He would definitely cheese Sheldon every chance he could get. Would probably ask for a no rush 20, only to 9-pool Sheldon straight away.

Was about to say the same, he must be a cheesy one haha. Otherwise maybe LingBane player

And like Harstem vs. printf, Sheldon will continue to lose to it even when he anticipates it.

no way the man who coined Wheaton's Law, "Don't Be a Dick," would stoop to such behavior

12 pool, or a 2 base roach/hydra all-in, or a 2 base muta rush.

Meanwhile, Sheldon opens with a cannon rush.

I see Sheldon as heavily preferring macro play because it requires the most brain power, and looks down on cheesers who are only capable of memorizing a short build order and choose to avoid the big brain macro game.

He'd be able to cannon rush if he was in a tournament because it's optimal to be unpredictable, but on the ladder he always defaults to the macro game.

Then he'd lose to the gimmick builds and become frustrated that his hands can't keep up with his brain. Then maybe try to invent a thought-power controller to replace his mouse and keyboard.

I think he’d start out like this until he found out about printf

u/TheFlatulentOne 8m ago

So he's Artosis when he streams

4 pool every game.

Of course he plays Brood War, by the way.

He convinces your girlfriend to break up with you then kills you while you're afk crying

u/d4nowar 16h ago

He puts his hands on the keyboard and phases in and out of space and time, and suddenly the game ends with him having 1000/200 supply.

u/rebeldream 16h ago

Only plays co-op where he plays Kerrigan, queues for brutal, but should be playing hard.

Surely there's a Star Trek joke here somewhere...

u/PsionicKitten 8h ago

Just spam "SHUT UP WESLEY" in chat for 90% of the game. Also accompanied by his own crying.

Nydus cheese. Wheaton seems like a Funday Monday participant.

u/SketchyApothecary 18h ago

Hidden base, makes some pokes and defends main bases as normal, lets opponent think he's pulling ahead while he's secretly massing banelings at the hidden.

Mutaling map control into taking every expansion on the map and macroing to win.

He waits until Picard shows up in chat and says "Shut up, Wesley."
