Yep, pretty bm to smile after you won.

Of course, he needed to crawl up to a corner and cry in fetal position. That's the logical thing to do when you win.

Nerchio and Stephano are around the same level, but they have different styles. Stephano plays a couple of styles and adapts on the fly, while Nerchio is a strategist who plays a lot of styles. MC is able to meta-game vs. Stephano well, but against Nerchio it's harder because Nerchio just showed four different styles in four different games.

They both have their plusses and minuses. But what's great is that EU has another Zerg outside of Stephano who is able to compete with the best.

how is a calculated propability not luck? o_O


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


Same goes for everything not on a quantum scale, which is all human activity, so I don't understand your point.


Don't write about quantum scale if you don't know anything about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle


You have no point whatsoever. Quantum interactions are probabilistic, macroscale interactions are deterministic. There is no "randomness" in any game by your criteria, i.e. "not fixed and not based on player input".

Luck is involved in SC2 because there is incomplete information on both sides, not because something is "random".

I don't see a single reason for a European to move to Korea only to play in Code A or S. That's basically the only tournament they have there and the pricepool is way too low for anyone to move there for 3 months.

All Korean fanboys plz put your head under water for 5 min.

Yeah Nerchio just took down best protoss on the planet and is 18-4 so far in the tournament. Pure luck of course.

hahahaha. I wouldn't call the smile bm, but the thumbs down was. MC does it all the time, I think it's fair for the opposite player to give a known bmer a taste of his own medicine.

I think that was pretty fitting when playing against MC, he wouldn't do it vs other "nice guys".

Random nobody?

Nerdchio is the best EU Zerg other than Stephano.

Well with this win he maybe took the spot as best foreigner zerg. If he takes the tournament, I will call him current best foreigner zerg.

Nerchio still doesn't have the experience to be put in that spot above Stephano. HSC is a totally different atmosphere which helps in Nerchios apparent nerve problem. I wouldn't put him above Stephano until he manages to win a major event in front of thousands of people.

The difference is that one has 100x more fanboys and is chronically overrated compared to the other.

nerchio still in university right? not even full-time pro-gamer?

Actually it doesn't need to be against him. People often forget that it's strategy game so other than mechanics, you need also inteligence. Nerchio studies computer science, he learns a lot of math there and that helps with fast decisions making and analysing the game. So it's not that bad as one might think;p

How can people still underrates Nerchio is beyond me. I think you guys should close liquipedia a bit, and start to watch games and players.

But actually, now that I remember it took a long time for stephano to be seen as a top player, winning IPL 3, ESWC wasn't enough for haters. So sad, how you can't enjoy watching starcraft :-/
