I don't believe it completely though. I'm sure NaDa massed as much as the others, there would be a sort of meta advantage if other people thought he didn't. If it demoralized Flash, it would demoralize anyone. Didn't Savi0r practice like 19 hours a day or something crazy for a while? | ||

July was an exceptional work horse during his peak, but due to various circumstances could not withstand the test of time. Also, there were numerous great players such as NaDa and sAviOr, who did not practice all that much, I mean, here's what Flash had to say about the great NaDa. "In terms of gaming capabilities, the greatest genius of them all. That would be an apt summary. Remember that I was there besides him. I nearly quit gaming out of despair. He would play Sudden Attack all day, but still would go to all these finals. He didn't practice that much while I was there. But he would still win, it was simply mind boggling. The most mind boggling thing was how he would play games with me, then make my builds into his own. After just seeing it once! And it would feel like he would use them better than me. These builds that I spent all that time perfecting." There are also numerous tales of NaDa just playing a couple of off-race games before huge finals and leaving it at that, and listening to music during tournament games. However, with Jaedong, it's not just the sheer number of games that is astounding, it's the intensity with which he approached these practice games. He would record the results of every single practice sessions, and get mad as hell with even the smallest mistakes he might make. I remember Tyson saying that Jaedong would curse and rage every time he missed a dropship appearing on the mini-map during practice. Yeah Flash did in fact say those things on afreeca stream on his bday. After he said that someone on chat was like "Talent beats effort." Flash was like "No! effort beats talent. Im the living proof of that." | ||

Remember CYON MSL when he wiped the floor with iloveoov three to zero? He was supposed to have just played three games in preparation. Maybe there was a time when sAviOr practiced 19 hours a day for a match, but I doubt it. There are tons of players who didn't practice a lot, Sea is also another one. Alas, hard work does beat talent given enough time. Bisu said Sea was a lot better than him initially, but only practiced a couple of games a day, and spent the rest of the day gossiping and watching television, but didn't get scolded by the higher ups because he produced good results. This imagery of all top level gamers being practice machines who grind out games all day is a false myth. There are plenty of gamers who slacked off and relied on their talent. | ||

That subreddit became popular thanks to starcraft 2. It would make total sense as to why it's mainly sc2 content. There is a subreddit for just bw as well, but again not as popular. Probably because most BW players use teamliquid and not reddit. Why it disgusts you I have no idea, but that is why it's sc2 favored. | ||

I posted on reddit the top 5 of July and the top 10 earnings of BW and got downvoted. Never made it out of fresh section. Anyway, lets not get this thread wasted on things like reddit and focus on the main topic. | ||
