Broodwar has been around for a long, long time, and as play becomes more and more refined, we start to see less and less innovation. This isn't yet another "zho noes, bw is dying?" posts, but rather one to bring some fun back into this game, as it's been starting to fade for me. Hence why I made the blind SC topic awhile ago. :p
Now. Onto point: I want to hear (and see reps, if possible) of everyone's craziest strat wins. Anything, from just being cute with Queens to rushing with shield batteries and intimidating your opponent with your sheer ability to save energy.
I'll start things off, though, sadly, I do not meet my own optimal criteria by not having a rep. I've won two games with this (lost one) and I'll describe the more skilled of the two.
I made a random game on LT (yeah, yeah) and felt like playing TvT, oddly enough. So, I choose our humanoid counterparts, waited, and fate brought me one of the massive numbers of turtling terrans lurking on B.Net. I asked him if he was ready and he eloquently replied, "fuck u."
I knew this was going to be fun.
I watched the timer go down and just before it hit one, I had a stroke of brilliance. I was going to try something new. I was going to try something so utterly retarded that it had to win by someone completely being caught off guard by it.
I was going to four barracks.
Landing in at nine o'clock, I send my starting SCVs out to mine that sweet blue nectar, waiting impatiently for 150 to hit and hoping like hell that he doesn't scout me fast. I send out one of the faithful to the center of the map, where my 4rax went up, a monument to riskiness, retardedness, and fun. As my Barracks neared completion, I caught sight of exactly what I didn't want to see. An enemy SCV. He had scouted my barracks, but would it be enough?
I sent the eight SCVs I had out, scouting six and finding that beautiful luck was once again with me, discovering my flamer opponents base. One rine accompanying, another in queue, I charged him with literally everything I had, including my CC which I had floating on the way. He had no rines up yet, but one was about to pop out, heading to a bunker being built near his mineral line. I desperately tried to surround it with my SCVs, but with my awesomely noobish hands I missed. I had gotten some shots off with my rine, but it hadn't done enough damage to kill it off.
In a moment of clarity, I decided to attack the SCV building the bunker, unleashing a mighty cry as my SCVs jetpacked over towards it menacingly. By this time, his own SCVs were swarming me, outnumbering my own. It was a struggle to micro at a blazing 60 apm (don't knock the speed, yo), but I managed to keep my rines alive. However, the bunker was nearly complete and I hadn't killed the SCV making it! I relaunched myself full force at that lone unit as his retreated, sure of their victory now that the bunker was to be built. The SCV finished the bunker, slid away and that crybaby of a rine rushed forward, trying to dive into the bunker.
He was, apparently, at five health. One of my unmicroed, forgot about SCVs that was near his CC, picked him off turning around for just a second before going back to happily sawing off pieces of his main.
I was rewarded with my efforts by another "fuck u" and even got the praise of "u fucking cheater" before he decided he'd overcomplimented me and left the game.
And there it is, about five minutes of gameplay in a super-long, pointless write up. I'm sorry if I've unduly wasted anyone's time. I just like writing and trying to make everyday gaming as fun as possible.

hmm i got a rep somewhere of me winning a pvp where both of us 2gate into goons. i make like expoing and he goes to do the same. i see this, take all of my probes and time it so that i surround his goons with probes and rape with goons. my friend was obsing, it was pretty sexy =p
|
I played this kid in a pub last week, and he dropped after I was beating him (2gate rush). I found him again, and he 2gate proxied, so I lost as I couldn't scout it.
So, I found him a third time, went 2gate/forge, and cannoned his main. He retreated to the corner expos while I expanded myself (I intentionally wanted to act like a douchebag, seeing as he's a disc'er), and quickly maxed out and then literally took every expo on the map.
After a while, I got bored. I stormed my own army until it was mostly dead, then suicided what was left into his cannons.
I then massed DA's with MC. From here, he took out two of my expos at the top with some zealots, so I MC'ed them and finished off what I couldn't MC due to lack of energy. At this point, I'd almost mined out the entire map, as almost every expo was saturated do to me making so many probes.
I left four DA's at the top middle expo, and just as I suspected, he attacked it...but with five carriers. I stole four, killed the fifth, and laughed.
He dropped.

