You win the internet. But speaking for the bronzies, you underestimate the impact of panic. Panic can do weird things to people, that is probably the root cause of all this not to mention they probably don't know what A-move means. | ||

Why do diamond players not improve beyond diamond, why don't they take a moment to learn what makes them bad, so they can be masters, grandmasters? No, truthfully, the OP wants an excuse to troll, that's it. He disguises it by being curious, intrigued, fascinated, but at the end of the day, he loves it when he makes someone with less skill so angry that they accuse him of cheating. He relishes it when they just leave at his nonsense. He even messages them afterward asking, more politely and less to the point, "How could you be so stupid?" Oh I get it, you got that ESPN thing where you can read minds you know what is inside the OP's heart of hearts, right? You are taking this comedic blog post way too seriously. Again, the basic skills needed to play this game are provided via the tutorial. Let's use an analogy, cause it's the popular thing to do in this thread. An idiot is starting his first day of work. His job will be using a machine that cuts things with a blade. He has never used this machine before. But no problem. His boss says "there's the machine, there's the manual, figure it out and get to work." The idiot decides to skip the manual, thinking he can just fuck with it until he figures it out, starts up the machine, and cuts off his own arm. In the really real world, obviously the boss would be to blame, but let's just look at this philisophically for a second. Who is really at fault here? The idiot was given everything he needed to do what was asked of him, and he chose not to read the book. I'm going to blame the idiot. | ||

I'd probably fucking leave too. Especially when he's Terran. Best case scenario? You win the worker rush with a couple probes/scvs/drones remaining and have to tech all the way up from 3 SCVs to something that flies because he's a giant douche that flies the CC to the corner of the map. This blog was written for entertainment. If you take anything in it very seriously, you are entirely missing the point. Honestly, its not likely he is literally studying bronze players, or actually finds anything about the league truly enigmatic. Its satire. Damn good satire. Just read it and be happy. | ||

 Much respect for your "work" here. I myself have not been workerrushed so far. | ||

The bm doesnt count here btw, if you harcore cheese people, you will provoke rage in any league. Good job in trying to transform the community into a bunch of elitist pricks. Believe it or not, but the game is designed so that people can have fun at any skilllevel, even bronze. Taking a public shit on casuals/beginners/people who just fool around with the game because you're frustrated with your own skill development is pretty low imo. Also it is not obvious at all how to defend a worker rush if you never think about it. I.e. do probes really win a-moving vs drones? After all they are much weaker. Its not exactly intuitive. I think I only faced one workerrush back in beta, lost, and the guy was pretty nice, told me not to worry and explained it. If I had met someone like you I'd probably have stopped playing back then. I don't feel well in company of people who are so desperate that they need to act insecure about a computer game to boost their egos. Good thing the SC community is usually better than that. | ||

I think someone in this thread (I skipped it through fast) claimed the OP is trying to ridicule the example players taken from bronze league. That clearly isn't the case. The OP is simply pondering why the bronze league players don't even try to become better at SC2. And if they aren't having fun losing games then why are they even playing Starcraft 2?

Still strolling around in this thread while my mind wanders. This comment was the most relevant to my interests. | ||

So he is abusing weaker players. It can be just 3 minutes of their time or maybe it's much more. If somebody gets harvester rushed three times in a row i can see him being even for some time after a game or you can ruin his game so much he wont play anymore. I don't think it's a good thing, do you? And of course he won't BM someone who is friendly, but he is purposely trying to make them angry so he can post their rage on his blog. And it's not like he is trying to help them. He could just write them and say "Hey, I'm sorry for doing this strategy. But it is easy to hold. You just box all your workers click A or attack icon and click behind enemy workers and that way they start attacking and you should have much more units." How can you say it's not bullying? Btw usually bullying starts as a fun for people watching it. You lose because your opponent a moves his workers on yours. K, gg. You type how to beat worker rush in google. You'll probably find the solution as the first option. Done. Next time you get matched up with this guy you won't lose, in fact you get a free win, maybe not if it's the 12 drone cheese, but he's not doing that. I haven't seen Mr. Gheed BM people who don't BM him, so following the bullying logic it would be that you yell at someone who beats you at a game and when he writes some witty response you get angry. Is that bullying? Btw usually bullying starts as a fun for people watching it. If they are able to notice they are getting made fun of that means they've got acces to this site, and they won't lose to a worker rush again. There's 2 solutions for not getting made fun of, don't BM in the first place or kill his worker rush and LOL at the silly opponent. | ||
