Ret is young both physically and metally. I do not think he age is affecting his abilities. What say you, grandpa toss?


Actually there is scientific data showing your reaction speed drops once you pass the age of 18.

Also your fingers start slowing down as well

There are quite a few people (like martial artists) over 40 with much faster reaction speed than necessary for starcraft.
Caution! Future approaching rapidly at a rate of about 60 seconds per minute.

-_- link to the study? oh wait, there isnt one. even if there was, it'd just be a theory. there are too many variables

All this talk about being alone, MAN UP MATE =p

When I look at ret FPVOD's it so reminds me of sAviOr in terms of how efficient they are with what appears to be an average APM and how they always have a good unit combo. But sAviOr is able to carry this out during the entire duration of the game and get more out of his units whereas it appears tha ret's late game is not that advanced. Keep practising ret and you'll get there ! Great video though. GIMME MORE !

I'm amazed that Idra hasn't complained at all (unless I missed something) about loneliness during his stay in Korea. He sure has strong willpower.


IdrA mentioned the loneliness / isolation once in an interview on fnatic that was around about two months ago - he more-or-less said that he felt it but that he also enjoyed the reality of him being different or unique in these ways (Correct me if I'm wrong IdrA)

thats not what i meant, i meant the uniqueness of being the only foreign pro + the other positives of progaming outweighed the negatives. the isolation definitely isnt a good thing, though it affects everyone differently.

It must be so difficult living there with the language barrier. Hope you get to learn korean pretty fast!

Very cool video. GL over there.

Loved the part where the entire estro team is practicing in the same room and all you can hear is the noise of shitty keyboards and mouses.

i can't remember what the cj gaming area looks like (or if we've seen it - i'm sure we have), but the estro basement always struck me as rather depressing.

it must help to have artosis around though.

What do you mean by isolation, is it physical isolation or just from the language barrier?

why, is it illegal in Korea?

I'm kind of curious about Ret going to S.Korea so late, considering SC2 is out soon. Then again it's pretty cool and I hope he does good but his mechanics are gonna get a total makeover I'm sure.

Mayb. he didnt get the opportunity until now? Anyways - I would go to Korea at any time, in any stage of life. Its just so...Cool. And give it a fair run, so you dont look back and regret it later in life.
Anyways - great video, please send cookies!

There has been at least one study. I watched it on youtube. It wasn't saying that reaction speeds decrease with age. The documentary concluded that peoples brains lose the ability to learn and do tasks basically without even thinking about doing them. Sorta like how an older person finds it more difficult to pick up a language than a toddler. Something in their brain just doesn't function as it used to.
