i would suggest you turtle with tanks from 2 factories then make bcs from 1 starport. this holds off all attacks until you're mined out and cant do anything but repair ur shit. at this point the only solution is to desync. optimal desync is around 49 minutes. also never use hotkeys.

Hi again,

I'm just wondering if anyone has been able to beat single player 1v3 insanes (not FFA) in starcraft2? Haven't been able to find any replays nor strategies.

Thx!


I've done it, I'll give you the replay for one hundred bucks

But anyway, you're better off using the race Athene claims to play to do this. You've no chance of winning a macro game and the easiest way I've found to do this is to select a shared base and just cannon rush. You need to start building the pylon a good distance away though because AI has fog of war haxx and will send all workers to attack if you're too close.

The replay he provided was pretty neat, very well optimized.

In other news, it finally makes sense that AtheneWins (the Protoss account) was actually KiWiKaKi and he has been playing Terran all along on another account called Furious (Terran, ~2000 masters). In a previous video he demonstrated some things using the race as well. A sly detail caught in this video is that he pretends to have never really played the race and to not be aware of buildings that the Terran are able to build.

In any case, I had no idea this was possible. Thanks for sharing.

You can't win a 1v2 vs Insanes without doing something extremely gimmicky (ie something that wouldn't work against a good normal player). This includes cheese, Kiwikaki's strategy (massing tanks in your base), and stuff like floating your command center to an island on LT and massing BCs off one base.
No tears now, only dreams.

he said he didn't know what a orbital command was but he also claimed to be owning it up in masters. The dumb nerd owned himself.

OMG ITS ATHENE <3. I'm not sure its possible to beat 2 insane computers but maybe if you can block ur ramp and hold the first push you would have a shot w/ a counter off like 3-4 rax.

He used a different account to play the game vs AI in.

Someone got a link to his other account? Having a replay that desinq's isn't proof of anything.

it's called acting.

athenewins is almost as big troll as me. except that he's got much lower iq.

I wonder how good he would do in GO (baduk). If he gets to 3dan in 6 months, then he's better than me.
