I'm confused why are we pretnding that this is a GSL group

cause we were told that we are unable to differentiate between code s and high level foreigner play unless we are kr gm

this debate is becoming a meme. someone really needs to just run an experiment already

I dont think it has as much potential as the 10x one though. people will probably forget about it in a week

eh i think it has potential because the whole korean vs foreigner infrastructure wcs points blahblahblahblah thing already has legs of its own

but also im curious about how the experiment would go

It would have to be a blind experiment. If people knew what we were looking for they would really try to see the differences in play and if you look hard enough anyone can figure it out

isnt that the whole debate though? or is there supposed to be some difference between "looking hard" and watching a game "normally"? as long as you handpicked foreigner games that use builds and styles that are common in the korean meta i think it would be fine

I would be against making foreigners play a korean style or cherrypicking games where they use korean shit.

You need a healthy mix of games etc.

as long as all the games fall under a generally accepted range of pro foreigner level of play im not sure how handpicking the data would harm the experiment. the point of handpicking would be to avoid "cheating" by knowing the korean meta and just playing the odds that it's a "foreign style"


You can just play the odds by predicting the winner being Korean.

That's why you don't do full games, but rather parts of games, like how the midgame evolves, the early game movements from 3min to 8 or so. Maybe even just one lategame engagement or something.

To be honest, to conduct this experiment, how do you even start gathering people to do it on? People from Team Liquid will answer differently from the baddies I met at a barcraft. I think doing the experiment after blizzcon and featuring the last 3 months of games would be the best. Around the time the new patch came would be optimal.


The part of the argument that Catz and Targa make that I don't like is that they're assuming 99% of viewers are casual fans that don't know anything about the fine details of the game. Of course you have viewers that wouldn't be able to tell the difference, because they're inexperienced. They make these assumptions based on the idea that the vast majority of sc2's pro gaming spectator community are " casual " fans, when I think at least half are " hardcore " fans that could tell the difference.

I'm talking about the people who watch WCS daily, not the ones who only tune in to day 3 of a weekend tournaments every month.

I actually thought mostly only the hardcore fans were left.

Exactly. That's why you need a pretty random choice of people varying from TL Gods to barcraft peasants from Norway to pro players and maybe even coaches.

Do you actually want tournament games, though? You'd have to control the recording in a number of different ways, though, and you couldn't just, say, let out a replay.

I think it'd be easier to do the sort of thing TB talked about a long time ago, SHOUTCraft Masked. Where everyone would play a tournament, streamed, with a prize, but they'd all be on barcodes and their names wouldn't be revealed until it was all over.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I probably wouldnt be a participant in this experiment. I watch and play too much sc2.

Do you think you can watch a random replay and guess the players? Korean or not.

edit: Of course the players are noted progamers

cause we were told that we are unable to differentiate between code s and high level foreigner play unless we are kr gm

this debate is becoming a meme. someone really needs to just run an experiment already

I dont think it has as much potential as the 10x one though. people will probably forget about it in a week

eh i think it has potential because the whole korean vs foreigner infrastructure wcs points blahblahblahblah thing already has legs of its own

but also im curious about how the experiment would go

It would have to be a blind experiment. If people knew what we were looking for they would really try to see the differences in play and if you look hard enough anyone can figure it out

isnt that the whole debate though? or is there supposed to be some difference between "looking hard" and watching a game "normally"? as long as you handpicked foreigner games that use builds and styles that are common in the korean meta i think it would be fine

I would be against making foreigners play a korean style or cherrypicking games where they use korean shit.

You need a healthy mix of games etc.

as long as all the games fall under a generally accepted range of pro foreigner level of play im not sure how handpicking the data would harm the experiment. the point of handpicking would be to avoid "cheating" by knowing the korean meta and just playing the odds that it's a "foreign style"



Koreans, on almost a 100% basis, are mechanically superior. Major is the only foreign Terran who can consistently hit 200 EPM. I remember I looked at the replays from MLG a year ago-- foreigners hit 200 epm 2 times and Koreans hit it 43 times. Simply opening the EPM meter show you who the Korean is.. Or is that not allowed either?


It's not like people are gonna watch Zest vs Bunny, then Zest vs Flash, and not notice huge differences between the Terrans.

To be honest, to conduct this experiment, how do you even start gathering people to do it on? People from Team Liquid will answer differently from the baddies I met at a barcraft. I think doing the experiment after blizzcon and featuring the last 3 months of games would be the best. Around the time the new patch came would be optimal.


The part of the argument that Catz and Targa make that I don't like is that they're assuming 99% of viewers are casual fans that don't know anything about the fine details of the game. Of course you have viewers that wouldn't be able to tell the difference, because they're inexperienced. They make these assumptions based on the idea that the vast majority of sc2's pro gaming spectator community are " casual " fans, when I think at least half are " hardcore " fans that could tell the difference.

I'm talking about the people who watch WCS daily, not the ones who only tune in to day 3 of a weekend tournaments every month.


I actually thought mostly only the hardcore fans were left.


You would think that, yes, considering the growth rate of fans and all the statistics we have available to support that argument.

i was thinking the viewers would be people like "us," in other words people who aren't pro or necessarily playing in qualifiers or anything but still watch a lot of pro sc2 and care enough to debate it

but if the question was about casual viewers becoming interested in starcraft by watching foreign play i think thats a completely different issue. and if that were the issue, i think the fact that the scene even existed when the game was new proves you can get interested based on something lower than code s level play since that wasn't even a thing yet

Do you actually want tournament games, though? You'd have to control the recording in a number of different ways, though, and you couldn't just, say, let out a replay.

I think it'd be easier to do the sort of thing TB talked about a long time ago, SHOUTCraft Masked. Where everyone would play a tournament, streamed, with a prize, but they'd all be on barcodes and their names wouldn't be revealed until it was all over.

If the whole tournament is streamed with hiding of the keybinds and all, sure. A healthy balance of people ranging from WCS AM Challenger to GSL winner. In addition I think having a questionnaire is good for this as well.
