for it afterward to those Terran crybabies.

Dammit, those guys have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR obvious ways of coping with Dark Templar. We can't go around apologising to them for using something with so many counters; if some terran can't be bothered to learn to use ONE of those counters properly and gets ripped to shreds, he should apologise to US for being so presumptious and impertinent as to sit on the same battlefield, pretending to be a worthy opponent to someone wielding The Only Unit That Really Matters.

You sir, are a disgrace. If you have any pride left, you'll spend the first few months of your Starcraft 2 Protoss career concocting the optimal proxy DT build.

I spent so damn long learning proper goon/obs reactive play and grinding through 20+ minute games, waiting for Terran to lose their last big push so they'd finally leave the fucking game, when I could've been doing this?

Goddamnit.

Haha I'm going to learn this build for fun games whenever I ever I go play bw again. As a protoss player I say that this is definitely very solid.

I voted for you being a disgrace. Not for your worthy and excellent and worthy and manly Dark Templar build, but for apologising for it afterward to those Terran crybabies.

Dammit, those guys have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR obvious ways of coping with Dark Templar. We can't go around apologising to them for using something with so many counters; if some terran can't be bothered to learn to use ONE of those counters properly and gets ripped to shreds, he should apologise to US for being so presumptious and impertinent as to sit on the same battlefield, pretending to be a worthy opponent to someone wielding The Only Unit That Really Matters.

You sir, are a disgrace. If you have any pride left, you'll spend the first few months of your Starcraft 2 Protoss career concocting the optimal proxy DT build.

This man has said what I was going to say in only a few paragraphs(I would have made it 2 pages long just for affect )

Please give me what I asked for in my PM! I need to learn this BO as mine sucks in comparison.

I honestly never ever feel bad if a protoss uses DT's against terrans (even if it's me). My mentality has always been that protoss has to do anything to keep terrans from getting to late game and accumulating that metal ball no matter what.

Some of those were pretty funny but wow you're such a dick in the 'PvT Python 2' game. Seriously anything you build or do in the game can never annoy me but when people type so childishly it does tick me off for quite a bit. Voted disgrace.
No I'm never serious.

Hey a couple DT rushes here and there wouldn't hurt. You can DT rush zergs now cause overlords don't have detection! And in SC2 and you don't even have to proxy gate. You just need a proxy pylon! Who cares if you cheese get to platinum it's just a game .

I made a blog like this but it was confessions of a clan killer; I ended up getting banned for my story. I mean, this guy DT rushes and makes people mad and stuff, but, I would steal bots and accounts and cd keys and ruin lots of clans and steal maps and make hacks and just talk smack left and right.

:/

Seriously though, apology accepted.

I have a new quote:

I could get a more coherent article by gluing a Sharpie to a dog's cook and letting it hump the page.
