the person who wrote the article in the op is far smarter than the vast majority of the people in this thread

maybe if they actually read the article and considered what the words meant they'd realize he didnt mean "SC2 HAS A HARD COUNTER SYSTEM"

It would be awesome if you could actually scout during rock paper scissors games

lololololol who says you can't scout Rock/Paper/Scissors. While I agree that this writer's knowledge of RTS is much less than the size of the article. Remember your comparing 'low-level' RPS with 'high-level' Sc2. General consensus is that at low-level of anything, players are less likely to scout. So here's what could happen at top level of RPS:

-First, try this simple excercise, play a RPS game with yourself, and note first when you choose whether to go Rock, Paper or Scissors. Then note when (THIS IS THE KEY), you actually form the hand-shape. Supposedly Majority of people will make the hand-shape at the start of the final downward swing. That's your scouting right there. A trained eye will be able to scout this and thus be able to react to it. At PRO level, you can imagine the 'intense' RPS battles that goes on in the blink of an eye, wIth it's own fakeouts and techniques. Perhaps when the human race has evolved so the majority will have this kinda of reflex, we may see a site like TL dedicated to RPS with strat forums etc =P

Trying to find out where I read this from, but yea lol spent quite a few hours practicing this when I was 14ish =]
