mensrea honestly I think boxer is just saying that to be diplomatic. if the worlds greatest player said that he was the best player in the world cause he was the most talented player in the world (which I think is probably true ;/ ) then he'd be regarded as cocky.. when he says practice is more important he makes it seem like he's a hard worker instead, and nobody will regard him as cocky cause of that. ^_^
Perhaps you're right, but that doesn't mean what he's saying isn't true. Ask any olympic athlete what brought them to the top. It's the hard work. Now, natural talent is what helps get you going fast, and often dictates where you level off in improvement (how good you could possibly get). Not everyone of us can be Boxer but you don't need to be Boxer to be gosu  . Talent, you can't control, but might as well do the best you can with what you can control .

practise is needed to develop the talent
noone on this forum could be better than Boxer not even if we played 20 hours a day

Especially because you'd probably die of sleep deprivation, or malnutrion, like that poor Korean guy in that cafe...

one player has proved you dont need physical activity to be good...
thats right, you all know who im talking about...
MUMYUNG!
hes a chubby boy =\

oh yes.
a big reason the best practice so hard is because it is neccessary to be able to find ways to win on your worst day.
everyone can win when they're well rested, healthy, got pussy the night before, got 3 more bitches aching for your cock, got super practice the week before, etc.
it's all about how you perform when you've had shit sleep, got the flu and have the runs and on top of that your bitch is shitting all over you 24/7 and on top of that you haven't been able to get any quality preparation in and now you're on national tv losing the game. can you find a way to win then?
boxer and grrrr are the 2 guys who have shown they can win whenever, wherever and comeback from almost anything in the game so long as they are not in-the-ground dead.
the fundamentals are what every player holds on to when the situation turns to shit. the more you practice, the stronger your fundamentals.

I disagree. I believe without a doubt that I can be as good as Lim Yo-whan. It's just that he's so many games of practice ahead of me. But if I were to suddenly get the privilidge of playing with gosu players non-stop, I believe I can get that good. I already have amazing keyboard skills. I can type almost 100 words per minute. My mouse skills are mediocre at best. What stops me from being good is that I don't have the experience it takes to beat someone as good as you Nazgul ^_^ ...

Typing at 100 wpm isnt that hard to be honest. Most people can do that with practice. Being able to use your left hand on the keyboard during a game, constantly, with hotkeys properly used for maximum multitasking ability, having it constantly pounding on keys of use, using it to monitor everything, and when you can use your left hand at a psychotic rate(not meaning to brag, but mine get up to and around chojjas, just only for short periods of time, such as long 1 minute battles while im multitasking) however, being able to do it for long periods of times, like for the entirety of the game, only some people can do.
Now that thats out of the way. How come if YOU can become as good as Lim Yo-Hwan, then why cant alot of the other pros cant. Theres obviously talent in that kid and you think you have that? Bullshit. Give boxer some credit. Hes got more than just practice in those games, hes got ingenius moves and psychotic maneuvers. Ya...your as good as boxer, thats a laugh.

Ha. No one will ever be as good as Boxer unless they believe they can be...

At one point I thought of trying serious practice to improve. But I started gettin carpel tunnel or something. My wrist would start to hurt really bad if I played for hours on end as hard as possible - too much key pounding. So, even if I wanted to, and had the resources to, the rest of my body was willing, my wrist could not put in 20 hours a day.
My eyes can stand the hours of replay watching with no prolem though.

That's a bummer. I once had a dream to be on the basketball team. I had missed years of not playing on the team and I hoped I could make the team. But I never could, even though I had some potential, no one ever helped me tap into it and because it was too late, I just gave up. I tried out twice. I just wasn't on the skill level that everyone else was on even though I very much could be if I had practiced all these years. So, I believe that practice has a whole lot ot do with your ability to play over time.
