Oversimplification, in my opinion. I believe that one's self perception is a function of social interactions.
Perfect. Plays low-econ, high-econ, plays orthodox, plays funky, plays Mozart, plays Run-DMC. Micro, macro, strategy, management, fundamentals, and balls the size of Brazil. He plays Zerg the way the Xel Naga intended - like a ball of mercury. -HonestTea

I heard this saying once

"Stupid people are those people who are stupid and dont know it; or smart and don't know it

Smart people are those people who are stupid and know it; or smart and know it"

I would say that this pretty much covers the gist of posted article.

I would also like to say that I LOVE reading things like this. And it's no surprise that, amongst starcraft players, we have so many intelligent people ready to share such a wide and interesting amount of information.

Honestly, these kinds of posts are the ONE and only reason I still come to tl and still play starcraft. Props to the BW community and TL.net.
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

For some reason, this study reminded me of this article, even though they aren't that similar.

To do a thing, play a game, overestimate yourself and underestimate yourself doesn't really matter. What does matter is what ever you estimate, it brings out the best in you.
So for instance, if you are cocky and goes 4 pool, your chance of winning is actually quite good if you have some sense of micro. However, if you underestimate yourself and play too scared, your chance of winning is quite bad.
However, overestimate does inpediment your improvement. For you are the king of 4 pool, why should you learn any new strats? You limit your growth because you overestimate your knowledge, and deem yourself that there isn't any more knowledge to learn from.
Underestimate, however, may help you improve. For you see the flaws even in your most confident manuvers. You see the field of knowledge so vast, so with some practice you may attain those additional knowledge and become a better player.

Still, correct estimate's best. No more no less, just what it is and you can put this into your calculations with a small error margin.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

People say I have godly micro, but I highly, highly disagree with what they say to avoid getting overestimated and building up a false sense of pride out of thin air. I play better thinking im worse than my opponent(even when they're not), it calms me and gives me that "I have nothing to lose" attitude.

O yeah, people who go on talking thinking their funny when they're not. Pisses me off.

Man, this also reminds me of nIgol, blackdawn, and a whole bunch of east fags. Ugh.


Nice, people think you have godly micro!

yeah theres a saying I think,

The more one learns the more one learns they know nothing. or something like that. The less a person knows the more confident they are that they aren't ignorant because they haven't even learned that other things even exist. A great example is people in the middle ages who thought they were the bomb and that they kew everything when even they stuff they "knew" was in fact wrong or at least we beleive it to be... ie: the world isn't flat mideval nubs.

On the other hand it is nice to know enough or have a certain skill in something at the level that you know you are bad. Since people that are clueless in the area get really impressed.

Also it takes more skill to pose as bad than to pose as good. Well in alot of cases atleast. Thinking in the line of: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=8733

come to think of it, this is the same idea in martial arts

when you're first starting, you think you're really good. your instructors always encourage you, etc. so by the time you're almost a black belt (ie brown or red belt), you think you are REALLY GOOD.

but then you get your black belt, and your instructor has a talk with you, and he says something along the lines of "those 3-4 years of color belt training was to get your prepared to start actaully learning taekwondo. now that you have your black belt you can finally start. ready to learn taekwondo?"

ah yes, i remember that speech... lol

this applies to self verified situations. if you had say a 1-249 record wiht the 1 being against a guy who suddenly had a heart attack then there isn't much you can say to make yourself look good.
