EPT"I cannot beat 6pool rush. How do you do it?"
I gave him my best advice, and then 6pooled him a few times. He won the third game, and never looked back at that kind of cheese. Now we're both diamond.

Blizzard's not going to patch out rushes. Dustin Browder said they want them to be possible even though it makes new players unhappy and David Kim called them a core part of the game. Wow thanks for the link didn't know they had these online xD Should have known. Also, although you are using very plain language, some people may think you are mocking them for not removing rushes xD. Damn, removing rushes... the game would definitely suck. All balance would be lost =O anyways thx for the link xD | ||

Not that I don't also like games where you just line up your armies and go at it. I used to play a lot of Total War. I quit because the multiplayer community is sparse. | ||

Once you survive a cheese you really feel that you have achieved something, but that only counts if you continue to win the game as a whole. I never cheese but I kind of enjoy playing VS cheese, it becomes a diffrent kind of game. well, not everyone who cheeses is a bad macro player. there are plenty of really good players who either cheese once in a while to keep up to date with their "cheesing-skills" or who cheese to maximize the points-per-ladder-session. in general, cheese can be considered a form of early game attack. if such an attack inflicts enough damage, then it will ofc allow the cheesing player to enter a longer macro game on even grounds although the cheese was held off. | ||

You will hopefully build up intuition about when opponents cheese, in what positions cheese is favorable, what maps are more cheese-tastic, what are the tells that he's cheesing (for example, terran that doesnt take gas is highly suspicious), and roughly when the timings are. Without cheese, the game would be perhaps too predictable. You never want to be known as "the standard player". | ||

I know what you mean, man. It's just cause this game is really hard, and it's almost like work. Not only that, the nature of the game makes you very anxious and kinda shoots your nerves because of how critical every little thing is. In my opinion, this is the sign of a GOOD GAME. I'm glad it's not like COD where you can just turn it on and get killed like 10 times in 2 minutes and just keep going. There's no significance to it. | ||

Anyways, I have friends who refuse to play, and they blame it on many of the same things. They're afraid that everyone will cheese. If it affects you then, go play custom games or vs. AI. If you can just try and deal with it, realizing that the other person is not a pro, and is just as clueless as you are... You'll be just fine. | ||

You'd expect to see cheese there a lot, but I didn't. My opponents were as slow scared of me as I was of them, and I mostly played defensive macro games, believe it or not. I still resort to macro games now that I somehow made it to Silver. | ||

So my advice would be to get yourself a standard BO for each matchup and practice that over and over again. As I understand it in Bronze League it's not even common to have a standard opening like 10 depot, 12 rax, 13 gas, 15 orbital, so you might want to work on that first. If you feel it's just completely impossible to stop a certain cheese with your usual opening you have to make minor adjustments. Maybe delay your gas on Steppes in favor of a quicker second supply depot if you KNOW a 6pool is coming at you. Just some simple examples, I don't even know if you're playing Terran... :> Eventually you'll be happy when someone cheeses you because it's basically a free win. | ||

You're not improving because you aren't proactively seeking out the flaws in your game-play and improving upon it. If you're in Bronze for some time, either: a) You don't know what a build order is. b) Your macro is horrendous. c) You have limited game sense. d) You don't scout. d) Combination of the above. Watch the replays of your losses. Identify what you did wrong. Don't repeat the same mistake the next game. Of course, you can't fix bad macro in one game, but you need to start addressing your game flaws if you seek improvement. | ||
