It feels as if Reality has been playing SC2 way longer than he has, he is really aware of everything ALL the time.

How would you even know how long he plays it?

Playing it longer helps you understand timings better and develop a really good game sense.

To be frank they are practicing SC2 90% Stork said that and other players. Its still unbelievable how they improved in a matter of TWO WEEKS.

So even if we assume they played EARLIER than they stated in interviews its still weird how they fucked up their games in Winner bracket and after 1 week they improved SO MUCH. So logical conclusion is they are simply talented and picking flaws in their gameplay from hour to hour while training.

I wonder if a lot of players are sucking because it's summer time. No GSL, no GSTL, just WCS and if you're not in this you'd better just rest for a month than practicing. That would explain why so many games are of poor quality recently.

We can't blame it on Diablo 3 like before, that's for sure.

Your vote: Worse build?

(Vote): Happys quick skyterran

Happy put himself behind by 40 supply without an engagement.. so I pick him

On the flip side Coca gave soulkey a free third base and all the tech he could ever want. Tough choice imo.


I think Coca just messed up his gas timings a bit for what he needed to do after the opening while trying to transition into standard, whereas Happy consciously decided to do something stupid all the time xD

Do you really think all of these players are doing BW? Isn't it only for their team league? Where they only need to use 3 BW players? Or have I missed something else? (Lots of questions sorry haha)


You have to switch games every time you come out. So say bisu plays bw for skt one week, next week he has to play star 2, so yeah atleast those who play in pro league still have to practice both games. But afaik pro league is very close to playoffs.

Well Reality is obviously a BW player that transitioned really well to SC2. The thing is, we only see good Kespa players vs the whole variety of GSL players.

It's astonishing how fast they've picked up the game, because even though broodwar was harder, sc2 is still is still a hard game.

That said I think I remember an interview with the head coaches where they were talking about which teams started practicing earlier.

Nice to see Kespa players picked up on the small things like correct map specific turret placement.
