Number of reasons... -Their PC can't handle the high end graphics and maintain a good framerate -Some feel its easier to see what is happening in the game with simpler graphics (ie. no crazy lighting effects distracting or even blocking smaller units, energy levels... etc) -Some are just used to "bad" graphics from broodwar and are simply more comfortable because of that on low settings | ||

With out the option of late game storm is it causing players to rely more on upgrades and WG armies for late game potential then they had before? Just a thought that I have had since the patch and results from GSL & MLG. Anyone else agree? They are still OP. | ||

I couldn't read exactly what he typed because the stream quality was shit, but it was something to the effect of: "gg, wp, it was an honor playing you" "gg wp, you are a fantastic player and good luck in the remainder of the tournament" | ||

Any workers that try to mine from that patch will instead move to another one which has less workers, therefore reducing the amount of patches that your opponent can mine for a short period of time. | ||

I think a lot of the pros that play on low setting are old SC1 players who probably prefer less intensive graphics since they aren't playing the game for the pretty graphics, but for the competitive aspect and playing on low settings means less chance of being distracted by the more "busy" and intensive graphics. During beta I think a lot of people felt playing on low settings was more beneficial for this reason. Nowadays I think the attitude is it doesn't really make a huge difference but Idra has stated at this point he's just so used to it it would feel weird switching to medium or high settings. Personally I just really prefer the way the game looks on medium or higher settings, the ugliness of the low settings is a distraction in itself IMO. I was having issued with my graphics card crashing a lot during SC2 and I've found playing on low settings eliminated the issue with my card crashing so that may be another reason.. disconnecting in the middle of a game is always frustrating. Although lately I haven't been having problems so I'm playing on medium which I think is a good compromise since it looks almost as good as high (low is like a different game, med & high are about the same) and it's less stress on my graphics card. | ||

Does this serve an actuall goal or is it just a fancy way to show off micro? the point is that only one worker can be mining off a patch at a time so if his probe is mining from a patch that means none of the opponent's SCV's can mine from that patch. So it effectively shuts that patch off from mining for 3-4 seconds or however long. If you stop before the probe actually harvests the minerals, you can keep picking at the patches denying mining for the SCV's. really stuff like this doesn't make much of a difference, but it provides a miniscule edge and at the top level pros want to take advantage of any edge they can get because small things like this can add up.. | ||
