Let's face it, StarCraft is in a slight decline at the moment. Don't feel sorry for blizzard -- it's their fault! With the recent release of Mists of Pandaria, what gamer hasn't given up a slice of their video gamer playing pie to the new game on the block?
Despite spending more time than usual as a druid, I still try to for in my daily set of StarCraft games. sets of three, of course.
My first game was a PvT. I was happy to win by teching to colossus and smashing him in open battle.
What surprised me was that he turned our to be a diamond ranked player. Diamonds don't usually lose straight up like that.
Second game was a TvP. Imagine my surprise when he scouted me, saw I was terran, and promptly began canon rushing my front door. I had already walled off, mind you. So I built a bunker, just to be safe, held off the rush, and won in the first few minutes. Turns out that clown was diamond as well.
Who does that, I wonder? Until now, I thought diamond ranked players were better than that. Blind cheese will never work as good as scouted, planned cheese. I can only assume he blind cheeses me because I play as random. But honestly, we can invoke Sun Tsu here:
Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat fights first and then looks for victory.
