A Terran bronze leaguer may want to mass BCs late game. Perhaps they aren't interested in absolutely anything else. They don't want to learn macro/micro, they just want to see 200/200 BC army, even if it is off 1 base with 5 starports. | ||

I beg of you, please make more. Love reading this on weekends, it lights up my evenings. Just a word though, a lot of people who play SC2 might not be able to read English. English isn't the main language in many countries, and I know of many people who get to ages 16-17 without being able to speak English well (or being able to read it fast enough to follow a chat before it disappears in-game). It's okay if you mock the people who reply like retards, but take into account that some of your opponents might just be 11-12 year old kids that don't speak English and this is their first video game, and even skills like knowing where every key on the keyboard without having to look and search for it are difficult for them. Obviously those kids are also unaware of the fact this game is 'competitive', and they just play to build their favorite-looking units. (might explain the hydras?) --- Either way, for all the people who are capable of reading gheed's advice and yet still fail to follow it: please, by all means, take a long break from this game. Like, at least two months. And if you decide to return to playing, try to stop and think about what you do before doing it. Bronze levels really aren't far from low masters anyway! + Show Spoiler + | ||

You couldn't look at a bronzie's ZvT and tell him to "scout more," because even if he scouted, he wouldn't know what he was looking at or what to do about it if he did. There are so many things wrong at the low level that it's impossible to identify a single thing to improve. It's like looking at a head-on collision between two trains and labeling each bolt failure. It's not the bolts that are important, it's the fact that it's a fucking train wreck. This is why rather than give specific help, people advise simply to "macro better," because at the low levels knowing how to do basic things is more important than knowing more obtuse things like strategy. Amazing quote. | ||

And surprise surprise a lot of them get mad when they are faced with this attitude and lash out. I will then show how much better I am than them in both SC2 playing ability and in real life by taking screenshots and writing a verbose post about how mad I made them and how terrible they are. This implies that I'm intelligent because I am tricking all these people who are terrible and stupid and I'm also witty in how mad I got them. Did I mention how stupid and terrible they are? am i on the right track here? No, you're not on the right track. Are you mad, bro? read the god damned op. There's a difference between skill and knowledge. In order to deal with a worker rush, you need to know about attack move. That's it, no skill required - just KNOWLEDGE. An autistic six year old can deal with it if he KNOWS that he is supposed to attack move. The funny thing is that people fail despite him telling them how to do it. It's not that they lack skill, it's that they fail at a task that takes no skill, only knowledge, when he provides them with the knowledge. | ||

You assume that all bronze level players consider playing sc2 to be a completely competitive event. This is clearly not the case, otherwise all these people would be taking the advice to heart and doing their best to improve. Just because you view this game like a hardcore gamer doesn't mean everyone else does. And so the question is asked again... why is it ok to insult someone who is bad/new/not taking the game as seriously as you funny? | ||
