Besides Ty and Innovation, there aren't any korean terran players with better unit control than him


LOL. Okay.


If you watch the actual game and you understand how absolute shitty his base management is, you would realize how incredible it is that he still is that good. But it's easier to just make ignorant sarcastic comments instead I guess.

LOL WTF?!

Uthermal would get absolutely rolled by any Terran in GSL. Any player for that mattter.


I never said otherwise, assuming you mean Code S.


The point is going right over your head. While I don't agree he has as good of micro as the people you think he is using lots and lots of APM on unit control while mismanaging macro. You don't just gain tons of APM randomly. You choose to spend your APM on areas where you think it is most important. Just because you think he can make his macro good while continuing to micro perfectly doesn't mean it will ever work like that.


No I think you don't understand the point. Because his actual issues are not that APM intensive. They are easily adressable with a marginal shift in priorties. That shift would not hurt his unit control that much. Like he would still be the terran with by far the best unit control if he spend 5% less time managing his units.

WHY? Because his speed and mouse accuracy is significantly better than any other foreign terran player.


Oh and now he's the Terran with BY FAR THE BEST UNIT CONTROL. Rofl.

So basically uThermal is Happy with better macro.


Not really. Happy just refuses to build scvs constantly.

Uthermal on the other hand has much better worker macro, but horrendous saturation. Like in macro games you would constantly see him with 20+ workers on one base and 10 workers on another. The lack of camera hotkeys is a big reason for this. It's not even that much of a mechanical issue (because it's easy to adress if you focus on it).

Further, he builds and lifts command centers way way too late (when there is no strategic reason for it). This hurts his income rate and he needs to compensate with it in terms of unit control.


Wait, did camera keys get patched out or is it just that he doesn't use them?

Problem is using camera hotkeys when you don't is not that easy because a) going out of your comfort zone at high level is very hard to do b) your mechanics will be messed up for a while.

How would you know how fast and accurate he is compared to other terrans since they don't stream

No I think you don't understand the point. Because the solution to adressing his base management issues are actually not APM intensive.

They are - somewhat - easily adressable with a little shift in priorties. That shift would not hurt his unit control that much. He would still be the terran with the best unit control if he spend 5% less time managing his units. And making sure you have proper saturation doesn't take very long time for someone using camera hotkeys. The same thing comes to securing expansations at proper times.

WHY? Because his speed and mouse accuracy is significantly better than any other foreign terran player.

How do you know his hotkey setup?

He has streamed/He has said so. He said he thinks he is too fast for camera hotkeys.. (which I find to be pretty dumb).

The best way to identify strenghts/weakness's of players in relation to other players is to watch FPV or replays.

Wait are we arguing how uThermal is almost at the level of top Korean Terrans if he fixes just one thing because he does well in WCS Welfare?

Okay O_O

I hope he gets invited to IEM Taipei that seems to be the only chance to proof yourself as a foreigner right now

Its still a mystery to me how a much slower player like supernova managed to run circles around him.

Yea I wouldn't put him ahead either, especially notin big fights

But he has gotten a lot better since like a year ago when he suffered from the same problem as FlaSh which is beeing unable to micro at all in big army engagement (he had small arym micro and multitasking to make up for that while FlaSh had sick macro to try and make up for it, didn't really work out for either of them super well at the time)
