The best as an amateur.


I suppose I'm underrated for the list.

Here is my perspective of top best amateurs.

Zerg: Soma, yoon, ZeLoT
Terran: Shinee, others are hard to put in a list due to the same level
Protoss: KEH, Mighty(aka vmqkf), [FOX]Fresh

"Yoon" had an early exit from the amateur competition organized by "Bisu," losing to "Song Jung-woo."

But "Pitbulterrier" won by capturing "ssinz," "No Ji-ho" and "Yoon Soo-woong."

"Yoon" is not in the upper rank of "Zelot."

He has shown too little compared to "Zelot"

Terran totally agrees with you.

But if I were to rank it,

Shinee, Bishop, and Byul.

In fact, Shinee and the other two have wide gaps.

Protoss's "KEH" shows the wrong personality and is being slaughtered on Starcraft 1.

On the other hand, "Mighty" has grown in a great way, showing a good side in the "Starcraft end-of-life war"

"KEH" is only playing king in the dark.
That's why I decided that 'Mighty' is a better player.

I don't think there's anything I can do in Busan right now.

Except to be the only one to participate in the ASL Busan.

StarCraft 2 is not famous and StaCraft 1 is the entry barrier is too high.

"Unfortunately, young Korean gamers are not interested in StarCraft 1 and StarCraft 2."

Yeah the entry barrier to StarCraft 1 is a problem for everyone I believe. It's very difficult to introduce it to someone who isn't already familiar with it or some RTS games at least.

"Korean StarCraft fans have the words "Flsah" and "Bisu." It's "GOD."

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I thought only Flash had the title of "GOD".

What kind of personality do current top players have (Flash, Bisu, Zero, Light, Soma, Rain, Stork, forGG, Mini, Mind, ....and others). For example, who whines or complains a lot? Who brags the most? Who is funny? Who is quiet? Who gets angry easily? Who has good manner / bad manner?

I'm trying to figure out who I should cheer for. I always like the Zerg in ZvT and especially ZvP. But otherwise it can be hard to know who the "good guy" is.

I wish there were heels in starcraft but please do give this video a watch to understand Flash's personality a bit

"Soma" is different even in other amateurs.

He has had a close relationship with professional gamers since long ago.

That's why there were so many fans. There were many opportunities to play games with many high-class professional gamers.

Other amateurs don't have many such opportunities.

Gamers have many nicknames.

"Shine" is called a typhoon.
"Jaedong" is nicknamed a tyrant.
"Zero" is nicknamed Queen.
"Stork" is nicknamed Commander-in-Chief.
"Best" is nicknamed a monster.
"Flash" is the final weapon.
"Bisu" is nicknamed a revolutionary.

But among them, "Flash" and "Bisu" are given the title "God."

do koreans in general not know what Turn Rate is for?

I play in the morning and it's mostly vs koreans, the game settles at TR20 which is fine but I still get insulted almost every single game, I'm surprised it happens so often considering the game is perfectly playable most of the time

Hello,

1. What is something interesting about the StarCraft 1 Korean scene that you think foreigners might not know about?

2. You seem interested by foreigners (or maybe you are doing this just to practice english ;D) do you watch foreigners players streams and events?

3. What happened to Free (윤용태)?

Thank you for doing this!

TR 20 = 150

TR 20 High = 200, which is roughly TR16

TR 20 Extra = 250, which is TR12

i never had the impression TR20 HIGH was TR16. and anyone that play the game often will tell you the same.as a zerg player i really can detect it very well.TR12 TR10 proly no big difference. TR14 is already unfortunate so anything below that is bad.
TR Low High Extra
24 125 167 208
20 150 200 250
16 188 250 313
14 214 286 357

i think since the ping is higher than 200 it fits more TR14

and DTR doesnt work properly tbh. i have countless games where he put a worse TR than it should be and others put a better TR than it should be.
