The blitz micro king himself! I did learn from your content originally. Shame you weren't that active when I was playing.

I was top 30 in 8v8 a few years ago. The recipe was pretty simple.

Step 1 - Raid and harass nonstop in the early game, never fight fair engagements, abuse range, tax your opponent's attention. Ideally harass multiple players to mess up all of them. Greed behind this, it's not expensive to raid.

Step 2 - spam pulsars (Clyret's meta)

Best RTS ever made, in my subjective opinion, but incredibly toxic player base despite active moderation.

I think it's a numbers issue with 16 players in a standard game, and if you play five games in a session, with all chat enabled, you're going to run into a small handful of truly nasty people, which is souring of the experience and why I put the game down in the end.

I know the standard advice is to ignore it but it's just not fun to be constantly exposed to aggressive and unhappy people.