still upset it wasn't a pimpest play =(
amazing how the map design worked out in our favor though, with just barely enough room over each patch of water so it would be hit on either side or by a goon on those super small patches of island
|
One time I played a game vs a good friend on Rush Hour. Me T and him P. I got screwed over by an early reaver drop, but somehow I gundam'ed or something, and ended up nearly killing him. His shuttle died. He had to walk his reaver all the way across Rush hour to save his main. Then he walked his reaver all the way back to my base to kill me. I died. It was funny as hell watching his poor reaver walking all the way across the map.
It was one of the more fun ways I lost.

TvZ mass vesels, not atacked with marins only for defense and iradiate all the zerg had, won the game only using vesels in atack :D iradiated all his army and drones :D

Wow, that was epic. So many little things that could've been wrong, but ended up being just enough to win.

started with a 10/10 gate into fast double shield battery rush. The positions were 12/6 on LT and it was pretty much a 66% chance for me to get it right, but no...the guy was at 6 -_-. It ended up being a 50 minute game with alot of storms, lotta drops, and 200/200 fights. Pretty fun, but I got pissed off he wasn't dying so I made hallucinated archons and just raped him. No deflier / queen = hahaha.

i once played a lost temple game against a protoss... pvp. i ended up at 6 and he ended up at 3. I went cannon push across map. pretty retarded game but i still won

I won a 3v3 hunters noob! game. Me and my allies decided to go triple P and only build probes, cannons, and scouts for units that can attack. We won too, but the rep is corrupted by now.

Stove vs t
Queens/Drones vs p
Queens/Drones/Defilers vs t
Firebats vs p/t
Scouts vs t
These are all against public noobs though.
I beat someone by infesting their CC in under 10 minutes, that was pretty memorable.
|
I've played this guy like 6 times on bnet and he sucks, so....I guess the 450 apm that he's so proud of doesn't help that much. Nice video though. Also why would he queue scvs to 13 before making a refinery...and why move his scvs around so much, he isn't correcting their mining path, just wasting time moving them lol
My best game was probably one where I played a friend and we both ended up at the 45 minute mark with no money, no bases, and a couple units. It was a tvp, and I barely won the final fight with a vulture being leftover with 2 hp. Then I proceeded to kill him with it. He had no cannons at the buildings he had left so it was over ;p
|
that has to be the newbiest protoss ive seen in a long time...lol!
|
PP rep of a game I had recently (the filehost changed the file name, you may need to rename it to shorten the length so that BW will recognize it). My opponent had just returned from a month-long hiatus from BW. Prior to his break from BW, I'd only beaten him a couple times. I'm 5-1 vs his protoss since his return (0-1 vs his terran). He's rusty, I'm a little better, that's the way things go, I guess. Anyway, this game I scouted him and noticed that he was at 7 oclock, that he'd 1 gated, so was probably teching, and that he was at diagonal positions from me, so I wasn't likely to face a whole lot of early pressure. 7 o'clock's main has a unique shape in that its south portion isn't typically used or travelled through until around mid-game. So I decided to proxy my third hatch there and sunken "rush" him (fully expecting to have to cancel it). My hope was that it'd make his main unusable and distract him while I attacked from the north, which is pretty much how it played out. His macro just falls apart after he notices the creep, and he tries a few ways of getting rid of the proxy, which fail. Probably the gayest thing I've ever gotten away with in a game.
|
Rep (PP)
Friendly game on West. PvP with proxy in center, proxy in opponent base, stealing his main to expand after getting my own razed and taking islands. I'm pretty sure I'll never play a game like this again.
|
I was playing PvT. It was very hard macro game. I've made 2 carriers, then i saw i've forgotten PSI storm upgrade cause of my mistake i've done the hallucinations for HT. So i've shown my 2 carriers to opponent, cause i wanted show him that i have nothing to win with him, then hallucinate this carriers so i'll get about 12 carriers. I've attacked him by my whole army. 5 binds of unites + this hallucinated 12 carriers. GG without fight ^_^
|
wah so many things~
my coolest win was some game in WGT tvp where my opponent crushed my main base i was 6 he was 3 but both naturals of 6 were empty so i flew all my buildings to 9 and made a massive defence game ended up with 3 and 12 being outta mins and 9 being the only place where there was still mins, i mined it up and defeated him... i think that game was 1 hr+ but unfortunately the replay is corrupt T_T
nice game tho ^^
well ive played so many games im sure there were more cool things but i cant remember any right now ^^;
|
Could be one of those ZvT where I did offensive hatchery.
I also won a game w/ burrowed lings to break a protoss' ramp :D jail break style.
THere's one memorible PvZ:
It was 3v12 on LT, I went 2 gate mass zealot, camped outside his nat, which had about 4 sunkens. I went a robo and 2xstargate. Made a shuttle, lifted my 10 zealots into his main, and just as I was goign to kill his spire, his lings came and killed my zealots. Spire was at 40 health. I loaded a dragoon, and the hero dragoon finished the spire up. As his mutalisks flew to my main, they were greeted by 4x corsairs and he promptly typed gg

