If you are lamenting at the lack of mechanical demands that SC2 presents its players its time to stop watching SC2!

Nerchio still is probably one of the fastest foreigners though, probably around 250 - 300apm.

Hard to have 250-300 apm when you only press 3 buttons lol. But his mouse speed and accuracy is sick tho from watching his stream.

Nope.

Best tournament ever for Sc2 will always be MLG Columbus 2011.

Well holding the all-in of the best PvZ player should be the definition of outplaying. It was MC's choice to all-in.


Wooooooaaaah Hero is playing?


No. One series win against DRG when you aren't even in Code S does NOT make you the best PvZer in the world.


Christ it was a joke.
But if you wanna go there, HerO's PvZ has been art ever since. Doesn't matter if he's in Code S or not, it was amazing when he was in Code S, it was before and it is now even though he says he's not comfortable with it.

No, he is not. Poker players say there is luck in poker... they just recognize that they can play more consistently than most other players if they are better.

Probability is a variable that can be calculated. Luck is the abstract idea of probability.

I don't understand the logic of all inning vs a player you are far better than.


The logic of all-ining in any BoX is that it establishes that you are capable of all-ining, thus making the opponent less likely to do greedy builds - 3 base muta without a roach warren specifically in the case of MC's all-in on Ohana. Maybe he saw Nerchio's game against Hasuobs on the same map?

Mind to stop this "only 3 buttons" stuff? If it is that easy than play zerg, win all the tournament and come back.

MC, dont lose this , especially against that kid...

Did you just call Nerchio 'that kid'?



I did, I dont like him and everyone can see that MC is not playing his best ...

It's the lamest excuse of all time. If my team/player gets outplayed, it's because they underperformed, if they won, they were plain better.
It's OK if you don't like Nerchio and MC is still a favorite here so you still can have your satisfaction but you should stop with the excuses.

What?There's luck involved in poker, the same applies for sc2 and the amount of games between players is way too small which makes blind luck even more important.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

I guess.

I define it as short-term variance.

It's hard to tell when people are joking on the internet.

I've always said Hero's play has been art rather than raw power - like the anti-MC, with his cutesy warp prism play. Ironically, he won his most recent tournament off the back of very MC-like 2base timings.

I'd prefer it, if the the casters would let each other finish every now and again before chiming in their own input . It's hard to follow anyone's train of thoughts with all those interruptions. ><

Because all factors in the game are either fixed or a direct result of players imput. Nor randomness = no luck.
