thats backwards. pvt is easily the hardest mu for protoss at lower levels.

lol no. pvt is literally macro and pressing 1a2a3a4a at lower levels.

I agree with chill. PvT is by far the easiest matchup at lower levels. You can make alot of mistakes, and still come out ahead simply b/c its much easier for toss to macro. Especially when he is against a low level terran who doesnt know how to pressure / take his 3rd.

Yeah PvT is by far the easiest, I don't see how you could agrue pvz is easier than pvt in any way
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

lol well it's good to play at night and beat koreans, it's much more satisfying knowing you have S. Korean flags in your wins than 1231231 foreigners. plus, like heavonearth said, if you manage to randomly stumble upon a progamer smurf it's like

It's all good practice. Who cares about your record now when it will help get better that much faster :-)

That is, unless a lot of losing gets you depressed that is.

iCCup at night is so awesome.

Every time I stay up till ~ 5am or so I get a nice surprise because of all the lovely koreans on iccup

They're like 1v1 D+ Python? And I'm like Ooh I'm not C- yet so let's play!

Then we play this amazing game, which I just get so much more out of just playing foreigners!

And the best part is, ITS EVERY FUCKING TIME. SO AWESOME. GOD ITS SO INVIGORATING TO PLAY PROS AT SUCH A LOW RANK. I feel privileged every time i can play at night.


Even when you're playing to improve it's not very fun or helpful to be mercilessly raped repeatedly

I don't think it's that much harder but you can't mess around as much. The "quick win" strats that you can roll off isn't going to fly so much vs. the Koreans, and if you get behind it's not easy coming back. I think the best method is just play solid and focus, a lot of times the Koreans will just self destruct.


Lol no...

Trying to go for a long game versus someone with 300+ apm is suicide. I know because all I ever do is go for long games, because I'm a total macro whore. They ARE going to have better worker production than you, and they ARE going to have better macro than you, and they ARE going to have faster expansions than you (while still having a larger army wtf?), and they probably will have a better build order as well.

I don't usually go for cheese builds because I don't think they make me much better, but against koreans it might be the only way to go.

Heh yeah well when I play a game really well and make no mistakes and still lose, I get really mad and punch the wall and stuff.

I mean I can take a loss when it's clearly my fault, but when it's tiny little things like my probe production wasn't 100% perfect, it gets frustrating.

And yeah record doesn't matter... except that I know that I was solid C- last season and this season I'm stuck right at the low end of D+.... it's really embarassing when my friends are like "hey sup haven't talked to you in a while, what rank are you" and I'm like "D+ -_-"

Then I get steamrolled and I'm like what did I do wrong. So I check bwchart first and bam.... 300+ apm.

Every fucking time. God it's so fucking frustrating when they're low rank and have just started new accounts and just own the fuck out of me.

edit: I don't have anything wrong with iccup, I love iccup. I just hate the people playing T_T


Lol consider yourself lucky. Soon your multi-tasking will be insane. You have to fend off the Probe harass, scout with your own worker, and keep on making SCV's/depots.

But it's true that most US players are garbage and get mad easily.

Not really. There are some good players. Its just the majority of the players who are bad are from the USA. There are very bad koreans as well.
