People who play random are indecisive about what race they want to play.
They dont have time to nail down any hardcore strategies, so they need an extra advantage.
They cant win straight up because they're not good enough, so they resort to all-ins.

Obviously they are not serious players, so they shouldnt be treated as such.
So, they will continue on 10 pooling, cannon rushing, or 2 rax/marine all-ining because its all they know how to do.


Nice misconception, actually random players get cheesed more than they actually cheese. Also, if a random player cheeses, he/she is effectively using the advantage given to him/her by playing random which is something I think everyone can agree on is a good idea. However, cheesing as a random is actually quite hard since there exists that mis conception that Randoms are "only" cheesers so everyone plays Extra defensive.

Please don't pretend to know what you're talking about, I all-in, cheese, and play standard and play non-standard and I'm a random player. Isolating randoms as majority cheesers is just ignorant.

Makes sense. Random is a good way to get the feel and mechanics of each race. Also good for getting them portraits.

LOL "serious players"
Do tell me, how "serious" do you take SC2? Enough to give up everything to pursue the career of a pro-gamer? If not, then I advise you to shut up and get out of your little bubble because you're just playing for fun like everybody else. Grow up.


Quite a straw man, you don't need to be a pro gamer to take gaming seriously, if that were the case then the SC2 Strategy sub-forum wouldn't exist since 99% of the people posting there are not pros.

Most tournaments dont allow random. I always just allin random players on ladder, even if they're a "macro" player.