pvt: 1gate dt/shuttle harrass into double island expo and pure carrier
pvp: 4robo reaver

Anyone remember the pimpest play of a random c5 wgt guy owning a pvp by blocking his probe in with pylons behind his opponents minerals then cannoning it?
Well, in a pgt game pvp on that same map, i owned it. I had already had this counter planned out ever since i watched the pp video. So, he managed to get both pylons up and his probe blocked in. So i stack my probes on one mineral patch and I pylon jump one probe over. The funny thing was he tried to run his probe away giving me the first hit. After that, I felt like I should have made it in the pimpest plays.
|
hmm... i think its the game where i built 2Robitics bay in the T's base and popped out 4 reavers. i saw sonic do it and it actually really worked

i really think ive had most possible scenarios happening lol
one that stands out is once I was going hydra queen zvz against some guy who opened with muta and took island (this was LT)
I sorta just waited in my base building a huge army of upgraded hydras and then right when I was supposed to go attack him (I hadnt really scouted at all) he came with guardians on my cliff
then I just decided to counter attack and went with all my hydras down to him
but shit he had lurkers and i had no detection
but lol then I parasited one of his overlords and then I could see the lurks
and then I ended up winning cause he hadnt had gas for much more than guard/lurker.
and the first time i did pylon prison was really sweet
I think the move I've done that I was like, the happiest about coming up with ever was a tvz vs testie in vanilla starcraft where I was 12 and he was 9, and where I ended up losing
but it was so cool like I did a fast tank push with bunker and stuff
and he countered with fast broodling lol
and his counter would have worked cept I built 2 engineering bays and constantly had them lifted above my tanks so it wasnt possible to broodling them
and then I was able to just contain him for a long time
but unfortunately I hadnt bothered building any more engbays than those I had lifted, so even tho I at one point had 4 mining bases against his main + natural, combinations of my units being spread out, me having 0/0 marines vs his 2/2 going on 3/3 zerglings made me actually lose
and it was sad.
but it was also really cool.

Pure scoutsair PvZ. Not a single other units but probes, and one shuttle. Decent web casting is the key.

I'd been hoping that you'd reply. :D
I wish more people played like you, mixing skill with fun innovation. Though, I guess that'd take away from your uniqueness. :p
I watched the two reps posted. The start of that PvP reminded me of that Rekrul vs Corbalt(?) game a long time ago, when the USA's A team was loaded and going full force. :p
Hidden hatch was cool, too.

zvz i floated drone over to island base on LT asap and secretely massed lings + hive.
ended up winning it by nydusing his main and rushing all my lings in, haha
|
Got my vespene stolen early in a 12 v 3 tvp.
I tried countering with dual rack academy but he had about 3-4 goons + 2 lots. I somehow managed to stim past them completely and sealed off the ramp with the meds.
When he finally broke through, there weren't any probes left.

