That first sunken break by stork must have hurted Koll, he lost like 5 drones, 2 sunkens, quite a number of lings and then had to spend more minerals on lings --> slow hydras/lurker

That and he spent mineral on mutas to get picked on by archons ... hopefully he'll do better in the 2nd game ...

I'm sure this has already been asked but what's with all the conflicting reports of koll's age? Chinese commentators just said he was 14.

You know having creativity doesn't equal having skills.


Creativity is a skill... and that's not what I am talking about. He said I changed my argument from 'who takes this game seriously to who remained playing' I am pointing out that I never said Mondi and the others stopped playing. I said they stopped playing competitively. Therefor he failed miserably and would probably be best fit to slit his wrist.

Even though you didn't write it in your first sentence of your first quote, you still wrote in your first quote that they are more skilled. But skill in here are things like harassing, army management, multitasking. Having good strategy means shit if you can't execute it well.

To further this point, the best strategey comes as a result of perfect mechanics, you can only perform great strategey with the help of mechanics to get you the units, positioning, and situation necessary, idc how great an idea you have, it wont work against a anyone ever when met with people with overwhelming better mechanics.



you guys are now talking about the Korean Pro's. Atleast I hope you are because if you think any top foreigner has 'perfect mechanics' that is really funny.

new foreigner's mechanics>old foreigner's mechanics



only reason new foreigners would beat the old school ones is because like what I said in first post. They just use what they see the Korean pros do. There is a Korean pro match on basically every night now for us to watch. Back in the day there was never any.

so getting builds from koreans and being mechanically exceptional is not skill? i would argue it's harder nowadays to stand out as a foreigner because of the easy access you mentioned.



the foreigners are NOT mechanically exceptional now... what makes you think they are? Koreans DOMINATE the iccup rankings and they are getting raped by the koreans at WCG as we speak.

uh, no shit they are not mechanically exceptional compared to koreans. i mean that foreigners have to be better mechanically better than other foreigners to be considered top and consistently win. that's skill according to me, and probably everyone else too.

Do you see what one other i saying here, like the entire idea? Can you read a whole paragraph and understand the meaning of all the sentences in it? Using analogies is a way to present an example of what we are saying, so we use comparison to help illustrate those ideas. Koreans are way better mechanically, if you read our posts weve said that like 500 times (that called a hyperbole, it is an exaggeration used for the purpose of satire), and we are saying that that is the reason they beat us, but on the flip side that logic still applies to the foreigners now compared to the foreigners of yester-year, there mechanics are better therefore they are better.
