Regardless, Optic Flare is great fun against people who suck at the game (ie: 3v3s, 4v4s, etc.). Blinding stuff to nuke noob friends is fun as hell, after they get nuked their always trying to nuke you back, and when you let them you have made another SC:BW player who shall start visiting TL and get sucked into the vortex of Esports and competitive gaming. | ||

Then, when he was ready to push out coz he had obs, i blinded him. he said "now thats just rude". I used that time to double exp, but it wasnt enough as he was powering like crazy and rolled over me a few minutes later. | ||

I mean, expoing a bunch of times and getting attacked before your econ advantage kicks in isn't exactly indicative of your econ not being "enough". | ||

Your own mines, of course. It's basically an artificially created ally mine. I'm worried that the medic timing will be too late against obs to matter, but perhaps in certain case situations it would be useful | ||

If they are in the center of the ramp, you still won't be able to avoid them on the way up. Haha that's a terrible idea, You blind lurkers and when you try to walk over them ARRRRGG STOP LURKAR! | ||

Dunno, flaring zerg overlord is kinda bleh, there's nothing invislbe that terran has, ghost? we don't use them much, wraith? we can just kill the ovi. Maybe team game you go flair+DT. Mmm! | ||

Of course, Boxer only did that because he knew he was probably gonna lose anyway (or so I'd imagine). BTW, XCetron I was thinking the same exact thing haha.The ironic part of this comment is that BoxeR still lost that game. | ||

Yup ^^ It was the first time i decided to do that move, and i obviously didn think much so i miscalculated stuff. If i expoed normally and added facts, i'd probly have won the game. | ||

At least not against zerg (not enough flares for the ovies he has/can get) and toss usually had cannons. So yes, i'm talking about the noob level were PT is not that bad of a team. Maybe for an island map...Maybe team game you go flair+DT. Mmm! Oh, and about the lurkers, still with flare you can get them to kill 1 marine (that attack, the only one they spot) on one side and attack with the rest from the other. With enough marines you should be able to kill one before it attacks again. It needs high precision but it's doable. | ||
