What do those abbreviations mean in Starcraft?
A friend of mine asked what some abbreviations in SC mean, and I couldn't answer like
- DT Wall
- Gas the Opponent
- Heavy Metal
- Joyo build
- BCs
- CCMU
- chobo
and a couple of others ... (I'm gonna ask him again, to fill the question with more data)
Solution 1:
DT Wall = A wall of Dark Templar, ground troops can't pass without killing them, which they can't do without detection. Often used on the Utter Darkness mission on Brutal difficulty.
Gas the Opponent = Gas Steal?
Heavy Metal = Terran Mech Heavy Build
Joyo build = A Terran Rush strategy. Did very well in the 2003 WCG tournament.
BCs = Battle Cruisers
CCMU = Cannot Create More Units (I've always heard this from map makers)
Chobo = Newb
Solution 2:
- DT wall is Dark Templar wall (though I'm never sure when that would be useful).
- BCs are BattleCruisers.
- Chobo is Korean slang for newbie.
- Heavy Metal would be what I assume to be heavy mech play as a Terran. This is where you focus on building tanks, thors, hellions, banshees, and ravens.
- Gas the Opponent (this is a guess) is an offensive gas steal where you build an extractor/assimilator/refinery in your opponents base to deny them the ability to mine from it. Thus forcing them down a different build path than they would normally go.
- Joyo is a Stracraft: Brood War player, he was famous for a build that would dominate protoss players (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/JoyO_Rush)
- CCMU = Cannot create more units. It means you've maxed out on your army supply at 200/200.
All these questions seem to be Starcraft: Brood War related. I think it may be mistagged.
