lol golden, although imo worker rushes arnt hard to hold off, then again, im in diamond



Hahaha, that's part of the point when the OP talks about the silver leaguers. By not expecting it, it may provide the rusher with the advantage he needs. I'm Diamond as well and earlier today I lost to a six pool. I forgot when was the last time someone tried to 6pool me and my surprise was literally all my opponent needed (I have held 6pools countless times...back in gold). And yes, I was angry/confused/amused that one of the oldest rushes in the book had return from the depts of my ladder past to bite my current lack of practice against it :D

Nice brag post.

I just read every entry, this is such an funny blog. I'm intrigued now, how deep does the rabbit hole (bronze league) go? Surely there are players as unspeakably terrible in the depths of Bronze as there are players mindblowingly better than most others at the very top level. Who are these players? What sort of strategies do they do? Do they have crippling arthritis that leaves them incapable of macro or micro? Or are they just incapable of self improvement? And most importantly, why do they still play a game where even the Blizzard matchmaking system fails to keep them close to a 50% win rate?

Your anthropological study is intriguing, but by actually executing a worker rush you've put yourself out of reach of the true bottom of bronze.

Part 4 > 3 > Interlude > 2 > 1

That's right, this series is now epic enough that we can compare how awesome the parts are.

Lol why is there "Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!" at the bottom of Season 4 ladder picture? Are you russian?


Eh, it was my attempt at a pun. The advert for season four said "Get ready for glory," which as a worker rusher made me think of a workers revolution or a communist revolution. I used the Russian translation of the Marx quote because I thought it might make the pun more clear, since to those of us raised on American action movies in lieu of a decent public education system think Russians are still commies.

Really, I just needed a picture to stick in the middle of those few paragraphs.

Had to go back and read all 3 parts (plus the special bonus interlude). Bravo. I love the paradoxical pairing of someone massing games with the worst, arguably easiest 'strategy' but relating their exploits for us to enjoy so proficiently. Hopefully the ladder experience stays fresh so we can get more tales from Bronze in the future.

The only thing I don't like about this experiment is when you try to convince your opponent to take his game back to the store. I think if they are so hopeless that they feel that way that you should point him to TL for tips or something. I really feel bad for those people.

I like this blog though. It's not so much an evolution of worker rushing, so much as it is an evolution of the human experience as you interact with degenerates on Battle.net 2.0. Very informative.
