I'm pretty sure he and many people can "fathom" your boundless BW knowledge. I don't know what "profound knowledge" you may possess, and I don't know how you could possibly be such a Brood War savant and at the same time not be a good player. It's just contradictory.

You can't separate execution from "knowing the game" because it's such a huge part of BW. We've all watched Boxer kill lurkers with marines and we know everything about it, but that doesn't mean we know how to do it. Your statement about "knowing the intricacies and timing and stuff" is just blatantly wrong. If you did you'd be a good player.

Why don't you make an RWA of one of your own replays (maybe one of the occasional good games) and share some of the profound knowledge, I'm sure everyone here would benefit, oh great professional BW coach that is OL.

iGgs, what'd I ever do to you? I do have a "profound knowledge" of the game.

How do you know I don't?


p.s., you used ostensible incorrectly.

But why only play 1vs1? I'm kinda getting sick of 1vs1 so I am starting to play 2vs2 more often. You guys should try Brood War kor-2 in west server for team battles in hunters. So~!~!good. Nada is practicing 2vs2 too in Brood war kor-2. I remembered when I played against [Oops]November and his clan, 3vs3 in hunters for like 30 min.After that game, I did not play for the whole day(too tired).
At least you don't need to worry about gundam rushes, reaver drops and shits, but you have to micro your zeal the whole game -_-;;;.
It can be said that Brood war kor-2 is the namomo channel of team battles...heheh

wasnt there another instance of you disputing something or another in which you were unanimously proven wrong, between yourself and travis perhaps? you kept on obstinately arguing your point just as you're doing now when you were simply wrong. you never did anything to me, but maybe you should stop trying to portray yourself as such a smart guy all the time and act like a normal person. your psuedo intellect act has got me all but sick.

To the person who said that 'range and 2 gate goon is the best vs gundam', what if they are not gundaming but 2 fac vult? Or add a 3rd fac and 3 fac vulture when you have no obs.

that's a horrible way to argue things -- logically, if you weren't going up against gundam then you wouldn't go with a counter-gundam build order, regardless of whether or not you believe fast reaver or 2gate ranged goons is the better order. i could rephrase your statement as such: "to the person who said that 3rax beats muta, what if they are not going muta but hydra/lurker? or add another hatch and go 4 hatch ling?" see what i mean?

in any case, from personal experience i've found fast reaver beats gundam, pretty much hands down, unless the terran player is better than i am at micro and multitasking. while he creeps up my choke, i have many options: add a second gate, stop his mining, bring the reaver home to take out bunker, drop his tanks w/ zealot(s), etc., etc. however, those options can disappear in the span of fifteen seconds -- it's all about timing.
