I just finished watching the scforall video by artosis where he shows us the training center for STX, and a few interviews, thanks you very much for that btw Artosis.

anywho, in the video there is a player who sits with both his legs crossed and Artosis was very surprised by this. I sit with both legs crossed while i play, and was wondering is it that rare? and thus i would like some feedback from TLers as to what sitting positions they most adopt while playing

[image loading]

Poll: How do you sit?
(Vote): Both legs crossed
(Vote): One leg crossed
(Vote): Both feet on the chair's wheels
(Vote): Both feet on the floor

while you play ?

that is so awesome, i can just imagine some terran on the other end getting raped and raging all over the place, and you sitting with you feet on the desk ( crossed) , slightly reclined to the side and a look of disdain due to the lack of effort required to destroy him.

(common known fact that terran are angry, nothing against it, i love boxer and nada too. well boxer :p)

Either both feet on the floor or both crossed.

I don't pay attention to my position, it just seems to end up in either one

I think he means one ankle over the opposite knee. The position you're talking about is different.

I go for both feet flat on the floor. Crossing both legs as you play is super weird.

when people say "crossing both legs" do they mean with ankles near opposite knees,
or do they mean with ankles crossing each other / feet on the floor?


because i do the latter but not the former

I thought he meant pretzel style on the chair, but that would just be insane, trying to reach the keyboard like that..

neways i'd say mostly i play just feet flat on the floor

I sit on one of my legs. It generally goes numb after a while, so I move around a lot.

I think it's the former, since that is what was depicted in the video.

I shake my legs so much as if having Parkinson.
So many girls told me to get rid of that habit before. I got rid of them instead.

I cross my ankles when I'm not doing anything that involves much concentration. Otherwise it's both feet flat on the floor.

I sit with both crossed, because I sit on the floor with my KB/mouse/monitor on a step in front of me. I could use a desk I guess, but it's super comfortable to just stretch out when I'm not gaming. Also, Love Sacs are great.

I usually have my feet resting on another chair making me sit like a "L" basically. I rarely have my feet on the ground, even though its supposed to be best for your posture (?) at least I heard something like that.

I do this as well. I cant sit still for periods of time unless I am in deep focus, like playing a game of sc. When doing that I would put my feet on the floor.

-feet on floor
-crossed legged on chair
-one leg on chair (crossed under the other)
-crossed ankles
-feet on chair wheels

I move around with these different leg positions when playing a game. The most comfortable for me would be one leg on chair though XD

i don't know when i started doing this, but i tuck my right foot under my left so it rests on the chair. I only do this when i'm playing intense games though, with both feet on the floor i feel too open and don't feel i can concentrate as good

If I have shoes on, one crossed.

If I don't both feet on the wheels or something. My brain keeps on telling me that some kinda creature is gonna jump outta the wall or under the desk and bite my foot if it's on the ground. Odd habit.

I can't sit crosslegged while playing sc because then my knees don't fit (laterally) into to the leg space of my desk, so I can't get close enough to the keyboard to be comfortable.

I sit both feet on the floor
