Your Definition

Phrase used in [StarCraft 2] play, especially at the pro level, to describe adapting to a situation with a seemingly [on the fly] strategy that exploits a specific mistake made by an opponent that is unlikely to be repeated later [in the game] or in further games for that round if it were countered by using a conventional strategy. As an opponent would then be forced to react by changing their overall playstyle for the remaining games in the match, the targeted weakness will likely disappear. Thus a player would lose their metagame advantage of being able to predict where and when an opponent is open to attacks.

Comes from veteran Ukranian StarCraft progamer Aleksey "White-Ra" Krupnyk responding to a question regarding how he would handle an infamously tough match-up for him in an event, which due to his strong accent and odd use of English came out in a memorable fashion:

"Don't worry, I use Special Tactics this time, no problem."

White-Ra went onto win the match 3-0 and advance to the next round by playing [standardized] openings that moved into bizarre unit mixes and unorthodox usage of them that were [unique] to each game but in all cases exploited the same specific weakness in his opponent's strategy.
