hi you never lose? i'm impressed, go to lans and dominate!
|
Would be nice if there was some more content: Link to ladder rank, points, etc. I know it's not important but it'd be nice.
|
I'm on the Grandmaster ladder, but I'll fix that asap, thanks!
|
Looked at a few of those replays, very very well done.
I enjoyed it while learning some things =)
|
Awesome, yeah I tried to post replays with some entertainment value, while still having some good lessons!

Kind of misleading to start your id off with Liquid,

Yeah I don't mean it to be, it's just a friendly/fun name I've had sense I started playing

I think it would be silly to assume that because this website uses liquid as their clantag, that no one else would be allowed to use it in their ID. Thanks for the replay pack~

we played 2 games and you rushed 4 medivacs and "a" moved to win
O_O
|
@iNcontroL We actually played 4 games, first game lasted 25minutes + and I won, second you 3gate VR'd and I won, and the other 2 were more recent where you wern't prepared for an early attack that I use to lead into my third. And idk about a click I thought my micro was okay . I wouldn't have posted them but you didn't. <3
|
Feel blessed inc, he memorized his games vs you
|
@Fallen33 Yeah I did, those were big games for me . I actually went onto his stream history to see if he said anything, and he said I blind countered him by 1rax FEing and waiting until he had a robotics bay to get vikings. Idk I was annoyed but I couldn't expect him to be ecstatic I guess.
|
so you had the stream on while playing him? so you didn't blind counter him then.

Thanks, always good to get top level terran replays.

@Andrewwiggin- For sure happy to help! And I understand where they're coming from, IdrA And Sheth did a great job holding off my banshee play but as you might expect after a loss saving a replay isn't the first thing on my mind .

i love it to see Terrans surpassing obvious PvT imbalance :D.
Thanks for the pack ;D

Because he's weird. Does he expect people he's 4 gated or proxied etc. to come into his thread and do the same? 'We played twice and you 4 gate me O_O.' Wtf is the point? I'm sure he's just 'joking' and he will refer to this thread and laugh at all of us on the next SOTG.
GL with your playing Leet, I dont like Terran (scum) so I probably won't download.

I assume you are referring to the desrow thing?
So what, two times? The reason I posted anything in here is they were 8 minute games... in my rep pack there are almost no games below 20 minutes and certainly none of me doing a timing and winning...
Not sure why you always take jabs at me. If I had some epic game with him it'd be understandable...
|
Well they were 8 minute games because they weren't close, and as Day9 says quick and decisive games are some of the best learning opportunities, which is why I posted this.
|
^
I'm pretty sure all his games end in 8 minutes. Each time I've run into him its been some type of cheesy all-in. Ya... I wouldn't waste my time with this guy if I were you inc 
None the less, gl to you liquidwater!

Its fun to see liquidwater cheeses when he bms others for doing so.
Nice.

2-Base colossus all-inned this kid and he got mad, stating he was top 5 in NA and deserved better. I like his fake nice attitude on here though, real go-getter. I'm sure others who have faced him on ladder can confirm.

Actually I beat you, that'd be an important thing to add. But yeah I've gotten mad on ladder before, but I'm trying to be polite to the community that I want to be a part of!

Should've just made this a blog. Who are we kidding, you didn't post this to teach people how to play SC2.

If you consider that a jab you must be pretty sensitive, i'm just pointing out theres no need to defend yourself every time someone posts a replay of you losing, its not a personal shot at you the guy is obviously happy he beat you, no need to derail his thread. And just because you posted a replay pack with 20+ minute games doesn't mean people don't want replays of shorter games to see those scenarios too.
If you can chill, chill.

I like these comments from top 50 NA players, making me LOL. Glad to see people lose to timing pushes at all levels.
I practice with LiquidWater and he rarely timing pushes which is weiiiird given these comments.

A.) I don't think "Who are we kidding" is vaild here B.) I did take the time to post this so people could see some strats for the Terran race, I think the more builds we get out there the more people can be prepared and experienced in a variaty of play-styles; whether people learn from them and try to defend/pratice them, or just enjoy some fun sc2 replays I hope it has a positive effect on the TL community.

