With equal practice everyone should be able to get the same skilllevel. Kind of mindboggling. 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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? ![]() | ||
