Sjow is the ultimate example of a player who, at least to my eyes, shouldn't be good but is.

He has like 80 apm, sloppy macro, doesn't scout and is mechanically weak in general yet he's somehow one of the best players outside of Korea, I honestly don't get it.

Today was kinda unfair as I honestly think both White-Ra and SjoW are much better than their opponents, but a lot could have happened, of couse. Luckily it didn`t. Tomorrow is going to be interesting, though, I haven`t watched many games from Tarson, so I`m not sure what to expect. He`s impressed me whenever I`ve seen him, but the Kiwi is evil

I honestly can`t see how Dimaga is going to take Fenix, unfortunately, so I`m rooting for Tarson to keep it 3-1 after day 2.

more like ~100 apm, good macro and decent micro, the most important is his game sense and decision making which is outstanding and basically wins him the games
(also dont forget about solid, very safe unusual build orders which often confuse his opponents)

Its the thing generally described as "decision making".
Just look at how he defended that colossus push.

This

SC2 is not a competition who can play most like the perfect A.I, basic decision making and battle sense will win you far more games than being mechanical

SjoW knows what to do, how to do it and when to stop doing it, whereas other players who click around to increase their APM have no clue what to do once something dosent go their way

White-Ra vs Machine was as i exspected, very equal series, were both could have won

TT1 vs Sjow was dissapointing, i know Sjow is really good, but TT1 can play SO much better than what he did there, maybe he had and off day who knows

He doesn't scout early because he knows there is nothing to be seen except for cheese really. Did you miss the scouting with the helion every game? Also 80 APM is fine if it's 80 EAPM. Most players have like 150 APM wich only 80/100 is usefull. With one mouse click sjow just accomplishes what some players do with 10. His macro isn't sloppy at all..

Yes but at the highest level you would think both good decision making and a high level of mechanical skill would be prerequisites for success but Sjow seems to get by with mostly the former.
