I completely understand the way you see bronze leaguers. Just like my friend who's played literally 5+ hours per day for the past 4 weeks, is still horrible. Staying on 1 base, floating over 1-2k min/gas, building like 5 stargates (and trying to fund it via 1 base btw) for void rays, cannons around his whole base border. Gets supply blocked for over 4 minutes then realising he needs to build more pylons. It's a real PAIN to watch him play. I try to tell him what to do and he just says 'oh cbf'. | ||

Have you ever heard of Pavlov and his experiments? Also, it is a good comparison because those dogs are actually learning better than these people who can't for the life of them figure out how to press a and click on the ground. 5/5 gheed, it's always amusing to see people get mad about your blogs. That CC on the ramp was fucking hilarious. | ||

You keep using 'retard' as if it is synonymous with 'stupid'. As someone with relatives who are mentally challenged I find this extremely offensive and childish. In addition, you come off as extremely arrogant and condescending, you can be funny without being mean. Even your screenshots in past blogs have shown YOU being the BMer. People like you are the reason it is hard to convince friends to jump in and give the game a shot. Stop being a dick to new players. You could be just as funny and a lot nicer. For sure the last time I read one of these. I wish I could give negative points for this blog. 0/5 | ||

From your blogs and analysis, it seems like coaching some bronze leaguers is like herding cats. They can watch Day[9] and read Teamliquid and intellectually understand what's going on; they can hear the arguments and pointers on how to improve and what is good, and there's some mental block that makes them refuse to implement it. It's bizzare. | ||

These are players with 1600+ games, that after being told exactly what do do, after repeated tries, still cannot beat a worker rush. Noone uses "retard" to describe mentally handicapped people, they use either the general phrase "mentally handicapped," "mentally challenged," or the specific proper name for their specific condition. "Retard" is not in any way meant to slander people who are legitimately mentally handicapped. In slang, it IS actually synonymous with "stupid." And yes he's being very BM, if he wasn't, it wouldn't be funny. Sometimes being mean is funny. | ||

If i told you hey all you have to do is this one motion, and you will be able to do this, what do you think responses in real life will be like? Not very different I imagine. Some people won't care, they don't see why they need to do it. Some people will be mad that you are showing them something new. Some people won't be able to do it the first time, even after you show them or tell them it. It'd be more like, people join a shoe-tying competition with you. They lose to your one motion, then refuse to learn how to do it better even though they are still joining shoe-tying competitions with others... | ||

I have no idea what you could possibly gain from doing that and it's really annoying to be zerg since you have no mobile units that can shoot air until you get mutas. | ||

I would say the MMa vs Gheed comparison does not work either simply because of the skill difference in an A-move (that he tells you how to do at the start) and the 400 APM madness that a top tier pro shows. But I can see how this wouldnt be popular with everyone. Hopefully he writes something else if not these blogs.  | ||

How is it possible you're even on this site if you don't understand the point he's making? | ||
