If this isn't a pure fiesta of stupidity I'm going to be very disappointed. | ||

Exactly. I really don't think there are many pro games when you can win with 0-0 vs 3-3 marine tank vs marine tank | ||

Did he just do a lot of research before going on today? He's definitely been following GSL from his comments. The exact extent though we will never know. | ||

It could be he still keeps up with and maybe even plays the game, just without the time and effort it takes to be a leading StarCraft personality. | ||

I watch him stream Magic Arena a lot and I think he just has a very solid fundamental understanding of the skillsets involved in playing games at a high level. Obviously he has a lot of history with SC2 so there's a lot of history to draw on, but he often mentions at least keeping up with GSL on stream. I would guess he's still interested, even if it's not his foremost passion anymore. | ||

Yeah that could be. Although it doesn't necessarily take any effort to be a top SC personality if you are just well known. | ||

I would guess he's still interested, even if it's not his foremost passion anymore. TBH I think anyone that plays enough games has that understanding to varying degrees. My best friend is a massive board game nut, and so I'm pretty frequently (not lately for obvious reasons) getting thrown into playing games I've never seen before, but I can pick it up pretty quick because after all, a game is a game. I think if you have a fundamental understanding of Starcraft, Chess and Poker you can pretty much pick up any game. Except Go. I don't think I'll ever understand that game. | ||

Because even though he know the game well once and that obviously helps him, there are still a lot of ongoing changes year after year that one has to keep up with. | ||