Who knew that releasing a grandmaster level replay pack would cause so much drama. Enjoy the games, whether it be for entertainment or learning purposes, I certainly did.

Lol incontrol... mad when others post replays of him getting beat in supposedly "unskilled" fashions, yet puts under his belt the games he won vs. ensnare largely due to KR latency.
Sounds rational to me.

I'm glad Leet posted the games who cares if it's biased coz he didnt post any reps of him losing, or posted some debatable cheeses all ins or timing attacks.....
I was entertained the whole time please post MOAR

lol i seriously dont understand why people are getting angry over a guy posting a replay pack of himself

Instead of telling him why he is wrong, tell him ways he can improve like reading comprehension. I saw nothing of that sort in what you wrote

No one is taking jabs at you...play to win 8 minutes or 20+, doesn't particularly matter at the end of the match when you tap out

Not sure what you think the definition of jab is.. I wasn't saying it hurt me or w/e just saying it was a jab you were taking.
A. "everytime" I've done this twice. And both times were because the reps in question were merely to announce beating me.. not actual gg's. B. I didn't post 20 minute games to disprove people wanting to see 9 min games.. no idea how you associated that.

2 times, compared to everyone else who have never complained when people post replays of them losing. Why does your opinion matter on which games he should post in his replay pack? And saying "the only games i posted in my replay pack were 20+ minutes" is hinting that you think short games werent worth posting because they aren't ggs? No offence but you're really too stubborn and arrogant to argue with about anything.

I believe I watched 2 or 3 of the games where incontrol lost to liquidwater... he even was commenting that he knew what was coming and still failed to hold it (if i'm remembering correctly). It sure didn't look all-inish but I haven't watched the replays in this pack.
I think he mentioned it was a blind counter to his 3 gate expand. Either way, I think it's important for terrans to see because of that. Punish your opponent for a weakness.

I gotta say I do agree with you that it isn't necessary that he comment in this thread in the first place to say the games weren't even that good... obviously the guy was proud to beat a great player... and I was going to actually say that I agree with you, but then I finished reading the thread and realized you're pushing your opinion way too far.
You said he shouldn't get defensive about the replay being posted and that LiquidWater/Leet was simply happy to beat iNc, but you should have left it at that. Calling him stubborn and arrogant doesn't help.
In other words... no one should get worked up over this, and avoiding personal insults such as calling someone stubborn and arrogant is a good place to start.

i think everyone is entitled to their own opinions, liquidwater thought the games were good, incontrol though they werent, end of story. stop bashing/praising one or the other and move past it, everyone drops a game or two and no one likes losing, who gives a hoot?

Why apologize? Was a good discussion. Better than 20 posts of a 'cool, thanks dude!' before the thread got buried. Now more people will want to DL the reps. You actually did him a favor.

Incontrol is fine, he just doesn't like the idea of posting a replay pack with games that don't show much or anything to learn from. why so many people so critical of incontrol he's doing the best he can.

Why are people so ungrateful
Water posted a replay pack, and his style of play is all-inning people and timing pushes, which obviously works since hes in the top 200. If you're playing in a tournament its always good to have an all-in or two up your sleeve to fuck with your opponent.
He called out Incontrol by putting his name in bold underlined letters! which suggests that the games were long and epic, and incontrol said that they were short timing attacks, then blur started arguing with him and everything exploded.
Chill out and enjoy the replays

Awesome dude, thanks for the pack need to work on my terran, saw you on ret/idra's stream a few times :>
too bad incontrol decided to derail the thread since he feels the need to defend himself when someone posts a rep of him losing (even though he does the same thing)

It wasn't because he lost the game, it was because the games which he lost was only 9 minutes and wasn't a very good game...
The logic follows that LiquidWater first priority wasn't to post good games, just games where he beats famous people. EDIT: That's why iNcontrol was mad.

