General opinion

So it's been fun playing some Starcraft again after a 3year hiatus. I've made C+ in a few days. I was pretty sick all week so I just spent a lot of time playing Starcraft and being on IRC and stuff. It's been fun playing Starcraft.

The games are getting a bit harder right now but still quite easy for the most part. One thing to add though: I SUCK vs Zerg. I still hate ZvZ so I play TvZ but suddenly everyone microes muta's like a god which is really frustrating to play against lol. I haven't run into many really good z players except one Korean with like 55-30 stats (C+). I killed his gas natural on Andromeda with some 3 rax rushing but it still went to a pretty close game. He still had another gas expo on the other side of the map though.

One other thing is that almost everyone quick expands nowadays. No-one seems to play onebase style anymore. Against protoss it's really easy to play imo. You can adjust so well to what they are doing and just start macroing at the correct moment. Although it was still easier to play against 1 base protosses lol.

Some games from today

So there was this game in the gamelist. Some guy was asking for C+, B-, B, B+ while he was B so why not. Turned out that this guy was 70-4. He had the sickest macro I ever played against, so siiick. He made a shitload of cannons even and I couldn't even do anything. He just went standard quick expand and afterwards he teched up to speed zealots, ranged goons, obs, 3 forges and a frightening number of 11 gates. In 15 minutes he was up to 3-2-2 upgrades and just steamrolled me.

Here is the rep, maybe someone can find out who that is haha.

Replay

I also made a replay pack for those interested.

Replaypack

Especially the last wingame is a huge rapegame =]. My skill level probably increased loads because of some rustiness disappearing after some games.

Nice to see old gamers getting back to play
I still remember a game against you some years ago (maybe 2003 or 2004, i don't really know). It was one of the first tournaments i played and i got to play against you in round 1. I was very bad back then and got pretty exicted to play someone known like you.
So the game started TvZ on blue storm and i somehow managed to bunker rush you and kill your natural expansion. Really happy that i was in such a good position the game went on and you came back with lurker drops and mass ultras later on. :D

I watched that replay, it seems if you didn't attack but just waited you coulda won because he didnt take a third and made 11 gates off 2 bases. He also didnt use storm so maybe just lurk containing while stalling to outmass him lategame could work. His macro was very good though.
You are crushing me like a cheese sandwich

It looks like he stops building probes when he gets to about 2.5 per patch. Obviously premeditated all-in, because he did not expect to need to transfer probes later. 2.5 is pretty much ideal, although 3 would be completely saturated, your gains aren't increased very much at this number.

A very smart player, to be sure. Not many people think about this. This is what enabled him to spend so much money on army.

EDIT: He got EXACTLY 50 probes :O 16 patches plus 3 probes per geyser, 42/16 :O Hummmm... lol.

Cool blog, thanks for the rep pack. I always thought that you were way too godly to quit sc.. I guess this kinda proves it if you are inactive for like 2-3 years and still easily go 40-7

Hm.. yeah I hsouldn't have attacked with the 6 lurker + 36 ling, but I underestimated his army and wanted to stop his third expand.

I'm pretty sure he was just dicking around playing without temps and without expanding actually. Just wanted to kill me quickly by making a SHITload of units haha.
