I realize that with popular players like TheLittleOne, Day9 and Tasteless playing random, and playing quite competently in competitions with it, a lot of people wish to play random as their race to develop their skill set with all of the races, but are struggling to keep up with the exponentially increasing skill of the platinum ladder.

Through playing the high platinum ranks, i've noticed most of the high plat random players all play a particular style that leads them to success, in order to share this knowledge to the lower ranked random players who are struggling (much like i did with my TvP flow chart in a previous blog), i've made a simple flowchart for playing random and how to reach the higher ranks with it. Enjoy!

And before anyone says it, yes these flowcharts are made to vent frustration after losing games, and are meant as a light hearted joke, not a stab at all random players ^^

I play random, and I approve

Although I usually play on this fear and do really economical builds instead, 1rax FE, 15hatch etc

from my experience proxy 2 gate is terrible in pvp, because the other guy can just chrono his gateway while throwing down a 2nd, or even 3rd. he will have so many more probes, not to mention tech/gas advantage, that unless you kill like 10 probes it's not worth it

8 pool is better than 6 pool in zvz. it's not as all in ish, and you can get a queen and still build a crawler on his creep. if he went 13 pool your lings will get there when his pool is 75%, with crawler building

tvt cheese is a lot easier to stop because they can throw down bunkers ez since they can be salvaged. just play straight up and abuse medivac drop

all matchups other than zvz are a lot harder to cheese. if you try proxy gate or 6 pool vs terran that's easily stopped by wall (unless you build gates in his base). against protoss even if you kill half his probes with 6 pool you will still be behind in terms of worker count, and he can chrono zeals to stop more lings. marine scv all in gets blocked by force fields, crawlers (which any competent zerg should see), and as mentioned before virtually free bunkers. just play normally, he will have to scout earlier which gives you a slight eco advantage in the beginning

Lol what's even funnier is that each race basically has another set of cheese for those random players . Cannon rush, 6 rax reaper, baneling bust!
