Yeah, but it basically guarantees a potential reaper slaughters you, while in theory you should be able to defend it with a stalker.

And wtf ToD. Proxy has nothing to do with proximity, it originates from the word procurator.

That doesn't sound right at all, please explain how that would be the origin of proxy.


You don't build your units at home, you have them built at a substitute location i.e by proxy. And the word proxy usually includes an agent i.e a procurator that is substituted for you. Its all etymology.


Actually yes, proxy comes from procurator and like many words the latin proxy later became the english proximity.


I don't think they have a common origin tbh. Proximity comes from 'proximus' which is 'nearest' in Latin, while 'proxy' is a contraction of 'procuracy', which comes from the verb 'procurare' which is to take care of.

Hoping for Rain to beat Soulkey because even when Maru has looked like he was in better form he still finds ways to lose to Soulkey (his worst opponent all time head to head by map differential -9). Feels like he just flops when he goes against Soulkey

Maru did beat Soulkey last time, but Soulkey was going downhill at that point.

he killed soulkey in his only good gsl run of 2014 and he probably coulda made the finals that season.

I dont know why they keep saying Hero is the favorite, Maru rules, no one gives him respect, I loved it when he beat Innovation and Rain.


I take it you weren't there yesterday.

(or almost ever)


I didn't see his games yesterday, but Maru is one player you don't pick against.


Wasn't talking about his games, was talking about the "no one gives him respect". Few people are praised more than Maru...

yeah i find that maru gets an absurd amount of praise considering his results. don't get me wrong he's a really impressive player but I think people overplay that sometimes.


I think it is because stuff like micro is easy to see whereas mechanics like macro and decision making are much less so. And he certainly highlights sick micro

Yes, the original word proxy comes from procurator, but I think in terms of SC2 and RTS the word more closely relates to proximity than to the actual definition of proxy. It seems more like a case of gamers coming up with their own lingo/being lazy and just shortening "proximity gateway" to "proxy gateway" rather than calling it that because you are building your units through a substitute location. But who knows for sure.

if herO made a zealot at the beginning of the game I think it would be a lot closer.


The zealot is the theoretically worse choice, but considering how this went I can't see it going worse.

well i think it woulda helped against the scv's pushing the stalker back that did no damage. the zealot could do some nice zoning while the stalker and MSC could start picking shit off.


Yeah, but it basically guarantees a potential reaper slaughters you, while in theory you should be able to defend it with a stalker.

And wtf ToD. Proxy has nothing to do with proximity, it originates from the word procurator.


Definition of PROCURATOR
1
: one that manages another's affairs : agent
2
: an officer of the Roman empire entrusted with management of the financial affairs of a province and often having administrative powers as agent of the emperor

That doesn't sound right at all, please explain how that would be the origin of proxy.


You don't build your units at home, you have them built at a substitute location i.e by proxy. And the word proxy usually includes an agent i.e a procurator that is substituted for you. Its all etymology.


Actually yes, proxy comes from procurator and like many words the latin proxy later became the english proximity.


I don't think they have a common origin tbh. Proximity comes from 'proximus' which is 'nearest' in Latin, while 'proxy' is a contraction of 'procuracy', which comes from the verb 'procurare' which is to take care of.


Yes, the original word proxy comes from procurator, but I think in terms of SC2 and RTS the word more closely relates to proximity than to the actual definition of proxy. It seems more like a case of gamers coming up with their own lingo/being lazy and just shortening "proximity gateway" to "proxy gateway" rather than calling it that because you are building your units through a substitute location. But who knows for sure.


There are cases though where the proxy is not really in proximity of the opponent (like proxy dark shrine).
