The other day... I lost to a D- player with 46 eapm because I opened 4 pool and he opened 9 pool sunken colony.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

Sick banner

A long time ago, the spawning pool used to cost 150 minerals instead of 200 minerals so you could literally make a literal amount of literal zerglings before ur opponent could fukken make enough marines or whatever and the game was basically a load of fuck, but then some noobies complained on the forums so blizzzard nerfed zerg because it was too stronk. Later on, zerglings became popular again, thanks to Polish players and later, South Americans.


Major luls

Also 5/5 for shoutout

Inspiring many generations of Zerg Players

haha, much love <3

I have exams going on currently, so I don't have much time/lust for brood war. But I did not forget anything of the holy oath I swore.

The reason he made a creep is because he was an Ethan.

It's not obligatory, Shauni is awesome. I've actually talked to him on many occasions.

I take it you never saw my old 4 and 5 pool in the professional scene thread from like 5 years ago.

It's actually a winning strategy in ZvP and ZvT but not ZvZ
