I'm not talking about your attitude, I'm talking about your reasoning. Where do your posts about his play come from? White-Ra winning with just a single lose isn't less significant only because someone else played random and did good at it without all ins in every single game. We couldn't choose what games we wanted to watch, we saw more games played by TLO so it's kind natural White-Ra got less attention? | ||

I respect InControl because he has some serious accomplishments under his belt in the RTS world. The rest of you can shut the hell up because you don't know what you're talking about at all. I think Nazgul has some serious accomplishments under his belt as well. Oh well, I generally understand the point you are trying to make, but throughout the tournament, I wasn't particularly under the impression of TLO having prepared a cheese for every MU and pushing through with it; he rather seemed to be playing by intuition and experience, getting every possible advantage instead of sticking to "solid builds", which are generalized by nature, and I think nothing's a better proof here than his game against Nazgul on Metalopolis. If not for that game, your point might be valid. On March 28 2010 06:32 Slacker wrote: Is this the same guy, who played supreme commander back in the day ?

I'm on his side in that he's presenting an acceptable, not-banworthy argument that warrants discussion. I don't agree with him. | ||

It just seems out of line to come into the TLO fanclub thread to flame him and other players here, and then try and tell everyone how bad they are. Discussion is fine but flaming and attacking other people is not. | ||

On a serious note, you really have to play in tournaments and not just ladder to understand the true psychological AND real advantages of going random. | ||

You will need a software like WinRar or 7-zip to extract individual files and then you can watch them. | ||

2. Comes from "lesser" game 3. Unorthodox strategies and build orders 4. Aggressive tactics and harassment 5. Ballsy (if dangerous, irrational, etc.) decisions Like Nony said in the other thread: Clearly he's not the best overall player and he made a few bad calls, but he's the most fun to watch for many of us. Why are you asking us to justify anything beyond that? This concept should be painfully obvious, especially during March Madness. | ||

He always was in A-/B+ area on iCC but always dropped down to B+ in the end of the season. But skillwise he was A- for sure imo. | ||

Yes, it is. http://www.readmore.de/index.php?cont=gallery_images&id=4614&set=61&orderby=date&ordertype=desc The advantage of random applies even if you play safe; one might argue it is even more pronounced in this case. The random player plays solid macro game, knowing his opponents race, and the other guy attempts to do the same but naturally MUST invest a bit more into scouting and preparation for the myriad of possibilities that accompany playing random. The random player knows his gameplan and can invest all his resources into executing it, while the other guy is playing in the dark and must prepare for the worst. What don't you guys understand about this? What do you diagree on? Are you saying that there is no advantage to random? I don't play with a maphack, sorry. When I play against a random player I have no idea what race he is until I get a scout into his base. | ||

On a serious note, you really have to play in tournaments and not just ladder to understand the true psychological AND real advantages of going random. When you play Random and don't just all in it's as hard for someone else to know what to expect as for you to immediately choose what to do, you need to be good at using strats of all 3 races in 6 match ups and once you count playing from the both sides it becomes 9. When you practice just a single race it's just 3. Your whole argument would be valid if majority of his games were all ins but the ones we saw weren't? | ||
