I climbed to gold once in StarCraft 2 by worker rushing every single game. I still have no idea how to play an RTS competitively. I was inspired by reading this hilarious blog post back in the day of a guy hardstuck in plat that decided to just worker rush until he was bronze

Besides cheesing in SC2, I’m gold 2 in Overwatch mostly because I’m comfortable with fps games and I try to plug in whatever gaps our team has. I only voice comm constructive things. The second I get a team where it’s just complaining I mute and try to win without voice comms. If I lose 3 games in a row that’s it, I take a break.
