Salty Toss clings to HAMSTER WHEEL of RAGE | Salt Mines #51 - StarCraft 2 

Ahah mate happy to see you ended up using my replay. I did indeed run into MacroToss around 2 months earlier and remembered him smacktalking me all game in that one too :D Was great seeing you in Katowice again Piggy, much love

Last game was a journey from "Ah, this guy is 100 pro trolling" to "Man, thats just very sad". Probs for Pie sending in a loss!

The real mmr was the salt we mined along the way

Damn ive missed this series! Been rewatching the old ones over and over again 😂

"Your fat" :D I enjoyed that

Watching this make my ladder anxiety go away. So therapeutical, thanks ;)

"im reading these in Artosis voice" which is much funnier to me now because I have finally caught one of his streams. Artosis casting at GSL is just funny and pleasureable. Artosis playing the game? Chaotic salt. Pure salt. lmao

That second guy is a gem, try your best to enjoy the game and learn to lose That’s been the best game changer for me :)

Having Artosis sound clips at the ready makes the everything better… 😂

bigducksonly didn't make a single unit in the whole game. 0 Army supply. I have never seen this berfore. Truly a talented gamer.

Ah nice to see the Salt Mines again! One time a guy kept saying I'm a casual because of low APM and only a few games here and there (after losing to my cheese). And I agree, I am a casual player and it's funny he thought it was an insult and that he was so tilted he had to check my profile to see the my match history

This channel is why I've started using silly banter. The tryhards in this game make it so much more fun, even if I lose some MMR. My own rage is thus diminished. One does well to remember that StarCraft is a social game, and when a social game is tough to play, trolling becomes an extra bit of sauce to put on your pizza of an experience.

12:07 that was so savage it feels like he's personally telling this to someone he played against. What a man.

No... the 10 probes on the gas absolutely killed me

This dude is living in the SCI meta of 20 mins no rush to get to carriers.

Popcorn ready. "Here we go!" Edit: Half way through... Visions of giant hamster wheels derailed and hurtling down mountainsides through villages of oppressed, hapless farmhands, leaving wakes of destruction. A maniac within, laughing uncontrollably. Gleeful of their 'victory' until a stick fence topples their dominion - dethrones their aspirations. Ignoring reality is now the aim of the game - much, much better than admitting defeat or taking stock of their life... Edit: LOL "Living their best life" I'm in bits :D

"Btw MacroToss with the impressive top tier gameplay has the whole army on nr. 2. This is what we call F2 with extra steps: It´s where you only use the select all army key to select your army, but then you basically go select your army, you put it on ctrl 2 and then you use nr. 2 as your select all army key - it´s hilarious." Damn. That´s what I do, except I´m masters 3 and put it on 1 xDD Sadge FeelsBadMan

The rager in that first match went 3 base and didn't build a single fighting unit. Unless you count those two frontline reaction cannons that immediately went down. And then raged about rushing. At 5 minutes. Amazing.

The whole "n00b" argument is definitely one of the worst ones to use in a rage situation. I was just waiting for pie to say, "It's called skillbased matchmaking for a reason..." I would absolutely LOSE IT.

That first one was so cute! Thanks for sharing silver rage.

MacroToss is in general chat every night complaining so much, thats probably how Pie recognised him

Excellent! I've been missing salt mines and flo files

Artosis in a nutshell: if his opponent doesn't play exactly like he wants, its a cheese and they're trash.

Oh my, please never end this series lol.

WowMacroduck(macrotoss) is (Gg)Raging Great Cast Pig!!

Thank God. It's about the time. Perfect gift for Valentines Day, but please don't forget about us...

I thought the video's title was referring to Harstem's editor lol. Great to have the salt mines back. Pro games are fun but these games are special.

Somebody call Latto, because that first replay had some Big Duck Energy.

Artosis is too whiny to be anything but Terran. The "My skill is way better than you" is classic Terran 'We should just be handed trophies for showing up' mentality.

Omg my favorite series is back!!

