if it is true ( i doubt it) FS is not a good player. Pheraps he is good in theory but not in gaming (they are two differents things). | ||

but i played 9 games, two seasons ago--just D level-- and i thought they were the worst players ever because my spammy 400apm or something, with no real build order, finished off zergs that would never get off ( 1 ) base i think everyone's experience in iccup--unless you're part of a club, channel, or a bunch of friends that do the same things as each other--differs assimilator before pylon or whatever, and 5 probes mining all game i had no idea where these people found iccup from---looked like their first game of starcraft ever, was with me but am i to judge ? if i make it to C, sh*t changes, and there's more selection of players they wanna' get better, and that letter, and record, shows a time committment at the very least don't you think? relatively speaking, it's not easy to get to A on iccup when you're playing B level--what an ambiguos thing to say, what is B and what is C---it's different every time you get there that difference, each time, or one particular season, can some way work with coincidence to bring people away from the game and from -here- | ||

Basically, you are trying to say that Luxury didn't win an MSL right? Because he cheesed? B- with strategic play = B- with standard only games. That's just how it is. Sure it's EASIER to get to B- using cheese, but it doesn't change the fact that you are B-. I for one play standard EVERY game. Against zerg I do a forge FE into either a 4gate zealchon or just a midgame army of zeal/goon/temp. Against terran I go either 1 gate obs or 2 gate obs. Despite this, I don't hold anything against people who use strategic plays against me to win. | ||

 He's very good at cheesing, though. I watched him almost beat Brat_OK on Requiem when they uploaded the clanwar reps to ICCUP, with his 2 gate proxy shit. I think that he will never beat someone he's played more than once, though, because it's 2 gate middle 100% of the time. Brat_OK beat him in the first game, barely, but then after that it was not remotely close. Not to say Yan is bad, but he's certainly no "legitimate" 1v1 A- player. | ||

Yea but if ANYONE played him with that knowledge he would get raped. = not a good player. You know why bisu is fucking sick? Because he plays standard and straight-up. He is a master of the game the way it should be mastered. Same with Flash. Guess who the only person he ever cheesed was? Bisu. | ||
