(e.g. as a zerg, you're timing of the lava injects would be off) | ||

As for the OP, it would certainly be very interesting to try. If it would be an effective way of training is another matter, but I definitely believe it should be considered  | ||

Sometimes, going over the limit would just break you. Sometimes, growth occurs when one goes beyond one's limits. | ||

Also if they make some tournies at faster speed it seems like it would cause a lot of strain for the commentators, and so the viewers. | ||

bad: sc2 is about timings, you get a feeling about "when" a certain strat hits you. you might forget about that. also, other timings might be screwed unless you look on a watch. good: your minimap control will increase a lot. your apm might increase a lot. your micro might get much better | ||

okay, so when this map is made, it would be with 2 real people playing against each other, right? so then even though everything you do would be slower relative to the game, it would be the same for the other person. this wouldnt be the same as foreigners going to korea, because when they go to korea, they play against people better than them. in this, you would still be playing people of relatively equal skill, and youre both handicapped the same way. going back to the DBZ analogy, it would be like sparring against someone in the gravity chamber. yes, youre slower, but so are they. once again, youre fighting on equal grounds. using the map wouldnt be so much as training with 200g, but more like running with ankle weights. yes, it does make your legs a little stronger, but not by much. however, when you take the ankle weights off, your legs FEEL lighter and it FEELS like youre going faster, even though you probably arent that much faster. (another analogy would be high altiude training) in my opinion, using the map when it gets made would help your multitasking, but in the long term, its not going to be a miracle training that puts you into grandmasters. but then again, this is all theory | ||

But I have some questions. QXC, are you really struggling to play at a faster speed? And if so, what aspect of your play is limiting your speed? Is it you physical mechanics, or your mental power? If you just want to move your fingers faster, it might be a really good way to go about getting better. But if you want to be able to react better to multiple actions and respond appropriately and in a timely manner, you will need more than just playing faster to achieve those results. I would urge you to think more about ways that you could improve, both physically and mentally. There are many activities that you can do that can be a sort of cross-trainer (similar to sports). I have heard many athletes say that their sport is roughly 30% physical and 70% mental (or so my cross-country running friend has told me). At the end of the day, in Starcraft 2, the player left standing is the player who can think longer and harder than their opponent, so search out activities that will challenge your mental strength, and then push yourself in your practices to get faster. If you can find something that can help you improve at both, that's great! But, if you can find ways to push the boundaries of your mind while still honing your thoughts on Starcraft and the situations you would find yourself in, you'll be solid. I hope you spend some time and critically think about my thoughts. Let me know what you think ;D Best of luck! :EDIT: Additional point lcl pointed out that musicians will sometimes play passages at a faster than normal performance speed to make the passage seem easier when played at a normal speed. But, how did they get to that point? They go through the passage very, very slowly. learning each and every note, until they have the intonation perfected. I've played violin for over 10 years now, and have picked up several instruments since, and EVERY new song that I learn, and want to know inside and out, I practice slowly. Slowly and very methodically, always thinking throughout the song about what I am doing at that moment and what is coming up next, and constantly hearing the piece in my mind as I go on. Playing things at a faster pace is a good way to push yourself to become comfortable with executing something, but the faster pace does nothing if you don't actually know what you are doing. If anything, I would say slow your play down so you understand, precisely, what is you are doing, before you go thinking you're going to be super gosu for practicing at 200% (exaggerated) the normal speed. Only to find that when you get into a game, you still lose because you didn't understand what in the world you were doing. Just things to think about. | ||
