July would have made sunks with that ling money if he knew the acad rush was coming. You can't defend that with a ling heavy/sunk light defense, all things equal. You sir, are just silly. Please don't ruin my thread by instigating a hundred people to flame you for a page. am i drunk or ur icon flashes? | ||

Too many quotes ^^ Humans can do anything they want , starcraft has limitation in comparison to real army tactics. Units don't route , no morale , no discipline , always ready to fire and a billion other things that make startcraft what it is. So sc is basically general vs general . No army factors. Edit: Casy's move was something really simple , yet not being used , so it paid off.He was being smart , rare thing to see in games. Progamers do a lot of stuff like that but its difficult to understand even when you stand behind them and watch while they play. I would be happy to see pimpest 2007 | ||

The simple fact that small things like this aint done (often) proves how tight progaming is. So when you acctually do a mindtrick you have to be absolutly shure you can pull it off cause when it backfires you cant rely on your enemy doing a mistake himself. | ||

Progamers do a lot of stuff like that but its difficult to understand even when you stand behind them and watch while they play. Right, what a silly simple thing that is underused. However, how long do you need to come up with such ideas while sit your ass there doing nothing but analyzing?? Now try to do that in the middle of a real battle while busy macroing(in case you are a noob that means clicking around and builting, you know, builtings and units). Also consider what is on the table: it's a do or die match! The skill of decision making is also involved. I doubt you even have the balls to take such risk. People tend to think they are superior than what they really are, thinking they can do all kinds of things while never put themselves into the actual situation. If you are into The Art of War, then you should know not to 纸上谈兵 | ||

2. if you suddenly do that strat in the middle of a game you are a retard. the amount of mining time you lose + random map/positions/execution level/opponent's opinions towards sunkens makes it --------ev. don't flame over something so trivial with 28 posts please, especially with lame ones like, "if youre a noob, macro means..blah blah", c'mon man | ||

Casy didn't fake 1 Rax CC, seeing the rine n° July had guessed there were 2 Rax, it's the fast acad + medic + firebat +stim he had that he hid to July letting him think he had a CC instead. The lings were clearly enough to stop that n° of marines, but not with firebats + medics and that's how Casy won the game. | ||

He didn't invent the trick during the game, that's for sure but you can't plan a trick like that. The conditions have to be right. He was going for a fast accad rush and seeing the conditions were right he used to trick to get an extra edge and it worked great, that's what makes it pimp ! | ||

that was a very nice move to say the least, and anybody who says he wasn't impressed imgaine being July and making different decisions based on the information he had. "thinking things through more thoroughly" isn't as easy as it sound when you are playing at this speed and under high pressure. i WOW'ed. | ||
