There are different types of players in Warcraft3, there are the casual players, who, if you want to become gosu, should be looked down upon, they arent less skilled/devoted players, they are n00bs, naps, nubs, or anything with a ‘n’ in front and a ‘b’ at the back.
Basically, you have to forget about this game being a game: winning or losing is your biggest achievement or failiur. You have to be devoted like a Samurai warrior is to his cause. A true gosu doesn’t go to school, he’ll make a living from playing games and he doesn’t need friends: he has AT partners.
The true gosu has an adrenaline rush once the searching for a game eye finds a game…..you feel like accelarating from 0 to 100 km/hour in 4 seconds, or being kissed by a foto model….in fact, for a true gosu those feelings pale in comparison to finding a game.
The true gosu doesn’t have a normal AKA, he has a name like “I_aM.[GoSu]-0wN4G3” names like these strike fear into the hearts of your opponents, and it make it harder to /stats you, keeping them in uncertainty about your true gaming skills, although the true gosu has hundreds of replays scattered accros various replay hosting sites to show his gosuness to the rest of the world.
Once the game starts a true gosu immidiatelly starts his build order and makes control groups with his buildings in it. He the clicks those buttons as fast as he can to switch from one building to another, this serves no real purpose but it does look gosu on replays and it keeps APM high. Another option is to try to immitate a famous tune with spamming rally points, this is preferebly some kind of national song, or a composition of Beethoven or Mozart, it is low class and ordinary to fake a rock song or pop music or anything mainstream.
A true gosu manages to restrict himself in real life as well. It is like a top athlete: it takes dedication to be the best. Therefor a gosu restricts himself to one-night-stands, a serious relation might end up in someone calling you or knocking at your door while you are mid-game, this is unacceptable and should be avoided at all costs. Gosuness isnt easy, it comes with a price as you can see.
Another point of being gosu is being confident. There is a thin line between arrogance and self-confidence that you must learn to walk on. Of course arrogance isnt good, but is it arrogance to simply point out you are the best and you own everyone if that is in fact the truth?
It isnt.
You are the one that has APM so high that the amount of interrupts your processor can handle is beginning to be the bottleneck, you are the one that owns everyone even in 4on4’s when 3 allies disconnect (don’t mention that all 4 opponents disced, it are details). Self esteem = confidence, and that isnt bad, as long as it is based on reality.
Forum behaviour is also vital in being gosu. On a forum, it is al about respect while saying you don’t care about it. A gosu shouldn’t care about a forum, since he has his gaming skill to care about. But the truth, as you know, is…that no skill, no matter how great, is usefull if it isnt appreciated by other people. What good is looking good if no one looks…..the same applies to gosuness, there is no such thing as gosuness if no one acknoledges it.
Therefor your task is to get status on a forum, and have people respect you for being gosu, and for being gosu ONLY. You should not be nice, be rude to noobs, not answer any questions, and in general, be an asshole. This is to make sure people respect you for….being gosu, and not some minor aspect of your personality.
To make people acknoledge your gosuness, you should have either replays to proof gosuness, or stats, even better is to have both, as your gosuness is limitless, replays of you beating good player shouldn’t be a rare commodity. Stats might be a bigger problem. A loss can happen to the best, you however arent the best: you are supreme. Losses happen to all but you.
A loss has 3 results:
1: you smash your mouse hard on your desk, hit your monitor, possibly even push it off the desk.
2: you call your opponents a noob. It doesn’t matter that he just won, it was either inbalance or a hack, either way, you are better.
3: you are angry, put “fun and train acc” in your account text, and make a new account, where you put “real acc” in the text box..
The new account should always have an excuse; you cant admit to have lost on a real account.
Some standart excuses are: “I play another race now”, “I joined a new clan”, “the old account was just a test account”, “I got a new internet connection”.
No matter what, your account must be more vergin then Britney Spears, never raped by an opponent.
Languege used is also important, standart English isnt enough for this, like it has been said before: the way to becoming gosu is a hard, yet honorable one.
Use lots of arrogant or funny, geek sounding phrases like “GG…NORE.....K??? THX NOOB!!”. Also uses “keke” at least every three sentences. It is a sign of being of Korean heritage, and although you have movies on your computer that worship racism, being Korean online for the sake of gosuness is worth the pain.
