Garimto is so beastly!!!!!!!!! LOL at KESPA!
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crown and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness.

i agree that warp gates should have the same time as normal gates, just use them for proxying people, this faster spawn time + warping to any pylon on the map is stupid imo
Think you got lag? It took Jesus 3 days to respawn.

garimto doesn't seem to have realized how good the mmm+ghost/viking combo is against P ^^


I tend to agree. I don't think terran are weak against P at all. Said combo is incredibly strong. Marines with upgrades are a monster.

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.

Garimto: Complexity. Internally or externally, its Achilles heel is gonna be complexity. Internally, Starcraft II is overly complex. Whenever there’s a big battle, you have to use three or four important abilities at the same time. Even for someone who plays as much as me, it can be overwhelming.


In the light of all the "there is no micro" complaints, I found this fascinating. Is he (having been out of the "scene" for so long) just lacking in speed compared to the folks posting/complaining via interviews, is the asian scene simply better at spellcasting, or what?

when people talk about the lack of micro they arent talking about spellcasters, but the auto micro features like surround and worker targetting, the lack of high ground advantage and the lessened value of chokes and ramps cuz of pathing and collision sizes. the latency also makes basic unit control less clean and effective.



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?

Or maybe, he criticizes the complexity not only because its hard for him to do stuff, but because he just thinks less spellcaster-centric game is more pleasing to play?

I didn't get the impression he passed judgment on whether it was "pleasing" to play, as he only talked about the potential "wall" it would create for casual players, whom have no chance of casting several spells simultaneously at the onset of battle.

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

"NeoOmega: Artosis You may sound a bit like a phony TV weatherman when you commentate but your still an excellent human being." made me laugh for 10 minutes


And yes, tanks are to weak, I struggle to make them effective in a battle!

It's so obvious garimto is just bullshitting when he says the game is too complex. 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.

I hope Blizzard bows down too.. Would be insane to watch all gosus play sc2. Mostly to compare the euro/us plrs with the asian gosus.

I think Garimto's insight is really interesting, particularly how excited he is about Battle.net 2.0.

Why are you showing this to me? 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

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