My first priority was to post interesting games for either entertainment, or learning value. I accomplished this by posting games that A.) Would be interesting because of the participants, and B.) by posting games where I did a specific strat and it succeeded, so people could either learn from the build at a terrans perspective, or how to defend them.

Is there any games people would recommend? all i found were SCV allins and other weird timings. It's definitely amusing but i was hoping to find longer games

Water posted a replay pack, and his style of play is all-inning people and timing pushes, which obviously works since hes in the top 200. If you're playing in a tournament its always good to have an all-in or two up your sleeve to fuck with your opponent.
He called out Incontrol by putting his name in bold underlined letters! which suggests that the games were long and epic, and incontrol said that they were short timing attacks, then blur started arguing with him and everything exploded.
Chill out and enjoy the replays
I actually bolded and underlined them as a joke after he gave me a hard time, not before he posted, but after.

I also vs'd this guy in a CW. He all'in'd me as well lols. Well on topic in the replay pack is there any replays of you losing as you allin? Would be interested to see some games where you lose so I can analyze what the zerg did correctly, because terran all-ins are a bit sketchy for me right now.

However, there's a flaw there. GSL, NASL and IPL all have big names, they don't produce entertaining games or interesting just because of the names. See IdrA vs fenix in IPL for example or check the polls of all the recent days of the GSL and see if all have a resounding "yes" in the recommended games option. No offense, but some of the replays there just remind many of TSL_Rains and Bitbybitprime.WE, and well, you tell me if they are the most entertaining players in an overall community consensus. I'm sorry but more than half of the games weren't interesting, at all.
But you sounding so convinced that those games were entertaining and the fact you didn't think of a fourth option in the poll like "None seemed that good, interesting or w/e" reinforces that belief, which lead people like Incontrol and some others to a seemingly accurate perception you did this just to brag about beating some of the names we see in the aforeimented leagues.
I agree terrans may benefit from these somewhat refined build orders and strategies, but for any mid diamond and lower player it'll still come down to what both Artosis and Day[9] have already said plenty of times, you either overreact to an all-in or you lose. The refinement of the timings is something you don't see in neither player at this level, not very often at least.
I would re-check that "accomplished" if I were you, y'know, just so you don't come off as a dick who thinks his games are entertaining per se and not because the community gives you that answer.

A good portion of these players have fans, and I enjoy watching games of my "Heroes" to see how they react to certain situations, whether they're interesting or not to every person in the world is irrelevant.

oh and thanks for the relays , I'm toss so ill be trying to pick them apart for good timing windows

lol almost all of the replays are below 15 minutes. But nonetheless I learned a few things about some of the build you've done. The one with ROOTCatz was pretty funny. I'm gonna take the your 2 port banshee build but I'll make it less all innish thanks!

I think its crazy how harsh this thread has been. Even if he posted the replays just to get his name out there its not like that's so terrible. He didn't come here talking a bunch of shit, it's just a replay pack with notable players.

Thanks for uploading some replays.

I can attest to how good his TvZ all-ins are, I don't think I've taken a single game off of them, and I certainly don't look forward to all of the other Ts in ladder taking the 2port build and using it against me.. Anyhow, pretty nice rep pack, glad to see I'm not in the list, and personally I think the short games are better than 20+ min games just because you get to see the build being executed perfectly rather than having to adapt to the situation. Like the recent Haypro pack had a good mix of long and short games as well. I wish there was a way to not show names in replays so that no one has to have the "shame" of losing when people post things like that, because I understand how Incontrol feels but I also recognize the contribution these replays give to the community of T players. It's a double edged sword t.t, maybe asking permission would be a more reasonable alternative to not posting at all.
|
Everyone knows it sucks to lose, but do you think Jaedong is like, "Oh no, they are going to show me losing!" when he's playing for thousands to see?
Losing is a fact of the game, and the fact that the main faces in the foreign scene are always so butthurt about losing (inc, art, idra) is really sad. You'd think after 11 years these kids would have learned to man up.
I'm sure team coaches forbid their players from whining/getting into arguments on forums. There's no post game interview where the losing player is like, "he only beat me because he used cheesy allins. i'm actually the better player that deserved to win". The only result of such arguments is a poor perception of the complainer. There's nothing to be gained.
|
congrats on your recent success but i do not enjoy watching your style of play...i hope from these replays we can better learn how to recognize and stop all-ins
|
I've played vs liquid a number of times, although some might consider him cheesy. I think TvZ requires a level of unorthodox play, considering against a regular 2 base terran will allow me to get to 80 drones in 11 minutes where as vs liquid he'll keep me guessing cause I know hes a bastard.
Incontrol defending himself is laughable being that the 4 games I've played against him have been cannons and 4gates. Keep on trucking Geoff

