I think its common knowledge that warpgates need a change though. I agree that if Terran can get to mid-late game against Protoss its pretty well balanced. Where Terran has trouble is in the early game timing window. If you can survive that you are usually in decent shape heading into mid-game. It's not an easy task against someone good, though. | ||

I understand that, but I see a big disparity between people like, who was it... Louder? complaining about not being able to envision "becoming much better" due to a "lack of things to do," and Garimto complaining about there being "too many things to do." And I mean that in terms of micro, not like Nazgul, who said there were always things to do macro-wise, whilst not really mentioning much in terms of micro required/involved during battles. Obviously Garimto focused on the spellcasters, and Plexa's post a couple weeks ago about the lack of ANYthing to do during battle was probably before people began using spellcasters more often. And I'm going in a circle trying to explain, but, there was, and still is (it seems), a significant amount of people on TL who seem to imply that SC2 battle is largely auto-attack into each other (and some micro to smooth out auto-unclumping), and that seems to clash with Garimto's "omg battle start massive spellcast gogo" thing. I'm wondering if Garimto is indirectly implying that the complainers simply aren't using spellcasters. Or is Garimto is simply slower than foreign players, whom have found spellcasting easy, and thus the foreign players already have good spellcaster micro and want to micro the main army, too, or what. If that was more clear? | ||

Maybe he implied it, but it's hard to take impressions/implications from "reading between the lines" off of a translation. | ||

Hes so insanely bitter about getting washed up that he takes shots at current pros all the time and tries to make it sound like they're brainless speedbots and hes some genius. The reality is that sc2 isn't any more complex than broodwar and you don't need to think any faster than you did before. On March 09 2010 03:14 Artosis wrote:

But I can’t make any quick decisions about becoming a progamer when the progaming market is so unpredictable. I think Garimto's insight is really interesting, particularly how excited he is about Battle.net 2.0. | ||

I already knew he was in one of the top spots in the platinum league and that is exactly why i think hes just saying things to make people think that sc2 is all about whose thinking faster. I honestly doubt he really thinks there's anything complex about it. What proof is there that he got that record by thinking faster and not from having better mechanics than the current player pool? its just total bullshit I think Garimto's insight is really interesting, particularly how excited he is about Battle.net 2.0. He's really old now and had no chance to do anything if the game wasn't very easy. It's obvious he would love to keep it this way. If broodwar is all about speed why are there hundreds of players faster than flash sitting on the B team or playing as an online practice parthner | ||
