The basic idea is to make a shitton of drones, get 1 gas fairly late and stay on only 1 gas for quite a while. Then once the economy kicks in just tech/upgrade/mass like crazy. As long as you survive the first big push or the tech (like banshees etc) you will pull out far ahead. Youre probably right. Just seems counter intuitive that the top Asian player apparently is worse than good EU, US players. | ||

Why does it seem counter intuitive...? EU and NA are larger pools of players, thus, more good players will come out of it. | ||

What people don't seem to understand is that Korea was not always the top dog in SC 1. They got there later than the US and EU, but once they got there, they stayed. Having said that, there's no telling how good Cool is without seeing him in a serious tourney. Anyone who follows Nony's stream knows that people don't demonstrate their skills in ladder matches. | ||

I highly doubt that Asians (and especially Koreans) will make up as large a portion of the top SC2 players as they did in BW. Esports is growing rapidly in the West and people are working really hard on their SC2 skills. | ||

![]() ![]() Here are the two other games from his PGR21 final match with TheWinD anyway since they weren't linked for some reason: http://www.mediafire.com/file/iwo0mom2igd/cool-vs-thewind_game2&3.zip EDIT - In fairness to TheWinD, although he got taken out 3-0 in the final, he had to beat Lui, SenSaTion, hyo, isskincom and Zenio to get to there, which is a far tougher lineup than Cool faced. | ||

Like exactly the kind of game you wouldn't put in a rep pack to show someone's skill. The Protoss build was horrible. Yeah, the Z countered it with extreme ease but... it's a bad build so no big deal. I'm not gonna try to judge the other games. | ||

Lol hey Nony I work at 1-5pm EST on saturdays which seems to be a game time for you because I watch your stream all the time and I can't lie you do play bad on ladder but hey as someone else said tournaments are what count! | ||

I'm quite disappointed because the replays are against very average players (or so it seems). Wah thats so wrong. sc2 is so fast and enjoyable to watch man. I do already enjoy watching replays and observing more than actually playing the game itself. I liked sc:bw, but i was actually never enjoying observing the game or watching replays at all. Might just be me but i totally dissagree there ![]() | ||
