The MOST DERANGED post-game rant in StarCraft History | Salt Mines #45 - StarCraft 2

[@nathanspiers914]

Hello 👋 Im Tixt, this was a great honour, thanks for showing this PiG. Its true, im a terrible D2 zerg who cheeses the protoss. This interaction was a real trip lol.

[@marksmith161]

Lol nice.

Is Artosis playing SC2 again?

I did spot an arty pylon on his first wall...just sayin

[@2639theboss]

Bro even artosis doesnt rage like this. He'll go on some rampage about how fucking stupid they are, and incompetent, and an absolute disgrace to the world, and so on. But even he doesnt slide all the way into this kind of behavior. He woulda stopped after the first five insults. Not five pages later.

This looks alot less harmless than that

[@widowmines231]

if he get's this mad after winning, i kinda want to see what he looks like when he loses

I’m guessing that’s when he starts using the N word or slurs against Jewish people. He goes full 4chan after a loss.

[@ToTheNines87368]

I don’t want to be on this idiots side, but he complained about smurfs insta quitting games to get to lower leagues and I think therefor implying that’s how “silver league” players like Ticks gets boosted to diamond. At least that’s the only way I can make any form of sense of it.

[@MaiAolei]

14:32 I just can't help it. The model for Army of Snakes, with that pose, looks exactly how I imagine the reflex response of a card carrying NRA member when you say something negative about their pickup, but the shotgun is still mounted in said pickup.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

Thank you for these Pig. I'm sure they don't all get seen by the ragers in question, but if even some see that they aren't cool for acting like this but are in fact the butt of the joke, well I hope it inspires them to improve themselves.

[@HamidKarzai]

I'd hope they see it and come and drop an unhinged rant comment here on the video as well, it'd probably be really funny

[@Zer0cul0]

This is like a quintessential statement. Zerg gets to diamond by ling flood, Protoss and Terran get through gold by learning how to wall off.

[@TheGreenTaco999]

player1: "you have no macro skills, no micro, army comp is trassh, yet, diamond!" player2: "yes!" player2: "this is a game mate, for fun. chill out and find some joy in life." player1: "no!"

Barcode Protoss is definitely an active member on r/StarCraft

[@sirlisterofsmeg333]

That player could be the source for a Molten Salt Reactor.

[@shupichii9647]

Back in the day, I used to have a zerg rush with 24 zerg by 2:30-3min and id hit the enemy with JUST enough lings to kill their harvester line about 85% of the time. I love the ling flood with commitment. You get that extra attack speed and burrow and put em where they would normally put their main bases and watch them be like; "Why cant I place this?" ? *Rage* Then they send a probe and realize, it was 1 ling this whole time they been typing. Gosh; I really love zerg cheese. They should start a farm.

[@iisthphir]

I like how he mentioned a baneling nest being built and then said there wasn't one earlier. There's a lot going on so it's understandable that it's overlooked. I still find it a bit humerous though.

[@patrickcreech8203]

Wow. Bravo! Bravo! That back half was amazing.

[@Lilah_Lazuli]

I would love to see his reaction facing me when it put me in masters. ranking placement was apparently bugged at that time so i probably should have been silver or low gold at best. I haven't played since Heart of the Swarm and was trying to get back in the groove of things but people either quit right away or faced people who were way better than me. At that point i dropped sc2 again since i didn't really learn much and would mostly always be cheesed. The few games that got to maybe "mid game" i would have no idea what i was doing.

[@Danymok]

160apm with a solid build order looks like Diamond League to you? I see that in Gold League

[@PiGstarcraft]

The APM maybe rarely the solid build ;)

[@grishmak20713]

thank you for really bringing that rant to life

[@noneayourbusiness5149]

The problem is, he is right about one thing. Protoss are just nerfed over and over, despite no Protoss Professionals winning the major tourne's. But yeah, he screwed up royally. You get hit by the same tactic 3 times in a row, that's 100% your own fault. He had PLENTY of time and resources to build a proper defense against those run-by's.

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

I once won against a terran that made a marauder all in (rush) and killed like 2 bases (the natural and 1 random that I did because the natural was sieged) and he started demanding that I give him my address and "stop living with fear" and then he ranted that I was cheating somehow. (the reality is that his macro suck and I was eco ahead for like 4 minutes, and then I killed him with something)

[@ledrash6079]

Wow, i am sitting and watching the video from yesterday, then when i am done, this one is up... 2 min ago. Nice timing :D

[@Softcloner]

I wonder what combination of words and actions would have made him less mad? Felt like every word, regardless of intent just egged him on.

[@CaptTerrific]

Loved the puppet show! More please :)

[@dawislv]

It's not that it's imbalanced, but it's definetly putting more pressure on non Z ( in this case P) player to do things and to execute them properly. All these comments were absolutely right, but if I think aboit it both players actually executed on a pretty similar level with P arguably even macroing better. We are saying that in this scenario Z shoild obviously win.. It doesn't mean it's imbalanced, but at most skill levels we can "difficulty" of what needs to be done and how it needs to be executed os definetly a factor. Of all these things that we said about P not doing or doing bad - we can say the same about Z player. Z player didn't wall except in one place, he didn't harrass, except for very late - which is when P responded and took out Z 4th. Only thing that Z was definetly better at is being a good sport. Since he submitted the game here though he arguably still wanted to make fun of P player.

[@mauzytv]

I played a barcode protoss that also typed *balanced* after I obliterated them with my zerg. Not sure if it's the same player

[@5m4llP0X]

That was some Terran level salt. He should switch races.

[@bartonfile6569]

Protoss is the new Terran.

[@5m4llP0X]

@@bartonfile6569 Nah, Toss will never believe their race is the most difficult race to play, and requires a million APM to just accomplish what other races can so with just F2. Terran superiority complex is why they are a buncha salty bitches.

[@vivsavagex]

Ive been top diamond as zerg and high platinum as terran as my highlights. Not good but maybe slightly above average sc2 player. And learning protoss currently. And i have to say, if every player played every race not only would they be better players, there would be no crying about race imbalance. They all have their challenges and strengths. If there was actually any merit to balance whining then everyone would just switch to the better race? The game kind if boils down to: dont let protoss get the army they want, dont let terran get the positioning they want, and dont let zerg get the economy they want…in diamond league i realize by watching my replays that any slight imbalance their may exist between a race on a map is so far negated by my mistakes in mostly macro, but all other aspects of the game to where the imbalances is only relevant to pros and for specific maps

NGL I’ve messaged players after games, said some things I regret back in wol/hots. Gotten too worked up about a loss. Had to take a step back and remind myself it’s a game, it’s supposed to be fun. But Jesus Christ, ranting for like 15 minutes straight after WINNING a game that you played incredibly poorly, defended poorly, then F2ed your army across the map? Using that many slurs over a game you won? Yikes. Uninstall the game. It is not healthy for you. Go touch some grass.

I equate it to this. It is like when you see a Homer Simpson type higher up the ladder at your place of employment and it enrages you because not only is it unfair but it often ruins your experience doing your job because of incompetence.
