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
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
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...
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.

Yeah my cousin and his older brother were the ones that got me into it.
