BUT! around 10 mins into the interview (2nd part) he says that human brains are designed to do one thing at a time and that is it. he says this to justify that you can't really think while playing. this is completely not true, the human brain is built to parallel process. | ||

Finally got around to listening this. Highly recommend everyone watch it to get rid of some of your preconceived notions. -.- There are a few things I would like to touch base on in reply to qxc's thoughts. 10m-13m of the 2nd video: creativity versus playing by the book. This ties into how new BW pro's enter the fray. You have one safe build to master. You don't deviate from the build until you master it as it is your foundation; there is no going against the grain. You only improvise and start building your star sense once you've mastered that build. Star sense can come with time and patience. Players learn to adapt/improvise from this model. That's but one principle of the BW regime. | ||

When you multitask one thing runs in the forward (conscious) brain, and others run in the background. In this way yes you can quickly switch between doing multiple things at once, and the unconscious does 'think' or at least process so you can run in parallel. However, you are still only committing a part of your brain to task 1 as some of it is being used for task 2. Because of this the depth of thought / analysis that can be achieved while doing multiple tasks isn't as great as just focusing on one thing for hours. For a pro trying to create new game knowledge, doing one thing at a time seems to be more efficient. | ||

If you sift through some of the post win interviews from Koreans, they ALWAYS mention and thank players on other teams for helping with practice. This rarely, if ever, happens with foreigners. | ||

PS. As far as networking and finding practice partners is concerned: it should be obvious to the community by now that the best players always find the best practice partners to help them. In post match interviews for gsl games, gsl finals, etc. in every interview the players list and thank their practice partners, and rarely are they only players from their own team. | ||

As for the the timeline analogy/associating a race's characteristics with a player, I agree 100% as well. I mean, think how at the beginning of the game, it was generally considered that 14/14 was the best opening for any ZvX matchup. Now if you early pool against a Terran, it's nearly suicide. Obviously some patches have changed the game very dramatically, but that's basically what it is. Looking back at Brood War again, think about the era of the 6 Dragons. There was a VERY long period where Bisu was nearly unbeatable, and then the other races adapted and then Protoss started slumping. QXC's description of the Terran Bio Ball being "you make Marines, Marauders, Medivacs, then hit T and everything dies" is the most straightforward way of saying that it's just innately easier to have that sort of unit composition at this current stage in the game's development. | ||
