Is Daniel Lee a strategic genius by virtue of being a coach?


not necessarily, but it follows that someone who is a coach might know something or two about strategy and tactics no?

Regardless, it's one small point. My argument is you'll probably see older players doing better at SC2. You guys are welcome to disagree, I'm not going to say anything more about it.

Tester's play reminds me of something that Day9 emphasized a lot as of late: that great mechanics allow you to do things that you would otherwise not dream of doing. Tester was clearly in trouble in Game 3 when he two-gated into fast roaches (and in fact, fast roaches is part of the reason two-gate fell out of favor in the "received wisdom" of PvZ), but he was able to transition successfully into a win despite having the weaker build, simply by virtue of his mechanics being so strong.

Like Day9 said, oftentimes it's not the build that's the problem, it's the little things that you do or fail to do with it that counts.

2 gate isnt weak vs roaches, stalkers hard counter them early on in low numbers. it never fell out of favor, its the most common pvz build on asia cuz nothing really counters it.

Fair enough, wasn't really talking about Asia though. I understand their meta-game differs significantly from what we have on the US/EU. Here I'm seeing a lot more 3 gate robos, 4 gates, and forge expands.

Idra mis-microd somewhat in that final battle with the corruptors coming in 2-3 seconds late. I think he would have won g3 if not for that. He obviously had an advantage after shutting down the void ray attempt so hard.

VODs will be up for sure. Replays probably won`t. Check Day[9]`s thread for Blip.tv/Ustream on-demand links later or perhaps TL youtube channel.

Or maybe because SC2 has less mechanical requirements the older players actually have an advantage over the 16 year olds and we'll see the old 'washed up' players doing better than the current SC1 pros. We don't know.



thats a pretty naive opinion if you ask me. The current pros are no where near the caliber of those players, they could pick up SC2 for 2 days and be better.


According to you, with no evidence. Your opinion is just as naive as mine is.

In my opinion we'll see more strategic geniuses (like Tester, who is a coach) and less 15 year old mechanical monkeys doing well in SC2 because it's a slower paced game with less mechanical requirements. Sounds like a logical argument to me.




this. because of the easier engine in sc2, strategy > mechanical monkeys. and thats great.

actually in theory it sucks because it turns the game into a guessing game since scouting is almost impossible early

great risks will pay off because they cant be battled with great mechanics
