Also: 12-13% silent, 34-36% self assured, 9-13% criers, 70-80% standard. You've got a minimum of 125% there, buddy.

i thought it was an interesting read, and i think some of you guys are slating it alittle hard, if you read it as a matter of opinion then thats far game, if you read it as pure fact then of course its going to sound crazy.

Nice read, thanks for fending off bordem whilst i was at work!

I dont think it belongs in "Strategy Section". Second it isn't true. Half of the time i'll just "glgl" like a bot, or "glhf" if i feel to... Seriously, bad thread.

Honestly people in lowers leagues think about this game more than I do, and I'm practically in masters.

Here's my tip. Stop thinking so god damn much about the game, and keep your money low.

Low money=winning.

Spending even 5 seconds thinking about your opponents "personality"=/=winning.

This is not psychoanalysis and I'm not sure it is very helpful either.

--I am a smoker, so I always have a lighter on me. As such to try and keep my fingers sharp as well as my mind, I will either spam grind the flint without hitting the gas on the lighter, or twirl it between my fingers as fast as I can.
---------I find that this helps me when I am playing StarCraft II, in situations where I need to push my macro that extra mile because my fingers will already be used to moving around quite a bit. Makes moving my fingers and hands from say Hotkey+1, to Hotkey+7 alot easier and smoother in my opinion


TL has officially jumped the shark

No offense, but your use of the term psychoanalysis is completely wrong.

As for the rest of the post, it's completely ridiculous. Your illusory correlations are based only on anecdotal evidence.

This. If you don't know what psychoanalysis is, don't use the word.
And everything is just wrong with those things.

Like a lot of people I think this is bad in it's execution but good in the idea. For something like this to work you would need to mass ladder, play the exact same way in every game, and then record the opponent's response. And repeat for a variety of situations. But hey, it was a good read

I like what you were trying to explain in this thread, and you almost got the point across, but i am just not sure this could be called strategy. I just feel like all of this is just based of players you may have faced on ladder, and then you made up names for them and assigned random percents of playing them. I do agree that it is sometimes possible to "figure out " an opponent by looking at the chat, but i do not think that a guide for this can be made, even in just lower leagues.

I normally just kill the dude while hes pulling a freud on me.

I don't put much stock in the OP at all. If you were in silver and got the analysis coreect 89% of the time you'd just kill him or deflect the cheese you know is coming.

It wasn't invented by Freud, he just took most of the credit for it.

edit: What made Freud so popular was his theory of personality, not his version of psychotherapy, because quite frankly, it wasn't psychotherapy at all. It was all a series of case studies. He gave cocaine to one of his clients and was delighted to see he cheered up (the cheering up reached the level of mania, of course).

Please, OP, this is poorly written. Your intentions are good, yet as a bronze league player, I find that chat doesn't really matter at all in my games. The players either 'glhf' or not. Besides, I use scouting to figure out what they're up to, not mind games.

Big 5 is just a watered down version of Eysenck's trait theory.There isn't even any theory behind it, it's just the result of factor analysis.
