That was the one time where i actually agreed with idra last night. It is annoying. So many people clearly have no idea how much lag affects performance - not just actual micro, but also morale, confidence, and concentration. I see so many fallacious counterpoints to try to "disprove" lag, such as, "Oh, but *player in Korea* played so well, I don't see how there could be lag", which doesn't disprove lag at all - it only goes to make the player in Korea look really good. It makes my head hurt, so I'm glad they addressed it on SOTG (oh, and anyone arguing with me seems to be conveniently ignoring that fact - the fact that several high-profile pros explicitly came out and said that the lag is a big factor, IdrA going as far as saying that it's a huge handicap and he doesn't play in international tournaments from Korea just because of that). You are overplaying it, plain and simple. I don't care how crisp Artosis' connection is, Fenix is simply a better player, along with every other player Artosis has played so far. That's not to say Artosis is a bad player, he's just playing really, really good players. The result may have been closer, but there's a lot of room for it to be closer. Maybe we should also take into consideration whether a player also woke up on the wrong side of the bed and how that affects their morale, confidence, and concentration? Or maybe we should look at the medications they are taking and see what the side effects are? There's a line you have to draw at giving players excuses. | ||

Since when is it ok to bash players that are miles above you? ....he is a great commentator though. | ||

We clearly saw that his ingame decision making / understanding of the game was extremely poor His mechanics were god awful, and on his stream they aren't better. He floats consistently around 1k+ minerals, misses his warpgate cycle HEAVILY etc. From a skill point of view, artosis doesn't belong to the NASL. Don't get me wrong, i really really like artosis, and before the NASL started i really wanted artosiso to do well the most. | ||