i had this pub match yesterday on luna where i was losing to a toss
it was actually a really frustrating game for the first 30 minutes (41 minute game btw), where he denied all the expoes and took them afterwards
i actually don't take pub games seriously, and usually play them for tests
guess what i was testing =)?
i tried to copy july's sauron zerg against therock (but i didn't have the hatches and expos to support it)
so by the 30 minute mark, i had triple evo, tons of minerals, only my main and my nat, a few hydras, and no gas, so i decided, well...i've got nothing better to do, so i pumped lings nonstop. after another 10 minutes, all his expos were totaled, his main was gone, all he had was his bottom left expo. in the last intense moments of the game, he swarmed me with carriers, and i swarmed him with lings. sadly, he had a pylon wall with dark templars in between, and i had no detection. so my lings got stalled long enough to all be killed =(, while his carriers did their work on my base
i ended up losing but it was an enjoyable loss =)
|
Yesterday I played a game on US East. I took island, then I went to shower, smoked a cigarette and do my laundry. When I came back I was still able to win him :D
|
I remember this game vs bine where I attacked with 6 carriers and he ran me over with 432432432 ultra/lings. I ended up running all over the map building pylon after pylons trying to stay alive and finally I killed his last ultra with some stray DT
rly fun game :p
|
i had a 2v2 lt game and they killed my expo and my main and i just had a island expo and i managed to put up and spire and mass mutas in the end....
|
Managed to win by copying that pimpest plays nominations for some year I can't remember. I was T in a TvP at 12LT, and floated my CC to my 2nd nat after i built my first scv. I went 2 rax after this and attacked with marines + 12 scv but didn't manage to finish him off. I was lifting to the islands in the mean time, then proceeded to win the game using dropships and running off the 2 islands.
|
ooooold replay TvZ (my race is Z but i went T on thisone)
Nukes, vessels, etc, 1h06mins
I know I'm noob too, but that was so funny. In the end I was letting him getting expos so I could nuke them.

My friend once took down an entire mining line with one probe. I kid you not. The most retarded thing I've ever seen.
I, on the other hand, took down an entire base with a 3 zeal + goon harassing rush. Like a 5 minute game. Also played a really shitty zerg, dt walled his ramp, and harassed his expo. The result? A pile of blood and about 40 dead hydras.

Hmm
built a hatch in the corner of peaks once while I was 9pooling Rage(T) who didnt see it
got a few sunks towards his minline and a nice 'GG' ^^
Also once in a while RaGe and I double scv rush in 2v2's and then float to the islands on LT where we turtle up and do massive gay stuff to win
Incase you've once lost a game like that: Hi! That was us!

Well, NEVER underestimate a double scvrush. Your main building and workers are dead within a few sec. The main problem is the ally who can either macro hard or do a fast drop on one of the islands.
It works better if one T stays on land though, the other T can still defend with his workers since he's floating off to the island anyway.
Sometimes we just 5pool+scvrush since its a lot stronger than the doubleT strat though.
Try it out, its fun!
|
Me and my friend used to do this strat where on LT where if he got 12 and I got 6 we both make 1 worker while mining and when he comes out we both 5 scv rush and lift our CC to closest island and rebuild while raping 1 guy (preferably zerg). Sometimes people's allies would send workers over to help the fight but that just made it much easier for us to win the mid/late game 2v1 If we didn't finish the original opponent 1 off and go rape or harrass the other guy 2 into the floor.

