Obviously communication is a vital part of this, and I suspect that many times we win because we're talking to each other the whole time, whereas often the opponents are random teams who must communicate via typing.
Of course, this assumes we always communicate perfectly. We've had situations, for instance, where Branden communicates some scouting information but one of us fails to understand what this actually means; no one's fault really, but that's how it goes. Other times, though, in the heat of the moment, we even completely miss what our teammates are saying, which can be disastrous; luckily these moments are few.
With that said, certain members of the group are more prone to doing this than others, and even then not necessarily in situations where other things are demanding his attention. Thus, I present the next Rage Comic I have produced, with perhaps more to follow.

So how's the pure-macro strategy treating your 3s team?
ReplyDeleteFlask all-inning Queens yet?
Going all-macro has actually worked out super well on larger maps; there was one game where I straight-teched to Colossi (it was the first combat unit I made, and I was producing 3 at a time off 2 bases) and somehow we won, much to the anger of the other team, who took the time as we were leaving to tell us that "[we] weren't any good."
ReplyDeleteAlso no all-inning Queens yet, but it might be good for a laugh some day (1v1 obs anyone?)
Calling it now that Flask responds to this post with an indignant comment in like a month. Just sayin'.
