Oh look Terran wins every single match Terran has played in.

They're not OP though, daddy told me so.

But everyone isn't getting equal amounts of practice, and certainly not equal quality of practice. Same goes for infrastructure and mentality - the Koreans (usually) have it all, and talent, whereas foreigners only have some of those.


Yeah sure, but I mean, in the Netherlands we have a gold medalist at snowboarding. There are no mountains in our country. That is not good practice environment but with enough dedication anything is/should be possible. But not with SC2 it seems


Does this gold medalist practice in the Netherlands?


Yes, we actualy have indoor places for it. So that makes his point rather irrelivent.

http://www.twitch.tv/ and LoL game just started.

Watching LoL streams is like watching paint dry. I definitely anticipate a huge influx of players constantly coming to SC for esports.


LoL has 32 million active users, they have plenty of people they can grab through marketing and advertising to watch their streams.

100k viewers is like 0.3% of its playerbase. Though this should tell you how dedicated starcraft fans are relative to the playersize


Haha, I was going to say that too. 32 million players yet they can only pull in 100k to watch MLG, while SC2 only has a few million (4 million?) and we are able to get the same amount.

Just as how you can root for any player or team in any sport, you can root against one. Disliking/ cheering against a player doesn't mean you're being disrespectful. Anti-fans will necessarily exist just as much as fans will.


It just means you're a pretty sad person.

Honestly, if Flash would practice only four hours a day living at home in NA, he'd still be better than all foreigners. Talent also plays a role and Korea has always had more competitive players and higher status for professional gamers. (not more players)

Only problem is how volatile TvT is. Polt has shown he has vastly improved his macro, but he's weak vs cheeses.

The sad thing about speed-medivacs is that while they allow T to harass to their hearts content, they also force their opponent to stay defensive. They make for a turtlier game.


Not really, but the zerg/protoss needs to take air control with muta/phoenix. Else, he'll be dropped like a madman.

Maybe but mutas are lame late game . The Terran is just going to sit, max on 3-3 or 2-2 and crush the Zerg .
Viper/ultras seems to be better and with lings/infestors and static defense you can deal with drops .


Muta midgame, overlord speed, vipers + infestors lategame. Ultralisk so that you can fight the terran head to head. I think it's the way yeah.


From what i've seen on streams like Hyun's, mutas are not really the answer. They can't catch up to medivacs anymore and they seem to deal poorly with 2 bases pushes while their harass potential has been reduced because of the widow mines.

I'm waiting to be proven wrong though, i would love for Mutas to be the cornerstone of zergs again.

not to be an asshole but i gotta say i've been wondering about many decisions that MLG makes for a long time. they've been receiving heavy criticism for mass downtime, then they finally announce they'll 'fix it' like 2 years later... and then they don't fix shit. i guess they show the players faces before they actually start playing sometimes, which is kinda cool. that 'highlight reel' thingy was rather embarassing though, not sure that people a-moving hellbats into mineral lines with Axeltoss saying stuff over it is the best possible content you could come up with. i personally don't even mind the downtime that much, i know how to keep myself busy and/or entertained on the computer, but i'm just astonished by the fact that fixing something like this seems to be so difficult for MLG, along with many other decisions they have made, and yet they still manage to invite all the best players in the world (and then add some random americans... well let's not get into that one), have amazing games, solid caster lineups and more or less flawless production. you would think if they can handle all this stuff, they could produce a few decent videos and have someone actually play them between games.

It's not so much the amount of practice as much as what you're practicing + what you're learning.

For example by all accounts Dan Henderson was a workhorse (Olympic Greco-Roman wrestler, PRIDE Middleweight Champion, probably a hall of famer in any MMA conversation) and that didn't stop him from getting starched and choked out by Anderson Silva, who trained with fucking Steven Segal.


Bad analogy, anderson silva fights with massive advantages in MMA, the dude is has super long limbs and is super tall for his weight class (he is taller than most LHW's, he is taller than the greatest HW of all time).

Who's the greatest HW of all time?


Fedor obviously. But it depends on if you mean in an absolute or relative sense. I think relative is the only one worth mentioning as absolute is pretty much always just who is the best now.



Did I ever tell you that I pretty much like to tell myself Fedor retired after 2009 and the Werdum/Antonio Silva/Henderson fights never happened?
