This makes him a worse player in my mind then someone like Curious who will win 90% with straight up better mechanics and skill.

Um you mean the world where was in the semi-finals of the last GSL and the finals of the WCS for that GSL season? Cause I don't even know where the hell Curious was then, I think he made Ro8 in that GSL though. Oh yeah sOs also that Asian martial arts games thing. | ||

I think you're actually just huge fanboy of certain players and so make up reasons for them losing. Also potential Esf fanboy. Further analysis required for confirmation. | ||

Unfortunately, StarCraft is not such a static and unchanging game as you wish it would be. The whole dynamic of cheeses, unorthodox plays and "weird strategies and tech switches" applies in a game designed for out-thinking and out-playing your opponent in a massive variety of ways. Sure we have our mechanical monsters like Curious, but based off of results, sOs has been better lately, and thus he can be seen as the better player, so being a player like sOs does not determine how "good" you are as a player. | ||
