EPTAce: For terran, their early/base units are too strong. Protoss late game tech is very good, but it's not like terran late game tech is bad either. The balance of the game is where it's at right now because of the strong early terran units. In terms of map balance, there's somewhat of a balance, but they really need modifications. I think zerg is the worst race currently. I was a zerg player as a BW pro gamer so I play zerg a lot and think about the race. Compared to bw, zerg fills up to 200/200 much faster, so if any of their base units receive buffs, zerg may become imbalanced. However right now, their current base units are too weak that there isn't much merit in a maxed out zerg army. I think how they deal with zerg will overall determine the balance of the game.

Except for the computers and comfy computer chairs I have been in apartments of illegal aliens that looked very similar to this here in the United States . They even have someone to cook and clean for them its called their Aunt. Buy these guys some beds and they need their own rooms or at least two to a room. Don't know why anyone from the wealthier countries would want to go sleep on the floor and live like this for any computer game. I think thats just a curtual thing, if im not mistaken sleeping on the floor is quite common in korea, and often their living places comes with floor heating. I also think its note worthy to remember that sleeping on the floor (given that the floor is properly heated and clean) its more benefitial to your health then to sleep in a very soft bed. For me the most depressing was the life style, i like starcraft, but man, it just looked depressing playing all day long like that. Im not trying to offend anyone, thats just how i feel. | ||

How do you beat people who are willing to sacrifice eight or nine years of living like that. Some people like being inside. Just because you can't imagine doing what they do doesn't mean that it's a bad lifestyle for them. After all, you're essentially turning your hobby into your job, you live with people who share that passion and the whole team spirit thing is definitely a nice thing too. Of course, there's downsides, but with SC2 being a lot less demanding on the mechanics side and no KeSPA, this whole thing seems a lot more relaxed. | ||

Just because you don't see how they do it doesn't mean your life is better or more fun. People enjoy life how they want too they enjoy theirs playing sc2/bw all day. | ||

I do wonder though, those progamer houses, all you see is them being silent minding their own practice. Do they even talk to eachother about BO's/TimingAttacks/Whatever besides lunch? I feel that if they got together and sit around a table for some time everyday discussing such things it would bring so much more motivation to the players themselves. Maybe it's happening already, correct me if I'm wrong. edit;typo | ||

How do you beat people who are willing to sacrifice eight or nine years of living like that. Life is subjective. One persons enjoyment is another's disdainment. That said, personally, I don't know why they have a shared house when it would be better to pay them a salary and have them come in to work like any other profession. I would hate to be eight to a house -- and I would hate to not be able to bring a girl home. I personally enjoy gaming, and I would love to get paid to have fun (and 8 hour gaming sessions is short even for me). Also, the Korean style is frankly highly inefficient. I think people highly underrate morale and motivation. You coop up ten people to a small confined area and they aren't going to be as efficient or work as hard as say a company which employs ten people, pays them a salary and gives them more freedom of choice and room to work in. If you aren't having fun, you aren't going to play as well -- just a fact in any activity you engage in. The main reason Koreans are better than others in the game is because of the monetary factor. Once that expands more in the west expect to see as good of and if not better players than Koreans. American's aren't bred to be the best Baseball players in the world -- it is because we have the best monetary incentive to become the best, thus we are the best. Same with any sport. PS: I am an INTJ and quite introverted (this does not mean anti-social by the way), and I enjoy being alone or with a select few people. It is just my personality type and I can't change it. It is roughly 2% of the population and we happen to be the most geared for analytical, scientific, more solo oriented activities. Of course we enjoy things say, an ENTP wouldn't. Doesn't mean the ENTP has a better life than an INTJ, just means that each person enjoys different things -- its the beauty of freedom and subjectivity. | ||
