its usually one of the following: zergling rush, reaper rush, marine rush, zealot rush.
a void ray rush isn't really a rush because it does take a lot longer to get there.

Hey guys just an update on the tourney thing:
Looking to get atleast 16 people by the next couple days, so far there are about 10ish haven't update the list just yet.
But hopefully we can get it going my Wednesday the 18th, I'll make a facebook group tonight aswell as some spreadsheets for the match ups and stuff.
Anyways here are the rules (please object or add any if you feel there are some needed):
It will be best of three and the final match being best of five if both players would like it like that.
You must stay the same race per round(opponent), unless opponent agrees to a race change.
Each round will start once all matches from the previous rounds are finished.
Results of the 3 games must be emailed or pm'd to me in 2 days after the round has started. Keep replays just cause.
If no results are handed in, neither of the players will advance to the next round.
Each round will have two days so please get in touch with your opponent and figure out the best time to play.
For those interested, we can watch the finals ingame or i can do a ustream!
But hey this is all just for fun and nothing that serious. Let me know how you guys feel about the rules

also curious about the skill level of everyone here.
I'm a gold player, ranked about 16 i think.

fyi, not sure about hard, but i tried INSANE the other day since we were missing a human for even teams. the computer picks up 10 mineral per grab compared to our 5, hence the insanity!!! btw...they had alrdy done their own attack before any of us were ready to rush. pretty unfair lol Quote:

i got a question
I play zerg and this has happened twice today ~ opponent is protoss and we're playing 1vs1. I scout his base and find nothing but a few probes and a nexus, meaning he's doing the build outside my base zealot rush, but by then it's too late because I'm already doing 13 drone spawning and there's nothing I can do to counter that.
WTH am I suppose to do ... the last game was almost an hour of micro-ing the few lings I had around and my drone building hatchery->cancel->run->build
I destroyed his base but I dont have enough lings to counter his 6 - 7 zealots with 2 protecting the pylon + gateway outside my base

If they go for this go for a spawning pool early and get 1 or 2 spine crawlers, until you can get a few zerglings or roaches. Roaches kill zealots and are no match if you kno how to micro them properly.

i play overlord there as well to keep track of the workers that come in, so i don't get cannon rushed or something.
plus when i get my lair, i could star having it let down the creep there.