"they dont stack up to my high standard of play so im going to shit on this guy because im butthurt that he beat me" is what i heard. Meh thats pretty hypocritical of him though considering alot of the games ive seen him play have been very cheesy especially in tournaments, i think cannon rushing or "hoping" a pylon in someones base doesnt get found is far less calculated and more luck based then someone doing a nice early well executed timing. Way to go geoff you really showed this guy!

I can't believe you people.
It's a free top tier (ladder-wise at least) replay pack, just take it and be thankful. Or don't take it and still be thankful because it's free stuff you can't normally get (if you're not a top player in your region), and it's a lot better having threads that contribute in some way than another "Latest GSL statistics - is PvZ really balanced?" or "I'm still too scared to ladder" bullshit filler threads.
As for posting only replays of games he won, he's hardly the first person to do that, and won't be the last either. You're not really going to post games in which you played shit or played tired or drunk in a TL replay pack, OF COURSE you want to present yourself in the best possible way playing the best games you can.
|
Thanks for the replays . And yeah, if you only need 8-12mins to win then you should do that, and personally i find shorter games much more valuable to learn from, seeing as in the longer 20+min games it's really more about mechanics and such, rather than a strategy which i can copy. If that makes sense
|
Think i've played this guy afew times, but he played solid. Not buying the cheesy accusations. I dont recall any scv-allins from him which almost every terran seems to do these days.
Good player.

INCONTROL,
put yourself in his shoes. He's an still unknown player, with obvious aspirations of going pro or whatever.
He just beat fucking EG.iNcontrol and is probably pretty ecstatic about just being able to play with the big boys, and taking a win, even if it's not after an epic macro fest, is pretty huge. He is happy (and should be), and we should allow him to enjoy it and preferably be happy with him.

If you've never beaten a pro, then you can't know what it feels like, but you can use your imagination.
If you're beating them consistently, remember how it first felt to beat one.

I can attest to how fun it is to beat someone famous. I nearly beat Grubby once back in WC3, and it's still the highlight of my career as a player. ^_^

Thanks for the games, LW- I'll have to check 'em out! Sorry to see so much animosity, here- for some reason people feel the need to dump all over this thread. If we're going to call ourselves a community, that's not quite how we build it. Anybody here ever attend kindergarten?

My my liquidwater , you sure have a nice thread going here, I am very impressed haha, anyways I just wanted to say liquid was part of 1nsanity and I had the pleasure of being his manager and watching him grow. Yeah he might have some all in strats but he does know how to play a macro game if he needs to. After the merger to VP We have went our own ways but I will always be his friend because he is a great player and he has always been a nice guy to me. Anyways I hope a great team will pick him up and also hope does very well in Starcraft2, he deserves it and also I did love the replays, I already used the 2 starport play, might have to use a few more now . Good luck to you Water and don’t forget me when you become famous on Sc2!!! Haha J *

incontrol why do you always get defensive when people post replays of you losing to them, but you just posted a replay pack yourself? I assume you are referring to the desrow thing? So what, two times? The reason I posted anything in here is they were 8 minute games... in my rep pack there are almost no games below 20 minutes and certainly none of me doing a timing and winning... Not sure why you always take jabs at me. If I had some epic game with him it'd be understandable...
I agree with incontrol here 100%... it's the most annoying thing in the world when players post replay packs "I beat these famous players!" but they're quick rush games that don't actually demonstrate excellent play... maybe a build-order loss, or just a mistake, which doesn't teach anyone anything.

