Using everyday logic, regardless of my starcraft knowledge: Why is it then that an A++ player opted for this build against an other A++ player?
And what did he scout in Calm's build that made him stick with it?

I cannot believe that it only worked because its so bad, he shouldnt have been using it in the first place:-p
There must be something to this build that we're missing...

No, there's something to this player that you're missing. This is BackHo. The BackHo!
He plays by no mans rules but his own. Everyday logic simply isn't relevant. BackHo just does shit. He rolled his build order dice, it decided he was going to make dts this game and that's what happened.

One thing to note is that Calm was incredibly greedy and really skimped on sunkens. If DTs get used again, all Calm needs to do is put a sunken at each base with an ovie. Insta-win.

Looooool typical backho being retarded, it was just luck that he won. If you really watched the game you would have seen how easily his attacks were handled for the most part. It was just the ninja DT that did the trick and allowed him to win.

This is even a pretty bad map to use the strat on. It would be more effective on a map with an exposed 3rd rather than a map with a 3rd that can be walled very effectively.



If you're so high and might to call a pro-gamer retarded why aren't you pro?


I just want to say as much as I respect and am in awe of progamers' skills, they aren't the best decision-makers around. People like us aren't amateurs because we lack intelligence. But rather it's not feasible for us to sleep/eat SC 24/7 and raise our APM to 300+ to compete with the best.



If you really think high apm and good macro mechanics will make you pro, you're sadly mistaken, there are alot of people in iCCup with 300+ APM and insane mechanics, so why aren't they pro?
