I can only comment on what I saw since back then we don't have coverage like we do now That being said, I don't doubt ANY of the former old school players from coming back and doing work on the current scene, stuff like this is like riding a bike, the fundamentals are there, the rest is just motivation and practice. You certainly don't just forget all the non-game specific things you learned. | ||

Please argue less foolish points. well the point of my post was answering someone who asked how good would Grrr be if he came to ICCUP with his skill of 2000 I called nonsense since someone said he would be B- I agree it is a foolish point but thinking he wold come back with his skills from 2000 and be B- is nonsensical hence the point of my post :p | ||

That would be like judging the '69 Pontiac GTO negatively because a modern day Maxima would whip it on the track and it would absolutely get destroyed by any modern day performance car... | ||

Grrr... was an incredibly talented foreigner who owned the world from '99 to '00 as random. He was a major innovator (especially Protoss builds), and crushed the Koreans without practicing. He was like the original progamer, before Boxer. He won everything there was to be won (which was less back then), and became the closest thing to a foreigner bonjwa that ever was. He would've been better had he been inspired by 1) competition, and 2) money, which showed up later as the game became famous and his overthrowers became the new standard. 2000 Grrr owned the 2000 world ladder as random, but 2000 Grrr would do poorly on the 2011 ladder, because of the improving standards of the game. With practice, a 2011 Grrr could do well. User was warned for this post | ||

Go play origianl LT, Jungle Story, Legacy of Char, Jim Raynor's Memory. All these old maps that used to be popular. NOW: try to macro. Notice how your main has 7 min patches, expansion prolly 6 and not necessary with a second gas. You can't FE cause the map pathing is silly and all your build order timings don't line up. Say grrrr somehow used "2000 BOs" (cause he's had them memorized this whole 11 years) he would look at his money and be like "holy fuck I have a lot of money" and then his build would change. I wish I say this silly argument earlier. The new standardization of maps (for most part standard min patch relationship between mains and expands which are in 99% case more than the older maps) changed the flow of the game outside this guys time. Without realizing that, you can't even begin to make a legitmate comparison. | ||
