I DL-ed a reppack of him but i dunno whats his level of skill. Im sure he's better than me (duh) but maybe there are better options when it comes to learning from replays.
So can anyone say a thing or 2 about this guy?

EDIT: i got banned bcoz REkrul's # of posts is inversly proportional with his IQ. I really dont understand how a respected forum like this keeps such a knucklehead as admin.
i am nite. nite1 actually, bcoz nite got banned for no reason, and nobody told my why...

rep pack is on yaoyuan and here http://www.sendspace.com/file/tugk5n

I've only watched the tvz games, theyre all really really good. His apm is usually around 170 which shows how smart he plays. Also his micro helps him loads too. Basically he almost always does the right counter builds in tvz and manages to mess zerg up early game when he tries.

Why'd thread starter just get banned? on topic, I wasn't THAT impressed with his tvz. Dream.t)Orion pretty much bent him over and falsely promised he was going to use the lube. I've seen one other tvzs from him that were pretty nice, and his tvp is.... gay lol. Just and above average amateur, they come along all the time.

Than you are hard to impress or you read in to a single rep far to much. kouros is no doubt amazing, especially tvz. Seeing him get raped in a game by a professional zerg is really not something to base a wide spread opinion off of.

He tears JoPD up, he wins almost all his CW matches for ekasa and other leagues, he has tons of reps on yg. and various other sites. He is a force to be reckoned with.

Well, Lomo has better control, but Kouros plays better.

One of the smart things about Kouros is he plays a style suitable for his apm speed. A lot of players see pros do X or Y and try to copy it, not realizing that some strategies require a great deal of speed (proper SK Terran really is one of them). If you'se seen his recent replay against magma[s.g], he took the macro war to the Zerg by using an army of tanks that he spread well and then basically running the Zerg dry. He made just enough vessels to guarantee support against defilers. He used his mnm in an almost secondary way, rather than being an all-around-the-map-busy-body like we with guys like NaDa and In_Dove who have the apm speed to pull it off. It was truly remarkable to watch.

He's not pro. Just really good.




Yo FA: if you think his TvP is gay, check out Ever)T(Piano. Piano is most gay player in the history of SC me thinks.^_^

Orion isn't pro, he's a practice member of CJ.

Lol, forgot about piano for a second, ok second gayest TvP.

off topic: if you r ready to come back and be respectful of admin and tl policy, fine, but i think it is lame to nest a thorn of your personal agenda on an already closed topic w/in this otherwise legitmate thread.

uh..
he is very good, but as said he is slightly inconsistant and can have bad games. either you got 3 of them somehow or you're clueless.

Piano is the only player I've ever seen who was successfully both boring and interesting to watch at the same time. He plays a boring turtle style, but in a weird and intriguing way.