XenZei is pretty good actually (at least TvZ/PvZ), I think he overplayed his APM for the video and made a lot of mistakes that he normally doesn't make. He actually could have won right with the first bunker he threw down uphill if he kept the attack on, he could have even ended it with the first marines and bunker up the ledge in the first place as the toss continued to tech and not scout.
People are dumb they know to steal gas but they don't know what to do against the counters that happen to people who get their gas jacked.
That game was pretty stupid and not very skilled or unorthodox from either player.
|
no ganfei was right xenzei is one terrible gamer.
|
thats some high level gaming right there from both players
|
|
|
Not a great game. THe protoos player fucked up. Sending those goons out to attack the bunker was dumb. If he had just defended his ramp with them and gone shuttle+reaver he could have won.
|
Best way I won once was on LT, vs a toss. I was z he was P, and when I scouted I saw that he might have been the worst player ever. He only had 5 miners mining.
Anyhow, so I decided that I would just expo everywhere, and then PUMP ovies nonstop rallied to his base until he couldn't select anything anymore.
He had a goon and I think 2 cannon, but it didn't matter with the assload of ovies I sent. He tapped without me attacking at all.
|
I remember doing a boxer rax lift against a protoss. It was a 2v2 match.. I am not a good player at all, and I play really crappily. So I messed up walling in at 6 on lt. The protoss at 9 was apparently doing a quick one base reaver drop. So..i had a bunch of supply depots at my ramp. and an academy.
I was pissed that night and just felt like doing crazy strats, so I made 4 raxes and floated them to the corner of 9 main, pretty much exactly like boxer. I made like a whole squad of mnm and kicked the protoss tail. He didn't even know I had em there. I am pretty sure we won that 2v2 game as well. I lost the replay due to my computer being eaten by metal spiders unfortunately.
I did a nuke rush 2v2 as well on LT. It was a TT/TP I think. I nuked the terran, I was THIIIIIIIIIS close to destroying his main. It was sweet how I transitioned after the nuke, well..I felt like a cool guy pulling it off, I am not going to lie. But I made like 4 factories instantly afterwards, and broke through the contain they retaliated with, I may had to of float to the island. I was on 12 that game and nuked 3. I don't know about you guys, but the adrenaline of getting a nuke off...
But we eventually won the game in a long 40 minute epic battle. Wraiths and bc's flying everywhere. And then crushing them without submitting to ally win pleads, every last building HooRa! I remember stealing an island expo before the other guy, build my cc right before he landed his, haw haw haw.
I just recently played a team melee, it was on the hunters. I guess my marine got glitched INSIDE the mineral patch and got a few kills on the workers, It was 1v2 team melee, I had no partner. But they did a dumb double fe strat. meh they kicked my tail the next game... I play like a real man and just one base gogogo.
Thats just plain savage pooper-scooper!
It seems I always won 2v2 with just a ridiculous strat, like I eff up at the beginning and think, Crap I ought to build like 3 more raxes and forget about gas!

team micro arena, I had just alot of fun playing that, just running around with dark archon hero maelstroming everything.
Yeah I thought, well..since I dont need emp, I will just d matrix the ghost, haha. To be honest, I don't think I did any..REAL damage with the nuke, cause he pulled away his workers and such, but he had to repair that dang thing for sure! It probably screwed up his mind alot.

It was a tvp, and I barely won the final fight with a vulture being leftover with 2 hp. Then I proceeded to kill him with it. He had no cannons at the buildings he had left so it was over ;p
He didn't even split his SCVs well -_-;;

