... my 11 year old little brother. I don't know what to say. I feel proud of him. He challenged me on getting to D+ in iccup. First person to get to D+ wins. Even though this looks like a no-contest as my brother has never played BW in his life, I see him as a big challenge because of 2 reasons:

1- He can succeed whatever he wants as long as he's hyped.
2- I'm a noob shit.

Let me tell the story of it:

I was watching MSL ro4 using his computer today (my computer isn't working right now due to some stupid windows issue. I have to format it), he came by and asked me what I was watching. I told him, he started watching with me. He watched the first game from start to end. Second game, the best game of the series, he got bored and tuned into the tv instead (at the point where the game got stale), he came back at the 3rd game, watched 3rd and 4th together. He continuously asked who was who (he distinguished great and ZerO from not their colors, not their nicknames, but their kespa ranks. He called ZerO 10 and great 12).

After games ended, he asked me to install BW to his computer. I agreed. The fact that he's a dota player made me proud because it was the first time he is interested in sc. He played every single game I played, except sc. And now, this happened.

I installed the game from my usb disk (i have a usb that has BW with iso image, game folder and iccup launcher, i copied all them to his computer). My usb has a good number of replays as well, so I opened one of my 4 ygosu reppacks (5th one), put a ZvT replay from randoms, made him watch together with me.

"Bro, who is ahead?"
"Bro, is Terran winning?"
"Bro, what will happen to Zerg?"
"Bro, Zerg has less food, how can he be ahead?"


were some of his questions during replay. I tried to explain him what was what, what does what, who is ahead, what is required to be ahead, all that good jazz. I felt like Day[9] when I saw myself being able to explain a missed pre-defiler timing attack and thus his army will be crushed once defilers come out.

"Bro, I want to play a game"
"OK, let me set you a game. What race do you want?"
"Zerg. Uh no, Terran. Uh no no, Zerg. Uh no no no, Terran. Uh..."
"OK, let me give you random."
"NOOOOOOOO, I don't know what protoss is. Give me Terran. Terran it is"
"OK, you're on dood"
"No, no. First, you play a game"

I switched my race to zerg.

"No, play a game with Terran"
"OK"

I started a TvP on match point. When I was constantly making SCVs
"Bro, this number of workers are enough"
"Lesson one dood: No amount of SCVs are enough. You always make SCVs in game"
"OK, got it"

I proceeded with 12 rax into 1 factory expo with a scout after rax. Scout saw a 1-gate citadel with temp archives on the way. At that time, my nat was almost completed, i threw down 3 more factories and decided to get a late acad against an obvious DT rush. And guess what. I was DT rushed and I ragequitted after first DT.

"Hahahahahaha you noob shit. You lost to AI"
"So what?!"
"You're noob and I bet I can be D+ before you can"
"Wooo, i sense a challenge"
"You bet, now get me an iccup account"
"No, not before my computer is working again. My clearstats date hasn't come yet"
"You're scared, aren't you?"
"OK, ok, ok. I'll get you an iccup account after I come back home. I'm taking a shower now, go out after that"

I'm currently away from home. I'll get him an iccup account once I get back. I have to try to get D+ as well as teach him the game at the same time. He still didn't decide a race to play with. I'm planning to show him protoss as well. But I'm sick proud right now. My brother plays BW. Damn that's nice.

Just curious what clearstats has to do with it. Have you gotten to D+ before? because if thats the case it wont take very long =/

Anyways, the fact that your brother calls them 10 and 12 is hilarious

bwww!

I got 800ish points in my iccup account. Clearstats is because of that. Actually I kinda dodged him there.

I'm so sad for him because he has to learn the game from a D- elder brother. He doesn't understand english and thus he can't read most of the good strategy guides. There are some phony strat guides in my lango as well but they have very little things in it that I don't already know.

EDIT: I realized that I pressed 2 instead of 8. Rofl.

Wow that's awesome. Just tell him to watch replays. He can learn from that if he doesn't understand english. I wish I know someone that plays BW then I can play with him. VERY COOL BROTHER YOu have! I'm pretty sure you can 4 pool your way into D+ or 2 gate..:D

Oh, did I forget to mention that cheesing/allin-ing isn't allowed? The cheesiest builds allowed are no cheesier than 2fact-2hatch muta/lurker.

EDIT: I'll watch replays with him in a regular basis and explain him. Ofc he can and will watch replays on his own. I'll also make him read those phony strat guides and discuss together.
