Switching to the reported hard race?!

That’s why I’m educating people to the power of cyclone + vikings, as it literally turns it into cyclones with the harass ability of bio. Vikings are just cyclones that can fly, as far as I’m concerned.

Anyways, maybe coach Thrasher can check out my last game and confirm what my opponent told me. h ttps://drop.sc/replay/19612093 T vs T. My opponent told me “GG, WP. Solid T vs T.”

Even when I just begin something, it looks like I been doing this. Been knowing how to play. Am I a Terran prodigy or if the race just, you hate to say it, but kinda easy? Nah. It couldn’t be. In before “you played a nub bro.” Jealously is only the most predictable thing.

If you ask me, solid opener by me. And I capped his gases like a boss. I know what I’m doing man. Not sure why he didn’t just make a lib to retake his third base gas, but that’s his deal. Do you playa.

Excellent, I can keep responding to your ‘posts’ in that case. Please try not to troll and insult. I know you have an insatiable thirst for attention but this is not the way to quench it.

Also, if you won’t read posts who call you out whenever you are out of line (in this case whenever you just pressed the reply-button) you shouldn’t quote and reply to them yourself. Somebody with no braindamage should be able to figure that out easily.

Kind regards.

Dude, you have Parting saying straight up, that Protoss is favored at every point in the match up in PVT.

You have multiple Protosses coming out saying that Terran is the hardest race…

It really interesting, that Playa, who no one’s even heard of, is so much more knowledgeable than these players.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Maybe once nathanias got blizzard to buff thors, BCs, tanks and vikings.

Remember when he was on GSL giving out his praise to maxpax and calling him this and that? Clearly some misplaced love, and I must be more knowledgeable. He prob doesn’t even know about area 51. Guy plays as the aliens, yet knows nothing about them. Crazy. Thank god for micro or else one might need an elementary level of knowledge to play the game.

Is this our first report of a good guy Nathanias sighting? Was the guy who told me I’d be in bronze league if I played Terran the guy who tried to mech it happen for all of us? That’s kind of him to recognize how much pain it would cause me/us if we tried to play Terran and, in fact, ended up in bronze league. Thanks for ensuring we can win games, too.

Streamers aren’t so bad, after all. Huh? You know what they say… a billion bad deeds can be made up for with 1 deed that was confused to be good spirited and altruistic.

Shout out to Heromarine for trying to get the viking buffed and for Blizzard saying “ofc bro. We feel the same way.” So close to having 100 Terran monocomps one could use to beat everything in the game. Now, I might actually lose a unit when winning every game. Yikes. Not like that.

Right. You know better than everyone. You’re one of the best players on the planet and you can conquer any problem, yet you need to try and whine me into sponsoring you to play Terran, because otherwise you’d be broke…

Not saying money means everything, but if you’re that smart, why aren’t you rich?

129

For every dollar I earn, I give 99 cents back to others. One day, there will come a time where the entire population is anointing me as the greatest at everything, kinda like Bill Gates. Say I’ve never even went swimming one time in my life, yet… all the sudden… hordes of people are saying I’m greater than Michael Phelps. In fact, I’m so great… I’m greater than a dolphin at traversing the waters, and much much higher IQ.

Now, while you’re sitting there scratching your head, like a dummy, wondering wth is going on… I’ve positioned myself to take over the world through doing nothing but bribing people with pennies on the dollar earned.

This is what SC 2 has taught us all. I like to call this the Maplez and Livibee proof. You see, Maplez is one of the biggest scum bags on the planet. He is intentionally as annoying as possible and every other despicable thing. The best thing you can say about him is… he maphacks.

Yet, what if he… subs? Oh wow… “Hey guys… did you hear about how great Maplez is. Did you hear he’s totally the best at everything and totally the most mature and good standing character man ever? Did you hear about how Blizzard is totally all awesome people. Did you hear about how this guy who didn’t sub to me is the worst person ever?”

