It's OK guys, I can write even without spellchecker so much better but I was in hurry you know... I am doing this thing in snitch of a time when I am free to do so.

Thanks Final_Judicator, you got some point there but it's useless to argue about these things as currently I don't have time to proofread and write slow articles to show my full potential in them, but I hope you enjoy even this. Even if it has some grammar errors in it

@ caldo thanks, but I meant indeed that "Terran did adopt new strategies".

Yeah, that was indeed my point, to make you make connection between real life and Starcraft: Brood War.

The reason why average gamers copy pros is because they don't practice like pros. Yes, innovation is better than imitation, but innovation takes time and effort. Average gamers can't afford to practice a video game 10-12 hours a day, they aren't trying to surpass pros, they just want to get as good as they can as fast as they can. A lot of the things that pros do are completely optimized and literally cannot be improved. Copying these fundamentals can make you improve your basic game much faster than random individual practice.

Also, IMO conformity is a prerequisite for innovation. You can never simply ignore the norm, at very least you have to consider it. Does it make sense to try and invent something "new," if you have no clue about what already exists?

Innovation can be a crucial component to success in many areas, but so are the lessons you learn from the mistakes of those before you. If someone before you had streamlined a process, you'd be ignorant to dismiss those innovations in favor of creating your own out of principle. "Copying" can be an effective tool to master before you are confident and skilled enough to innovate in any field.

What do you mean all this spellcheck shit?
Ignoring the irony in Final_Judicator's "post", I didn't mean to be rude, even though it seems that it came out like that. I was just informing him that there's a simple, widely available tool called spellcheck that would make it more pleasant to read. It was a good thread and he brings up good points, although I'm not sure that I agree with him.

I don't mean to be rude either by any means.. it just has to suck for ReiKo, to get this kind of criticism, when he does these entertaining blogs.. mostly it made me sad for him when he replied with the

" Sorry for the grammar mistakes

No big deal, there are some grammar mistakes and I'm sorry about that but well, I did say why there are some and my reasons are perfectly normal and I can't do much about it now...
