Love your Work Rush Series. Showed it to my brother in Germany. He really enjoyed it too. Thanks for the laughs and amazing stories of blind, inept and crazy bronze players. | ||

The reactions of your opponents are quite amusing, although I cannot help but feel more sympathy than it appears you do towards them. Some people simply are not interested in actually learning what would be effective in this game, preferring to play by their own preconcieved rules. My theory is that worker rushes infuriate them so much because it overrides this image they have in their mind as to what a "proper" Starcraft game should be, full of exciting and epic science-fiction armies. Instead the game instantly devolves into a basic battle of micro. The fact that this challenge is stacked so much in their favor, and yet they consistantly fail demonstrates that they are simply unwilling or incapable of thinking of the game in such a way. There's nothing inherently wrong with intending to play a game a certain way. The unfortunate part is when their method of playing conflicts with an game frame like yours, which is so antithetical; and of course the fact that they constantly receive negative feedback (they lose). It's a good thing that we have a bronze league, so these unfortunate souls can hopefully only ever play against each other, and get wins every now and again. There must always be a lowest 20%. That is actually the insight Gheed has been looking for i think. On to the blog: i just thought of a way to help you hit rock bottom bronze. Add constrictions, lots of them, to how you play, such as: 1) No keybinds of any sort. Actually, play only with your mouse hand if you can. 2) Never make more than 10 workers, but always take 2 gasses. Those 2 should be crippling enough to lose you a good number of games, but you can still try to macro off1base and what not. | ||

Now I'm more confused than ever. How am I supposed to lose against people who don't make units? Or people who choose to make the worst units in the game? I really don't know. Short of just leaving the game, I am at a loss of how to proceed down deeper. So fuck it. It's time for a tea party. For the next 100 games I shall be having a very merry unbirthday. Only make a certain number of workers, all in, every game, but not necessarily attacking. | ||

Starcraft, the game populated by the most masochistic bunch of gamers who all collectively wallow in a feeling of self-disgust at how horrible they are Standard. MLISC. Also, this literally made my day. You're a phenomenal writer, and the last conversation was so fucking funny. My favorite part was "it has to be false to be slanderous / and it is not false that you are a dipshit" so. good. 5/5 | ||

God I love this series, so funny and good. You're getting a bit more aggressive in some chatlogs (imitating conversation after the game) but its all justified keheheheh | ||
