FIRST TIME EVER REACHING C SO EXCITED
http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/teh_mentalist.html
I think I will be able to reach C+ depending how I do. There are still the occasional uber gosu Terran's+dropship harassment and uber gay zerg cheese's that I have trouble on, but other then that I don't really see a problem from reaching C+

Hey I played you the other day! You complained about my lack of LAN, I have to deal with that every game -_-

Just lost to a really imbalanced korean zerg. I can't let zerg tech up with fast hive/lurker defence because on outsider the dual gas means shit ton of ultras which is so so so so so hard to stop.....then they can drop wherever the fuck they want
|
Just dt drop main get really fast robo to drop your dts like bisu did against luxur on destination, don't even use sairs just let him look at he mini map

I consider this cheese and have done some extensive playing on it. At first I thought this was a cool strategy and stuff, but then I realized that you push back your storm/reaver tech(something for mass splash damage) and that gives zerg a nifty timing window so if your dt drop doesn't do enough damage, you won't be able to takea third base and sustain enough units

How can it not work\? if it works against arnc then it works against bad players and if it doesn't then at least you tried to fuck him up with harass the times I feel that the game was easy is when p just tries to mass and play defensive yyou've gotta work on your harass, I mean just look at gosi fling that kid knows his harass... lol maybe im just bad but i feel real comfotable when p just sits there you harass a little you fuck up his macro maybe im talking out my ass here but whatever and that needs punctuation and I wont bother

Congratulations man! Push it for C+ I'm sure you can do it

good job race

CREACHED! actually one time race you owned me on destination you brought 2 probes aand owned my drones then it was 2 gate it was over because i went 9 pool speed and you killed 2 drones that was pretty stressful i need a wank!

Wow i pretty much beat a C protoss straight up if it wasn't for a dt sneak? Atleast my ZvP is better than i thought .

Zerg can have cheesy tactics with units, Protoss can have cheesy units along with other stuff. Protoss is generally cheesier.
Either way, C is still an achievement, GJ!

Zerg is definitely the cheesier race in ZvP, and it's also a matchup where there are most fluke wins. when Zerg opens 9 pool speedlings they have many different cheese options. sure, Protoss can do various cheeses in PvT as well, but none that are efficient as ZvP cheeses.

not to brag but i can have near that eapm with only 190 apm >.>
GJ on C race C+ might be waiting for you before the season ends

ehh, no race is more cheesier than another, but certain match ups are cheesy, like ZvP against fast expand there are lots of cheesy builds that zerg can do, similarly TvZ bunker rushes and proxy factories, and in PvT the protoss can do lots of cheesy things too like proxy 7 pylon gate or proxy reavers/dts. it's not really worth arguing which race is more cheesy because all races have matchups where they can be cheesy, it's all a matter of opinion really.
edit: what the hell is with all people above C rank coming in here and posting about how they're above C rank, it makes you look insecure, like you have to 1 up the OP or something, weird.

Congrats.. today is a big day for me too.. i reached C-.. highest ever for me haha

Zerg build openers often depend on the map. Anything from 9pool to 12hatch ZvP is considered standard by most players. No forge FE and fast tech is often considered cheesy in PvZ by many players.
I guess it also depends on what you classify as cheese. Err by
Zerg can have cheesy tactics with units, Protoss can have cheesy units along with other stuff. I meant tactics, like doing things like runbys. I don't see how Zerglings would be the cheesiest unit. You can runby, so? Zealots can runby too. The unit is mean to be fast and weak. I don't consider that cheese. I would say lurker hopping across minerals and probe hopping for cannoning and stuff is though. That's what I was referring to as cheesy tactics.
Zerg builds often alter depending on the map and what Protoss follows up an FE with. Standardized Protoss is usually FE, so builds other than that are somewhat rare. It's not surprising to see a Zerg follow up with different builds because they need to adapt accordingly.
Cannon breaks from hydra play isn't cheesy IMO because it's not usually something you know you are going to do when you go into the game. If you notice the Protoss is skimping on cannons then you go for it. If you see he found out you made more hydras because of it he can add more cannons and it's no big deal to you. You can just not attack and you're not that far behind. You can't do that with 1base tech very well. You can't get a citadel in hopes of going fast DT, then see he scouted it and hope to come out ahead. You have to either attack or end up pretty far behind. It's cheesier than a cannon break for example.
I don't know if any of this makes sense to anyone else. I just got off work and am extremely tired lol.
Just my opinion anyway, don't mean to derailed the thread.

Just my opinion anyway, don't mean to derailed the thread. You must be tired because you don't make sense. I was really tempted to stop reading when you said Protoss has a cheese advantage over Zerg because they can proxy. You can't be serious. Zerg has overlords that see what the Protoss is doing, whereas Protoss doesn't know what the Zerg is up to if they go 9 pool Speedlings. I don't know what level you play at, but your arguments sound ludicrous at best. Sorry if I come off as rude - there's just no other word to describe them. 9 pool speedling itself isn't a cheese; it becomes cheese when you follow it up with an all-in. Zergs can win many games by running in speedlings if Protoss sets up a bad sim city or tries to be greedy, even at the slightest measures. How often do you see Protoss beating Zergs by doing "Zealot run-bys?" I mean, have you ever played a game of PvZ? Cheese wouldn't exist if you don't consider an all-in Zergling attack/run-by a cheese. If Protoss defends it, he wins; if he doesn't, he loses. Hydra cannon break isn't cheesy because you don't plan it? Most of times, Zerg decides that he is going to do it early on and plays accordingly by denying scouts and such. It's not something you can all of sudden decide you want to do it because you feel like it.
This is quite frustrating, so I am going to stop arguing with you regarding this topic.

