Hats off to the second guy, Guerter. Had a laugh at himself when he lost the early reapers to a mistake instead of raging at it. And then complimented your strat with the "NICE WP" after. That's nice to see well mannered peeps still.

I appreciate that so much. Your discourse, while you're playing, I marvel at, and it helps me adapt to my work with mom. I just thought you should know, I'd watch your vids regardless, but you bring a bright spot in my day. Your game play and insight are appreciated more than you know.

Today on the ladder I went to Planetary cheese just like in this video on a Zerg. After I built the ENG bay in his base I sent another SCV to my natural and saw....a proxy hatch in my natural - with two drones! It was awesome!! So I turned my main CC into the planetary and built marine tank FTW! Confirmed after the match the other player was another channel viewer. Cool to have them encounter in the wild!

I think all of the people who are convinced the first opponent was map hacking are essentially admitting that they play the game with their brain turned off. Look at it this way: You killed an ebay block and denied a CC being built. That means you're already up...what? 225 minerals destroyed? At that point you can 100% afford to shift click a Zergling around the map. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Your opponent attacks you? With what resources? And even if the enemy somehow magically brings an army into the game, do you REALLY think that one Zergling is going be the make or break? C'mon, if you're not scouting in a situation like this the only excuse is laziness.

For Terran: start with a BF but transition into skyterran on the back. Against protoss: make the range upgrade and see how to contain with turrets to no more than 2 nex
