Well, by cheesing you can greatly reduce the time played because such games tend to end fairly quick. I try not to cheese too much but... there is no other choice on Blue Storm. Cheese is just too tempting.

I haven't encountered anyone dodging but that might be because my stats are so bad. However, people dodging will most likely be hurt by it in the end. You don't get very far with such an insecure attitude

.
I see this as an opportunity to play the best foreign players, and I've already had my share (TT1, Goody, Mondragon, Yayba etc). It's been very fun so far.

So when I kicked off laddering for TSL I was thinking "fuck yeah, now I can show my stuff to everyone" and I was having a pretty good time. I played some good people; I played Machine, IdrA, sky (I've been told this is WhistleR), TT1, Worked, and other players also on TSL tags, some good games, some bad games.

I've seen a fuckton of cheese (even from the "top" players I played) however ~~; Like, from all the past seasons and ladders played, I have never seen so much all-in cheese everywhere, it's increadible.

Anyway, how can I complain ;] Money is involved, and alot of it, so it's fair for people to play at any way they please ^^

Oh, and alot of people seem to dodge good record people, which I think is pretty stupid =/

EDIT - And nony just stomped me ; ]

Yeah no kidding. Out of ten tvps I played today on blue storm, nine of them involved some kind of proxy gate either inside or outside my main, followed up with cannon rush or something like that. I fucking hate blue storm early game.

For low level players, this is definitely a chance to get games with the top...I should've been there when everyone was D...but now they're all C+...

I agree. I think this guy should get a special determination award or something.

The web-page is having some tech-issues but there are plenty of people online at the actual server.

Starting out strong with 4 straight losses, i get raped mercilessly by every D- on the ladder.

Look out TSL-Katoan, your spot isn't safe for much longer!

Really? I think #48 will be A.

So really what are the predictions for what is needed to get that #48 spot? I'm praying I can get to A- but thats if I play hard and a lot of games with maybe a 48% win percentage.

So is it abusing if someone leaves a game after you gas rush them or just really, really lame?

yeah it's really really lame, i try to submit complaints when shit like that happens (i always get points for it promptly) but people who don't care enough let the dipshits that do that get away with it

does anyone else think it's funny that some people think we're this huge, ridiculously active clan full of really skilled players

I've noticed an unfortunate consequence to my "do nothing but cheese" style of play: sometimes the person you cheese manages to spot it and stop it but is too inept to finish you off. Then you spend 30 minutes clawing your way back to victory, which defeats the point of cheesing in the first place.

It's a cruel, cruel world in which we live.

No they arent allowed to do that, that's abuse. Report it and it'll get fixed, if it doesn't pm me directly on here and I'll take care of it.
