He MELTED DOWN when his cheese fell apart | Salt Mines #44 - StarCraft 2

[@Cer1ph]

You predicting the exact mistake that Venus would make in 2 minutes was a good chuckle.

[@SuperCucko]

As soon as you said 'the only way terreviento could win is if venus moves his whole army out into this stupid ambush' I knew that was exactly what was gonna happen. Amazing

[@daveplataok]

Terreviento -> te reviento -> "I'll crush you" or "I'll blow you up" in spanish xDD Its like "illcrushu"

[@rpk..]

There's gonna be so much salt mines content with the new cyclones, i can't wait ^_^

@malekiththeeternityking5433 I didn't say anything about the actual quality of the unit. I only related the opinions I've seen so far. Terrans have said it's bad, Zerg and Protoss have complained it's op.

Hi Pig, just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and the amazing content you’ve made over the past decade. Been following you since WoL days. Always chuck on your vids to wind down after a long day at work - much appreciation from a fellow melbournian 😁

[@TriangleChloros]

"A tank is even better than a cyclone because it's a little bit tankier" - the salt is fun, but it's these incredible insights that keep me coming back to PiG's videos.

[@ZerglingLover]

daklar is such a salty nerd that he doesn’t even recognize that random players deserve utmost respect. you need to know several build orders for every matchup, need to know unit counters for all matchups, etc etc, all for the most minute advantage that is lost in the first minute if you scout.

[@velocirapper]

Good one daklar

[@ZerglingLover]

@@velocirapper ?

[@velocirapper]

*Seigund Everyone knows the best kind of joke is one you have to explain hah 😅

[@rozmarinideas5340]

Some of them deserve respect. One guy told me he was zerg, when it was a tvt and he was 2 rax proxy reapering me. Then he trash talked as he beat me.

[@ZerglingLover]

@@rozmarinideas5340 that’s like responding to “man i love dogs” with “well some of them bite”. that’s not a problem with random players, thats a problem with lying losers.

[@WonderingWanderer88]

Actually, "Terreviento", from the second game, seems to be "Te Reviento" in Spanish (Roughly sounds like |Teh Rae-Vee-En Tou| to English Speakers, I would guess). Which means "I blow you up", or "I make you explode"...

[@PiGstarcraft]

oooh thnx for the heads up

[@MinDeRien2658]

Aaaaaaah a salt mines! Awesome, I was in dire need of salt.

[@dexketristo2349]

God, Venuslux fumbled it not once, but TWICE! AGAINST THE SAME GUY! xD

[@Kilorelv]

I like how many people call starcraft a dead game when it's still one of the most popular games in the world.

[@MrYago-xd7um]

They cannot go to Hot Topic anymore without being told to stop staring so they take that soft stroke rage out on games they love that aren't Roblox & Elden Ring.

Ah yes i needed my dose of high quality sodium today. Thank you, PiG!!

A daily. Sodium.. Intake... 🙃

[@jonnozomboid2649]

Fuel for the soul. Thanks PiG and miners!!!

[@glassberg5018]

There was a time when I was getting annoyed with how many mirror matchups I was getting so I started playing Random. My first 3 matches were all mirror matchups so I think the SC2 Gods just wanted me to get good.

[@MichaelLewis-fx8eq]

Watching this before the latest IODIS episode😂😂 Salty SC2 players are the best entertainment😂

[@Konanzor]

That was actually the correct use of "a" in venuslux's parting comment in the first game.

[@josephbraun7984]

I bet the most tilting part of the second TvT was sending out multiple scouts but still being completely oblivious to the army right out front.

[@RagnellAvalon]

Since I'm also Australian it's really funny when the dialect creeps in and out of nowhere you describe something as "dogshit"

[@mickmccasker6401]

PiG emojis in the desciption, confirmed 12 year old

[@AHersheyHere]

19:12 look at the Florencio placement of the sensor tower. If only Venuslux didn't need their mouth washed out with soap.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

Little pictures is how I'll forever call emojis from now on xD

[@DarkMan307]

another reason we dont see pros rolling random in tournaments is that people ware getting really worked up angry when raynor was experimenting with the idea of trying it xD

[@MadArtillery]

The double feature was great!

[@codybrama1270]

Ahhh! I played against Venus and I think i stomped him, but the only salt i got out of it was "protoss OP bullshit" and he left 😂 CORRECTION: He actually stomped me, but spammed messages after to me haha, I sent in that replay but it wasn't salty enough haha

[@PoH42069]

I was about to explain how I do Protoss v Random, and then PiG explained it better as I was typing lol Although I'd add that if you scout Terran after your Zerg-placed gateway, chrono that stalker anticipating reaper

Dude this was so epic lol. I wanna meet Terreviento should make his own youtube we gotta meet this man lol.

[@builderb429]

In the first game most people would assume the protoss is random if we didn't get that chat lol

[@Laezar1]

imagine telling someone they "can't communicate" after calling them slurs...

