To rephrase that, I'm saying it's a formula that ought not be successful in the long run and the sooner we get there, the better. Neither his micro or macro is good, which is especially obvious when watching his stream. It's a play style that is hard to appreciate a spectator, so in other words I dislike the style. Thus I obviously also do not wish the style to be successful.

SjoW lost to players who came prepared for him. You can call it an upset, because it probably is for most of you, but these guys came ready for him. It wouldn't surprise if he tilted after losing to Sein either which could be why he lost to RunA who also had a trick up his sleeve.

yes exactly. as long as you play the same way (no scouting) and don't change, you will eventually be figure out. Like how MKP got figure out by MVP.

Huh, MKP completely changed his style for the GSL finals and proceeded to play poorly because of it. Nothing to do with "being figured out". If you want to make a point at least give some proper examples.

Neither his micro or macro is comparatively good, which is especially obvious when watching his stream.

Despite my regdate I got SC at the release date and followed it for years and even disregarding that it's obvious there'll be different viable styles, but that does not mean I can't say or hope a certain style should not be viable.

He is a 60apm player who consistently floats thousands of minerals in his games despite not being maxed out.

Certainly most people around here aren't justifying their dislike of Sjow very well, but there is a valid reason for disliking him as a player. That is to say, his play style, which shouldn't be as successful as it is given the mechanics he has to back it up. It speaks poorly of the game, in my opinion and the sooner he is forced to adapt and work on his mechanics, the better. Goody's success if even more disappointing. The players you named have better mechanics or are more creative and interesting. I suppose you can argue his decision making is just so good, but as a spectator his games aren't fun to watch.

If you watch the finals you will know that his base trading style was figure out.

Seeing stupid stuff like this really makes me root for Sjow.
And you dont have to like him, but you should not make stuff up to justify that. Apart from I dont think that it matters, his APM is not 60. Midgame it is over 100, when necessary it spikes over 200. It is actually very much the same as WhiteRa for example.
Basically if he would spam like many other players at the beginning of the game, and a little in between when there is not much to do, poeple like you would regard him as a better player. Its actually ridiculous if you think about it.
