Just played a mirror match.
The opponent decided to cheese me. I scouted, but I missed the proxy, so I wasn’t too sure what he was doing.
He did serious dmg, and I was behind, but didn’t die.
The next 5-6 fights I somehow manage to win (he was super aggressive, but I manage to do a counter and some eco dmg later on), and eventually win the game.
He says that, I am very bad at the game, and he only lost because of bad luck.
Just another day on the ladder I guess.
Dear diary…
20chars
20 chars, lol, is that all you got, 20 chars
You responded literally after 2 min, you were afraid somebody would use that joke before you? or was it so good you couldn’t wait a second more?
Hollywood has been making very few, mostly bad comedies lately, and finally, with you on their team, that is all about to change for the better!
Lmao. He clearly got under your skin good.
No, seriously, that was too good, I just wanted to say something back.
But literally, there is no comeback from: “Dear, dairy”
Well played, sir, well played!
yep thats the ladder alright. if you think thats bad jump on team games, have two of your tm leave and win a 3v1 and watch the salt after. Oh boy is it good.
Yes, they usually start fighting and killing each other when they realize they still need some effort to win.
And they probably still had a good shot, but would rather spend the hate on killing their teammates, than put some effort into actually winning.
suprisingly enough it dont get to that point. I usually slaughter them if they dont imediately rush in the first 2 min, cause as a zerg by the 4m mark with 2 player boosted eco im pretty unstoppable. only lost a handful over the years.
I got to that point a couple of times at least, and watching the graphs (it wasn’t 100% clear who won), afterwards, like what the hell, you would rather lose the game you wasted half an hour on, than really trying to give it a shot.
I will never understand people killing their teammates! It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
sometimes it just needs done tho. had so many games i get stuck with noobs who just sit and dont do anything with 20 apm in a 30 min game, if i know im gonna lose, and they been sitting doing nothing, then i usually tk. Its more for the fun of it and to hopefully give the player a bad enough experience they dont jump on teams again till they learn to play better, in which i always tell them go play ai till they can break atleast 60 apm cause they have no business being on team games with being that slow and new.
Yeah, so many people play this game so badly in 2v2, it can get very tilting sometimes:
I’ve seen people who don’t know how to upgrade CC’s to either orbital to PF, or people upgrading their first CC to PF, Not natural, literally their Main base to PF, which is so insane.
1 base muta in 20 min game, like wtf.
And how come the other 2 guys max out at 9 min, and pull their workers immediately when you’re attacking the mineral line, and have great map awareness etc.
At least have my guy be half as good as one of those 2.
right, 2s gets crazy. and i seem to have the worst luck with teammates in it. you should hook up with me for some games, i usually jump between 2s and 3s every season, and do 4s when my streaming buddies play.
I used to have people to play as teammates, but lately, with basically no time for SC2 or videogames, I just go blind these days.
Sometimes you get lucky, and it is somewhat balanced; most times no.
That is pretty much standard ladder experience in mirror matchups unfortunately.
Even when you recover and win through multiple fights and adaptation, some opponents will still attribute the loss to luck or external factors instead of the mid and late game decisions.
I think mirrors especially tend to amplify frustration because both players feel they “should” be even the whole game, even when the game clearly swings through scouting, reactions, and adaptation.
