Thread: What strat infuriates you when you fall prey to it?

    It's gotta be that darn void ray rush. It seriously looks unstoppable when someone gets 10 of those suckers in ur base. It's preventable, but snipping out your nexus in seconds hardly seems fair, unless you have 10 stalkers on standby ready to push that back. They just don't look balanced, coming from a Protoss.

    I definitely didn't intend for this to be for whining, it's just there's some things that when they start happening you instantly facepalm because it's stupid that you got taken by it. Some things just don't bother you as much.
    I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

    I always disliked the term "cheese" cause it seems like a negative thing.

    I prefer to think of them as "all in" builds because if they fail, you will most likely lose.

    Another vote for any proxy. Also, Thor/BC. It was novel the first time I saw it, but now I have no idea how he actually made something that expensive work. I've seen it a couple of times, usually when I've gone heavy on Vikings in an air build because I saw his Fusion Core, not realizing that the BCs would have Thors protecting them from light air..

    I used to hate Air rushes… though I have gotten pretty good at hiding ovies and sacking them at right times

    I would say… hmm mass tank is really annoying… especially when they have either marines or thors to counter your mutas… but then again… i guess i could follow some of Husky's vids and do an ultra rush :P

    It used to be Void Rays, but not I just make sure I tech to Hydras fast enough and its not an issue.

    For me, its Siege Tanks and Marines. As the Zerg, you have no way to counter the Siege Tank, as they have nothing to replace the Spawn Broodling of SC1. Think about using Mutalisks? Marines tear them to shreds, especially with Stim its not even fair. I so far have seen more and more Terran players I higher ranked I get, which doesn't surprise me.

    Try a muta bling combo, orrrr as i have seen many Korean players do in SC2, build 8 or so mutas and harrass, keeping him in his base. Then fast tech to ultralisks. Their armor will make marines useless and they destroy tanks and marines. Use roaches to hold off pushes until you get ultras and mass expand

    Void rays make me wanna crush my keyboard. Not just the rush - the unit is so goddamn OP there is no air unit that can counter it. Make them move slower for raynor`s sake !

    However, there's not much that can be done about double 2 gate proxy in 2v2. You can't really 'balance' it without seriously messing up the rest of the game in other matchups like 1v1. Oh well.
    Yes, yes, I know

    I'll just hold out hope that one day the proxiers will get bored and stop.



    Rest In Peace, Old Friend.
