I don't think anyone has actually said that, if they have they are obviously full of it.

I would beat savior probably AT LEAST 1/15 games. Just for that fact that ZvZ is kinda like rock paper scissors buildwise.


lmao.

Have you seen sen vs savior? Sen gets a pretty much ideal build and still it was a fairly close game.

Hell, in chojja vs savior a few msl's ago 12 hatch vs 9 pool chojja canceled hatch and it still wasn't a rape.

Sinc eyou are playing the exact same way every time, I think they would catch on after two or three games and you would continue to lose another 297 games.

Now, if you played 173 games, and 4 pooled, then just totally switched it up... well, you would still lose :X

Don't worry, I am in the same boat.

Progamers play like 10 hours a day and practice vs other gosu teammates non-stop. I'm lucky to play 10 hours a week... It's gg for me before we even press start. I wonder how long I'd last though.

5 Minutes? 10 Minutes? It would still be loads of fun playing vs someone that good.

Of course you can.

If you, say, play 100 games vs savior, and every game is an independent event and you go 4 pool against him every game, you can probably win 10% of the time?

Obviously, if I were to play him straight up, without cheese, then the answer is no.

edit:

After actually reading what people have said:

Those who argue against the fact that you can cheese a game need to realize this:

Starcraft is a game, and luck plays a key role.

On LT, you spawn at 12 and 2 (which has the odds of 2/(4C2)), you go 4 pool and he goes 12 hatch, you WILL win.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

If I stockpile canned beans and a ton of water, I could probably defeat an unprepared Savior in a Best Of 10,000,000 game series. Obviously I'd drag out the games for as long as possible to ensure that Savior is disqualified due to 1) Dying of thirst, 2) Getting bored, or 3) Coming over to Canada to whoop my ass.

You really think after the first 10 games hes not going to catch on to the pattern? All I'm saying is, you better hope the first one works. However savior would just 7 pool every game against random chobos. Sorta like the korean playing as ilnp back when all that shit down He raped the ladder going 7 pool every game.
Being healthy, it has been said, really consists of having the same disease as everybody else.

actually banana.milk was ilnp in the wdt ladder. It was in the playoff or whatever it is called some korean played under that nick. Cant find reks post were he said who it was.
Also ilnp 9pooled every game in the ladder. Atleast in all reps I have left.

EDIT:Also he didnt rape the ladder. iirc he was one of the last to get inte the playoff. Not that sure about that part. But he did not have stats like 90-10 or anything like that.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

If I was regularly practicing i could prob take a game here and there vs lower level pros in casual play. Given enough games anyone really good could take a win from somebody, get a dope enough start and you can just play an autopilot match and not much they can do. BW has a lot of luck like that.

If they knew they were playing a total nub, then they'd probably be sure to do a super safe build that would normally put them behind against another pro but vs us it woudln't matter because they'd pwn us so hard...

But i'm a cocky guy so I say I win 1 out of 1000? oh yeah.... we'd be playing bloodbath and i'd be going random.

vs savior eh? hmm...

cannon the entire map? no, he'd get me before i do that
4 pool? no, his drones would eat my lings for breakfast
scv rush? drones would eat them
if he visioned me? i think i'd quit before he attacks
if he started with only 3 workers? he'd still be 3 workers ahead
if he played blindfolded? well, at least he won't take his blindfold off 2 mins into game j/k
if he was only allowed to play with one hand? i hope it's his left hand then
if nr 15 mins? he'd max the map by then with larva from mass hatcheries
if i got a team melee of decent players 7v1 savior? hey, maybe...
but what i need is...

... "power overwhelming"
