Failed cannon rusher has CRAZY MELTDOWN | Salt Mines #13 - StarCraft 2

[@CatacombD]

My bet is that the batteries didn't run out. I'm guessing he threw his mouse after he failed to micro the first collossus.

[@andyspark5192]

most likely

[@nickb5311]

Lmao

[@houtamelocoding]

**colossos

[@kuroigetsu8180]

That was my guess

[@steven13929]

haha exactly what I was thinking. He either threw the mouse or his mom came in and told him to stop screaming

[@turkleton9113]

I watched the first game and was like "wow Pig is getting a little clickbait-y in these titles" Nope, the full crazy meltdown was there in the second game. Amazing videos as always brother!

[@PiGstarcraft]

haha wouldn't do that to ya :D

[@velocirapper]

This show has made me so much less salty in my games. It's embarrassing

[@ericbetterman9220]

Haha.... Awesome. I think we we all start a little bit salty with this game in our early Dunning Kruger days of starcraft. I was a nightmare when I was a waist high playing starcraft 1. I was a maphacking cheater at the age of 11.

[@j.w.213]

@@ericbetterman9220 you‘re simply disgusting

[@IsaacFNghost]

Only one thing that makes me salty as fuck. When I’m losing and my opponent starts gg’ing for me and rubbing it in my face. Idk why but it turns me primal lol

[@velocirapper]

@typicalplayer9308 that boils my blood. Its just such a pathetic behaviour too, i wish it didn't make me so mad

[@ZerglingLover]

@@IsaacFNghost just leave and don’t GG. If they’re going to rub it in your face, they don’t deserve your time nor a compliment.

[@GreenHorseVR]

Someone failed a cannon rush against me, then told me he’d kick my ass in real life

[@PiGstarcraft]

hahaha! "I'd smash you in real life" is one of my favourite genres of rage

[@Scytha86]

My dream is someone tries it.

[@JonNeimeister]

You know PiG's a good caster when instead of, "It's gonna take this overlord a million years to get there." he says, "It's gonna this overlord like a minute to get there. Actually? A minute and a half."

salt is just seasoning

[@andyspark5192]

The loser got the gamer-rage, he smashed the mouse on the table and batteries popped out, if the loser had any. It's also possible that the mouse flown from table after the the rage. Loser rage is delightful

[@PiGstarcraft]

I think your theory is spot on!

[@legoupil1819]

Shreddern feels like he has... closeted feelings? Also nice to see some chill terrans, there's at least 4 of us

[@PiGstarcraft]

jesus that surprised me, giggling my ass off right now

[@danielbeshers1689]

Shredder obviously bound his f10 to his mmo mouse which is why he couldn't pause when the battery died. That's just good fundamentals.

[@twistedolive516]

I think Pig might have missed it... Shreddern was using his not-so-high IQ to set up his 'watch the replay' comment by not using his mouse at the end. So it was just one more excuse.

[@mrfordf3508]

The mouse battery didn't die, he took his hands off to type salt.

[@tehcoolemu]

Alternate hypothesis: he was playing on a laptop, so when the mouse battery ran out, he still had a trackpad to fall back on. Clicking stuff was still possible, but much slower and less responsive, making micro basically a lost cause.

[@Floxxoror]

That's a line from John Lennon's song "Imagine", isn't it? "Imagine all the people. Imagine there's no nydus" or sth. Quite a sophisticated saltineer.

[@goblue142]

The salt mines might be my favorite KZbin series ever.

[@allanturmaine5496]

Bless your heart for casting this. What a game!

"Waist band it, mate! nobody wants to see it" WTF 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brandonguthrie6511]

PiG, just a heads up, you did miss an edit at the 22:34-22:36 mark. Amusingly, you seemed to even somehow be able to predict it as it happens. But wow that second match was a thing of beauty, and excellent detective work about the batteries. This video will stand the test of time.

[@PiGstarcraft]

Dot will not be pleased haha she spent so long editing

[@Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

@@PiGstarcraft There were quite a few actually.

[@verne51]

well, if you talk about it while it happens, that is simply narration, not prediction. for it to be prediction you have to talk about it before it happens.

[@ashra8281]

I wish I had my opponents to wish me such luck with my bf lol

[@AndrewArts]

yes we all need the kind of support that Shreddern is showing his opponent. I want my opponents to tell me to go make my gf happy too. I feel that Shreddern's mission in life is to remind people to always cherish and make their loved ones happy, an advice we should all follow from this good old wise chap

[@BogdanTestsSoftware]

Shreddern may be playing Protoss, but he's been watching news with Donny Vermillion. Is he a former Terran salt fountain? I guess we'll never know the truth!

[@Jimmy-pp6fo]

Others: comment don't have sound. Me reading this: ...... Yes they do

[@jerubaal101]

The first game was so painful as a Protoss..First Flame could have won so easily if he had just expanded at any point.

