Speaking of zerg rushes,

That's exactly what I'm talking about.  You shouldn't be able to just make as many of a single unit as possible and win.  You know no one is going to be able to handle an attack like that, even if they have air support their entire base is going to be gone in seconds.  There's no strategy there.

I'm from the Plane of Suck when it comes to RTS skills. Been long since I lost my legit starcraft cd-keys and I'm probably happy that way

Although for some reason I had fun watching Korean pro players playing with their godlike micro skills. You just need to know the basics about Starcraft to understand what they're doing. It's actually pretty sophisticated how they pull it all off.

"Seeing is believing"
http://www.gomtv.net/ is a good place to find some good stuff, they do english live broadcasts too

I'm just wondering how early those pro RTS players retire, human hands just can't handle that kind of strain for too long

Starcrafts Cd keys are pathetic. Just type in a random number, then change the last digit till it works, in the unlikely event it doesn't, move on to the second last. Same with diablo IIRC.

CD-key protection for single player never works... Bnet (& other) working cd-keys are another thing.

Get me a working bnet cd-key with random guess

Thing is, you can't do that in Starcraft, unless you're playing against someone who sucks beyond belief. Those tanks mass looks scary? Try to throw two formations of wraiths at them, and see how rapidly they melt away. Same goes for any unit. The dreaded zerglings are especially a joke, I've once slaughtered three formations of them with two firebats, four marines and three medics. Seriously, it's not even funny how bad firebats rape zerglings.

Are you forgetting the logistics necessary to accomplish such a rush? Hell if somebody managed to produce a 100 times more units than you have, they are using some strategy. Whether it's a combat strategy or not.

Also, you can apply a REAL rushing strategy to zerg rushes to double the win.

Split the forces to flank. Press the weakest point. Blitzkreig.

Siege tank rush fails against terran. Their buildings fly, remember?

SIEGE TANKS AREN'T ANTI-AIR!

[DJ]

I doubt it's even possible to make that many tanks. That certainly looks to me like it would exceed the supply limit.

[Peewee]

Well, supply is maxed out at 200, and siege tanks take 2 supplies... I'll start counting. :p

I counted 76 by using paint to mark off the diamond patterns on the base of the turrets... so yeah this is looks plausible.

[Nilocy]

Must have taken you a long time heh.

Starcraft is probably one of the most balanced games out there atm. Everything can be countered by something else. (Admittedly the terran medic is quite unfair, super healing anyone?)

[DJ]

Unfair against what? Protoss? Try healing psionic storm. Zerg? See how quickly your medics' energy runs out when your marines get plagued.