I have absolutely no clue why you think that "free" means "you can't be critical". That's absurd... criticism exists as a means of improving the quality of things we have access to. It's not something you purchase the "right" to do with money. Stop being silly.

Oh give me a break. It's so cowardly to take potshots like this at someone just because you know they won't strike back. Just because someone is a "public figure" doesn't mean you have the right to nitpick and patronize them over everything. Let me guess, next they should stop swearing on SOTG because they're all adults and public figures? Go away.

Be proud of your results, no matter what. Hell, I still have this replay from beta when I beat TLO in a Tron Cars (stupid custom map). Although it means nothing, its still a feat that I'm proud about.

NO!
no these posts are whats making TL such a joke now. this is obviously a showoff thread with no educational or even interesting content. Pro players rarely have a win rate of more than 60% or higher. Does that mean that 40% of the 1000 people they've played should go post a replay pack with shitty 7 minute games of them winning?
"Liquid" Water or blur or leet or whatever the hell his name is just shouts attention whore and immature child. His tl name is fucking 'leet'. I just hate the way he responded to incontrol and i dont see what this thread is doing in TLs SCII section.
This belongs in the blog section or his facebook page some shit.

Wow, do you go into every replay thread and say this? He is a decent player and wanted to show his replays to us so that some terrans might learn from him. Give him a break and stop being a dick.

I just read the OP again maybe you should to. Title says replay pack which it clearly includes also in the OP is:
Hey I am a top 20Terran player on the NA server, I've been saving some of the games I've played that are against well known players, or just fun in general, enjoy!
Also in the OP is:
Thank's for all the support and enjoy the games! On a sexy note I do provide lessons for my Terran friends for twenty dollars and hour, feel free to pm me for more details.
Why no one can't see him mentioning the names in his replay pack as adding a sort of credibility to his thread is beyond me. You know like a reference for a guy selling a book saying that he is a New York Times bestselling author or something. Instead people are looking at it completely negative and being defensive of the players he beat in those replays when it clearly states games against top players or fun in general. It didnt say anything about this is my style you should learn it. He posted exactly what he advertised in his OP games against top players. His OP didnt say OMG I beat the ROFL.
Maybe he doesnt have pro experience and these replays are a way of him getting his name out there a little bit whats the harm in that. I mean everyone in grandmasters plays each other you don't think they beat each other? I think some of the side hostility is coming from his name too. Its not his name on the forums so what does it matter if he used that on B.Net. Im sure if we could have custom avatars on TL people would have all kinds of pictures of blue horse heads running all over the place.

I know right? I'm protoss and I hate getting hit with early rushes but I didn't come in here and start destroying everything. He had some good games in there and he is a decent player. Give him props and DL his reps or just don't post. Pretty simple.

While this thread is truly a shameful display of petty bickering, it has alerted to me to a serious issue in the SC2 community.
We need to agree upon a set standard to determine whether or not an honorable victory was achieved in a given game of Starcraft 2. I propose that a game that ends with a unit blob with a circumference of no less than 100 pixels to be the minimum standard for a legitimate win and thereby allowable for inclusion into replay packs, bragging rights, namedropping on coaching resumes, and what have you..

incontrol why do you always get defensive when people post replays of you losing to them, but you just posted a replay pack yourself?
I agree 100% rofl@incontrol seriously idk why you care that he posted games of you losing no matter how "good" or "bad" the games were... Who cares.. .Seriously.. Everyone loses.. Do you see anyone else bitching about the games that were posted against them?

On a related note. Thank you for putting up your replays OP.

Nice Reps.
I like that you put in a variety of game types. Day 9 even said there is a ton to be learned from short games. InControl may be a little butthurt, but learning strong timings is a great thing for players that are trying to expand their Terran build repertoire. Everybody loses some games and incontrol needs to not worry about some of his losses getting out. It's not like anybody is thinking, "oh shit, liquidwater beat InControl, Incontrol is complete buttshit, we hate him now." It is the opposite, we know how good the guy is, so it adds validity to the techniques you used that took games off him. I didn't see any of the other players complaining about the games you posted.
Thanks again man! =DDDDD

No worries and I'm glad you can view this in such a positive manor, keep up being awesome Sir Hood!

