Plus you are a platinum member of AT - Coincidence?? I think not !!!

 

[lozina]

I'll totally be down for playing with some ATer's tonight. I'll look for some names in thread and msg you. I am in plat league (at least in 2v2) but I'd probably consider myself more of a gold level player. That does not mean I wouldnt love to play against plat players!

i was platinum before the last multiple reset. so i gave up and did 5 scv rush, won 4, lost 1 and got placed in gold. =D

people i killed with my scv rush were copper, bronze, gold, platinum. lost to a silver on one rush.

after getting into gold i did scv rush a few more times and still won. lol

most people dont anticipate a fast scv rush.

I feel like the leagues still need to promote/demote faster. We sat at the top of gold (2v2) for 20 games before being promoted to platinum...rank 9, went from about 1400 to 1200 rating. Also, every time I've been promoted has been after a loss, which is weird. Seems like it could just stick us in lower platinum earlier...

Rank 3 now, I think we're kind of over our heads a bit but we're definitely improving. I don't love 2v2 that much but it's fun to play with a friend. 1v1 is so lonely.

 

[linjy2]

i been doing 2v2 with my gf and we are ranked 11 right now on gold. But the past few games we been getting matched up with platinum people on 2v2 and just keep on getting owned.

gf skill level is copper ranked while mine hovers at gold/platinum. i give copper people false sense of badassness in their game play. lol

they just need to stay alive long enough for me to woop ass.

what exactly is a "5 scv rush"? anything like the planetary fortress rush?

 

[Maleficus]

I'm also online if anyone wants to play.

I've pretty much decided to all-in rush any protoss in FFA (unless random gives me protoss as well). Of course that gives the win to the remaining players on a silver platter *shrug*. Toss' 200/200 armies are completely unbeatable in endgame so the solution is that there is no endgame.

Seriously, void ray needs a gigantic nerf and zerg needs something to deal with colossi.

muta harass is a PITA

i meant i won 4-5 games with scv rush.

my success has been like 95% but i since stopped doing it cause its pretty pointless when the game ends in a few mins. lol

map choice also helps too. 2v2 map are easier to succeed then 4v4 maps.
scv vs drones always wins.

here is the key for doing a successful scv rush. scout instantly on 4 player maps. i usually have 2 scv scouting each main and if the first two spots do not have the enemy that means they are in the spot i didnt scout. grouping the scouts is key for efficiency.

i proceed to pump scv the whole time. once i hit 10 scv i start moving out towards the enemy's base.

here is where your micro has to count. group your scv and never let them split apart. do not get surrounded. and basically u won the game already.

while doing the scv rush ur 11th scv is still mining and building a supply depot in case you fail. but if u fail, its most likely gg already.

Mutas are extremely powerful against void rays and collosi. I've tested it a few times now, I don't think most protoss players even realize this because they are constantly shocked when you violate their void ray army.

All gone!

Mutas are extremely powerful against void rays and collosi. I've tested it a few times now, I don't think most protoss players even realize this because they are constantly shocked when you violate their void ray army.

The "standard" air army is a carrier/voidray/phoenix/mothership mix, the ground army is a stalker/sentry/colossi/templar/mothership mix. These melt tens of mutalisks even without psi storm and receive no significant damage. I'm not even sure supply limit full of muta would win tbh. Note that guardian shield almost halves muta damage output.
And even then, any counter needs to be an army versatile enough it doesn't lose the game outright to the other players. 100% muta isn't it.

The void ray is a separate issue. After the last insane buff that allowed the ray to keep its charge level while switching targets, and even while microing backwards, it's just broken in early pvt and pvp. Also broken in FFA. Because the rays are some of the fastest units in the game and are good at wiping any static defenses, you can take stabs at neighboring players with mass voidray without risking much, or sit behind standard toss defenses (cannons, storm, force fields), upgrade and expand. Unless someone is willing to throw away their own win they aren't going to substantially harm you. In the late game you can switch to the standard air or ground army so the last opponent can't do an ultra-dedicated counter like the pure muta.
