Well, as I saw it at least, the standard games were more like long, slow deaths in which they didn't win any encounters at all. You couldn't tell their skill from a lot of those games just because they were completely outclassed. Well, being killed in under 8 minutes doesn't show anything at all. I mean, against progamers, cheese is not so much of a "do or die" strategy than rather a "do and die faster" strategy.. | ||

See though, I think alot of the reasons why these foreigners are losing isn't only because of their mechanics. Its their ability to adapt. or the lack of adaption that us foreigners have. They should know better to change plan once an scv or something scouts your crucial tech. or if your expansion isnt staying up then might as well change your ways about it! | ||

You remember yellow (?) saying something "this looks bad for nada" but only with eriadors units in a progamers situation, meaning, sure if yellow himself was sitting there he might been able to win, but not eriador. | ||

Daniel Lee likes it for that reason. I also think the point is valid that if you confront a pro gamer in his comfort zone (i.e. standard play), you have 0 chance of accomplishing anything, whereas if you cheese you might have some chance. | ||

Daniel Lee and Artosis make a good commentating team... even with Artosis' overly-repeated phrases  I could listen to Daniel's proteam stories all day.What a fantastic way to bring the pro and foreign communities together... | ||

And IEG will be offering them. Say Khan wants a foreigner. I doubt Daniel will decide for them which one. Even in the case of eStro, if the current coach doesn't like the player Daniel has in mind, what will happen? | ||

Dude this is just one of a million cases were you make yourself look like a fucking dick. Stop stating shit you don't fucking know, its okay that your an asshole , but stfu if you aren't 100% knowledgeable alright? TL.net is a great place. Try not to know everything about everything dude. You are obviously very smart guy, can you use it constructively just fucking once... if you did the forum would be a better place! | ||

You're like 10 times more annoying than anyone else on these forums right now. Edit: The point is not that there's anything wrong with loving TL, it's just annoying to see someone act like they're a pseudomod. Look child, I would NEVER want to be a mod ever. He has trolled about 10-15 of my posts alone with his stupid (almost always wrong) bullshit. He posts all over the general forum and never actually says anything constructive. I love TL because I've been here almost 6 years and it has so many fucking awesome people, and unfortuntely in the last year or so many lame people go around trying to be king of the fucking hill .... when they aren't. I doubt asking somebody to not always be a faggot is how a mod would approach the situation. (I am not posting about this anymore. Sorry for thread derailment , but it had to be said) | ||

I agree with you, but I also think playing standard and trying to beat the progamer at their comfort zone shows guts as well. You know it's going to be hard, but you're still trying to beat him with standard play. Sounds pretty gutsy to me;) | ||
