I'm sure the absolute worst NBA player would make me look silly at basketball That doesn't mean that compared to his peers he isn't terrible, and it doesn't make him immune to criticism. I'm sure Artosis is better than most people here or on the ladder, but he is clearly outmatched in this tournament and its not fair he's taking a slot from a possibly more deserving player and robbing us of good games. Because every game he's in is usually a steam roll | ||

I still like him ofc, but it's interesting edit: is anyone else tired of this fucking olive garden ad? Well yeah, he plays zerg... I know. But the dropoff is only so noticable because he's SO ridiculously knowledgeable about zerg. His commentary there, despite the bias, is actually amazing. But with PvT (or PVP and TVT I'm sure) it's pretty average. With people like day[9], husky, or Artosis I don't notice as much. And I love all of them too btw, I'm not hating. Just interesting | ||

Where do you think you're posting? TLO of course! Grubby's overhyped imo. Great WC3 player but this isn't WC3. He hasn't showed many (any?) results so far in SC2. And TLO is awesome ^^ 3rd place in Copenhagen was a pretty big result. He's inconsistant, not bad. There is a difference. The fact that everyone keeps pointing to a third place finish as evidence of his skill is pretty telling. I know, I know... It was such a "huge, tough!" tournament, like gsl... Yeah, because of the huge amount of people with better places in more prestigious tournaments, it's awful that anyone thinks of grubby as good. I'm not denying he is a good player. But too many people are giving him credit for a completely different game. So far he has placed third in a single tournament. I've never even seen him play until NASL, and he goes 0-4. This is not WC3.... | ||

I think Gretorp was exaggerating, and Idra just didn't want to argue. Although, mech is less viable after the patch due to thors being countered by HTs. If they where spaced out and there wasn't any ghosts out then yeah they would. but the problem is that there is and they never are. The counter to Mech is protoss air. You can't go wrong with 20 void rays and 3 carriers. Even then they wouldn't because Thors do relatively well vs. Immortals. 250mm pre-patch devastated Immortal groups. Protoss air is countered by vikings, so 200/200 mech should really be played with either marines or vikings. Not quite, carriers are actually cost effective against vikings, and your void rays can go in after the intercepters launch (get some phoenix too to tank/dps vikings and lift tanks). I've never seen carriers used effectively against mech. Yes it's possible, no I haven't seen it done. Theoretically speaking, if carriers counter vikings, then carrier colossi (or carrier HT) should ripe apart all Terran armies (since then the only tool Terran would have vs. carriers are marines) but I've never seen it work. | ||

So Artosis gets owned over and over, he'd still crush anyone making comments about his skill level ![]() (or almost anyone) I'm in grandmaster O_O. (I know this doesn't mean i'm better than Artosis btw and ladder doesn't really mean much) sure it means plenty and im sure some players in here are better than him but as i expected, you haven't made any comments like I was talking about Artosis is obviously better than most people posting. I don't think anyone would deny that. However, considering his commentary on other players (e.g. 90% of Code A season one, most of whom I'd say showed better games than his NASL performance) I think he deserves some ribbing. It's almost all good natured; almost everyone making fun of him is a fan. You can't expect a player to play so badly (by pro standards, and this is supposed to be a pro league) and not have people comment on it. I absolutely think that's fair. I just think there is a line between "ribbing" and stupid comments, sometimes people say things and I have to say to myself "do you actually believe that?" Couldn't agree more. The comments like 'Artosis plays like a platinum level player' and things like that really irritate me. The same can be said when Grubby loses too. The guy took 3rd at Copenhagen ffs. | ||

Yeah, he said he played "competitive chess"..but he has no FIDE record, and his USCF rating was 1188 (provisional - 10 games)..which puts him at slightly above "Beginner" in the chess world... ![]() (Glad the stream/JTV died, so I had enough time to look that up..) | ||
