I call this one 6.5 because it's only half of what I usually do. Usually I put pictures with perfect cursive on top of it for comic relief, however as I was making 'part seven' I was about, 50% done and my firefox says, "We have received an error and need to close; I hope you weren't doing anything or else your fucked. Press OK".

Anyways, it's been a long time since my last blog, I think three months, but it doesn't really matter because I've started it up again. Now I'm going to redo this as part seven in proper format on Thursday, so this blog won't have a recap, I'l just go over a few things i've noticed in the past twenty games i've played this week.

Number One: Fuck you scout probe
• Scout probes are assholes. They come into your base, take a look around and start getting up in your drones face. Now as a Protoss, I usually harass their drones and I don't think much of it, but it is annoying as hell. This brings me to...

Number Two: If your cute, I am going to cheese you so bad...
• Maybe its just me, but when my opponent gets cute, I decide right there that I am going to cheese the hell out of them. It's worked well with D's so far and I don't see it being a problem until I am like.. A- or so.

Number Three: <3 Imbalisks
• In my experience playing Terran and especially Protoss, there are few moments in the game where I KNOW I am going to win. For example, when I hit hive and I throw down an ultralisk cavern, I like to give fair warning and I say; "Hey pal, you got about one minute to finish me or your going to die ." I think it's fair because when my imbalisks get on the field, I sometimes go make a sandwich as I A-move his base and I come back to a win screen. It's not bad.

Number Four: Fuck I love Imbalisks!

Number Five: I hate you mutalisk
• My muta micro is pretty bad. Part of the reason is: No experience and that I have no idea what groups are too large to attack. I usually see a group of marines; then I remember July or Jaedong taking out a similar group with ease; attack, then put down an ultralisk cavern to hopefully win the game since I just wasted all my fucking mutalisk.

Number Six: 5Pool
• Thank you 5Pool; you have saved me from having to attain any ZvZ skill.

Number Seven: Overlord
• Dear overlords, you are slow and die too easy to Number Eight. Stop being weak bitches like Atrioc. Love Salv

Number Eight: Corsairs
• Dear corsairs, go fuck yourself. Love Salv

Number Nine: Scourge
• This is a re-enactment of my scourge targeting a Sci. Vessel.

Scourge 1: Lol here we go, almost there, so close...
Scourge 2: Lol wait
Scourge 1: Lol?
Scourge 2: Lol I have a better idea, let's turn around in fucking circles until we die
Scourge 3: Lol k

Fuck you.

Lastly, right now iCCup I think I am.. 16-6 and 2500 D+ or so, and Thursday expect a real Part Seven.

Just added point Number Nine, because after consideration, there was no way I was letting Scourge A.I off the hook of being criticized.

@Nai.Protoss, Yeah well, I don't like that argument either, but IDC. ZvT is shitty as hell though, I'l give them that.

Usually I define cute differently depending on if I on a winning or losing streak. If it's a bad losing streak, cute might be scouting with a probe. If i'm on a good win streak, I start to think, 'alright, cheese' if he attacks the drones and then dances it away, or just saying 'lol' at any point during the game.

don't you dare turn this into another 'protoss is ezwin' vs 'protoss is pretty difficult' thread.

Although your moving to Zerg, I don't trust deflectos, as you might be a spy.
