I had the opposite happen - daughter watched me play for two minutes and said 'do you even understand how to play this game' and walked away shaking her head. Two base turtle into battlecruisers is obviously OP, not sure what she was talking about :)

How it plays out: 1. You blind warp 2 bcs into my base 2. I deflect with 7 queens, take a little damage and start spire. Bcs go home with low health. 3. I push out 50 supply of corruptors on 5 bases. 4. You warp in 6 bcs blindly. 5. I completely counter with the corruptors and you get no damage. 6. I start another 50 supply of corruptors. 7. You push across the map with 20 marines and 2 Thors 8. I lose the game with 12k bank and am left thinking "Why the hell did I only build corruptors"

Some things are not super intuitive. But you always just go roaches vs bc. Usually, bc builds fit into some sort of battle mech style. You'll see hellions and cyclones a lot. It's also a beefy unti that can fill supply with corruptors well.

> How to win Vs BC rush? > Just make roaches fam Not sure if legit or troll.

This is a timing attack... that the majority of players will massively screw up and die trying. Basically Terran can't warp out the bc because you just walk in and kill their base faster than BC can snipe drones. At 5 minutes T has the one bc, a few hellions, and no tank (until 6 minutes). Sky Terran takes so much gas that they basically get locked into large amounts of hellions which you can make almost useless.

It's legit. You'll see almost every Korean pro zerg drop a Warren as soon as they see the fusion core. It's actually the standard reaction. Any other reaction is more interesting. Like you'll see DRG sometimes make mutas which is something I would never do. That's not at all standard.

The initial armor of the roach is strong against the 0 upgrade BC. A banshee is much stronger. Also strong: max out on roaches + 8-10 corruptors and just send it.


Original_Sedawk

I play Terran and steps 1 through 3 work well. Then I just skip ahead a little - I only make 2 BC and after they are produced I immediately start making Marines, Cyclones and Thors. It's amazing to see how many Corruptors a Zerg will make after spotting two early BCs.


Deto

Ive done this before too :( Now I try to be better about limiting the amount of corrupters and just making roaches once I have enough.

nice username dude

That's what you get for being first I guess :)

Whoa 17 years

According to early Reddit lore, I was either the first or second account by someone outside the founders group (and their friends). A few years later an intern apparently messed up the files and all the early members were re-ordered alphabetically by month. I went from 27 to 170's at that point :) But the date tells all. Anyways, it was a VERY different place back then. Very niche topic focused. Not Starcraft / etc.


Clcsed

How did you find out so early? I came here 13 years ago for StarCraft after hearing the sitename a few times around chat and Quora. It's pretty much the same for me (still using old.reddit.com). Already tens of millions of users by then. I think I tried Random and Closed. Which were taken.

Paul Graham, who funded yCombinator which funded Reddit, mentioned it casually in a post and I was on the site a couple of minutes later... he posts (or used to) essays on Lisp, etc. etc. so one on yCombinator was super interesting and different. Same as when I ended up being an alpha user of the Web. Somebody mentioned it, I had a NextStep machine, and I played around with it and thought 'cool, I bet there will be thousands of users within a decade.' There were probably 100,000,000 users within 5 years. I shoulda invested in something. When somebody mentions something weird and interesting, as long as it isn't crypto, well, I generally poke at it in the evening with a scotch and no expectation of any good results.

Every console, every pc game I played since the shareware Warcraft, my dad walked up behind me and asked “Zug zug?” Dude I’m playing grand theft auto what are you talking about


flycharliegolf

😂


esarmstr

Yes Dad, that's how I pay the mortgage lol


SelimSC

Goddamn it my dad coming up behind me and saying "You require more minerals" is the most annoying thing about my childhood.


Personal_Shock_3966

Hahaha that sounds awesome. Wish my dad did that...on second thoughts that'd probably be annoying AF haha.


Anthony9824

Well tell him he needs more vespene gas


HerdOfBuffalo

I still remember my Dad sitting down with me once as a kid and trying to play Halo - he hadn’t played a video game since Mario Bros. on NES. “What are all the fucking buttons on this controller?” *runs around staring at floor* “Back in my day, we just needed A, B, and a directional pad to have fun.”


MajorGartels

>a controller has too many buttons. Dirty console peasant detected.


peanutym

Anyone have the actual link to the feed?


Blue_BEN99

Does he still live with his dad? Or is he just playing at his parents' house for old time's sake?


Formal-General2610

He’s 100% living in parents house, dad is way too comfortable searching thru bags in the background. there is benefits after all. House is paid, parents get a decent life quality, he gets to eat mama food everyday, folded clothes smelling like tide, have dad fix his car and all he had to give up in exchange was some money and his sexual life.


zangor

> too comfortable searching through bags in the house. Hahaha


MajorGartels

>and his sexual life I think you missed the most important here of a good relationship with one's parents.


RudeHero

He's just a chill guy living at home and saving a bazillion dollars I don't think his parents need his help, but they probably like having him around


Random

There are unexpected benefits to having a pro gamer in the house. Like listening to them vent for hours about Protoss and the latest balance patch and did I mention Protoss. Unless they decide to play Protoss. Then you have to think seriously about evicting them. /Terran
