Love how Pig conveniently ignored that the turret he declared useless did massive damage like 3 minutes later. "Units don't spawn here". In plat, sometimes they do Pig lol.
@MaiAolei i get why he mocks it, it's preventable more cheaply with good play, but you're right in the sense that the behaviour is kind of selected for 😂
"Oh my god, he's building silver league turrets. They won't hut anything, stuff won't spawn from the edge of the map behind his natural" 2 minutes later, the silver league turrets kill like 2 void rays and heavily damage another. They are still very silly most of the time, but sometimes things just work.
this position of the one turret behind the mineral line is actually pretty good, prisms or oracles like to dive behind and void rays in this league too, sure
15:33 funny you mentioned this... Always look at my replays and think "no matter how much i practice I can't hit this timing if the opponent rabdomly throws a wrench in my plans", so I'm grinding a build that is easy but failing bc I'm getting thrown off my game. Normally this would be humbling but this is actually not humbling and a 4th wall break for me Curtain gets peeled and i realized how low grade this is. This is exactly the reason i went back to sweating in single player games. The game won't do something unexpected to yank the mat from my feet. There's only gradual improvement and rage because I don't understand the game. My favourite things to do in a game.
for what it's worth with the whole silver league turret thing i'm pretty sure at low level people tend to try and fly along the edges to get to the mineral line so they do tend to do ok there. their still not good but a surprising amount of people will just send their flying hit squad down the side of the map and look away.
as a plat terran, this is exactly what my games look like i was going through one of my better replays and realised my opponent flew a warp prism full of high energy templar into a bunker with 4 marines i had at my third base and it died with all templar inside during the actual game, i had no idea this even happened edit: that salt was worth the wait holy shit lmaooooooo
I'm plat 2 and none of my games have looked this good. As the terrain my brain would have melted 4 min in and I would have kept building un-upgraded marines and rallied them to their death. I was laughing about Twitch chat thinking this was possibly silver or gold.
@@sakesaurusno, playing barcodes has a purpose in the lower leagues if you cheese, play really annoyingly or always only go for a single strategy, so that in rematches/against players that they meet frequently, their opponents don’t know that they’re a one-trick-pony.
@@ZerglingLover Bah they think they are smart but when I find barcode I always expect cheese, especially those who start insulting you to distract you. 100% cannon or proxy gate. If they shut their mouths maybe they would succeed in their intent but stupidity is in their DNA
This is why I play SC2 drunk. This way if I ever did submit a reply to you I could be like "I normally am this shit, because I'm 3 sheets to the wind!"
Regarding The difference in servers: There is a difference. Asia is more difficult (probably because of lesser players). I was always playing in EU, Diamond 1. Moved to Asia, and have _never_ entered Diamond 1, but hard stuck in diamond 2. Now when i am struggling against terran (as a zerg) my mmr is as low as 3500 in Asia. Although, easily killed 3,8k people in EU when i went over there for a shorter session. There is not much of a difference, but there is one. Sidenote: Most Diamond 2 players in Asia average a lot more apm than me, and i have around 220 or so on average. They range from 300-450. The last time i was in EU, my dear protoss opponent with 3,8k had 100 apm. :)
Seeing those famous Terran tears once again is a pure delight, especially those with high APM who are basically doing garbage at fast pace. Can't believe this was a Diamond 3 game btw
19:20: You think DTs are gonna distract him? Have you forgotten the Reaper micro?? His brain is in attack mode! I doubt he's even noticed his base under attack for the last minute. This man is an unshakeable focus god!
11:36 could this be a turret against enemy trying to drop in your base along the edge behind your base? I see people always coming up from behind people's bases in these replays?
