I think ROOT will help him with that and i look forward to seeing how good he can become  . | ||

From what I've seen. He beats bad players, but gets crushed by anyone who knows what they are doing. iNcontroL, IdrA, Dimaga. Lot of players tear him apart. All of this can be explained by him training with CatZ. (BAM SHOT AT CATZ) HOWEVER, if he keeps improving at the rate he is he will be a HIGH LEVEL player in 6-12 months. And when i say high level I mean competing in GSL. He was complete garbage when i hit him on the ladder 2 months ago, and hes 10x the player he was then. TLDNR: Hes bad, but will be good. | ||

Lol @ 6-12 months, almost any top 200 player that got there without mass gaming can compete in the gsl if they trained hard for that long. | ||

Yeah, they're better but certainly not enough to "crush" him. | ||

I don't think they plan on getting sloppy drunk before the show. They're going to have some drinks, be relaxed, probably say some hilariously stupid stuff. I've been drunk many times, just never thought to record a podcast at the time. That said, sure, if it's not a joke, they can feel free to do it and I'll just turn it off if it's stupid. I'd just rather hear a real podcast than a humor. We only get one episode a week, after all. | ||

I think ROOT will help him with that and i look forward to seeing how good he can become .The biggest issue minigun has is terrible mechanics. His micro is decent, his builds are pretty good, strategy is amazing, but his horrible mechanics are something he has to work out of his system. By horrible mechanics, i mean, using 1 army control group only using the first 1-4 hotkeys ive seen him actually click to build stuff his multitasking isnt up to par really, and because of that, his macro is lacking. Ive watched alot of his games so far on his stream, and if he can work out those kinks (he already plays a ton and isnt improving in those aspects that much), he will be a fine player. But pitted up against nony, huk, incontrol, or any of the top toss players, i dont think he would fair so well. | ||

I'm probably pro to you, but to everyone whos actually pro, i'm garbage like minigun. minigun is a mass gamer. him and Mule were one of the first people to get 1,000 wins legitly. And no...it takes more then 6-12 months of training. JulyZerg is my prime example. There is thousands of players who've been playing 6 hours a day since the beta and are still no where. Noobs don't realize that playing X hours a day won't do shit for you unless you know how to train properly. Minigun is a great player, you can't deny that. But what sets him apart is how rapidly hes been improving. I'm not hating on him, just being real. | ||
