It's been well over a year since he did something remotely impressive and I don't understand how people still call him one of the top terrans. | ||

He is #1 on NA ladder. Look at his damn record be4 you say anything. DeMusliM is better then you could ever be, and a lot better than most people think. The same is w/ IdrA btw. He has just been having a bad streak of tournament results. Just ask Beastyqt, he said that he doesn't know why people flame IdrA, he said that he thinks IdrA is a great player and he practices with him a lot. Now don't go trying to flame Beastyqt, he's been workin his ass off. Look at his MCSL results. | ||

DeMusliM hasn't done a single thing in an entire year. He took a series off Nestea back in MLG winter arena.. that's about the last thing he's done. And nobody cared because Nestea has not been relevant since then anyway. Nobody is arguing that he's not a top NA player.. but unfortunately that doesn't mean shit all. | ||

It matters how you can perform under pressure, in a tournament setting. That's what matters. If you can't win in tournaments you don't have the skill. | ||

Ladder is nothing but a series of bo1 against other players, most of them are not pro. Practice games are not a measure of your success either, you only play against your teammates, whose styles you understand too well already. That's why people usually seek out other teams' players to practice with, or just ladder. There's a reason why people usually don't care about win or lose on ladder and practice, because they're not that important. Can you actually say that people on top of ladder is actually more skill than other people? Good at practice and ladder means that you have a potential to be good at tournaments, where you actually get paid for winning, and which is the whole reasons sponsors pay you salary in the first place. But in the end of the day, posting good/decent results in tournaments is what defines a good player. | ||

How often have you heard of practice beasts in BW that never accomplished anything? There's a ton. Who do we recognize as the best? Those who had the top tournament results and performed best in events like Proleague. | ||

I agree with you on the topic that practice isn't everything, you need to be able to handle the pressure that comes from playing on a big stage and being able to make the proper choices in that scenario. But you can't just derp your way to 1st place time and time again without practice. Hell a grand example of that is Moon, the man would practice over 14hrs a day to maintain his skills. Edit; Also you state that we only keep eye on those who perform well in the individual and team leagues, of course that is true, but do you really think those people got there without practice? | ||

Of course practice gets you there. But what matters itself is your results, not your practice, in terms of judging how successful a player is. If you dominate everyone in practice but get knocked out round 1 every tournament, then it's useless. Some people perform better in tournament settings, some perform worse. | ||

Starcraft is a competitive game, and ultimately what matters is how you perform in a competitive setting. Practice partners who are skilled but don't show results have something holding them back. They have potential. But they are not yet relevant. | ||

And so yeah, practice performances only matter, if the player can turn them into tournament performances. Otherwise, we viewers just don't know if the good practice performance was skill or his opponents being bad/playing not as hard as possible. | ||

In 2012, Prime has gone 5-4, 5-2, 6-1, and now 6-0 against ST. They only lost 5-6 against ST once. Although admittedly, in Prime vs ST in 2012, MKP got field 4 times and went 14-3 against ST lol. ST must have hated MKP so much. | ||
