They're incredibly common, and not limited to blogs, and I don't even have a sensible reason to hate them, but whenever I see one of them in the blogs section of TL, I pause for a moment and shake my head while biting my lip in disbelieving anger. | ||

Nothing turns subjective impression into cold, hard fact quicker than sharing it with others. I dodged this particular bullet a few weeks ago, when I started a blog post about my laddering experience this season. I was struggling greatly in ZvT and ZvP: it felt like my opponents always had a free choice of strategy and those strategies - regardless of how extreme or one-dimensional they might be - always had to be countered exactly and precisely just to prolong the game. The idea of actually going into a game with a plan seemed absurd. And because there were so many T/P strategies, and it seemed the range of Zerg counters to each was so narrow and predictable, I was only ever going to get a tiny amount of practice countering and following up compared to the practice my opponents were getting executing and following up. I had this big, whiny post almost finished when, by chance, I was forced to set it aside over the weekend. When I returned to it on the Monday and read it through, it struck me as - not reasonable and sensible, as it had at the time, but biased and narrow-minded. Sure, some early aggression does mandate a very specific response, but the task of detecting and responding is not all that arduous, and deflection often pushes the odds of an eventual win far above 50%. Why was I not thinking, instead: "All I need to do to win 90% of those cannon rushes or proxy gates is send a drone around the edge of my base? Bargain!" Only in a small subset of these builds is it genuinely tricky to come out ahead, but in my post I had generalised the worst case, the better to win sympathy from my readers. Nor is it even the case that every T/P strategy must be dealt with uniquely. The later the focus of their strategy, the more opportunities there are to impose myself upon the game. Again I was generalising the worst case, ignoring nuance and opportunities, casting myself as the perpetual victim. Aside: Nor do I believe I am alone in this. Maybe the world is not a Zerg's oyster at the 0 minute mark in the same way it is for a Terran, but I think a lot of Zergs have allowed the claustrophobic early-game to colour their perception of the game as a whole. What surprised me most, however, was how influential a post contrived to convince readers can be upon the writer during the process of creation. I almost bought into my own hyperbole, almost made it part of my online persona - and while I've trained myself not to invest too much ego in being right on the internet, attaching oneself to erroneous public proclamations is at best a desperately unproductive pastime. | ||
