Out of the last 15 games vs T, all but 1 tried some sort of gay bunker-rush or marines/SCVs al-in attack. WTF.


And more than half the time it works on me


On the plus side, I think I do a lot better vs the gayness now.

yea, it's good to have them do it to you until you learn to deal with it most of the times

and when you do learn, it's still cool cause it's easy points or simply an interesting intense game from early on

At this point in the season you will gain a huge advantage ZvP and ZvT going 10hat/10pool/10 lord .... at the lower levels it happends alot.

Vs me you overreacted to rines and my tech put me far ahead.... I was on my terran learning account.

I was playing an iCCup game yesterday, I just started this season last night so I was D, and my opponent was D also, so Idk if he was on same level, worse, or better. That said I scouted him pretty quickly (TvT game) and saw he bearly had anything, with some idle scvs. So stupid me just assumes he is a noob and I continue on with my 1fact FE when 4-6 rines run in with some SCVs. I was pretty pissed, but with some gosu SCV micro, and delaying till my 1st vulture finished, I managed to defend it pretty good then he gg'ed. Fucking bunk rush pisses me off so much, yet I love doing it myself. I guess thats how ladder matches roll O_o

Yeah this is what I hated about WGT when I played it years ago. Everyone cheesed, it isn't until higher up the ladder you start to get quality games. (Sure the odd time you'll get them around D/C levels)

Meh just take your loss with the pride of knowing that they'll never get any better by just cheesing every game.
Not bad for a cat toy.

I mean, I think it's normal Terrans cheese. If you are off guard against a terran, you lose, cuz one of the advantage of this race is its ability to all-in.

When Boxer 3-0'd Yellow, everybody had to rethink zerg bo's to be able to react.

Maybe today's zerg bos are just too ambitious for most people.

Yeah, I run into it a lot too. More last season though. Now I'm far better at blocking bunker rushes than I am blocking the sunk break.

I used to build cannons inside my oppnents main, it was really cheese and it gave a 50%+ wining record, and it required very little skill.

But it was just retarded... I want to get better and have fun playing, so now i almost never cheese, not even DT rushes, i just go for really long games that allow to practice macro, micro, timing and all of that, and now i win less than one third of my games, but i enjoy it a lot more.

I haven't played this season yet though I will get around to playing so I don't know like a good estimate of games being cheeses, but like just 12 pool zvt and 9 pool zvp. like 12 pool zvt is so strong these days cause I think that a lot of terrans have gotten used to like 12 hatch timings, and sometimes those quick lings can like easily destroy a terran that isnt thinking straight, though of course this won't happen very often because GOOD Terrans know how to deal with this easily. so basically 12 pool is a really safe opener and can transition really well into a 3 hatch tech, you just have to adjust a bit more to the timings but overall it can also be used aggressively if the terran is too greedy.

And like 9 pool zvp is just really good overall cuz speed lings destroy 2 gate zeals and if he FE's he wont get much out of it since he has to make 2 cannons and pull 2-3 probes(and if he doesnt you just runby), + u can transition into a 2 base build really easily even versus a protoss thats doing like a 1 base build

ok first of all, you really should stop watching PurePwnage or trying to immitate Jeremy. Basically what you do is you bring your both your overlords once you realize where his base is obviously. You park one to see his ramp/entrance to his main then you can see when you have an opportunity (overlords generally have time to get to the bases on most the maps except like big maps e.g andro cross) but then if that does happen, you can just micro your lings a bit to get a glimpse, even if you lose like 1 you can still manage a runby but usually protoss will ALWAYS pull probes(unless they're noob or you're vs'ing smoeone you really know - where mindgames come into play) to block the POSSIBILITY of a runby. In starcraft you don't need to do things like DROP or whatever, better yet you just have to THREATEN the POSSIBILITY of a drop/runby/whatever you want, and the player (assuming he is good) HAS to take the PRECAUTIO to DEFEND the POSSIBILTY, and if he doesn't well you just drop/runby/whatever you want and he dies anyway.

For instance this is why Terrans apply pressure to zerg. They move out with rines not always to do a sunk break but to THREATEN the ACTUAL sunk break, in which case zerg has to react even though the terran won't really try something like a sunken break (or doesn't want to)

So theoretically a 9 pool vs FE doesn't really put you behind macro wise because the protoss loses 300 minerals to cannons and has 2-3 probes not mining for a while.

Secondly, yes it is possible that a 1 base toss will rape a 2 base zerg but it always depends on what is happening. I said that 9 pool DOES INDEED open the possibility for a transition into 2 base play (e.g when the protoss is doing a 1 base reaver build, 2 hatch muta destroys the reaver assuming you block the initial zealot pressure/harass) but it is not necessairy to actually do a 2 base build vs 1 base protoss (by 2 base I mean 2 hatch ) but generally you do need a faster tech to cope with a protoss tech unless you're planning on like staying tier 1 for a long time with hydras.