Zerg is "cheesier" than Protoss ZvP/PvZ. Proxies are basically obsolete since pool first openings are pretty much standard nowadays. There are a huge number of "cheesy" Zerg followups to a speed build, too. The thing is, Protoss may have a lot of followups to FE, but virtually none of them are "cheesy" or all-in, partly because they always should be scouted by your overlord, partly because Protoss has no active threats with both delayed tech and delayed unit production in exchange for a stronger economy. The only "cheesy" Protoss builds I can think of are proxy gates and cannon rushes, which both lose to pool first openings. However, off of a 9pool speed, which you consider standard, Zerg can go 2hatch mutas, 2hatch hydra break, all-in lings, 2hatch lurker drop, etc. All of these rely on droning up to a specific number and then producing only units, are timed to hit as Protoss is still weak (gates aren't up and tech isn't finished), and are only successful (hopefully) when scouting is denied. I'm not complaining about 9pool speed followups; it's allows for really effective builds that capitalize on the weaknesses of Protoss FE. As long as the Zerg is good at denying scouting, though, it makes ZvP more of a gamble (will he have cannons in his main for mutas? will he have cannons up front for hydras? will he have a good probe block for a runby?) because you have to commit to a certain tech route (or playing standard) really early in your build, and it's not like you can really change it afterwards if you see them defending properly.
What are the cheesy Protoss units? Dark Templar? Corsairs? Reavers? And how is a hydra break not cheese? Are you hydra breaking off of 5hatch? And, if so, how??? Also, to put it into perspective (sort of), this season, I'm getting cheesed about 75% of the time vs Z and 20% of the time vs P.
Sorry if I sound kind of incoherent. I'm extremely tired right now. Also, I thought it was generally accepted that the race with greater cheesing possibilities in a MU mirrored the race with the advantage in each MU (Z>P, P>T, T>Z).

the majority of your games are against foreigners, so it doesn't count congrats anyway.

Zerg is full of cheesy shit end og discussion. I beat this one korean 2 times! And I only have 165 eapm. Mid game slows me down
|
oh your protoss, surprise
|
im a zerg player, yes i'd say there are more cheese builds for zerg in zvp. Who cares though? Stop discussing this shit like a dawn of war player would. We all know that every single build in starcraft is beatable.

I thought I could reach c+ easy too when I got to C

Actually Z has the least number of cheeses OVERALL, and T has the most overall. P is medicore
ZvP (Z has 2 hatch cannon break, 3 hatch ling all in, early pool, early mutas all-in) ZvT (None except early pool, offensive hatch is useless and impossible) PvZ (Few but not much, cannon rush, 5 gate goon all-in) PvT (Decent amount, DT rush, proxy gates, gas steal 2 gate, pylon block) TvZ (Bunker rush, early rax, valk wraith, fact lift into main, etc.) TvP (Bio all-in, 2 fac, wraiths, etc.)
|
lol wraiths tvp good one terran has the fewest cheese but nice try.
|
We get it, you have a vendetta against Terrans that you'll try to use anything that you can think of to push your point even if it's something as ridiculous as wraiths in TvP.
|
I've seen wraiths in TvP, it fails but it does catch Protoss off-guard alot
Just like how sometimes P will try scouts in PvZ (very rare but happens)
Just because wraiths doesn't work in TvP doesn't mean its not cheese. Cheese = pretty much anything not standard
|
You might as well add ghost rush TvZ and pure hydra ZvT then.

You should continue refuting my argument with one liner ad hominem attacks, it makes your point that much stronger

You could have made a better counter if you didn't resort to extreme examples
Ghost rush TvZ? At least early wraiths forces P to get detection as soon as possible.

Seriously, this isn't the thread for a define cheese argument, but your definition is ridiculous.
|
Hey man, Casy won by rushing to ghosts on Troy, and Luxury won against Hwasin on Destination in a game where he was seriously going pure hydra for extended periods of time against bio. The Casy game is much more applicable since Jju didn't fuck up the beginning of his game like Hwasin did, but regardless, I have some valid examples.
On the other hand, I can't think of one game where a Terran won by rushing wraiths in TvP. The only game I can remember is Leta vs Pusan on Andromeda where he went bio and wraiths and got owned really bad.
And if anyone looks back at your posts, you've been extremely biased against Terran players for basically your entire posting history with no rest. It gets really repetitive and predictable.

Yeah so what? I tend to repeat things for people like you. I'm also biased against people like you. Got a problem? I have my own opinions and if you don't like it, just ignore it. I always ignore the fact that you're a rude douche that always gives one liner insults to helpless new members when they're asking for help in strategy section.
Yeah and?

gj race
if you are 50% winrate C I would make a couple more acccounts and try to reach C with less losses to clean your game up. If you try to make a push to the next rank when you're already at 50% you're just going to be massgaming
