Unless you are totally new to my blog, you know how I love to compare off the wall things to Internet marketing. This time it's Starcraft2.
BTW, if you want a piece I am ShoeMoney player code 935. Just be warned, I am currently ranked 7th in the world (in my silver division).
Maintaining vs Growing
In Starcraft2, you have to grow (expand) your base in order to survive. But you also have to maintain what you have with some defenses.
Much like with internet marketing - once you get a stream of revenue set up, you put in place some defenses to keep it going but then look to expand and grow your income.
Exploit Angles
Ohh no orbital command early in game? Here comes my cloaked banshees to wreck your econ. The best Starcraft2 players scout intel on their opponent, finding out what they are weak on and building to exploit that weakness.
In Internet Marketing, my biggest days were because we found loopholes in advertising platforms and exploited the shit out of them.
Trust No One
I can’t tell you how many times in Starcraft2 people have said, “No Rushing ok?” and of course I say yes, but then I reaver rush their ass asap.
In Internet Marketing, the one thing I have learned in the last 7 years is that you can’t trust anyone. With the kind of money we make, you have to be very careful with who you share information with.
The Know-It-All
Ever notice how in Starcraft2 when you're playing like a 4vs4 and one guy is screaming at everyone telling them what to do... and making those annoying !!!!! on the map where he wants you to build shit. Then the funny part is at the end of the match he is last on the scoreboard. But he has read every guide on Starcraft2.....
Just like with Internet Marketing - a ton of the “gurus” and “experts” have no real-world experience doing what they are telling others to do... or a bunch of punk-ass wickedfire kids talking smack... at the end of the day I say SCOREBOARD, bitches.
Act As If
If someone starts off the match saying hi or gl hf (Good Luck Have Fun), I reply with a FU. I am not here to be your friend, I am here to kill you as fast as possible.
If acting like a cocky asshole does not work, then act like you're Korean. In Korea, Starcraft2 is their national past time. NO JOKE. They pack 100,000 seat stadiums to watch 2 guys go at it for a championship.
Say some Korean and your opponent will shit themselves:
Manner = same
Sugo = good effort/good job
12 si = 12'o clock direction (as in position)
Chi sa = - Cheap, dirty
Sa rang hae = I love you
Nimi = your mum
18181818181818181818 = fuckfuckfuckfuck more the angrier
Dak cho = shut up
