Whenever I read this and see players higher than bronze I start to question my own skill level and wondering if I could actually hold a worker rush. All things considered, I do know how to a-move so yes I probably good.

I await the next one eargerly Gheed, I love these.

Maybe do a 1base, 200 worker push?

You guys ever wondered why a lot of bronze players are starting a game and then leaving after less than a minute? It's because they have bots, leave it on for a night get like 200 wins and in a couple of days every portrait is unlocked. it proves even more that strats as simple as probe rushes are not enough to lose in bronze league.

hahahaha, my favorite is the last conversation. It's like when Charlie is "lawyering" in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Brilliant as always.

This post from the last one is worth quoting btw:

You should start every game by giving instructions on how to defend a worker rush. Make the bronze league a better place :D

Actually this seems like a fantastic next step to delve deeper. Get a keyboard macro to make it even easier.
1. "When my workers arrive at your base, attack move with yours. GLHF."
2. Proceed as normal.
3. When/if you win... I will join you in scooping my brains out with a martini stirrer through the nose.

It seems like, eventually, this should stop working, right? Like, natural selection, even the bottom of the bronzes will eventually learn?

Or maybe I'm giving people too much credit

Have you seen the responses he's getting? He's convinced that he's cheating or worse than they are lol....doubt they'll learn.

More depressing than the actual BM is the fact that I can actually read it.

This is actually the greatest post of all time.

The definition of bronze is that you do not know how to play. So to sit and be amazed at how people do not know how to play in bronze is kind of useless. Even if it's semi-well written and has witty captions,

i visited my cousin today, and played a few games on his account (he's bronze and he's bad, but he likes the game, which is the most important thing.) as I wanted to really get that "bronze" feeling, I decided to do nothing in the first 5 minutes of the game. (tvp on xnc) I didn't move my workers, I didn't even build a seventh scv. needless to say, I still won the game and I really felt kinda guilty afterwards. i mean, how is something like that even possible? FIVE MINUTES. and to make things even stranger: he scouted me after 4 minutes, and he saw that I was doing nothing. by then he already had a few zealots, who could have easily killed my workers.

maybe he was a noob, and I really hope so. because otherwise I would have to redefine my personal definition of stupidity.
bronze is special.
