Since you started bronze, any idea what your win rate is? 20%?

No, battle.net ensures that everyone, even worker rushers, gets a 50% win rate. To be sure, I went back and manually counted my last ~200 games on my match history (a few were custom games because I forgot to select only 1v1 games). I totaled 96 wins and 100 losses.

Sometimes I go on massive losing streaks, especially on off hours where nobody I meet loses to a worker rush, but then the next day when I play I get a screen full of wins because the game matches me with really bad players.

If you intentionally lose a ton of games, you enter the land of the sub-bronze, where people just trade wins with each other. Occasionally, on a slow night, I'll meet one of them and get a free win. You can identify them by the fact that they have thousands of games played, are often highly ranked in team games, and just AFK in game.

There's actually only one successful way to counter a worker rush.

In the words of the immortal Day[9] "Go fucking kill him." The correct transition out of a worker rush is into GG.

But yes, I'm a bronzey and I still think it's pathetic people can lose to a worker rush.

haha this blog is great. I remember when I was in bronze league I almost lost to a worker rush. I just A -moved but my workers got stuck in between the nexus and the gas geyser so he had more workers attacking than I did. However I still won since I had 2 more workers than him. It came down to like 20 hp on a probe lol. So ya you can even A-move into a bad position and win as long as you make a couple probes.

life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously but there it is. Life finds a way