Lol, anyone who actually thinks incontrol is "butthurt" over this has some ridiculously thin skin.

OP is playing vs Idra on Idra's stream right now..
edit: he did scv all in =/ lol Idra barely holds it

Obviously he's not "butthurt", people are just irritated at his immaturity.
Good all-ins, bud. I'm watching you play IdrA on his stream right now.
+ Show Spoiler +I hope he smashes you, Terran scum! =P
EDIT AFTER GAME:
+ Show Spoiler +You all-inned the shit out of him and lost, Terran scum!
|
Lol you guys are right, hes doing scv marine hellion banshee all in on stream right now.
|
|
he just marined banshee scv'd allin against idra, not a good thing if you're trying to promote yourself.

Oh damn, round 2.
"Leet", I don't suppose you'll be posting the replays of IdrA holding your all-ins, will you? I thought they were pretty good games and learning experiences.
|
Even though you cheesed IdrA and lost, still entertaining. Nice job man!
|
lol im sure alot of ppl saw him fail all-in vs idra.
no sympathy for you "leet"
|
He's playing vs IdrA right now, on IdrA's stream. =)
|
haha, " you do this same dumbass cheese every game? "
"pretty much yeah"
|
bit by bitting like a pro
|
Lmfao, IdrA holding his all-in again the exact same way.
He probably doesn't realize this is being streamed to everybody. Not good for the street cred.
|
I agree with iNcontroL here, wasn't sure if i should say something or not cause it may sound whiny but I will now, Water is a low-caliber-all-in-only player, HOWEVER master yoda would say:
At all ins, very good you are, young padawan.
(i haven't seen the replay pack i noticed there's replays of me, so hopefully for each one of me losing there's a bunch of me winning, just to be fair to the real ratio)
:D ok im bm =).
|
Hahahaha, IdrA completely schooled this guy doing the same build over and over.
|
haha IdrA eating up all the cheese OP throws at him on stream right now.
"you do this same dumbass cheese every game?" "pretty much yea"
lol and idra holds
|
CatZ don't be hating. We need people like him... so we can point our fingers at him... and say... he's the bad guy.

haha youre right. he played idra today 2 times on stream. both games hellions into 2 banshee scv train marine allin :D
|
Just watched this guy cheese IdrA on stream and fail twice. What a great player.
|
Heh, free wins for idra.
I like Water though, he admits to it and is still polite.
|
He keeps trying the same all-in over and over versus Idra :O His playstyle matches his personality perfectly though ^^
|
Oh sweet I have been trying to improve my cheese lately.
This is just perfect! Thanks ^^
|
Haha, looks like I know em' when I see em'. Good to see this low-caliber-all-inner isn't getting the positive reaction he was seeking. Justice prevails.
|
What are the odds of me reading through this thread and then clicking on Idra's stream, only to find him PLAYING AGAINST LIQUIDWATER. This guy is a cheese master and deserves not even a golf clap.
This is how the game went:
2 Rax Marine+scv timing attack, Idra holds it off Idra: "You do this same dumbass cheese every game?" LiquidWater: "Pretty much yeah" Next comes two banshee, Idra holds with 3 queen ALL IN Hellion+every scv+marine+banshee, Idra holds with mutas+drone+queen transfuse LiquidWater: "gg wp"
This kid is a joke.
P.S. LiquidWater tried this twice in a row, same result.
|
Would you go straight up vs IdrA? Maybe just so he could show me holes in my play
|
Do the Idra fanboys really need to come in and act like idiots? You already do it in every other thread on this board.
This guy is obviously nice and enjoying the way he plays the game, cheese/all-in's are part of Starcraft 2 so get over it.

It's a free top tier (ladder-wise at least) replay pack, just take it and be thankful.

