EPTPlease rate this blog 1/5 stars ( see what i did there)
Here's some random stuff:
1. In Starcraft (bw as well as sc2), Mechanics are the most important part. By far. Being creative doesnt get you far in the long run. You need to execute the current tactics at the best level. This is why Koreans (aka mass training) are better than anyone else. At some point however, player's mechanics will be very close to each other. That's when smartness and mindgames comes into play ( That's why Flash is god, he is not only perfect in his mechanics , but he ALWAYS has the correct built for the situation and reads his opponents perfectly ). But you will never get to that point , so this shouldnt matter to you as a player .
It's like you invent a new product, sure you will have some success at the start, but then there will be 2000 competitors who will create the same product in better quality and at a better price.
Stop playing gimicky , stop trying to invent the perfect build, just practice your mechanics.
Never stop practicing your mechanics.
2. You know why there are LR threads?
You guessed it, for LR! I love people who think that we wouldn't need a LR in GSL threads.
Thats what the threads where created for. Sure its a lot of fanboy posts (30%) , balance discussions (25%) and other completely useless posts (40%) - but at the end of the day the only useful posts , the only posts which are actually read by other people then the poster are the LR ones. So stop talking bullshit and start talking about what happens in the game or stop posting at all.
3. Polls on Teamliquid should be closable (by the creator)
Example :
Predictions on who is going to win: 25 % Player a , 75% player b
Now this game is over, player a won
and other games are going on, but there are still people looking at the OP and OF COURSE they are still voting in that poll (you know you do it) so at the end of the day the poll looks like this:
Predictions on who is going to win: 45 % Player a , 55% player b
Doesnt seem like that big of an upset now , does it?
I know its not the best example.
4. So you know how passiv zergs in bw go lurkers with spire tech so they can snipe the observers from protoss with scourges and win time until their eco advantage kicks in?
Couldn't you try the same thing with terran in SC2 and go banshee and use vikings with scans/turrets to kill the observes if they try to push you? I have no idea of the current TvP, but in my head it would go something like this:
-quick tech to 2 starports ( similiar to 2 port banshee)
- maybe harass a little, but mainly build many banshees and 2-4 vikings with gas and stay passive
- go on 3(even 4??) bases and
if protoss becomes aggressive : snipe observers , stay passive, let eco kick in
if protoss tries to macro race: go aggressive with your air and do a lot of dmg with banshees-> build up army of your choice-> you should be way ahead.
Im not in the best state of mind ( you guessed correctly I had a few beer )
Hopefully there was something useful in this for you. If not meh its just a blog.
