Obnoxious shit Protoss can do?

Hey TL!

Well when I got home from the SC2 midnight launch I decided to get in my placements right away before the server got overloaded. In two of my matches i got caught up chatting with my opponent (including the asshole that told me Diamond is not a word, and the other guy who asked me if I was sure I'm in charge of iCCup TV), and tanked 2 of my matches badly.

I am now in the silver league .....

I am trying to think of funny stuff to do with Protoss while cruising my way throught the silver ranks (normally a low to mid level Diamond player). I may not be a TLO but I shoudl have no issue doing w/e I want. So I want to do some fun and funny stuff to keep myself interested (think like in TLOwnage).

So far I've come up with writing "iCCup TV" in pylons on the map. What other insane things should I do? I feel like Protoss is limited on humiliation tactics (we need Ravens!), and could use some ideas. Replays will of course be included if you want, but I'm going to be laddering tonight so I need ideas!

Thanks in advance!

I thought about this but I don't even think silver players will fall for this. Could be wrong though.


mass pheonix


I do this in regular games all the time as it is. It would not be much of a stretch for me lol!


forcefield block mining


ooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That's a fantastic idea sir! Sentry drops ftw!

Probes/Cannons only the whole game. You can also get defense upgrades... I'll let it slide

That's not a bad one either.

Diamond players fall for this iCCup.Diamond. Not many people use hallucinate or get detection. Heck, standard ZvP vs 4 warpgate doesn't get a fast overseer. I had fun with 4 warpgate hallucinated zealots to wins tons of games. Ravens and obs are also reasonably rare, considering how fast hallucinate researching. Hallucinate 1-2 colossus if you want to b e more subtle, but if its a bad player they won't realize its impossible to get that many colossus that fast.

block nexus/command center with pylons (like manner pylon in sc1 but as it won't work now...)

If you want to have some fun off-race block his ramp with a few changelings, see if he falls for it.

otherwise, templar drops and feedback the queens :D

Not sure if it's even possible to manner pylon anymore, but if it is you should screw around with a really bad player by doing this:

Immediately send one probe off to a somewhat out of the way expansion while your remaining probes gather minerals. Start warping in the nexus as soon as possible and then when you have the minerals, manner pylon your remaining probes. Then when your opponent comes to scout, bombard him with help messages. Hopefully your opponent is bad enough for you to overcome the disadvantage.

Keep in mind I'm not sure how viable this is as I don't play multiplayer one bit.


Edit: And according to the post above me, you can't really manner pylon anymore?

I have a great build that I use. Essentially it is a Mothership rush, because you rush a Mothership as fast as you possibly can. However, the secret behind the build, is to start off the game with "sup im going to mothership rush you". And then you do it. And they never see it coming.

Dunno, why think about it so much... Just wing it & come up with something that feels fun at the moment.

1 gate 1 stargate +1 air attack (Phoenix harass) expand is my favorite PvZ build.

But if your opponents are terrible, perhaps you should be a whore with blink ninjitsu.
My strategy is to fork people.

Figure out carrier micro?

Do that and I'll be your fan forever
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

Yeah! Make sure they are templar, since you will have lotsa gas from making all those shuttles...
Then u can make archons! No one makes archons. It's a double insult.
