lol tricky poll got me!!

I could only beat a lower-class progammer that no one actually knows but figured in one of the proteams. august something.

It was a pvt and im zerg, so it was kinda "wtf ?". I cant be sure about him beign progamer or not. That day i played some of em and they introduced me to him, i dunno, i cant be sure if it was real.

i suck a lot tho.

Top level progamers could take a shit, jerk off, and beat all of us at the same time.

If you dont take any weird ifs (like playing thousands of games hence improved skill and bla bla bla) I would not have even an remote chance of winning. Not even 4pool while he is underestimating me.

EDIT:Oh and I've played a pro in late 2004 and did not lose THAT bad since it was zvz. Still I would be lucky to survive over 10minutes if they remotely tried.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

in my best I could and did. I didn't play the highest caliber pro gamers, but vs the semi-pros I could often play a game. Ended up losing 90% of the time, but who cares. I did win every now and then So probably if I played Nada I could win every now and then. Not that I want to, because to achieve that one win Nada would assrape me so silly

I believe it's possible for anyone to win a game vs a pro gamer. Remember, progamers are human as well, so they have their weaknesses. The problem is that pro gamers have much more experience and practice, so chances of beating them are reduced drastically. Still, there's ALWAYS a possibility to beat one. It could be anything from exposing Yellow's low-eco style of play to savior falling off his chair and breaking his wrist.

Put it this way: Can you say it's absolutely impossible to beat a progamer as in 0% chance? Statistically, your chances might be close to 0, but not at in my opinion.

I could beat Casy PvT, other than that...

progamers from 2000 would be easy to beat with new strats and knowledge of timing, but 2002/3... i'm convinced they still had sick ability back then.

Well, I'd say Uhjoo could beat many of the progamers. Look how he totally schooled Sea and TT in the MSL wildcard (Too bad he ran into the Big Bird in the end).

You overreacted, gosu doesn't even mean the best these days, it simply means good. People say someone is gosu and they just mean the person is good.

Exactly.

When NaDa goes on bnet, he doesn't go under an anonymous ID. In an interview, he said that he could only get games with the "gosus" if he was signed in with his proper ID, Sea.s2 or NaDa.

lol... but the question is whether or not Savior is your bitch... in which case by picking yes you have just blamed the history of American crime and violence on men at a black slave freedom rally

I could maybe win like 1 out of 10.000 games against one of the less skilled pro-gamers, but I would NEVER beat a top tier pro-gamer like NaDa, sAviOr, Nal_rA or someone like that.