I believe the most creative way I have won is either
I 14 nexus pvt to quick dt on luna (it was 10 vs 4).... he does was I most fear and rushes me with marines/scv/ few tanks/ vults.... knowing that all hope was lost for my 14 nexus I manage to sneak by his units with 1 probe and build a proxy gateway IN HIS BASE!
success, I win (there is only 1 good spot to in base proxy on luna... and its not even that good)
later I watched the replay only to find out that my proxy gateway was CLEARLY visible to him, he was just too busy killing my 14 nexus to realise it LOL! ... before he knew it , GG
that or
pvz on gaia 1 vs 5, I manage to build a proxy gateway in his base (with scout probe, only done cause I knew he didnt see much of my scout) without getting noticed lol (gaia is a good map to in-base proxy when your opponent is at the 11 position or the 1 position, not good at all for other positions).... I timed my templar archives adequately so that I could build a dt asap from the proxy gateway at the same time I did my reaver build, the first dt that pops out of the gateway manages to do some damage(kill some drones), but not too much, so I rely on my reaver for harass and to safely expo, my reaver manages to distract him from even killing the proxy gateway so I get a few more DTs out from there (i forget if he killed it before he left), and I kill enough drones and shit that once he spots my expo he types gg
those were the short games at least... long game I would have to say
one game I played on Longinus pvz vs a guy that I played alot vs over hamachi (im so much better there) anyways it was a 30 something minute game and it was pretty much the basic pvz on longinus for first 15 mins as far as I remember
I scouted his greater spire about maybe 17 mins into the game so I decide 'hey, I have too much cash, Ill just get scouts instead of corsair' (if you have too much cash, you might as well cause scouts barely cost more gas than corsair) .... so I precede to build a few scouts from my 1 stargate, before I know it, I have about 3-4 scouts that are incredibly easy to micro (use p), so I use the scouts to kill his guards, harass his drones, force him to build many spores at his new expos.. so basically I harass him with these scouts and then rush in my zealots at the same time as his spores come lol.... he built spores not sunkens so my zealots and other ground units could easily destroy him... all cause of 4 scouts (on a side note, scouts can be very usefull late game pvz, they distract hrydras,harass drones at expos, take damage, SCOUT, require 3 scourge to die, and are easily microed ,seriously its as easy as microing vultures) But of course one should only build scouts if he has the money to.... and should absolutely not get any scouts if hes low or about even in money
those were fun games

Haha. That was pretty nice. Good job. :p
I won't spoil it, as you seem to want to write it up yourself.

My craziest game was about 3 years ago, PvZ on LT, me as toss at 9, zerg at 6. I started with gate/forge and cannoned his expo. Then, I proceeded cannoning his main. He defended with sunks and lings, making my progress tremendously slow, so I decided to slap down an expo. A quick search for the most easily defendable position revealed it to be... his natural. So, imagine this, I have cannons on his high ground, 2 or 3 in my main, and about 5 in his nat where I also have a warping nexus. The next moment he came up with a doom lurker/ling drop on my main, demolishing all but a handful of probes. Simoultaneously, I start a deciding attack at his main. The result: his main falls, I have but a handful of zealot/goon, a few probes and a warping nexus at his nat protected by a billion cannons. He has: a handful lurker/ling (in protection mode, as I don't have obs) and 2 hatches morphing in my main and natural, some ovies and a few drones he managed to save in his ovies by the time his main fell. We effectively switched bases and started playing from scratch. However, I managed to get my economy up faster than him (thx to those cannons I didn't have to worry about lings) and killed him soon after. This still stands out as the best game I've ever played.
Another game was very recent (when I get my main computer up I'll be able to post a replay) and would've been pretty ordinary 2 gate zeal/temp vs 3 hatch hydra only if I didn't lose my natural three times. (I've never even thought about getting a second expo) How did I manage to win stays out of my comprehension. Maybe that had something to do with upgrades.

man thats hilarious
his desire to have a huge apm is actually making him a worse player. he gets less done with 400 than I do with 150 =[
not to mention that he actually seems to slow down every time having a high apm would be beneficial. lol

Wow, I didn't know parasite also gave u vision to cloaked units? WTF? Someone confirm this?(too lazy to check) Oh, and drone u can probably submit that replay to this year's pimpest plays since it was actually one sweet move that won u the game!

Parasite gives you vision of whatever unit you've parasited. Units that can detect cloaks (Overlords, Observers, Science Vessels) that have been parasited will give you their full vision, detection included, because it is literally part of their vision parameters.

Why not? You have too many replays and don't feel like digging it out or?

1: old comp is at my parents place
2: I have no idea who the opponent is or how I named the rep
3: prolly don't have it, it's just a slight possibility
it was like 3-4 years ago at the least, some random wgtour season but I have no idea which
the game vs testie that I also described was even before replays;)

I had some more fun today playing a friend. I decided it'd be a goof off game, using only Queens and Defilers to kill him. O, and a few Infested Terrans. >.>
Replay.
It's by no means an art game (rather boring to watch, I'd expect), but it was fun for me to play, which is more than I can say for your average macro-fest game. :p
[And I know neither of us are great players. We play the game for fun, not for holy gosuness. :p]
