Those who play non-standard always rise quickly, because they catch people off guard with their strange builds and get advantages, but this doesn't last forever. The more they become known, the less their builds start working. You are right, but Snute is doing very well recently. He also took second place in Berlin, Acer StarCraft II Challenge, where he lost against Sage. | ||

Slowling attack at that point in the game is not strange? Even Snute himself said in the interview that it's a stupid move that no one would expect, and that's why it works. | ||

When I think about Scarlett, i think about queens, infestors BL, big ass army and creepspread and boring play that became really strong since the patch. It doesn't take away the fact that she has great mechanics. | ||

If you listened to Snute's interview, everything sounds so simple and clear when he explains it. Every standard build also has a lot of thought put into them. I'm not against non-standard play, that's not what I'm saying at all. It's just, when your play hinges on the fact that your opponent will misread you and give you an opening because you're doing something weird, you're taking a risk. If your opponent actually knows you play this way, then they won't always fall for it. | ||
