None of the players here are 'casuals'.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

Each time a well established pro-gamer loses to some amateur I have never heard of, it feels like the alure and the magic of pro-gamers is greatly cheapened.

I like new players making a splash at the scene, but at the same time, this inconsistence diminishes the competition for me personally.

I agree with this, i been thinking a lot about it lately and makes me wonder is the skill cap really that high.

this is so, so true. I agree with Carmac's sentiment on twitter about having some form of open qualifiers for every tournament, I think Slasher brought it up as well

Don't worry. in like 5 years the scene should be much more stable (or stale if you will).
For now, really enjoy 2012 since now is the time when new talents come in and replace the "old guard" of established Broodwar and WC3 players.

Yes the skill cap is really that high, there's a reason IMMvp and MC have won 300k and most pro's don't come anywhere near that.

Maybe Demuslim just isn't that much better than these guys.

I suppose Ourk doens't know about DeMuslim's quick third, taking a third that much behind your opponent doesn't make much sense.

Ouch, getting caught out of position like that with only 1 colossus puts you in a pretty bad spot lol

Yea obviously, but even the best players are capable of losing to a much lesser person, take mvp/nestea for example.

Everyone has an off day, I wouldn't read too much into it except Demuslim made a big mistake.


I wouldn't call ourk an "amateur", he's been on several famous teams such as 4Kings. Do people call players from vile amateurs?
