How things should happen | builds/marketing

You must suck hard in PvT then.

I totally do. I’m 25-12 vs Terran and 27-10 vs Zerg. I was rusty and kept losing to some noob. Should def be a lil higher vs Zerg… but I should be worse than that vs Terran.

I hate Terran. I’m always having to try something different cause everything sucks, which never helps – until you find the holy grail…

I’m still wondering why you put the gateway right in the terrans face. The reason it works is because the terran sends his reaper half way across the map as you use your zealot to cancel the CC/wall off which snowballs once a stalker arrives. You also can’t do it every game without them eventually just expanding on the high ground.

Well, when I started doing this in HotS… it was the smartest build. Given what Beastyqt has said and everyone accepted and me knowing this twist was the actual “genius” part of it, we should all be able to agree that’s what it is/was.

Back then, no one had ever done a proxy gate build without having it be an all-in. So, this is what people miss. If someone scouted my gateway, they assumed it was an all-in. What else could it have been? Maxpax hadn’t even played SC 2 before… Answer: they would over defend and they would lose because your nexus was too fast in comparison to their cc/natural mining.

So, when you don’t try to hide your gateway, your probe will always see their SCV (basically) if they’re trying to proxy you. What’s the weakness of how Max does the build? His probe is never going to see that he’s getting proxied, so he can’t stop it.

With how I do it, I can just send out another probe when I see an early SCV and prevent the proxy from happening. Also, I started doing this because I kept losing to proxy fac widow mine. If a Terran wanted to proxy factory me, guess what his scv would have to do? It would have to pass by my gateway, and given I’m not a noob and I pay attention to the mini map, I can now know there is a threat/possibility.

So, once you see the SCV pass by your gateway, there’s two things you can do. You can go ahead and send out a probe to try to make sure it’s not happening or you can wait “x time,” and if the scv isn’t at your base by then, then you know what’s happening and can proceed from there. Makes a real big difference.

But, in LotV… I just use it as like an airship carrier… it just helps your units get to their base faster. It allows you to set up a contain with a shield battery and go from there. If you were to have an early observer, where would you want it? Either in their main or where the gateway is, anyways. So… at worse it serves as an observer. And if they are doing an attack, it buys you time. 1 gateway ain’t going to do jack for you, anyways.

Bud I can’t get into that argument that’s between you two. I just like seeing streamers post here that I’ve seen on Twitch. Who else does it now?

I guess Lowko might have when Batz made that alt account but I don’t think he does anymore. Protech maybe but he does 2v2 so.

Dunno what your guys’ fascination is with streamers. They’re people. They’re worse than people. They’re scammers. You want more of them. I want less of them. World would be better off. He’s not even a big streamer.

Streaming doesn’t grow your man part in real life, only in SC 2 land. You should be more excited to see your mail man.

As for thrasher, about that build. I forgot. Another reason why Max’s version sucks… is cause the actual simple counter to that style is, anyone know? Simply supply or eng bay blocking their natural.

It’s imperative that you keep track of scvs on the map. You need to know what’s going on or could be going on at any time. It was absolutely imperative that you didn’t let them eng bay block you. You had to kill it asap, if so.

While a noname rants and raves…

The deluded bigmouth will claim that Stasis was invented by Playa while we were sleeping.

If you want to improve try the KingCobra style. When he will be in this forum maybe he will help you.

You guys had years of scamming and non stop b s. Heck, you even got me to compliment him. Dumbest thing I’ve ever done in SC 2. Yet… still a small time streamer. No one cares. No one will ever care. Imagine how little people are going to care when they’ve seen the truth? It’s over, but it doesn’t matter. It was never a thing to begin with.

Gotta find a new scammer to shill. A lot of options. Choose well. Well, they’re all as bad of an option as the other.

…because he is 10 times better than you? That was the most intelligent thing you have ever done.
He killed this terran with…Tempests.

Must be a blast watching a guy instant leave every time he gets a Toss, so he never plays anyone his actual MMR. Wow… winning every game that he actually plays. The legend only grows. Can he lose…

Really impressive. 10 times better? Try 1500. Winning with tempest, even cooler than when I did it a year + before him. Super cool. Go away Cobra. Even Batz has to be thinking you’re a coward.

