I think my favorite part is when they pull all their workers and run around, intent on forcing a stalemate or making me chase them or something, but I'm playing Terran and I land my CC right in their main and start mining minerals instead. The rage is always nice too, though. ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/workerrushrage.jpg/) | ||

And once you left BM-ing, it's pure entertainment :-) Although I would be bored to death even playing below 10-worker rushes in a row, the pieces you present are usually very funny. So... gl&hf ;-) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DWOrT.jpg) Winning game was against a guy who gave absolutely no effort to defend and tried to base trade. Highlight of the day: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1DFZ0.jpg) I don't think I've heard the "my friend works at blizzard" line in awhile. | ||

Somehow i dont see how's that praise worthy. I get if someone plays just for fun, i get if someone plays just to get better, but somehow i can't put this in neither of those categories, unless one finds joy in pissing random people off. ps: I've never met this guy, at least i dont remember, but there are lots of people who always do the same stupid cheese over and over again and are high masters/GM, and believe me, once you play those kind of guys a few times, u dont have any sympathy for blogs like this. | ||

Countless people have tried it against me, and failed. Therefore it is inferior. I am not even that good a player, so it obviously has to have a very low win rate against at least decently skilled players. A funny thing though is, I once got worker rushed by a player impersonating Dimaga, going by the account name of mTwDIMAGA on the European server. He is Masters, and it was just lol when I defended his push. But it was a custom game, so he was likely not that serious. | ||

Protip: The reason why an inexperienced player shits his pants when he's worker-rushed (I did when I was first worker-rushed), is because everything in the game, implicit in every part, is the idea that you collect resources to increase your supply and make an army. Fighters fight, suppliers supply, workers work. Sure, they do token damage, but until you see it happen, the idea of using workers as your main and only unit is completely counterintuitive, like sending pickup trucks to a tank battle. | ||

How can you shit pants when you see workers? It's not like you are "OMG He has workers out already? I don't even have detection or anti-air omg omg...". Once you see your opponent attack with workers I don't think you need to be a strategic genius to come up with "What if I could use my WORKERS to defend against his WORKERS, it sounds crazy but him having to send the workers all over the map might even give me a slight home field advantage.." | ||

It is one of those things that, in retrospect, seems obvious. In the moment when it first happens to an inexperienced player, who is barely used to the rhythm of the game? Hearing "YOUR PROBES ARE BEING ATTACKED!" is confusing. I haven't met anyone who keeps dying to this over and over. Today, I know to box, a-move, keep making SCV's, and I'll come out ahead a couple of workers. | ||
