Today is the day of finally playing ranked (finally unlocked) with Terran on my new account “SleepyBear”. Profile to eventually show up: h ttps://starcraft2.com/en-us/en/profile/1/1/12213433 so people of the world can gauge the degree of Terran difficulty in real time.
So far, I’m 8-0, 4k MMR. 3-0 vs Terran and Zerg, 2-0 vs Toss. Past couple days, I think I’ve only lost 2 games and they were both carbon copy 2 minutes losses to Terran; I went 2 reapers, 2 hellions; opponent went 3 reapers and 3-4 hellions or something. Something along those lines.
Guy attacks up my natural ramp, has more stuff and wins. Grats. I’m going to go back to opening with at least 1 mine. Same thing happens every game, may as well just kill the units for free with some mines, I guess, and proceed on in life in peace and harmony… with cyclones… which enables the peace and harmony.
Truth be told, I’m already really bored with Terran. Nothing is challenging atm. I’m just disappointed by the lack of depth and the complete lack of needing to know anything about anything outside of common sense stuff.
My hope is that it takes me some time to get GM, so… I can feel better about the state of the game, honestly, and… to not have Terrans truly exposed for being insane/immature. I’d like to think humanity is a little better than it has come off as. I don’t know if it would help anyone sleep better or not, but at least would help be awake better…
It’s just a game, so they said. Here’s just a game, which was my last one: h ttps://drop.sc/replay/19682611 T vs Z vs a former WoL GM with 38k career games. Let’s please put respect on the opponent’s abilities, whether a fall from grace or not.
Longer game, where I show off my true mech prowess… and get the WP from a very astute opponent. Former GM, after all. I guess it’s not a game of attrition when you end up with 7k/6k, but… those are the games I’m very familiar and comfortable with as Terran. My forte, so to speak.
This SC 2 thing provides an interesting dynamic, though. I didn’t sacrifice any SCVs, but clearly that’s something I need to do in the future. The ability to free up 91 supply for more army… and not have it be stupid… Terran is just so much more suited for beating Zerg at the pro level than Toss that… it’s probably crazy to even contemplate playing Toss if you could play Terran at the pro level.
Neways, words were said. Oh, it’s only been a little over a week of playing Terran, but… I honestly thought I might have to take a break due to a hand injury already. This is why we don’t assume things, though; we’ve all heard of feats of strength… such as me totally doing a set of 110 pushups yesterday, and could easily done 20 more.
Well, meet the opposite. Examples of failure and being weak. I totally hurt my hand trying to open a jar of tomato sauce yesterday. One day, I hope to be known as “this guy opens jars.” That would be the greatest feat and the biggest flex. In other words, opening jars appears to be 1000000x harder than playing Terran. Yikes. I don’t know if that says more for the ease of Terran or the impossibility of opening jars, to be fair.
