I haven't been successfully proxied in a very long time and I'm an awful sc2 player (you see many more proxies in bronze than silver). A standard build order will crush a proxy 99/100 assuming the players are vaguely close in skill.
- ajuc 13y agoI played proxy oracle vs terran in silver and gold and had 80% win rate with them. I stopped doing it cause it's not fun the 30th time, but it works very reliably.
- karl_gluck 13y agoIf you really believe that, I'd suggest you check out the WCS Season 2 Grand Finals from last night. Really, all of the WCS event. Proxies do quite well against standard build orders--that's one of the things that makes pro play so much fun to watch.
- wonderzombie 13y agoNot necessarily. There are plenty of strong economical/greedy build orders which are vulnerable to proxy play, esp if you don't scout. Actually, some of the recent WCS games are great examples; there's a reason why people will proxy or 6 pool. Sometimes it really does come down to luck, as in whether you scout at a specific time or not.