Hey guys, it's not just about the size of the duck! Energy levels matter too, you know, some of those biggest ducks only ever want to sleep and waking them up can be tough. Where's the fun in that?

secret salt strategy. Complain about a build to encourage them to play that build? I dunno, I wouldn't do it because I suck too much for ladder every since they removed wood league. Been practicing though on this tough mode called campaign (I think it's french) mode. I play it on easy but I'm almost to the third mission and cranking out 30APM (not average, just when I get clicky) which is weird, because I type like 100 wpm. You'd think I'd be better at this game. It needs shortcut keys, all my options are for hot keys and I'm not heating up this vintage 2010 generic Dell membrane magic. Left clicking everything is so slow. Also, control c and control v don't make extra units. I've tried with both races. Also, every time I tell the computer ten min no rush, they don't listen. I can't wait till we get some chat gpt integration so the game understands high-level thinkers like me.

No, they won't tell someone they have a small duck, they'll just leave/ghost/cheat. Duck size matters, and it gets discussed with friends a lot, even if it doesn't get told to the duck-holder outside of insults.

No joke, i had a friend whos favourite insult was “your ugly” in high school, about 20 years ago lmao

We need a scrub Lord’s Prayer (coined by core A gaming’s salt video) for sc2

I used to rage like this too. Now I don't want to speak for MacroToss but I think there is an underlying issue. For me it was that I had no friends and life was not going my way. I was sad and I was letting off the steam at other people on the ladder. But not in a healthy way. I was raging almost every game even when I was winning. It is important to solve the main issue first. I did it and whoever is reading this and can relate then please solve the issue first. Playing healthily is so important. You are ruining your mental health and the experience of other players.

I noticed some... small duck energy in the first game... if you know what i mean

Angy puwutus is angy!

Lmao in the second game the protosd player was supply blocked at 23/23 during the rage and then immediately went up to 28/54 after like 5 seconds

having confidence, and many tiny duck jokes, by far is the easiest way to talk to anyone. .

I would call it doom listing. Because the list spirals down into their doom.

I often see MacroToss in EU general chat complaining about game balance, specifically roaches

i learned alot about hamster wheels. actually I didn't learn anything but this is a great video anyway

I'm just upset PiG has not apologized for having one of his minions bite Harstem

OH no! I do the fake F2 thing too.

I have a big duck. Got it thanks to a potion I bought off a quack.

If Pie is a noob and they’re playing in the same league, then I guess Macrotoss is as well.

You know a lot about ducks mate

the real winner wins even after the end screen

absolutely this playing the game wrong thing just is a fail of mindgame/letting your opponent get to you. It's a relatively cheap investment on the guy that is playing suboptimal but tilting makes others expend a lot to cope with losing to it. I feel like this hamster wheel of rage is the only thing that was driving LoL updates.

Guy is angry even when he wins, feel bad for whoever he's in a relationship with

I can tell you from experience, they only complain if it's too big.

Artosis can't get out of 3.2k, there's no way he will go back to ladder

I was today years old when I found out that Starcraft 2 has drag scrolling .....

YEEEEEEEE WE'RE BACK BABYYYYY

The guy in the first game is such a tryhard beta duck!

I may not have the biggest duck, but it makes my wife go quackers😊

My sister got mad at me for using the uhh... "R" word the other day. I'm like seriously, that's like telling a black guy not to use the "N" word

GG

I do think it's valid to get annoyed by people playing super odd and theoretically bad builds because it's like nearly impossible to practice against it or really know what the right response is. There's not going to be any guides on it and ur super unlikely to see the build again on the ladder because it's uncommon/not meta. I'm not saying you should go rage at ur opponent but I think it's important for Pig and the viewers here to acknowledge how frustrating it is to play against weird stuff.

I really dont think macrotoss is as "theoritically" good as you gave him credit for. Pie was clearly memeing on him by massing a single unit. Like you said, if he built mutas at any point in the first 15 minutes he would have obliterated.

How is that diamond

Wood league

How to get off that hamster wheel??? Not playing that idiotic game!

Wtf is the r word worthy of blurring out?
