Today at school me and my friend were walking around during our spare(free block/session), when we walked into one of the computer labs we noticed a group of ~8 people playing SC on LAN together. First thing that popped into my head was "O_O I'm not the only one in my school that actually plays SC??!?". I observed for a while, and noted that the people playing were having a FFA on Fastest, and they all appeared to have like 50 apm.... >_<. So I ask if I can play with them naturally, to show them my ~180 D+/C- Terran skills but before I could the teacher walked up to me and my friend kicking us out of the class because we were not allowed to interfere with the class in session. I was like "wtf, they are all playing video games, not doing any work, I'm not loud or anything. How am I disrupting the class?". Being the bitch she was she still kicked us out but before that I was pretty confident they were crappy enough that I could take them on 7/3/etc,v1. They didn't believe me so they said if I'm that good they want me to play this kid name Chase that rapes them all already. At first I was like "Oh, np, time to pwn some noob" then they mentioned how he was Korean. This made me frightened that he could actually be a good player. So tomorrow (unless the date changes)everyone scheduled me to 1:1 him in front of everyone. He plays P so it will be TvP but I know nothing else about him, he could be a fastest player like the rest in which 1:1 fastest will suck nuts. Anyway, I hope I win, wish me luck! =D
P.S. Will save replays if they are any good.
P.S.S. First day back from my 1 week temp ban vacation, hurray!

Jeez, if it is on fastest I have no clue how the BO's differ from low-money, anyone have any idea?
Since you mine faster is it like 7supply 8rax,8gas or something?
EDIT: And there isn't even any kind of FE! Do I go straight to 6fact or something? Keep producing while making facts till I'm maxed? I really don't know if there is any kind of timing pushes on FPM...

Not all koreans kick ass. Even then, 180 APM terran is strong. If he's skilled, you will have good games.
Good luck!

FE works differently
you just get another CC below or above your minpatches and it lets you get more scv's cuz you really do need it to keep up with eco-growth

Uhh watch out for any probes in your base because canrushes there are a bitch. Like every fastest player used to do that when I played it occasionally
watch out for mass zealraids, reavers, templars,... anything that'll fuck your eco up hardcore. Remember, there's only 1 patch with all your scv's so one storm or reaver and you're fucked. So get some defense around your cc. You can fuck up his eco the same way with a simple tankdrop.
Uhmm other than that just go for the usual vult/tank mass I guess?

This kid probably sucks anyway

Very true. I beat a kid at my school with a 14 nexus against a 4 pool. He was korean too. Koreans in the USA lost some of their Kimchi power or something. They can't compare to their compatriots back home.
What does the scouter say about his macro level? It's Over 9000 minerals!

Actually, I use to play fastest for a little bit. You need to look out for cannon rushes and mass zealot rushes. My advice is to wall off pronto, mass MM and see if you can kill him before templar get out. But with your 180 APM terran, shouldn't be a problem to dodge them right??

:D GL HF

If it is on fastest, just build things as you have money for them. Go supply first as you normally would and play by mineral count from there. It's probably better to go mm before mech, since on fastest, P can mass an abnormal amount of zealots by the time you have a couple vults out. It's probably worth it to use two scouting scvs.

Lay down turrets so as to stop ht and reaver drops since those suck.
Get turrets in time for dt rushes, since a comsat requires a separate cc.
If he isn't that good, a fun strat to use is firebat run-by probe kill -> siege tank drop probe kill -> nuke.
Another fun thing is building raxs in bases adjacent to his, then floating over and building firebats to kill probes.

If you guys have the time, do a BO3 and have like match one on fastest, then on normal, then on like bgh or something for tie break.

Edit: Another thing you can do with terran is rush an eng bay in his base and float it over his mins so he can't send probes to mine.

UPDATE:
Okay so today at school I played some people, I played a 1v1 on LT first TvP against some random kid, raped him, then everyone was like "That's not fair, it should be 3v1". So we do a 3v1 on 0Clutt, I proxied 1 fact vults and raped all of their ecos (these guys were worse than computers >_< ). Eventually I meet Chase but he is busy doing HW so I didn't manage to play him today. We are supposed to play soon though. He said he stopped playing SC at home when he was ~15, and I asked him if he played iCCup and he had no clue what that was. So I can't imagine he is better than me but good games would possibly happen still. They said I wasn't much faster than him if any at all so I know he isn't nearly as noob as the pubs I pwned today. Another update will come when we manage to play.

0clut lets you do some really random stuff- anything with splash becomes 10x more powerful.

And firebats are good (because of splash, and because hella ppl mass zeal on 0clut), but i think that the build time might actually be slower (you need more gas, and academy build time isn't insignificant). Also, if you micro vult against noobs, they'll have no idea what to do. (My zeals arn't killing vults? why not when it's 10 zeal v 1 vult?)