You’re welcome for what matters in this world. If you’re not bribing, you ain’t nothing. Too many people out here selling their souls, with their empty little heads, to need to care about personal wealth.

In the future, a twitch sub will grant you free food and w/e else. As long as you got 5 bucks to your name, you good, if you know how to spend it (bribe) it right.

I mean, this is just smurfing. I can make PF rushes win at a higher level than this. They sit workers under the floating CC and still lose LMAO.

How is that just smurfing? Vibe has played thousands of games with Terran and was 4.3k MMR with Terran a few weeks ago. Worse, he even plays every race, thus he should understand all Terran matchups, already. I haven’t even played 250 games of Terran in all of SC 2. I’m still trying to not make my buildings too close to make use of tech labs and not get my units stuck and what not.

I think beating 4k players is fine now. I mean, it’s not like I’m playing Toss. Even if I were to play Toss at this level, I don’t believe I could make anything work. There is a right way and a wrong way to play, and playing wrong usually goes bad/feels bad. The main reason I would be higher MMR is cause “I don’t play incorrectly. I don’t random b s.”

Always trying to rain on a parade, I tell you. That’s alright, though. I’ll be higher soon enough. I actually think this is my real MMR for now. I’ve used unranked in the past to simply play w/e matchup I feel like playing, at the time. So, I’ve instant left a million games, as I probably only wanted to play P vs T and playing against a 4k Terran was plenty fine with me.

I actually tanked an account to bronze MMR in unranked, simply via only playing P vs Z. Not ideal. That is the most frustrating thing about SC 2, the not having a say in matchup you’re practicing.

My last T vs T, the dude made hellbats and tanks. For the first time in SC 2, I’ve seen another player do something and have thought I want to try that. Shout out to that guy. It better be as good as it looked, though.

I’m trying to learn hotkeys and what not, still. In BW, there was only one hotkey for siege and unsiege and tanks were treated differently; ie., sieged tanks and tanks in siege mode where like two different unit types. I don’t like how tanks are treated in SC 2. It’s confusing and unnecessary. Anyways, that’s here and there, but ain’t trying to hear all that.

132

Vibe is awful. Yes, I’m well aware of his pitiful Terran MMR, I’ve flamed him on stream about it before.

I’m not trying to rain on your parade, you’ll hit your real MMR when things don’t seem viable to you. When you have to optimize your play enough that you think some units are awful.

Atm, I feel like T vs Z is my best matchup. I seem to win every game around 4k. I feel like if I jack this guy’s hellbat strat, I could be ready to own T vs T. I really hate making bio. It feels stupid. Like, spending this money on upgrades and infrastructure when mass tanks are going to nullify/invalidate them soon enough. It’s like planning a trip in a year when you know you’re dying tomorrow. Feels weird/wrong. All about finding a better way. Hellbats please save me.

T vs P has gotten harder. Everyone all-ins me. I’ve gotten the chance to even play vs my build… Good one indeed… I might need to proxy the rax by my base, if I decide to proxy. Interesting development. Might even have to open tank first or at least have a bunker at the natural. Well, well. Not too much to solve, as is, to move up to “respectable MMR.” 7 more days till I can play ranked.

I gotta say the 4 gate blink build is pretty good when you don’t have a bunker or a tank. I’ll get my revenge soon enough.

See, Maru’s safety tanks are useful. ^^

Honestly, Playa, if ladder stats don’t mean anything, if the words of parting, Showtime, Crank, etc. etc. all mean nothing. If win rates mean nothing and Premier tournament wins mean nothing: How exactly does you getting to an MMR I got with Protoss in 15 games mean anything?

BTW, I read this post and I have no idea what you’re on about. You can become quite comfortable without engaging in corruption, without over-leveraging, without engaging in ridiculous risk (like options or futures trading).

