Man, I haven't played Starcraft in five years. I just started up again last week and constantly get my ass kicked. If more toss would just use scouts instead of observers, the world would be a better place for Terran players everywhere. I fully support this very analytical and logical deduction!

:D

The stove, the stove ...
You can't be humiliated more. ( well except with pylon hearts :p )

I can't believe this hasn't gotten more attention. Hilarious.

I think when I am scouted by the obs-scout-muta-rax combo I'll just leave the game.

I see now why my Toss is so bad. This whole time I've been using observers instead of scouts when I offrace.

I use proxy nexuses. It's obviously the most cost efficient method in the game.
