Its not so much about practice lately , but about better strategy IMO...And i dont think zvz is that hard to learn .Even if he cant learn 1 good zvz strat on the map he can always 4 pool and get a pretty sure win .On isle he should just pick P vs Z .
MadFrog : In my opinion, the biggest reason why WC3 is dying is because it is not such a great game as Brood War is.

Elky is faking. He's going to make his opponent practise all their matchups and he'll just pick Terran when he gets in. You can't trust a Frenchy.


If they've practised all the matchups then him picking Terran won't matter...

Once you announce your race you can not change it. so he can not pick, he must stay random no matter what.

I have all the inside goss! but i have taken a vow of silence.

beginning NOW!

uh? =(

4 pool is certainly not a "pretty sure win", besides i believe z v z to be the hardest matchup of them all to practice if you are aiming at OGN level. The koreans have played an insane amount of games in that matchup.

i'd like to see the last game vs rainbow on the LOVELY islands map^^


Hmm didn't know about that, looks bad already for elky, facing terran on namja iyagi(imagine he randoms toss on close positions against nada!), zerg on nostalgia and toss on paradoxxx2. If he needs a bit of luck to advance in ogn, this does not look like a fair start

Please tell, please tell!

More seriously
-> Leg: in last OGN junwi picked PvT on Paradoxxx, isn't it? Why was this allowed? Because he announced it beforehand?

-> Drone: as a rZ, do you send your ovie to scout? as a random in general, do you scout as if you picked your race, or do you delay your scouting to avoid telling your oponent your race before he finds out by himself?

You've got to announce it for the whole season or just for the single match (-> race picking)?

i am pretty sure he announced 2 weeks in advance of his game or something. You have to tell OGN as well as the opposing team manager (i think) so it gives the opponent time to practice (but they can say NO if it is not the race you announced at the start of the season). If you do not announce you can still do it if the manager says yes before the game, but noone in their right mind would.

In the game July vs Giyom, july practiced for ages for TvP on paradoxx but forgot to inform AMD manager so it wasn't allowed. So he had 1 day of ZvP practice, then Giyom accepted him to go T before the game (master of pvt islands~!) that is as far as i know the only time it has been accepted without massive prior notice.

carnac: at the start you announce for the entire season, if your a race abuser... i mean picker... it shows up as "p or t" etc. (like in the case of bluek)

Giyom also got raped that game iirc.

I'd say elky's odds of advancing from his group are around 1:8 against.

benny I kinda scout as normal- on islands I don't actually send my lord into his base until it's too late for him to change his build though.

i'll sum up what the smart people said here so the rest of you (i.e. not smart) have a chance to read it for the first time:

what elky's random does is force the opponents to play it safe builds that can't be cheesed. if someone rushes instead, they might kill elky but they don't even know what race he is so it's risky.

elky gains an economical advantage by assuming his opponents play safe builds instead of having to play a safer build himself. if elky doesn't do this, he's taking a risk to catch someone off guard who maybe expects elky will play for the economical advantage a little too much.

but of course once they know what race he is they have years of experience of countering that race to work from.

if elky gets z he has 2 weeks of experience, if he gets p he gets outdated protoss to use, if he gets t then he has a big advantage

And let me remind you that all that stops Elky from raping everyone is this famous "eat-my-butt 'til I die" ass all those korean girls seem to have. It obviously impairs BW practice.

To be true, I don#t think, elky chances will raise or fall with this random thingie, well imho they were low already before.

elky's doomed. Wont get enough practice to keep up with progamers. Look at ChRh, he couldnt handle playing 9 matchups because he couldnt keep up with the other pro's


wtf no

he raped with his random, it was only when he started being pure terran that he really slumped