Psh. Truth be told, I was 4.5k’ish with Terran and Zerg in my first 50’ish games or w/e played with those races. I feel like MMR had to have naturally been inflated then. I mean, I knew absolutely nothing about Zerg other than mutas be good vs Toss, so I find it hard to believe I’m not playing Terran at a higher level than that. I could see myself playing T vs T worse now, but I dunno about playing the other matchups at a 500 MMR worse level.

I’ve noticed when you really tank an unranked account, for w/e reason, your MMR seems stuck there. It’s like you win 5 MMR per win. I once started playing every game with Toss at a plat MMR in uranked, and the MMR of my opponents didn’t increase even after 20 wins in a row. So… it’s a slow process for w/e reason, even when winning them all.

T vs Z seems fun and Terran favored. It seems harder to lose vs all-ins, thus get to experience Terran glory more often. Playing a style that doesn’t have to fear banelings to the nth degree helps…

That said, with how I open, I’m not sure how I’m supposed to stop quickest roach all-in. Like 12 pool into quickest roach all-in. I feel I’m supposed to have marauders in a bunker, but if I proxied my rax by his base, sounds like a yikes son. Sounds like I got countered by the comp on easy mode, but turns out I was the easy one. Easy and sleazy. :face_vomiting:

Since I jacked that bros hellbat style, bring on Maru. Why didn’t you tell me bout that hellbat life man? Is that a thing? Should be a thing if not. Things feel so much better when making hellbats instead of marines. No more wasted money. No more living in squalor cause wasted all my money on marines and pointless upgrades.

Check out my last T vs Z I just played. I’m getting clean son. So fresh and so clean.

h ttps://drop.sc/replay/19615669 Tell me that ain’t meta worthy? If you ain’t saying it’s meta to be, then you saying you a beta, and I’m not trying to hear it.

I imagine it’s becoming a little more normalized. I’ve realized it’s just too risky to not make banshees. So we open mines, obv, but then we go 2 banshees, into raven, and then into our viking life. If they don’t switch to mutas, you can harass with the vikings. If they go mutas, well now you have vikings to help out. Win/win chicken, shrimp alfredo dinner.

Also the raven gets some harass in. Keep lil Zerg on his toes. Defend his feeble little attack, then max push and crush souls. Very similar to how I play P vs Z. The banshees are really similar to the void rays, for sure. Only can’t mass the banshees in this matchup, I suppose.

Patented not getting upgrade style. I really feel like there’s no point in getting upgrades until you max when you’re using amazing splash damage units. Like every game a widow mine is going to kill far more than it cost to make it. Thus… you’re not really fighting even fights to begin with. The quicker you can amass more units, the stronger your push and easier defense is, thus… ain’t got time for waiting on upgrades. Only trying to make me weaker in the moment.

T vs P. It’s just so beautiful when… they don’t all-in. Go ahead and make colossi vs the cyclones. Mass vikings don’t care. And if they don’t care, I don’t care.

I told you TvZ is 6 hellions 2 banshees into bio/mech w/e you want and then you started building early game widow mines. You are free to stay in diamond league doing florencio strats. Maybe you’ll be featured in a Pig video too… https://youtu.be/jA7D9_nnlbI?t=257

I hate hellions. I only make hellions when they’re doing an all-in and force me to. Everyone opens hellions man. If you can’t defend vs hellions by now… could prob beat you with a scv rush man. If they that bad, may as well style on them, anyways. Shoot.

Some people can’t appreciate awesomeness even when it’s linked before them, right in front of their face. Unbelievable, but happens on the daily.

What’s more broken? Widow mines or hellions? Bruh… I’m not trying to make Terrans worst unit, let alone 6 of them. Never, ever. Only time I might want to consider hellions in a normal game is late game, on some harass stuff, if game enters a stalemate type of state. Otherwise… this Terran guru going to do him.

Getting a little to big for my britches. As soon as I get Masters league, I’m thinking about doing a pro to super pro series. Might even do replay analysis of Serral and pinpoint his mistakes for him. I’m going to outer space. Wish an earthling would tell me otherwise.