As for posting only replays of games he won, he's hardly the first person to do that, and won't be the last either. You're not really going to post games in which you played shit or played tired or drunk in a TL replay pack, OF COURSE you want to present yourself in the best possible way playing the best games you can.
Pretty much this, people need to just chill and take it or leave it.
Constructive criticism couldn't hurt the guy, but there's no need for hate.

first he goes two rax with marine aggression. then he goes factory to get some hellions and then starport immediately to mass banshees. then he pulls every scv he has and tries to break the ramp with marines, banshees, hellions, and scv.
This is what IdrA said to him: Do you do this dumbass cheese every game?
WaterLiquid: Pretty much yeah.
|
He may cheese quite a bit, but at least he's mannered about it.
|
That marine pressure into banshee/helion/marine SCV all in would be like impossible for everyone but idra to stop Although it is cheesey I give props.

It looks hard to stop because IdrA doesn't get banelings vs all those marine/scv.
|
He is very allinish but I can guarante 95% zergs here would die from those sick marine/hellion/banshee/scv allins lol
|
Why is everyone being so rude? So this guy "all-in'd" IdrA. Who cares? Cheese or not, he left the game with manner and is top 50 in the GM league. Better than most of you will ever be.
|
High level players need to be tested vs every strategy. Clearly Idra has a lot of experience with "dumbass allins" and was able to crush it easily. Lots of other top tier players probably fail when the allin hits, and the only way they're ever going to learn how to beat it is by actually playing against it.
Do I think this guy deserves to be called a high level player? Of course not. Tournament results are the only thing that matters to the top level players, and until he proves himself in a tournament he'll continue to be a nobody, no matter what his ladder rank is.
|
OP... Thank you for the replays!!! I HATE losing to cheesy builds like yours and by posting them you are teaching me how to recognize and respond to them effectively.
Haters gonna hate, trolls gonna feed. @everyone: Learn what you can from the replays...don't be a troll
|
I don't like this guy because, to me, cheese is the equivalent of steroids. You get wins without putting in real work to the game and the "skill" as all artificial. I feel the same way about this guy as I do about Barry Bonds.

now now son, your asking why ppl are being rude, when being rude yourself.. i dont get it

So I guess it is only "play to win" when MC does it.
I personally think constantly all-inning at that level is pointless because you are basically throwing away free practice games against top players that could really help you improve, but posting here to insult the guy for the way he plays is not only pointless, it's sad.
If you're already watching IdrA's stream, focus on learning how to play from him instead of learning how to trash talk people on the internets. It's much more useful in the long run.

"He isn't the first person to do that" is a fallacy, and really has no bearing on whether or not you should do it. No1 is saying post drunk replays, but you can still lose games when you play at your best. I get really annoyed with any1 who tries to do this, to me it just screams arrogance when 100% of the replays you post are you winning.
I mean he posts two replays of all inning incontrol saying that its useful to upload boring games because they can teach you about the build and w.e. Isn't watching the build fail just as useful to determine its weak points and look for improvements? On top of that this guy's really fucking cheesy. He all ins and takes his wins yes, but if you actually look at the games hes hardly a top tier player.

Lol come on that's just willingly being ignortant. You're implying no1 has a problem with MC cheesing ever? Did you not see the shitstorm he got after Dreamhack? Plus there's a difference between cheesing because money is on the line and cheesing like 70% of the time on ladder >_>

You can't compare ladder to tournament play, and even so, he doesn't do it every game. I can't say the same about water, but from what I'm seeing here from the people who have actually played against him it is a recurring theme.
You have also covered that basis with saying constantly doing all-ins at that level is pointless, so I won't even discuss that.

we need people like liquidwater to be playing against good players making sure the corners they cut, is legit we all should refine our "so-called-solid" builds against any kind of rushes, timings, etc. and it's people like liquidwater to contribute their part to the community there is nothing wrong exploiting the rushes and timing attacks... the more, the sooner blizzard/players will adjust... so... MOAR MOAR MOAR!! where are the zerg/protoss rushers? where?? i wanna see more!!
