edit: he plays at a diamond level, and is a very strong macro player.

Does not compute.


Xbox controller? He probably has masters level macro with keyboard.

This makes no sense, playing computer games with controllers when u have access to keyboard and mouse, that its more easier and precise.

In fact it could be the other way around, you can see why the eagle eyes was born (device that lets you connect keyboard and mouse to xbox/ps3)

He must have excellent mechanics though, imagine what he could do with more flexible control.

Surprisingly I first got hooked into Starcraft 64, despite how shit the controls were for that game and how slow everything was.

Good times.

Oh and RTS is historically been not good on consoles because of the lack of controls. You can't possibly play SC2 without dumbing down the controls.


Same for Shooters, but in Shooters they get an soft Aimbot and for rts - well something similar. A cheat for PC but for Toys total fair and wanted.


I am pretty sure you can turn off the auto assist in many shooters, I do it sometimes.

Playing with a controller actually doesn't seem that bad if I think about it, you have ten buttons (up, down, left, right, back, start, A, B, X, Y), R3+R4 for left/right click, and could multiply your buttons by four by holding down triggers + buttons. Not sure how his mapping is different, but it's basically the same thing as a keyboard, but there's contrast between mouse + joystick.

he only has such a small army at 34:00? and still on 2 bases? wtf?

is this really diamond league he's playing against? i regularly play plat players that are better than what he's facing. that single viking mineral line harass is really, really cute by his T opponent.


Thinking the same thing. He's probably lying about his league just to get more publicity.

To get that out of my system, I will rewatch the IdrA vs Bomber games from MLG.

I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

Been working on some peripherals to help out something like making my drum pedal as a couple extra buttons for the key board or using it for hotkeys. Still working on it though

I still have nightmares...

Also, remember Halo Wars? That was fucking terrible

But if it works for your friend, than sure, no one's stopping him, rock on.

Does not compute.


along with playing sc2, there are several principles you gotta work on, to become a better player

multitasking
macro
micro
choice-making

he has multitasking and macro down, and you learn choice-making kind of, as you rank up in the ladder. and micro is something people can always work on, so if you saw these 4 principles as bars on a graph, his macro would be his highest attribute. the rest just kind of... get worked on.

funny thing is that starcraft for the N64 had the same dulled down mechanics that we see in sc2 now LOL ~____~
