yea i feel bad for axslav/incontrol/painuser (does he still play?) since they arn't doing well at all..probably missing someone


painuser mostly casts now (correct me if I'm wrong). and just a wild guess but I'm guessing Axslav/incontrol don't practice as much as other top foreigners and this is why their results aren't very good. I could 100% be wrong, but this is usually the case (as seen in school/studying, and other sports)


Axslav and Incontrol live and practice full time in the EG house...

Painuser still plays a little but is predominantly casting for IGN, he did make a pretty respectable run in the MLG open bracket last time out before getting crushed by HerO


Source with their practice hours?


Inc has stated multiple times on sotg and inside the game they practice around 8 hours daily.


Okay. Perhaps they don't practice as methodically and are not practicing the "right" things. For example I know plenty of people that study hard in school but focus on unnecessary things and waste time because of it. This could also be the case.


Thats why we need coaches. Fruitdealer probably dosen't even practise that much and he made aslav look easy peasy.

If you really don't like "easy" games then take it all the way and hate on SC2 for not being BW. What a fucking joke.

Waxangel felt offended that the LoL player had higher apm than him...

J/K

Still the LoL fans can be even heard on SC2 stream.

What hate on LoL? It's "depressing" because the LoL crowd is larger than the SC2 crowd. We're fans of SC2, so naturally we want the largest crowd for our game. Can't believe I had to type this out for you (how2TL). What a fucking joke indeed.

Bitterdam just said TT1 2:0 Pokebunny and Egde 2:0 Elfi. In Liquidpedia both matches are 1:1. What is the correct standing?

Yea I can rock around 190 apm in a HoN game when it's really 80% spam clicking. In SC2 I only really get around that high when I'm on form.

To a lot of people, SC is the only game allowed to be an eSport. You get the same type of hate for:

HoN
DotA
CoD
Halo
CS
Quake

Yeah, but we should support all e-sports, if League has insane viewer counts that *awesome* for everyone who likes esports. To have hating of any sort on another game in op is all sorts of BM.

It is not as active as booing the Halo award ceremony, but it still should not be there.

Let the haters hate. He's a LoL fanboy obviously and is just trying to stir up some drama. Don't give him the pleasure.

I don't know but I like Axlave style better. Yes, he lost but the way he plays is very much more geared toward for long term, solidness, plus his usual smart. Elfi I don't like him at all. The way he wins is mostly by taking opponents by surprise. Somehow he makes it work despite his terribad mechanic but I don't think he'll last long with that.

it has been stated many times on throgh Various show ITG/SOTG. they pratice 11am-3pm then have a break then 4 more hours couple hours later


It usually isn't the amount of hours put in, which I guess on the NA ladder after a certain point you can only get so good. The quality of practice aside from Idra and Demuslim in the EG house probably isn't nearly as fearsome as the EU/KR players. So it could just be Axslav vs Strifecro 8 hours worth of practice, which doesn't sound nearly as impressive.



Many people are just not that talented. It's not just quality of practice and hours put in, talent is a huge factor.

Ok, I'm heading home in a sec, so I won't know the maps to throw stats on, but I'll put some general stuff up

TT1 vs Mana

Mana is 124-99, 7-3 in the last 10 games. TT1 is 58-42, but is on a complete tear in PvP recently, going 9-1 in the last 10, and having a 12-game streak recently!

These guys haven't played each other since June, and TT1 is 3-2 up overall

Stream makes it even worse then live, right now it's just over 16k people on SC2 to 50k on LoL. This is sadly what happens when the game maker actually cares about promoting these things though.

Login to LoL front page is just simply a link to the tourney, login to SC2 there is a tiny news segment in the top right and no link to the stream.

My question is why would APM even be relevant in a game like LoL or DoTA? You can accomplish the same thing with 20 APM if you time your moves correctly. The fact that there is little to no multitasking in that type of game tells me that APM is relatively useless measurement.

I disagree entirely with this post. I believe anyone can become a professional player in SC2 if they practice correctly and for long enough. If someone practices 15 hours a day for 5 years and they start off with no "talent" (btw what is your definition of talent?) I refuse to believe they could easily become a TOP professional player.

Everybody pronounces it Poke-bunny (ie not like Pokemon) that I've heard. And he hasn't complained... as far as I've heard.

Not very reliable but there you go.

i think they are tricking eg for salary or something like this and watching movies hanging around all days. It beyond my imaginagine if they practise hard (8-12 hours per day) and playing like this.
