@fishuu interesting but i disagree well written. with all due respect, be more efficient with your language. You could have cut 1/4 of the words without losing any meaning.

Agreed, this is a problem I find with a lot of fishuu's writing, but to be fair, it's not his expertise.

An awesome article with some seriously excellent writing. And the picture is hilarious and very well made too. Great job guys!

Also, it's funny how people complained about Stephano's naked boobs but no one mentioned Puma's pubic hair.

Stephano needs to put a bra on.
Like why do u use an oven instead of a fire? Coz its fucking better at cooking, that doesnt mean you want the shit to burn.

Excellent writing, i must admit. Very deep, describes very well what the state of the game actually is. Ok, that came out as a cross reference, but it wasn't intended ^^

Keep this kind of threads up, they are what we nerds like to read

Might the future look different? We might have good reason to desperately wish it will. At the heart of 'balance' in starcraft is a belief that the better, harder working, smarter player will always win. In challenging the idea that practice is what matters most of all in Starcraft 2, we open up the argument that Starcraft 2 is simply not as balanced a game as we wish to believe. That players who have put in less time, in less rigorous conditions can win is a threat to the basic premise of Starcraft 2 competition. This argument seems like too dramatic an overall conclusion after just a month of foreigner success. But it might be that we all have a stake in rooting for Koreans in the future, if only because it'll mean that practice is slowly starting to make perfect.


This is the only part of the article that I agree with. If practice doesn't make perfect in this game as it does in BW, then I might as well as stop watching. I can only hope that HoTS and LoTV bring more depth, both physical and mental, to this game.


Practice NEVER makes perfect and never has. Practice makes permanent. How well you spend your time practicing will matter for how well you do, not just how long you practice.


Indirectly, an RTS game with sufficient amount of mechanical requirements will demand length of practice as a prerequisite of success. Of course, I was working under the impression that most practice habits are similar in efficiency - obviously they aren't, but that's an area that is extremely hard to quantify and measurem, and obviously, differs from human being to human being.

It's just like schooling. Mass schooling exists because society has to have a baseline to measure competency. Sure, the more education one has doesn't always directly equate to more competency in a specific subject matter, but in general, there is a strong correlation. In a perfect world, every single progamer should get individual attention based upon his/her own needs, but we're obviously not there yet. Thus, more practice (assuming relatively efficient means of doing so) are the best ways we have right now.

If you think in order to have a "non-fraud" game, skill only needs to be based on the amount of practice, you're really sad.
Some people are just good. It's called talent, it's what makes sports and games interesting. Does that mean a very talented player doesn't need practice ? Of course not. But a talented player can probably beat a player with no talent who practices twice as much.
I really don't care enough to go into an essay in that, but that's so painfully obvious that I don't understand how people can dismiss natural proficiency. In music for instance, some people are "talented" or even incredibly gifted, and some people will forever stay mediocre.

Until they manage to beat the top koreans on a consistent basis, these three players do not impress me at all.

He's French and the French chick's holding the French flag during the French revolution. I sence a theme here.
What's funny though is that the october revolution was when the communists took power in russia ^_^

It's this same mentality you're potraying in this article the one that makes us stagnate over time. That is, the constant need of wanting to classify things.

The Korean Model, The Foreign Teamhouse Model, The Lone Ranger Model, Foreigners, Koreans, mass-practice, smart-practice, self-confidence.

If you're at the top, you got yourself there, not a style.

So much Stephano hype... next comes Elfi and... well, I hope they can live up to it. I can see them losing fans for something that isn't their fault at all.

This is probably the most epic OP ever, great rendition of a classic painting!

... Reading comprehension is not so good on TL.

The bolded is literally what the article is saying. All the classifications are done by the masses. He is saying there is not a set model (with the majority of people believing the Korean model is the one) that you have to follow to create a champion.

Instead, they have much more to do with an improved mentality. As his mechanics and strategies are relatively unchanged, what has given IdrA recent success is a different way of looking his games and his play.This is not news, IdrA has said this in interviews, and it has been echoed repeatedly by the EG faithful. But it is symptomatic of the cognitive dissonance on these issues that the significance of this has not been really examined

This group of sentences makes no sense lol
