Really wishing I was at Least silver league right now. Just quit out of a game because this guy massed as many canons as possible, and I didn't want to take the time to tech to Brood Lords and mass them. He didn't even have any room to produce units, just made over 100 canons. What a noob.
Sigh... bronze league.

It always blows my mind when lower league players say I want to get out of
"x" league because the cheese is ridiculous. Do you really think cheese doesn't exist in masters and grandmasters? It happens a lot more than you think... and if he makes 100 cannons in his base try expanding

Yeah, eventually. I had a roach/ hydra army. After looking at the replay I realized I probably should've just went air earlier to brood lords after I saw how many canons he started making that took out my first rush. I wasn't expecting that many canons though.

edit: NINJAS :o


Try dropping if you don't want to get broods, unless he has 4000000 cannons circling his base, in which case you expand over and over and get brood lords. If you don't want to, just remember it's good practice.
I wish you luck on your SC2 Cannon Destroying adventures, good sir!

I know the frustration of Bronze, I stayed there for a LONG ass time myself, I kind of got trapped there without improving.

I was lucky enough to meet a guy in masters who was willing to teach me a little bit. I pondered the elder's wise words for days, I put it to use and I got into silver And been improving from there.

But yeah, cannons are annoying (>,<)

I didn't want to take the time to win. Why am I still in bronze?

honestly you're going to have people playing like this in all levels of leagues... best thing to do is to learn to accept it and just play out and try to improve while you can, instead of rushing ahead

Even in the platinum league there guys who float their buildings off/build 5000 turrents on islands because they thought your build was "unfair" and you play the "easier race". It's just the way it is in starcraft, get used to it. Not everyone is like that, but there are some, and a lot of them bronze.

Now by quitting what you've done is told the system that your worse than the guy who masses cannons, and you'll be matched up against worse players :o, just take your free win...try have fun, see how many hatches you can make :p

Oh come on, don't act like theres never been a match in your whole Starcraft experience when you said "screw that, this guy isn't worth the time"

I'm liking dartoo's comment the most so far. Great words, wise one. Haha.

Hey dude, sorry I didn't see your message on Bnet.

What I suggest doing is trying to get achievements in those situations lol. While they don't serve much purpose, they are a way to keep games like this fun. For example, Infested Terror, Centurion Queen, A Roach's Life, and Zerg Macro Master would all be possible here.
They're fools. You should eat them.

I still don't get why you didn't want to just suck it up and tech. If there's no pressure, its not like Brood Lords take THAT long to tech to. If you want to get out of bronze, you've got to rise about the weird strats that you see there, even if it wastes your time, it's still another rung on the ladder climbed.

You'll still see weird things higher up, but maybe not a bajillion cannon everywhere with no space to build units, enjoy the easy points while you can

You can still get easy points from stupid builds in master league too, so just adapt and play the game out rather than crying about it and giving up

You should know that silver (every league for that matter) has this weird stuff also; they are the bronzies who win from cheesing other bronzies.

You have to smash them if you want out, not idra-gg-timing it out.

Wouldn't mass banelings handle the situation even faster? Maybe it becomes frustrating if you try to mass games, but those are easy though sometimes time consuming wins.

As already mentioned, being in a higher league does not exempt you from stupid strategies. I'm in plat and just last night a protoss went 3 stargate void rays for almost the entire game. It feels good to take down the stupid strategies; you get a nice feeling watching it all fall down!

Roaches also rip through it pretty quick. It's not like he'd need to take down all the canons, just enough to clear a path to the protoss base and kill it. I would have personally went for nydus.

Come up with a build that gets like 4 broodlords by like 17:00, and you can win quickly versus these players.
Make sure you have other units, and expand plenty.

I suggest spreading your creep everywhere because you can. Especially if he's massing cannons. Cover the whole map in your purple goo!

Trust me, the only difference between cheese in higher leagues is that the execution is better :/
