Eh, Mana looked like he had no idea what he really wanted to go for in that game.

I think this is the first LR thread in a while, in which TT1 isn't posting in, cause he's actually playing, and very well at that.

Ok foreigners have officially no hope in this tournament now, if Elfi can't pull out something amazing out of his hat, which is unlikely...

proven what wrong?

that talent is not a factor?

you're wrong in so many ways. you are denying talent exists?


Yes, I deny exactly that. Everything can be trained and learned if your neurons connect the right way. Dont want to go too deep into that as I cant write that down in english


no you are wrong, im sure nature gave some guys some rts game understanding talent, hell, even sc2 game understanding in particular



100% correct.

most recent example I can think of is Stephano. He apparently doens't practice much but watching him play and his decision making/understanding of the game (which at the core is strategy) you can clearly see he's very talented.

When you watch savior play back in bw days, you can clearly see he had talent as well.

I can't believe people here are really trying to say and believe talent is not real. Unbelievable


But then again, I also don't see why you're obsessed with talent.

You can't tell whether what someone lacks is talent just by watching them play. As IdrA, among others in the community, have said - in Starcraft, people who aren't talented but who practice a lot can be good, but people who are talented but who never practice can never be good.

You don't know how much of Axslav/Incontrol's failures are due to their talent and how much of it is due to the way they train.



everything you said i agree.

I never said otherwise. I just mentioned that it's not only hard work, but talent as well.

I just kept going, because it seems there are people out there who believe talent doesn't exist, which is ridiculous.

But I do believe Axslav/incontrol are very limited in their talents compared to top pros.

I dont think no one has said talend doesnt exist at all but seriously anyone can get to top 20 in sc2 with 12h training a day with a great coach. I think talent is what determines whos top 1 and whos top 10 player.. And some people can get up there faster than others..



wrong. take my friend for example. He was horrible and bw and sc2. He's talent is very limited. No matter how hard he tries and how much I try to help him he can not break out of platinum.

He doesn't have the mechanics and more importantly he doesn't have the fast through process. He's a smart guy, but in sc2 he's just lost.


There always that one exeption but Im speaking about an average player.

I think MaNa was trying to do the Oz 3 Gate pressure, but that only really works if you get super fast WG and are really aggressive with your first units. He botched the execution, in any case.

Not to disrespect TT1, but I think this is more MaNa kinda choking than him playing well.
He didn't even have to micro at that failed attack from MaNa, it was just kinda weird from him.
It appears I have been chosen.
