The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

Did TL have live threads for BW OSLs?

The complaining for the 2007 EVER tournament must have been legendary.


I know I should know this, but what was it that happened in EVER OSL? Did Bisu get cheesed out?

i wonder if protoss players realize how powerful void rays are nowdays. i think some kind of chargelot voidray timing with sheild upgrades (boosts both air and ground defence) with a mothership core and templar tech as a followup could be incredibly deadly in almost every matchup. if you are doing some kind of timing push, there is really no reason to get a single stalker cause void rays offers so much more for the buck


Oh yeah. that'll do well against marines.

Why exactly are koreans so much better than the others? With equal practice everyone should be able to get the same skilllevel. Kind of mindboggling.


They practice smarter and longer. That's about it.

Ehh, I'm not so sure it's so simple. There is most certainly a cultural element at work in Korean dominance; 'tis not only how they practice but why they practice.


What I said is a general description that does not take into account the infrastructure, community, schedules, personnel, or personal motivation of Korean teams. But all of it serves to create better dedicated practice, which is the key difference between Korean and foreign players. The very best players usually create their own specific schedules and habits which distinguishes them from their peers.

Yes, and my point is that there is a reason that those who benefit from or are able to devote themselves to dedicated practice in the manner you describe are Korean. I mean, you can stop at "it's the practice", but I'm more interested in why Koreans are so able and willing to practice in such a way. Try as they might, foreigners are seemingly unable to recreate it in any way, be it by traveling to Korea or creating a domestic team house. There is more at work here than just practice.


The gaming culture is different. eSports is treated as a legit career in Korea, which people are willing to sacrifice their youth for. Competition is sponsored by major corporations, and broadcast on TV.

Imagine Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, etc. coming in and sponsoring eSports teams in the West, and it being shown regularly on Cable TV, and local heroes who are the talk of the day in high schools and colleges. That's the equivalent of what Korea has.

Starcraft 131k > LoL 95k !!


Starcraft is dying

LoL 123k > Starcraft 116k

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.

there's no MLG for lol, just the same championship games they get every single week
there was a showmatch, but it was yesterday


wait there's no MLG for LoL? why not and why is MLG hosting the LCS games then

because riot has an agreement with mlg

but it's just regular LCS games, nothing hype enough to get a million viewers like the spring finals will


It may even be a good idea to 'protect' the NA scene by not letting them get slaughtered by asian teams/Gambit just yet

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)


What's your point exactly? That the most talented player could play only 4 hours a day and be better than the best foreigners who play a lot (which we know they don't)?

Yeah, maybe, or maybe Flash is what he is because he works harder and plays more than everybody else (which we know he is).


My point is that people whine about 'foreigners need to practice more', but that's not it. Our players are less talented. Flash isn't good because he practices more than others, that's not why he won an OSL at age 15 (with a huge practice deficit compared to more experienced players). Life won a GSL and was still in school.


But...that is why Life won the GSL. He started practicing more seriously 3-4 months before GSL October, and he was playing the game since January 2011.

One thing I noticed what Polt changed about his macro is building OCs en masse. He used to bank a lot of minerals, but now he seemed to fix this recently.