When one is not much interested in one MU thet is the only thing to do. You should be more modest when yapping about a World-Rank 130 player when you in your best days have been…World-Rank 1000.
But you envy is easy to see when you also yapped against Disk which is Ranked even higher than Cobra.
No surprise no one likes a spoiled-brat like you that spreads only negativity and badmouths every Player that has a name and is better than you.
And for your information, the Great KingCobra is not Laddering (in ladder he is 6000MMR+ in EU) but having some fun with his loyal followers.

Thanks for more facts. We’re all better off now and far more informed. Given you’ve preached more about Cobra on these forums than a preacher has preached about Jesus… how about taking your passion to corners that don’t already have the great Cobra in their life? Do some missionary work man. We all get it. Don’t we guys…

Fantastic. Glad nothing more to be informed about here. Fully educated and ready to graduate Cobra school. Awesome. GJ us. We all got on our knees for the mythical person, so we all got an A. Awesome.

I am much honored to be confused with KingCobra.
I am BabaYaga or the good-old Goba.
One has to be really obsessed with Cobra in order to confuse his fans (me) that appreciate his Genius for the real deal (Cobra himself).

Who wouldn’t be? I even paid the guy to allow me to do his strats before him, just so one day people could confuse the two of us, yet I could be assured that I was 100 times worse… One day, maybe I can only be 5 times as worse.

I hope the great Cobra is paying you 5 bucks per time you mention his name or greatness. I’d love to think I’m talking to the world’s richest person. Elon Musk, is that you? If not… gotta get Cobra to pay you better.

Sorry, i meant 1000 not 10 000. It was a typo. The data are in Aligulac for everyone to verify. Now, you are not even ranked (that rank is the higher you ever achieved) because you are making a fool of yourself 24/7 in this Forum…

A guy who rarely even plays SC 2… let alone competes in tournaments isn’t even ranked. Wow… riveting stuff. Learn something unexpected every day. So, really, anyone who plays in a tournament is better. Yagababa, go play in a tournament. Get them bragging rights that are just as justified as your Cobra bragging rights.

One day, we will all find a love that loves us like goo goo gaga loves his Cobra. We’re all fully saturated in the genius of Cobra and w/e you’re saying. Go buy him some flowers. Don’t forget the chocolate. Make it an every day thing. Cobra deserves that. Don’t disrespect him.

Than you are advised to yapp less and play more. Maybe in this way people will appreciate your skills other than ranting in this forum…
Now, explain us poor mortals, how Cobra, MaxPax, Roterdam et al. stole your “builds” when you are nowhere to be seen?
I know that logical coherence and consistency are not your strong suit, but still…

Already provided proof on reddit. Yet, they’re no where to be seen. Sad. Really. The lowground gateway expand build hasn’t been named yet. Since Cobra is doing that now, too. Shouldn’t that be the Cobra build? The legend and genius only grows. One day all sub 50 IQ people will be loyal followers of the great Cobra. They have a good start, as is.

It’s pretty sad when your great inventors retort to anything is “yeah bro… well… what’s your MMR on a server you don’t play.” Got em.

There needs to be advertisement on the dangers of becoming a fan boy. Doing crack has to be healthier for the mind. We all get it. Cobra is awesome. He’s so lucky to have you defending him, since he’s not smart enough to do it himself. After he cleans his drool up, maybe he can come back and spam EU MMR again. Can’t wait for that genius.

Me? I’ma go find the maker of a new car and gloat about how I’ve driven it faster. That’s my car dawg. I drove it faster. Swear to god bro. Should have seen me. Got it up to 80. You only like got it to 75. Who cares if you invented the car and what not dawg. EU MMR. I’m totally not drooling, it’s not mine. I got an invisible dog on me dawg. East side. What? What?

That’s what I hear. It’s awesome. Totally.

As a typical dense and unsophisticated american that you are you don’t even notice when people troll you.
Let me explain and unpack for you…
It’s common sense that a High-GM does not waste his time watching games of people in lower levels.
So, his diplomatic (and sarcastic) response was “You are not in a level for me to watch and much less to copy”.
One can’t copy something that does not see…
Poor Playa, he can’t even understand when someone uses irony and sarcasm on him.
