Honestly if you want to put stuff in perspective like that every single build in Starcraft 2 is abusive. It's such a fucking retarded way to describe things. I guess he should have 4gated but that would have been abusive too. 3gate sentry expand is abusive too. It's just a matter of definition. Every race has its "cheap" strategies that can be very good if you fail to react to them nearly perfectly, and that's one definition of abusive I guess. I also tend to think of abusive builds as builds that take a concept to an extreme, if that makes any sense. Like in Brood war, if you watched the game between Jaedong and reality in MSL, reality's build went: 8 rax bunker rush --> vulture rush --> cloak wraith ---> mm with valkyrie push. That's a pretty abusive build, not only does it require nearly perfect reaction from the Zerg, it's not even all in if all of those are held off because the Zerg is guarenteed to lose some stuff in the process of defending (especially an 8 rax, its almost impossible to not lose a drone and a ton of mining time). That and it takes harass to an extreme, basically combining every annoying and effective harass build into one. It's such a subjective opinion though, I don't really see the purpose in arguing it and I don't understand why you're getting so worked up over a definition oO | ||

(Still down for me..kinda..just a frozen picture of a game) haha that's great dude, seen that commercial five times now. Eh, the first time I've seen in a while that it screwed up this much, I'm not gonna complain. Just wish it wasn't during a Sheth game | ||

FPS is much better and runs much more smooth :/, must be xsplit for NASL. Not hating on Xsplit, but there are fixes for the issues of it not running right | ||

Abusing a strategy is one thing, that's how the game is supposed to be fucking played, so what is an abusive player? One who uses strategies that counter other strategies? Why not just say "tactical" or "strategic" or "smart"... Abusive sounds like they're taking advantage of something unfair when used for a player. Exactly. Everything people describe as "abusive" could also be "tactical", "strategic", or "smart", words which indeed do have a perfect place to describe a strategy game. The need some people feel to use "abusive" for certain strategies is the dumb part. | ||

I'll stop now. | ||

They say they pause it but it takes a full minute for the notification/ refresh/ commercial to kick in. And then Sheth is ahead. Okay. lol | ||
