HerO: "lately I have no confidence"

He almost always lacks it, doesn't he?


I think he was confident that one time at DH in Winter.

Storms are already really strong vs. Zealots.


Literally all they're good for in PvP, you can kill 50 probes with them if you're Parting and still lose vs Sora

I like new maps, makes the game more interesting and favors raw skill over practiced builds.


It favors improv not raw skill. Since refinement is a skill too.

Your mechanical skill and decision making is not affected by the map. You can technically call it a skill to memorize something but a person of any skill level can practice a build that will give him an advantage on a map, its not impressive.


There are no optimized builds for any maps. Everyone thought Gangnam and its variations was the best TvP build for that map but by the end PigBaby had cracked it.

Akilon had a life time of 1 year, but by the end the builds players were using vastly different builds from just a month prior. There aren't very many players who just blindly memorize a build order at the top level. SC2 just doesn't work like that.


Which is what makes this game fucking awesome. And it's not just the pros - the way I play TvZ and TvP has changed drastically in terms of positioning and map-specific sim-city or engagement choices from even 2 months ago. There's always wrinkles to exploit.

She's there for a reason you know, so she can translate for the Koreans because not all of them are confident in their English yet. And I wouldn't call Susie "dumb" when she is hosting, translating and plenty for this scene.

I'm sorry guys, I hope Jaedong loses. I feel like Hero has a better chance of advancing if he plays him instead of solar.

It's particularly retarded to say that when she's actually the one pushing them to speak in english and not give formated answers.
