Nooo herO ;-;
Well I guess it'll be Life vs Maru finals now. Life wins anyways.
Edit : this may be the first time I see an etymological argument in a LR thread. Grats Ziggurat for showing the skills.

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).

Very true, ok, I guess you guys have convinced me. I will go back to lurking now.

HerO always looks like he'd rather be somewhere else when he's not in a match.
