This is the "Goldeneye Effect"
Anyone who has ever played that old 64 game thinks they are the best in the world at it

I'd have to agree with this article.

To use Brood War as an example, I have a friend who played BW and thought he was amazing. He always told me about how he'd never have any competition, and so I played him one day and he was terrible. He realized that he hadn't seen how good you could actually be.

Edit - Not to say I'm really good or anything, just far better than he was.


Haha same situation here - I played a guy who was supposedly "pro-caliber" and we bet over 100 USD on a BO3. He turned out to be a 50 APM noob. The games were (how should I say) uhh, illuminating.

i think its somewhat true. a lot of the times, those that are truly the best at something tend to not be braggers because they know it.

I don't know who exactly you're talking about, but remember that it's not arrogance if you can do it.

...except maybe if you have to brag about it 24/7.
This is my truth, tell me yours!

This is very true indeed. And it can cause silly problems. I've been taking latin dancing lessons for over a year now, I became quite good and all the girls really like to dance with me preferably.

Yet, all I can think about is how many mistakes I am doing, how terrible my leading is, and I am always worried, that the girls are bored with what I do. I asked my teacher if I can ever by satisfied with my dancing, and she replied: No, nobody will ever be.

That's exactly his point. You can beat your friends. So what? Most people who claim to be "the best" beat their friends.

Agree - this is why you will get so much shitty advice in most strat forums (less so here, thankfully) by people convinced they're right, and willing to argue with everyone else for ten pages about the fact they are, and the only way to figure out who actually knows what the fuck they're doing is for people who disagree to play each other, except they never do for whatever reason. So I just wait for midian (or incontrol or daze or etc; <3 for the zerg/terran guides) to post ;D

I think arrogance is different than this, actually, although it probably appears the same.. people who are really good players can also be really arrogant, and people can humbly say they think they're pretty good at something when they're horribly bad at it. I guess it's just better not to be arrogant regardless of skill, although this + arrogance is pretty killer..
what the hell do you mean gg, I'm being murdered here

I played in a college starcraft tournamen and nobody there but me was better than a terrible LT pug. Compare me to the top players in BW and I can't hang.
