in a team game if their portrait is a probe and they are toss it means they are cannon rushers or 2gaters, if the enemy team has the same portraits as eachother (whether it's the probe or not) they are an organised team via skype or something

im in plat so if i see people with the tassadar or queen of blades portrait i think and say to them "how the hell can u have 1k wins of that race and only be in plat?? talk about bein stuck in plat"

1st of all, the ppl stating the obvious: "this is bs, i dont judge ppl like that" no shit, your boring me. This is about stereotypes, chill out.

http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/953/sc2unitportraits.jpg

On the SEA server:
Nova - Diamond player or a leader in a well coordinated team, tough opponent, sometimes BMer.
Kachinsky - Thinks they're cool, ladies man, arrogant, im actually a little embarrassed for them.
Cade - Someone cocky, BMer, blames other team mates for their own bad skill/fault in play, very arrogant.
Ghost - A Silver player, maybe a try hard.
Spectre - same as a Ghost, except bronze.
Thatcher - Possibly a girl, maybe even a lesbian. Or just a male with bad taste in women. Skill ranges from mostly bad to alright
Zealot - a Starwars fan, top 3 bronze
Nyon - a Transformers fan
Firebat/Marauder - a young person
Mohandar/Void Ray - someone who likes ninja's
Lenassa Dark Templar - an obsessive panty sniffer who has contracted pink eye

Keep up the good work guys. Loving all these, even when I have an opposite opinion on some. It's just so funny what people can come up with just by seeing a portrait :D
In WoL, when I see a Terran player with a solo zerg portrait, I say to myself "No infestors to save you this time *cruel smirk*".

I have never ever come across another player who uses Rory Swann. That stasche brings respect.
But yeah, I do see a crapload of Specters everywhere, and used to use it too in my first few days because I thought it would make me look cool on ladder.
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

Im kinda mad everyone uses Stukov now tho.


Why? He is 1 of my fav characters in the sc universe so I had to use that portrait when I unlocked it!


Good taste Whiplash. Stukov (and the UED) are the best in SC.

Remember, the UED manage to control a baby Overmind and it took everyone (Kerrigan, Raynor, Mengsk, Protoss) to defeat the UED.


It only took Kerrigan alone to defeat Mengsk, UED and Protoss at once actually. Just on her own. She isnt nearly as badass as she was in BW.

From my experiences, the sillier the portrait, the better player they are. Some of most crushing losses have been to Night Elf Banshee/various random Campaign portraits.

Yet teamgame 500+ Icons are often players who barely have the mechanics to go beyond 2 bases.

Of course this is a huge generalisation, but a funny one to apply

Ive been rocking the Brutal HotS ace portrait. But i assume a lot of people will be using it because the campaign was so damn easy. Its a shame, the portrait is really bad ass

Mira Han = crap, he is going to random into my race and embarrass me in the mirror matchup

Battlecruiser (in Platinum and below, with matching cross Terran decal) = busy career man, but plays a dedicated 2-3 games daily in the evening to unwind after work. likely has a beer and some snacks beside him on the table. keyboard hand is not actually using the keyboard 50% of the time as he snacks mid-game. his attention is often divided. poor posture while playing (slouched in an office chair), no real gameplan beyond his failed hellion/marine drop in a random part of my base.
My gameplan is to survive the initial attack and then simply multitask him to death

Zerg player with Terran or Protoss portrait = very dangerous, fundamentally sound Zerg.. I need to bring my A-game.

WoL infested green Kerrigan = auto-win for me, for whatever reason. Haven't figured this one out, but I never lose to these players. I know Destiny used this portrait, I'm sure he would quickly and viciously bring my streak to an end. They are certainly out there, but I have yet to encounter one.

A scrub who hasn't played the campaign? How have you played over 1k games and never played the campaign.


The same way a GSL Code S commentator never played the campaign until a week ago.

I actually forgot some critical details.

Battlecruiser Portrait:
-Blissfully unaware of the existence of a professional Starcraft 2 gaming scene.
-Unaware of league structure and believes Gold League is the highest league since Gold is #1 in most sports and the fact that he has not been promoted for nearly a year.
-He does not "glhf" or "gg" in-game nor does he receive these messages due to disabled chat function.
-Considered it very creative to substitute the number 4 instead of the word "for" in his screen name.

Well, I always used the sentrie on wol and now I use the hots sentrie. Because there is not that much player who use it (really not), and it s pretty cool. On woll it was random 1v1 I guess (50 or 100) so some just not had it.

But I don t look at it in general.

The only thing I watch out for is a high level race portrait and he's playing an other race. If he has the 500 wins as protoss and playing zerg I assume that he's either race switching or cheesing and I play really safe.
