its not a mechanical game in the way BW is so no i dont think it can be chalked down to that. shaky decision-making and hesitation in critical moments has been a recurrent theme


drg losing because of mechanics frankly doesn't seem likely.


until you realize that effort has some of the best mechanics of any player, all-time

Indeed, game 3 was pretty much pure micro that both did excellently but effort did it better.

This is relatable... I've a friend (didn't follow the BW scene) who's a hardcore DRG fan in denial of the loss. Just puts a wide grin on my face. It's Effort baby.

Absolutely, and even with effort having better mechanics (not sure i agree with), the amount of game sense and knowledge that drg has relative to effort should be more then enough of a difference that mechanics can overcome.

feels like you see foreigners fighting koreans and suddenly play 3 levels worse. I guess it is the mix of pressure, unknown opponents style(while they have an easier time studying you) and other thing and kespa players being of course good too.
I mean the kespa players really talked themself into this, we are worse we got nothing to lose kind of thing.


I think one reason why sometimes it seems like the other player is playing bad is because the winning player forces situations that are tricky. If the other player lets you play your game, then of course you will look good, but if the other player does not let you, then chances are that your play will look worse.
