( going toe to toe against Bomber for example ) All I remember is Sjow being dominated vs Nestea at MLG Arena.. his low apm sure didn't help there (0 micro marines vs banelings) | ||

( going toe to toe against Bomber for example ) Before people go and say that NesTea lost that due to the cross server lag: rewatch that series. His biggest issue was bad decision making, not lag. On Tal'Darim Altar he at least twice went with his units into siege tank range and donated some units without actually engaging or commiting. | ||

He beat my favorite player but MC is still first in the group, I couldn't care less. Hahaha, lol at Huk's tweet (as in it's a tweet of someone bitter)... Elfi played well, but you can see that he made very distinct mistakes: - Failing to trap stalkers with FF. - Failure to lift stalker with fleeing WP. - Supply blocks at 50. - At the final battle, didn't control his Colossus completely well. He won because MC played risky and donated 5 stalkers trying to kill the rocks for some reason lol. It's not the PvP matchup (in this case) that is the problem, it's that MC plays his usual risky style and gets punished for it. | ||

Playing Zerg requires better mechanics. Playing Protoss requires insane micro, however. Some might say ZvZ is micro intensive but it is nothing compared to the unit control required by Protoss in all matchups. Being slow doesn't necessarily mean bad mechanics or bad micro either. | ||

Goody did beat Nestea once though, even if it was with lag, and Sjow has taken quite a few games from top players, even if he lost the series. | ||

So good to see MC made through today. How boring would this game be to watch if beating someone 'more skilled' was impossible though? Even the best of the best only have ~70% win rates and that's a very good thing. | ||

It kind of does actually, considering a large part of mechanics is multitasking which requires high apm. Micro doesn't require high apm if you play toss and let your macro slip, but try microing as terran with low apm and be successful. Probably why there are almost 0 good foreign terrans compared to P and Z | ||
