There is an feeling from this series of articles that you and others dont quite get broodwar. This comment is not meant to belittle anyone, I just think its important that someone voices the sentiment. There are many mistakes, oversights and even a few fabrications. The suggestion I have is to watch more games. My aim here is to bring to everyones attention that there is another higher level of broodwar enlightenment that can be attained. Its nothing to brag about, you just have to watch more games.

I'll freely admit that I haven't watched as many games as most of the folks on this website. I'm curious--what sort of mistakes/oversights/fabrications are you speaking of? I'd be glad to update the OP with a better read on things. Thanks so much!

Using an arbitrary number according to the squared law you mentioned early doesn't really work. Somewhere along 1.5 would probably be more in line with when and how units can attack in a game due to blocking/pathing/dying early etc. At least 1.5 is the example used in the Wikipedia article you linked.

Thanks so much.

And yes that series was just heartbreaking to watch. A fitting denouement to BW, though. Gotterdamerung, anyone?

At that time I thought I was over-analyzing things. Maybe I can get out of D- if I actually had fast hands.


same here, i was D-/E cause i like watching and analyzing pro games more than working on mechanics, although i did get to plat in sc2.

I just found this series of blog posts, and I would like to say great work. As the biggest Flash fan this side of the Pacific, I agree with the OP's salient points. I'd just like to offer another example of Flash's mastery of positional warfare:

Flash vs Last in the 2010-2011 Proleague Playoffs



I'm not convinced that Flash reads military strategy; rather, I think he understands it on an intuitive level. I think this is also true for the other master of positional play, the disgraced Savior. In fact, I'd argue that Savior in this prime was even better, since his style was maneuver warfare whereas Flash could sometimes too static.

Anyway, great OP.
