Against Team Dignitas' Apollo. Can anyone PM me some tips, some replays, anything, really need help studying up on this guy, and there isn't too much out there. Does he still play terran, or has he actually transitioned to zerg, etc...

I was a Command and Conquer player as well. lol. The CnC ripping on here is hilarious, it's all from people who were never great at CnC IMO. Formerly 6th in the US at Red Alert 2, it makes this and interesting first match.

How would this build fare in TvT if you built one scv with your initial 50 minerals and let your other 6 mine from the main while he was building, so while the cc is floating you can make a rax and a geyser at the gold base, so you would be able to quickly make marauders or reapers as soon as the cc lands?
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Yep. Everyone who bashes on CnC is doing it because they were bad at it.

Ironically everyone who thinks CnC was a good game deserves to be bashed.

Worry about your own playing, not his. And the race he signed up with is in the thread.

How would you feel if you were trying to get into a fighting game, and came from another background of another fighting game, and everyone bashed on your previous game, despite having no credentials for that bashing to have any weight. Where is this whole "my game is bettar than urs" crap coming from? Can't you just find it reasonable to agree that being top 10 at any competitive game during it's prime in a country is difficult and requires devotion and training, and some sorta skill? Now stop derailing my blog assholes.

Actually, I haven't heard of this, I quit after Yuri's Revenge since YR was incredibly imbalanced, care to fill me in?

Clearly I am proud of having been a good player at a game at least once in my life, and it was relevant to this since he is an actual former pro at a cnc game. Clearly you are just going off topic in my blog again.

Sorry, I've been insulted by every single person on this place about command and conquer, it's a little frustrating you know? How is it that so many people get frustrated about Starcraft being looked down upon by pokerplayers/fpsgamers/fratbros but then hypocritically turn the table on another game series.

It would be like some Halo-bros telling you that Starcraft doesn't take any skill, wouldn't you tell them, that their opinion is coming from a position of ignorance?

Understanding a joke
one of the skills NOT required to play CnC.

(j/k man im sure it takes skill too play CnC...)
Inputting special characters into chat should no longer cause the game to crash.

APOLLO SAID THE GAME SUCKS DUDE

Wtf you expect from guys who don't play the game much less a guy who MASTERED it?

You don't see Flash, Jaedong or someone saying SCBW is a terrible game..

sorry dude, i came from CnC as well, thats a badge I rather not show on the outside.

cnc games skill ceiling was so low, that when you hit it, you wouldn't even realize it. So no, cnc didnt take skill beyond the same skill and understanding that 90% of the players had.

Just study your openings, put in a few cheese BOs into your preparation, and keep practicing everything you can. I'm not sure how many days are left till the tournament/ your match but if its 1 day until the tournament then just practice your worst opening out of the openings you're planning on using in one or two games (Max) and then just get to sleep early and gets lots of it. You'll need to be wide awake to play a good game. Also, wash up a few hours before(or if it is in morning the night before) so you're well rested and fresh to play a game of Star Craft.
