FA, haypro was being sarcastic due the post above him, there's no way clawson/fayth are better.

Oh :D Didn't see the post above him haha

I was wondering why daaman said "you are wrong insane" and not haypro

EDIT:

Btw, whiz plays without hotkeys too (pretty much) ;o

EDIT2: Just noticed what maps the KOTH was played on, P/Even map, Z/Even, Even, Even/P, P

Pretty balanced~!

Well I just watched 2 games of FA(P) vs Gurram(Z). Still no hotkeys. One game stood out in particular, it was a 45 min late game with the 2 fighting for resources. FA won, but Gurram was controling big hydra/ling and ultra/ling armies without hotkeys. Still low APM around 130. The lack of hoykeys shows in his play as P and even more as Z. Most really good players kinda massage their units as they move them to keep the army close (no stray units, temps with lots, etc.) Gurrams units just attack move around in a straight line and that gets him into trouble some times. Even more so with ultraling.

Other than that I haven't seen any glaring defects in his play. Macro seems good enough for the level he's at. I'm just amazed he plays this well with no hotkeying. But IMO he could benefit from control groups of units to help him manipulate them better. But holyshit, he's plays really well using a very unorthadox system.

I'm blown away. o_0

hmm
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.

Bitch, you obsed me vs rapide !?!?

I played a few games with lurk/ling/queen on gamei too, mad fun ;D

I use to observe gurram a little irl from time to time since i live just a couple of blocks away from him.
hes not that super fast with the mouse, actually. and the thing im most impressed with is that he use close to the lowest mouse sensitivity.
also he doesnt build most things pressing for example "b + o"( for observatory) at the keyboard but he press "b" then with the mouse he select the observatory pic.
and as zpux or someone said, he doesnt use hotkeyes with zerg or terran ether, thats just the way he play.

i think i had a fp vod with him which we recorded a while ago, ill try to find it if someone shows intrest.

I'd like to see a fpvod of Gurram. The whole idea of playing Protoss without hotkeys still boggles me. I play P as well.

i knew Gurram was gonna win, i had put 40 or 50 gosubet points on him and got 200 back.

trek is pretty much washed up, he'd be better if he stuck to sc, imo that is.

I'd like to see that FPVOD too if you have it.

And puerto, I also bet on Gurram, but only because of the percentages and after watching the games and seeing the BWchart I was just so confused I didn't understand what happened.
