Tired of double protoss rushes.

[tam]

no downside?

o grasshopper....

the downside is fairly obvious. yes, u are in defense mode trying to stop the rush. but, if you stop it (which means u most likely have roaches), the p players are screwed if u counter them, because he will only have zealots still and will not be able to get many if any stalkers or sentries by the time ur roaches roll into their bases

its a double edged sword rush, ur betting everything on ur initial attacks. if they fail, u're gonna be behind all game and will have to play catchup

and as someone said earlier, ALL your units are faster than zealots on creep, u micro, they are screwed

8 out of the last 10 matches I have played have been against double Protoss .

Yeah, i don't know why people do that all the time. What's the fun into winning a game by a basic-unit rush?

[SYL]

Try a baneling rush a few of them can soften up zealots quite a bit so lings can take them out even better. I use this strat quite a bit and it has worked very well for me.

It's fun for people who hate the macro game.

But you get better micro from more complex, late game armies, too. In general a tight game that sees the whole tech tree is just more fun no matter who wins. People who do basic unit rush for more than just a harass (though sometimes a harass accidentally wins the game right away) just care about winning.

Meh! There's people that like to win games with Photon Canon rushes. I only do false Canon rushes, that's fun

[Dalarsco]

Ya, but cannon rushes are at least an interesting strat. It takes a little more to pull it off than a basic unit rush. It requires a bit of tech to get, and it's a gamble because each cannon is so expensive.

Oh my, I've lost so many times to a pylon hidden in my base...
