good, sure, but he could be way way way better. the biggest skill increase I've ever had was when I started hotkeying hatcheries as zerg. and units are equally important.

edit: well ZvP is his worst so mby you are right. But he doesnt build units with "select hatch, select larvae, select unit", he just "select larvae (all nearby with one double click), select unit" so I don't think it's really that important with hotkeys.. | ||

In every game he hotkeyed his scouting probe. That is all. Nothing else. In the one pvt game he went Carriers...and still didn't hotkey them or any other units and he had a 200 sup army. o_0 And as far as people saying he's top 5 euro toss, I guess I wouldn't know. But the quality of these games certainly didn't scream of skill. It looked more like Trek playing half drunk. But all I can say is that based on this series (which is all I've seen of Gurram) he isn't even in the same universe as Draco or Fisheye (inactive or not) and certainly not even close to Eri or Testie either in PvT or PvZ (which they both kick ass at ) And Fayth, Pride, and Clawson, still play more solid IMO.I don't know of many other good players that play toss and are exposed, but I would hazzard to guess that he is being overrated in this thread just an itty bitty bit.  Good for Gurram. He beat a good player in a showmatch and plays in an unorthadox way. That's enough to impress me. Now I'll keep an eye out for this guy.P.S. Anyone got other replays of this guy playing good players? I'd be interested to see some ladder games of him for TLT or whatever else he's played. | ||

He didnt play any special strats just because it was a KOTH (not a showgame) and yes he is better than eri in both pvt and pvz. He is currently playing some gamei, like 1469 raiting there now with 27-11 stats. And did u see clawson vs spawn games? yes sure, clawson was in a bad shape etc, but he still didnt stand much of a chance, have u seen gurram vs spawn? gurram made spawn look like a little newbie I didn't see Gurram vs Spawn. Reps? And I've never been a Clawson fan so sure.But I think you're going a little off the handle to say he's better PvT and even more to say he's better PvZ than Eri. Eri rocks my socks off PvT and even more PvZ! Seriously, I just don't buy it. I'll have to see more of Gurram, but he's not better than Eri. No way. | ||

I think it's also vital to say Gurram averaged about 130 APM in the Trek series. 130 APM no hotkeys.... I still can't believe he's a competitive player. His APM dis is all move and attack move pretty much. It looks like the report from an East pubby.  | ||

well I can try to rank my matchups 1 : zvp 2 : zvt 3 : pvz 4 : pvp 5 : pvt 6 : tvp 7 : tvz 8 : zvz 9 : tvt thats how I think it is. zvt I'm inconsistent as hell but when I'm playing well then im playing really, really, really well. fast ensnare+lurker ling is so incredibly powerful yet not used by anyone else and it gives me a huge advantage that makes up for my not very good macro. | ||
