I recently played one of those CPU level players in a PvZ. I sent out a scouting probe at 8 pylon, normal (pylon was in base due to 2 gate.) what was not so normal is I scouted him sending 4 drones my way. Offensive sunken? Nope, DRONE RUSH AHHHHH...not. With my cruddy d level micro, I killed 3 drones at the cost of 2 probe and he GGed. Where the hell did he get the idea this was a good tactic?

Maybe, but I doubt he went so all in that if he failed he would have no workers and no mins. (He sent 4 workers and morphed the fifth into pool with 24 mins left.
Also the toss succeeded due to good micro. This guy had no almost no micro .

A toss did this to me today, scouted on 8 with 2 probes. I was so sure it was cheese I ended up doing 10/10 and he was just fucking around trying to kill scvs

Yeah, if I recall correctly he did some crazy rush with his 4 initial probes and won just with probe micro.
Yeah I believe it was 12v3 on lost temple pvt and he send his 4 probes to the other main. While he was harassing with the 4 probes he built one more and started his economy slowly and eventually won the game.

Aren't you glad he didn't rush you 32 seconds earlier? Also, check out his iccup profile 0-13 before resetting, maybe someone was just screwing around with his account since in previous seasons he has done really well.
