    • @TheAgavi
      @TheAgavi 2 роки тому +2

      @@obamagaming9456 I'm actually plat too but these guys would probably stomp me. I'm zerg with 65% WR against terran, 75% against zerg, and 35% against toss. If I was even 50% vs toss I might nearly be diamond but since toss is 90% of the ladder and I suck so bad against them I'm stuck where I am.
      I got beaten by a toss with 48 APM yesterday. I literally tripled his APM and lost. The only way I beat them is if they fuck up really hard and I swarm while they have no units. If they play the slightest bit safe then it's a guaranteed win against me for them.

      @sirprize8572 2 роки тому +1

      @@TheAgavi Honestly I think you can just queen walk 90% of low elo tosses and double your winrate. Just do an early timing attack with roach/ravager/queen after +1/+1 finishes and you'll beat a fair majority of them. The only opener that would force you to go defensive instead is DT rush, but then all you do is defend with spore crawlers long enough to get a few overseers and probably wait for +2/+2 for your next timing attack.

    28:27 I knew that what you were gonna say. I may be a complete boomer, but since kids today only know how to tell what time it is from their cellphones, they have zero clue what the actual clock face looks like. It's like that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, only there it was Sean Connery playing his dad asking "What happens at 11 o'clock?". Not only do I have still got a regular wristwatch, it actually doesn't even have any numbers on it, so I would totall confuse some kids with it.

    I actually thought Loren Ipsum might have had the win in that second game, considering his army was so much bigger after that first strike and the Prism wasn't scouted for a while. But sadly, no macro behind, and STV's wall of cannons seems to have made the red protoss indecisive. Then, y'know, there's trying to KILL DA NEXUS all the time...

    Going for the Nexus is a good idea. But you have to kill it. In one engagement, if he went for the eastmost canon first with dark Templars, he would eliminate the only detection from that side, and then he could just kill the Nexus without further losses.