This is so freaking funny. Sc2 is so stressfull...emotions are cooking after that match :D I dont know if there is a game, where u get instulted more than after a long sc2 match xD
That is the best part of SC....the flame game whithin the game. Kinda like hockey. "What, you wanna go bro?!".....punch punch punch......Alright, back to the game :D
They did do something like that in real warfare: in Vietnam War the US rewarded their generals for high number of sorties (air strikes). So there were more bombs dropped on tiny Vietnam than in all of WWII, but the US still had to GG in the end. More on topic, I LOVE how Railroad over-commits on every counter: saw a few zealots? BLUE FLAME HELLIONS!!, a drop or two? SAM TURRETS EVERYWHERE!! It does feel campaign-y
Like honestly I was a bit surprised when PiG said high plat. Not because of the strategies, but just because the average APM on hurtone seems *really* low for high plat. Like, yes, it's not everything, but there is a point where low APM gets in the way of... actually doing things. If he's D3 on that APM, congrats, that's impressive!
I'm a gold terran. last night I played against a plat and won. I watched the replay and saw that his macro was as shit as mine, I just won becasue I scouted his proxy bc.
New series - Viewers who are absolutely certain they're *way* better than the players in the video they just watched have a replay chosen and PiG makes them look like they're two rank tiers lower than they really are. But also, Silver League static defense continues to prove effective.
I don’t understand why people stay in games and talk insults rather than just leaving. I think it’s more stupid to stay in a game you’ve clearly lost rather than just saying ggs and going next. It’s not even like League of Legends where you have 4 other people voting against your surrender vote; it’s just you and your pride. Pylon Buttplugs do sound pretty cool though🙃
Protoss are noble and stalward. They would never sink so far as to commit sodomy! (Legend says the Dark Ones may be an exception to this!) Terran on the other hand... Well let's just say all that time floating in the dead space in medavacs waiting for the toss to be distracted can get a little boring... Especially without female ghosts. Apparently the Dominion has a strict "Don't ask; don't tell" policy.
pig: this is a silver league turret he doesnt understand the game. 5 minutes later "ohmygod is this a voidray runby?" sometimes you just gotta make yourself BS proof when you know your opponent is took cheeky. biggest brain is no brain.
Well PiG, for arguments sake, that silver league spore has caught so many medivac drops for me, that I would say it's worth it. Maybe not so much vs protoss ,but as Zerg vs Terran definitely. :D
Silver League static defense works wonders against Silver League micro... and when your opponent is doing several things at once, *something* is going to have the Silver micro and it's usually the siege/drop in the back.
To be fair, zerg static defense can move, so even if its built in a stupid location it can be moved to a smarter one later if needed, terran and protoss don't have that luxury
Guys, I now live in Russia, and I am sure with a 98% probability that this is a Russian player. This is literally the most basic, primitive bullshit that the average Putinist can think of. Thanks to the local television narrative. What’s especially fascinating to me is that all this is happening within the framework of playing the product of the “enemy West.” Great show. It hurt me not to see a massive warp of Zealots against a crowd of Thors, but it was wonderful nonetheless.
There is actually an equivalent to APM spam in warfare, it's large parade of a lot of people who don't actually do anything, you see this in propaganda videos from China or North Korea all the time. Hundreds of soldiers walking in rank, looks kind of cool. Totally useless. See also, though to a lesser degree, videos of them disassembling and reassembling their rifles, though at least that suggest you know your weapon which is useful. Honestly there's actually a lot APM spam style thing that people think makes the army seem hard but is actually pretty useless among most militaries. Remember folks, most of the stuff militaries put out to make them look badass is pretty useless, and you won't really see an actually badass military doing to much, cause they're to busy training to waste time on that kind of shit.
I honestly think DT should be blocked until diamond or master leage (included lurkers, ultralisk, carriers and BC), in lower levels is too easy to win games like this one with 0 effort, just built invisible/or high HP invencible unit.
Watching those as a queer neurodivergent person is always wild. Always wondering when the player's going to to talk about how much they want me dead because they lost at a videogame against some random person. I don't know if I'm glad their experience seems to be miserable or if I'm offended that they can't even seem to have fun, like, if you're going to be that awful at least try to enjoy it so it's not pure senseless misery lol
I definitely vote for a switch back to the old replay overlay. I always loved that you used that one instead of the one in this video. And to be fair to Mr. Railroad Man, the mindset of some of the people here in the west really is sick. Some of the stuff they advocate to do to kids is horrific.
