there is no bigger waste of time than creating strategy content for a game that changes its stripes every 3 months and changes its species every 3 years

i don't think i agree with this? maybe if you approach strategy as "do this exact series of things in every single game," but i'm pretty sure you can develop universal skills based on good info from high level players even if the broader strategy becomes outdated.

In this case the bump was by the OP, who has put an insane amount of effort into it, so maybe he remembers it even after 7 years?

Ah, I didn't catch that, but fair enough.

Point still stands for other cases of things like this though.

the greatest player thread linked some really old nestea and MVP threads already.

The total biscuit thread linked the GSTL win in 2013 and some of his casting in 2012, I think. and the slayers drama.

Lots of nostalgia around here lately, but this thread really shows the incredible content people used to produce for the strategy section.

yea, i was a guide writer several years ago and sometimes like to check on my old threads. currently trying to get good enough at brood war to make guides for that because they will be relevant forever haha. all work that is done in the meta by players is immediately undone by balance patches or essentially rule-changing. the current state of sc2 is deplorable because blizz want to control how you play

I honestly feel like we could have high level strategy content, we just need to have more meta analysis since the game changes so much.

you can still have content if the game changes a lot. to demonstrate i will outline how i used to write my guides.
1. get idea for guide (hour 0)
2. gather vods- didn't take long since there were only 1-2 hubs of content at this time (hour 0-2)
3. grind custom games to imitate build for guide and provide idyllic benchmarks (time in nerd jail is fluid)
4. write guide (1 hour)
5. stare at guide (eternity)

the entire process generally only took a few hours. i was happy to put myself in nerd jail and grind out builds to find the fastest build times. sc2 is succinct enough that if you pay attention you can stay on par with the pros for at least 8-12 minutes so that was my contribution to the tl community :D

8-12 minutes before the added worker change.. now that would be like what, 3-5 minutes? zzzzzzzzzz

You know, the game brought a lot of joy to me when I was younger. Good strategy content was fun and useful. Not everything we do needs to be enduring to be worthwhile.
