Because you seem to think just because you have the highest stats in pvt that means you are a B level player in that matchup when all you've ever done was just make C+. I'm not saying you suck I just think you are over inflating your skill. If you are B level pvt and I beat you tvp does that mean I'm B+ terran? What if I rape you then am I A? According to your math I guess it does. Prodigy-X17 on east if you want to test this out.

I don't get why everyone cares about how deeply skilled a commentator is supposed to be. I wouldn't care if tasteless only played fastest maps. I just like him. he's funny. and anyone that knows starcraft a bit can get by I think, if you have the voice and the personality. which not many do.

People are saying that without tasteless being good at starcraft, or any other commentator being good at starcraft, they can never bee a great commentator. Many people think that you need to be able to be good at the game to truly understand it at a deeper level and be a good commentator.

...

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that this thread has turned to ego rubbing, new member bashing, and retarded APM arguments.

Xeris is a solid player. I wouldn't be surprised if his PvT was B. ICC is full of Protoss players, unless you have good PvP you can't gain ranks. Of course there's an easy way of testing this. He just has to make an account and only play PvT, see how high he gets. Although a variety of maps and builds would help too because it's easy to become good at just one build on one map.

That's how the Koreans do it. Playing one map and same builds makes winning a lot easier.

Yeah but I don't think that should count for your skill level if you follow.
You can have a player who is B in any matchup, any map, any playstyle losing to a much worse player who is playing a specific practiced build that they know inside out. When I say a player is B rank I mean B rank playing casually. I think a player who can get B rank casually can easily beat a player who can get A rank casually if he practices a specific build. That doesn't make him A rank.
In the foreigner scene where we don't practice maps and builds intensively I think it's the quality of your casual everyday game that decides your skill level.

whats up with the moderation here? stop abusing the mod power. while changing the thread title to somethg retarded like this u encourage others to derail this thread even more with stupid apm discussion and bragging and stuff.

i mean, its not even funny and some pretty good posts by tasteless and others have been made.
dont strive for gg,net forum quality, esp. with all those new guys around try to set a good example of what good moderation is about.

I bet it was Chill, trolling as usual. Judging by his response down below, I'm almost sure