[@OccipitalVision]

Another fantastic episode. Love it

[@plunderersparadise]

i love watching TvT games and interactions lol

[@JackDeHearts]

I have been in Terras position before. Beating someone who complained about my all in. Then I get them again next game. They shit talk. I lose almost everything to my first push but scare them into staying home because of a proxy hatch + spine. And have to do a defensive all in (with a burrow roach ambush). Didn't get called a racial slur at least but it is the european server lol

[@nikokiko47]

wow throw of the century

[@nahelj]

Im a 3,000 MMR player and love playing random because I don’t have a preferred race and like to keep it exciting for myself

[@jiayojames]

Does it make me a sadist that this is absolutely my favourite of Pig's shows?

[@ALXLVV]

the last one wasn't dumb at all. Not rushing forward either not trying to siege but ambushing is a very unconventional solution. It's actually strategic. On the other hand Red Terran was all about dogmatic playstyle with zero brain tension. So very well deserved win

[@deepvoid2871]

yeah your enemy needs to right click his entire army to unknown..that way it would work.. till proly i dont know plat3?

[@Hurtone]

Something that REALLY gets me salty are the may random players who will instantly leave in a zvz. This will lower their MMR artificially and they will be in an advantage in all other matchups. How big of an issue this really is (leaving every 9 game) I do not know, but it still gets to me. Logical, not really, but it feels like cheating big to me. lol

[@ingeniousclown]

I mean, it kind of IS cheating though isn't it? It's not outright mechanical cheating, but players who instaleave to tank their MMR are cheating the system and finding ways to farm ego points for wins against opponents below their actual skill level. Plus its just really annoying when you want to just play and learn and get better and some dude instaleaves and artificially inflates YOUR mmr.

[@juny9445]

Love this series

[@SeriousApache]

Can confirm: gene is indeed genetic

[@Athelas952]

Reaper expand in TvT is absolutely ok to play on all levels, you just need to get a bunker every time unless you scout them doing reaper expand. It's hard to hold cheeses but it's doable.

[@VengeanceSinX]

you gotta block the reaper jump if you choose that...

[@Athelas952]

@@VengeanceSinX nah, but you should absolutely put your 2nd depo at the jump spot instead of at the ramp, so you can know if anything is jumping up. You HAVE to scout with your 16th SCV at the latest, so you're gonna know if they're proxying or not pretty quickly. (and the guy from the video did not lol) If you see nothing in their base, you need to start a bunker near the cliff, float your natural CC to the main if it manages to finish, pull 3 SCVs with your initial reaper and guard the jump spot, while making marines from your barracks after 1st reaper. It's fine to lose some workers because of the 2nd CC, so keep your combat units alive at all cost. At some point you'll have enough marines in the bunker and hellions producing from the factory to hold. They can still outplay you, but that's just part of the game. Now, pro players wouldn't even build the cliff bunker and still be able to hold it sometimes, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. This works vs masters players just fine. The usual outcome is, they kill enough SCVs to make the game equal or slightly unfavourable, and you just play a normal game from that point. but Reaper Expand can definitely give some nice advantages vs regular factory expand builds, because it's hard for them to punish you if you build that bunker at the front.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

I remember being a scummy low leaguer, playing random was my favorite way to pick up easy wins. So many meltdowns in the text! That, and I could fuel them with so little effort, even dumb things like a question mark 5 seconds before I attack so the guy is typing when my attack hits. Thank you for this episode Pig, it was very nostalgic for me.

Venuslux is probably a native English speaker. "Bitchmade" is an American phrase.

[@Redactedlllllllllllll]

What's funny is he's stealing verbiage from people he looks down on.

[@drakorez]

If someone has an advantage playing random that just means their MMR will be higher and they will be matched with better players. The MMR still makes things fair, even if there is an advantage.

[@maximk9964]

My dream is to learn the cheesiest all in for each race, and just go on ladder as random and do those.

[@135791max]

The term "bitch made" is def slang native to english-american speakers.

[@joeferguson4174]

Never seen a player complain so much about literally nothing like in that first game. Complains about all-ins, All-ins against a player going standard, loses all his units then says the other guy is cheap and leaves. Like how is your brain that warped?

venus lux is actually the name of a trans adult film star. Don't ask me how i know that.

[@A.M.A.0104]

its crazy how many games you can basically win right at the start with the mental battle lol. After watching people like venuslux i always wonder if blizzard or other places ban them for hate speech

[@mwperk02]

The accounts usually get silenced first. So they can only chat with people on their friends list or who are actively in the match with them.

[@F4c2a]

Hate speech isn't actually a thing in many places. A lot of countries/platforms just laugh if you complain about "angry speech." Sounds like something a kid invented, which, seeing the way it's used, it basically is. You should ban people for bad behavior, not some weird made up category of bad behavior.

"whaa random ruins the way i play" or just get good and adapt to the match like a normal player?
