So I saw this video by HuskyStarcraft... and I thought "I have got to try this out." What do you guys think on it's viability?





None.

This could work, but the Protoss was terrible. Protoss should have scouted better, and he didn't get any warpgate technology or any robotics facility. I think an immortal + probe pull probably could have stopped this push, or just lots of stalkers maybe. You could try it, but proxies are always dangerous, especially if you get scouted.



None.

Lol. No this isn't viable in higher level play.

Although, I was thor rushed along with a ton of marines and a couple SCVs the other, and it hit pretty fast. I don't recall if he had a proxy factory though, and I fast expanded, and I almost held it off, and I accidentally made a really bad micro mistake about a minute before the thor showed up.

Thor rushes are great vs bad players, but not vs decent players.



None.

Looks viable with good worker micro. His build was not super-efficient too, he could've had that a good bit sooner. Seems like the timing is perfect for a 4-gate counter and reminds me of the Odin mission, haha. =)



None.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
