Had a bit of a weird game a few minutes ago. Opponent asked if I was new, said they’d show me how to win, and then flooded by base with Probes. I had no response, my workers died, and that was pretty much it.
I actually “won” that one because they surrendered (which I mean hey free win of the day xp means I’m not complaining) but I’m curious how I’d successfully repel that kind of attack next time?
(btw I tend to play Zerg if that affects the answers at all)
Thanks in advance!
if its a rush then just a move your own workers to counter them you should have more at later stages like 200 supply workers stacked up you should have a standing army or a wall
ahhhhh so it’s just kind of a luck thing if they attack you early game?
Well, first:
He’s probably a smurf (notice how he gave you the win), I guess portrait farming
Second: to win the worker rushing you should learn the worker stacking technique while microing wounded workers away
You just build everything asap:
That means if you play perfectly (not too hard if you hold down the keys with grid hotkey layout), a worker rush on your level is really easy to defend (you will spot this with your overlord and you’ll have more stuff than the other guy so just take all your drones and attack-move. If the other guy microes way better than you, don’t take it personally because microing (except a-move and maybe burrow a lurker or pull back) until you hit at least platinum league doesn’t really make sense.
