The graph shows that he dropped because of using a new race and regained his position shortly after... at the same ranking as when he was playing protoss. I've done the same thing by switching from terran to protoss. Get it now? | ||

If Huk switches to terran, I'm sure hes going to see loss loss loss loss loss until he gets used to it. | ||

I'm guessing that the difference there as well is that the Z -> T player plays to just win the games, most of the time via some abusive strat. Morrow plays to improve, and as he said, he concedes games if he makes just a small mistake. | ||

Once he started again, this time with Terran, he immediately started climbing the ladder quite rapidly. There was never a period of "oh shit, I'm trying to learn a new race and keep losing!" | ||

You drop 300 points for not playing for a few weeks? | ||

Though I am quite suprised on how many people think he does so bad with Z only because he is new to the race and has to play against people of the same skill as before. I'd be happy if he liked Zerg and stayed with it - but cmon, the best foreign Terran player (counting tournament wins) trys zerg and doesn't win anything at all? Shouldn't someone with such raw skill not be able to win at least a few games on ladder? Maybe it's my Z bias, but this sound about right to me - basically what you expect from someone switching from T/P to Z. Anecdotal evidence proving that the opposite switch is easy as fuck: I chose Terran by accident a few days ago and beat Lalush on Desert Oasis(!) while playing my first game as T since release, sporting 3k minerals all game long because my T macro absolutly sucked. | ||
