So my 10 year old cousin has been playing BW since he was about 8 and is actually pretty good(for an 10 year old IMO). He likes going stupid unit combos but here is one of his coolest games!
A little while into the game, he is at the 10 o'clock on Tau Cross
Some very annoying Corsair Harass
Gets into the base with some well placed Dark Swarms
A counter attack is stifled with an ensnare-plague combo
Epic ensnare hydra micro against 3 archons
Enemy Base destroyed!
But the enemy isn't dead yet...
A swarm of queens are sent in to finish the job.
Imba templar, archon, zealot, probe combo is unbeatable and wins the game replay: (you might not want to watch, its an 1 hr long macro game) http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=41046

just by looking at the photos, this 10 year old is quite skilled... but the choise of queens is confusing unless this kid is planning on being the next zero xD
p.s. who was he playing?
|
Looks like an awesome game, what is his rating on IcCup?
|
Shit I wish I was that good when I was 10. You should put him on ICCUP and see how he does.
|
That game was on ICCUP. He's currently at 1080 points I think.
|
ffffff
I wish I was capable of thinking at 50% of that level when I was your cousin's age. O_O
|
When I was 10, I couldn't even bring myself to win games without using cheats. This kid has got skills.
|
Well hes played for 2 years and he plays ALOT. Hes done the campaign at least 5 times for every race.
|
Does he watch any progames? Or just play for fun? What a kid!
|
He doesn't watch programs though I tried to get him into them. He just likes playing.
|
when I was 10, I was still on fastest map. T_T It's pretty cool that your cousin is into competitive BW. I'm sure that he'll be really good in a few years. =D
|
i was micro tourney king when i was 10. LOL.
swarm ftw!

Always a good thing when young people are playing the game.

Wow, that game looked pretty epic! I'm pretty sure (I haven't played BW in a while) that I barely have the multitask/APM necessary to accomplish what he's doing in that game. Although it is hard to tell since it's just screenshots. Still, using dark swarm and ensnare successfully requires a lot of effort.
|
wow... he seems very good!!! This story seems like Cruncher's Warcraft III life, with BW been retired from WCG, by the time he becomes a B+ player there will be not much tournaments...
But still very good game!!!

Kind of a big hole in your game outline, right in between him losing what looks like his first or second overlord and him having defilers in his opponent's base. Did protoss try to expand or push, or just camp that entire time? Did your cousin tech straight to defilers off three gas? That might be interesting.

I missed it in the replay and didn't want to go back. There was a dt drop that did alot of damage.
