Whats so darn depressing, was that I started playing BW when I was 4... The first thing I learned was how to build an scv, then how to build a depot, then how to build a barracks.

Upon doing so by myself as a 4 year old, I learned to be aware of opponents, naturally this happened in the first game. I learned how to attack these people because I was also aware that opponents were my "enemies" (or w/e I would of thought of as a 4 year old, "Bad guys" probably...)

14 years later I am depressed at the mental capacity of any sort of adult that is in bronze league... Its really depressing :|

I find it simultaneously reassuring and depressing that some of the most interesting games writing I've ever seen is in a community blog tucked down in the depths of a StarCraft fan site. This really is great stuff, and I'd like to stress the hell out of that. Come for the angry Bronze League players, stay for the narrative about "playing for fun" and other laughable phrases. Keep it up.

There are a lot of people in this thread who really don't get it.

tbh, i actually don't get it. at all. can you explain it to me?

cause it seems that it's:

They are bronze and bronze is terrible, so I prove that with an experiment to show how stupid and terrible they are. And surprise surprise a lot of them get mad when they are faced with this attitude and lash out. I will then show how much better I am than them in both SC2 playing ability and in real life by taking screenshots and writing a verbose post about how mad I made them and how terrible they are. This implies that I'm intelligent because I am tricking all these people who are terrible and stupid and I'm also witty in how mad I got them. Did I mention how stupid and terrible they are?

am i on the right track here?


No, you're not on the right track. Are you mad, bro? read the god damned op.

There's a difference between skill and knowledge. In order to deal with a worker rush, you need to know about attack move. That's it, no skill required - just KNOWLEDGE. An autistic six year old can deal with it if he KNOWS that he is supposed to attack move.

The funny thing is that people fail despite him telling them how to do it. It's not that they lack skill, it's that they fail at a task that takes no skill, only knowledge, when he provides them with the knowledge.

i read the OP, unfortunately. i've read his other blogs too. and yes i'm mad. i'm pissed. i'm so angry i'm punching a wall right now in pure, uncontrollable rage. everytime i read a word on this thread i'm superfly TNT, i'm the guns of the navarone. i'm like a racecar in the red. i could blow.

there is no real difference between skill and knowledge. he, by all accounts, provides them with "knowledge" that is completely unsolicited and does it in a relatively dick manner. and it's a big surprise that they don't necessarily take it to heart?

Gheed, you're an incomparable genius. I understand that you need time to recover from all your worker rushing and blogging, but please return to us some day, hopefully soon. My mood brightens considerably every time I find a new blog entry posted here.

Like the other posts this one was very entertaining, even if reading some of the explanations these guys come up with is a little sad.

I have a theory abouth their panic reaction when they see the worker rush. I don't know what a bronze game actually looks like, but I'm assuming it's something like build an army for 30 minutes, then meet in the center of the map and see who wins. By worker rushing you're introducing the element of surprise, which is something new and very unusual. You're frightening them and that's why they hate you so much. Also, fear hinders normal cognitive behavior, so they can only mobilize the most basic function, like reflex-lifting of the CC or escape response, or in some cases aggression.

Oh, and, if you've been playing for several month, several thousands of games, I'd like to know what is your motivation. I bet that'd be fascinating as well.

Yes there is, the dude explained it to you in that post you quoted.

Do you have bronze syndrome, too?

You could also go to a bunch of 7 years old and brag about having facial hair. Haha how stupid would they stand, they could just grow up.

You could go to a bunch a poor people and brag about having a car. Now that would be tons of fun, look at them with their bicycles, how slow they move. If only they knew it only takes a job.

You could go to a vegetarian meeting and choke yourself on meat. So tasty meat, look at what you're missing, greenies.


Make sure to take a lot of pictures and describe what you did with quadri-syllabus words, you should always appeal to a fringe of society. I rated it 1, for pathetic.

The number of people who aren't willing to get the point of these threads before posting is quite depressingly high. It's as if they post only to focus on making their point while disregarding everything else. Knowing that this kind of behavior somewhat corresponds with the actions of all these bronze league players the OP plays against, I can't help but sigh.

Read all your previous blog entries just now by the way, great read.

The funny thing is, is that how we look on bronze leaguers like this, there are people who look down at mid-masters like this.

Everyone in this game is so completely and utterly unaware of how incompetent they are.