[@TheKurgain]

Right! How do you contain and not take the opportunity to expand.

[@dpend]

That was highly triggering, easy win if you macro behind

[@harrybulz8703]

Ya that first game could a gone a different way, I woulda put cannons in main base too if I had that good of a contain, not expanding was a mistake too, plus he shoulda realized the nidus portal strat was coming

[@MrDenniy]

Wow, Shreddern brought NA General Chat into the game, I’ve never seen that before! I thought they just hung out in Chat spewing their nonsense.

[@ieaturanium574]

Shreddern doesn't use wired mouses because the form of the plug leads to associations he hates. He also doesn't like to change batteries for the same reason (with emphasis on the + side of the battery)

on top of putting smileys on during losses, i completely agree with you PiG! enjoying the “fighting game” is gonna include losing! afterall its 1v1 somehow has to lose. lots of folks compare sc2 to 3D chess but that same logic should be applied to everything

The protosses were very outskilled. Cannonrushes can get you higher than you deserve :)

maybe his mouse ran out of batteries when he smashed it against his desk.

The proxy forge is so you don't have to scroll all the way across the map to build the building while microing your probe. It's called efficiency, duh PiG.

[@bullogne3368]

Was really hoping Johnny was going to say something like, "Yup, killing off degenerate traitors and making SC2 great again."

[@sorsocksfake]

You laugh at shreddern. But imagine: you just got to second base with your buddy, hoping to get to first base, get denied and tossed out of second base, while your own backyard is getting probed hard. In the end you hope to turn colossus and get something done, but that too goes limp and you get turned stalker while a bunch of marines are barreling down your natural grounds. This is not a pleasant experience in Starcraft!

"...as he goes for the Viagra upgrade... plus two to range." You kill me!!! hahahahahaha

[@fandomkiller]

i learned cannon rush during brood war before anyone in my group of friends. it was glorious. the next like 4 lan matches everyone un-allied me(but left vision on so i dint expect it) and ganked my base lololol good times. a good friend of mine and i we would play 2v4 against lower skill lvl friends, he would go max supply zealot and i did corsair lolol. so bad but hilarious. we dominated

[@Khantia]

Although unlikely, there is the possibility for the mouse to start acting up instead of just dying when low on battery. Like not moving as much as you tell it to, or teleporting around your screen. But quite doubtful that this was the case.

[@David-fg2jy]

damnit that commentary at 10:50 is amazing lmao

[@GeminiShadow]

The problem for Shredder too is that his insults backfire after he lost. Calling someone a mentally disabled homosexual and then lose means you lost to someone who is mentally disabled (their sexuality is irrelevant).

[@bullpup1337]

well to be fair he only lost because his mouse went out of battery the moment he actually needed to do something that needs skill. Or so we are led to believe.

[@jacksonhill7552]

He’s calling him a bundle of sicks

[@maxmustermann8985]

what ill do against a cannon rush is ill use 2 workers to follow the 2 enemy drones, then depending on the situation 2-3 to block the wall in spots and 3 drones for every cannon thats building most of the time it works if its not florencio :D

[@MaiAolei]

I usually root against Zerg each time (in a ZvZ I hope that both lose), but when I see a cannon rush, I would even become a supporter of IdrA.

LOL "what a hard right turn into fake news territory" lmao, when your base is on fire, bring up politics I guess, had me on the floor with that salt

[@Volkaer]

I think FirstFlame was trying to mine salt from those watching - by "microing" away every time he's about to kill a unit, letting the zerg count just grow.

[@SDPPPodcast]

Bro, these videos are amazing lol

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

That was satisfying to behold

[@jlowe8059]

That's why i use a wired mouse. His batteries could have been really low and screwed his mouse up, but either way it doesn't matter, it's not an excuse he didn't play well and he was either bad or dumb for playing with low batteries.

[@marshallgarey2913]

I'm a Johnny fan now.

[@madumlao]

the mouse didnt run out of battery. his will to play did, then he made an excuse that it was his mouse. he went super heavy into typing after it lost, that's where all his apm really went

[@PiGstarcraft]

pretty sure you're right haha

[@Zeuts85]

Lol. I notice a trend with these. Tends to be the player who goes for some cheesy crap and it backfires has the worst, dumb attitude. The guy who just plays a normal game seems much smarter and chill. It's gotta be the Dunning-Kruger effect at work.

[@Novocane23]

I understand the zoning potential of Ravagers, and sometimes luck - but I figured they would see much less popularity in pro games (yes I know this isn't a pro game) - due to those players being much more efficient in dodging; but I suppose the air zoning from biles is just good enough to justify having them to disrupt their air units from being used effectively.

[@calvinwilson3617]

The huge aoe damage on demand from ravagers allows for amazing zone control, its extremely effective at forcing a disengage or punishing overaggression

[@JosephVanderzwart]

maybe the mouse was degraded before it totally died, but even so, he probably lost anyways being so upset lol
