(http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=176858) I completely agree with Sjow that people overscout in both BW and SC2. Oftentimes you start off with a build that is undecided for a while then scouting is crucial because your build adapts. However so many players use builds that are not made for adapting (again in both BW and SC2) and will lose to proxy rax for example even if they scout it. Not talking about Sjow here I'm talking about other players that do in fact scout, but when they see something happening still die to it, because they don't use an adaptable build. These players (a lot of top guys) don't understand the relation between adaptable builds and scouting patterns. Sjow understands that when using builds that aren't fit for adapting (which are plenty of builds from just about every player) you shouldn't scout at all. This does not make the build bad whatsoever btw because plenty of adaptable builds can lose to standard stuff because they gave up too much becoming adaptable. That's the price of playing RTS and the choices players need to make for themselves. People blindly saying thinking this is bad or that SC2 has failed need to get a clue and create a better understanding for the game. Judge a guy that scouts using an unadaptable build instead of the guy using the same build not scouting. The one not scouting understands the game much better. Everything depends on the builds that are being used. There's not only a difference between builds but also a difference between races. It's hard to imagine a good ZvT strategy where Zerg does not know how many raxes were built; thus Zerg should always drone scout. still it would be a interesting debate I guess btw, neither the mirror, itunes, or the original links work for me :S don't kow if it's me or the links [EDIT] it seems to work now oO | ||

I suck too. | ||

It doesn't matter who says that e.g. early banshee is good agains zergs, it will still be true. I unterstand that being a progamer should mean that there is a higher chance your point is valid, but it doesn't justify an invalid point. PS: I liked the laughathon, and the Tyler - IC - Anna banter, but I kinda understand now why Chill doesn't like Kennigit  . | ||

PS: I liked the laughathon, and the Tyler - IC - Anna banter, but I kinda understand now why Chill doesn't like Kennigit .In sc2 complaining about mechanics is just bad. If you have horrible mechanics you can be very good even without understanding the game very vell. Just seen a rep a 70 apm guy beat Idra, sc2reps.com, at least 10-15 cups european weekly cups were won by players with less then 100 apm. Protosses have 100/100 on every nexus after 9th minute of the game at the highest level, biggest macro zergs have lot of extra energies of queen, pros supply blocking themselves all the time even in early game. Those are mechanics. One can get to high-mid diamond doing a single chese in every matchup somewhat correctly. Anyone who says he understands this game well, but he is backheld by his mechanics is 2 grades below terrible, as he doesnt even get that he is bad at the game. | ||

He just makes fun of his sc skills and even in that you can tell he is just joking around. | ||

Also the questions were freaking awful, why'd they answer so many about all-ins/rushes? JP should have picked the best ones only and left out all the other crap people were writing. Tyler was hilarious, so yay for drink-casting! | ||

Son, every god damn player from bronze to 2k diamond players thinks that their knowledge of the game is spot on, and it's just their mechanics holding them back. | ||
