he means the 1234512345 patterns that you spam and what hotkeys you bind to what buildings/units.

unless you are suggesting that they use autohotkey to rebind 1 to 7 and then rebind 7 to 1 in game, but that sounds ridiculous.

Koreans actually care about no GG, its' weird. I play shitloads of KR ladder, sometimes they'll ask after a game I F10 + N out of for me to gg them.

Rawr!

And yea a lot of the barcodes do not GG at end of game. It also does definitely feel like a lot BW pros are playing SC2 because I've hit people who make dumb decisions but have ridiculous mechanics, particularly the Zergs.

Oh I thought they meant something like 'allow barcodes also to live' and was slightly confused
I read '바코드도 살자' instead of '바코드 도살자', but that makes more sense lol

actually not saying gg doesnt matter to me, but being completely anonymous is such a weapon, they can build up their knowledge against against me and figure out me style since they know who i ma , whereas since i never know who im playing and when i meet people in tournaments, i will have no clue about their style etc, whereas they will already know a lot about me since they were anonymous all this time and i wasnt.

Not really weird, SC became a part of their culture (kinda) GGing means more(BM and insults aswell) to them than to average NA/EU Joe.

I don't think that's really necessary. GTR's point is technically true, but with thousands of players called llllllllll, it's still prohibitively difficult to find a particular player's replays, even after you've got their hotkey signature. You need to search for all replays by high-level players with that name and the race you're looking for, then you need to either parse or manually go through all of the replays looking for people with identical signatures. The work involved in identifying a single Flash replay, for example, would be ridiculous, so even though it's technically possible, practically I don't think we're going to see a lot of leaked replays from hotkey signatures.

If I was a pro Korean I'd barcode the crap out of my name as well. When you practice ladder you can actually practice real builds without being studied.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I remember when all the broodwar pro's were smurfing on iccup and they got busted insta through hotkey patterns. Poor Bisu even switched up his hotkeys to stay anonymous but it still didn't work lol.

Boy, even fomos got disgusted with barcodes in KR ladder. I thought it was only me. GTR said things about hotkey patterns but shit will get a lot more difficult for shared barcodes.

On the other hand, BW progamers who recently started to practice SC2 are feeling hopeless because current skill standard among pre-existing SC2 players is so high that it is too arduous to catch up.
Because the team security (in terms of revealing identity and skills) became so crucial the BW players are only practicing between the team members and there is absolutely no communication nor a collaboration with other teams.

Original Source can be found on http://www.fomos.kr


this makes me happy :D , BW fans should stop saying sc2 is easy

If only that had anything to do with the relative difficulty of SC2. The only way of relegation from Grandmaster is player's bonus pool exceeding some 3 digit threshold number (which won't happen to most people in the GM anyway).

More off-topic:

Speaking of relative difficulties though, people rumored to be ex-BW progamers once were pretty high in GM with very high percentage winrate and relatively lower amount of games. (Z)EffOrt and (Z)1a2a3a[fOu] were 2 of them. Speaking of that, I haven't seen these accounts on the ladder ever since, there is a high probability that rumors are correct.

Even more off-topic:

If you watch BW replays of current SC2 pros, you see that they are extremely weak in comparison (sC, Sage, Leenock etc. I watched these named 3 and god damn they look weak). Slipping in BW in management, race-specific unit micro (Mutalisk, shuttle-reaver, vulture etc...), base simcity (sC had an awful base simcity), caster control (no need to be Leenock to control defilers that badly, I can do that on my own too); they could only become SC2 progamers because SC2 has these features a lot easier (maximum of 255 units in a control group, mbs, smart casting, building grids, micro being relatively easier by a huge margin in SC2). Does this make SC2 harder or easier?

Even if BW pros are hiding behind those 'bar codes' I don't think it's such a big deal until they reveal themselves. "No gg" thing is a bit worrying and shouldn't happen, but for me the most important thing is (if they're really BW players) they should take their time training and after that destroy the scene with their mechanics and game sense.

So they didn't all get insta-GM, doesn't mean anything really. But cool to know. The phrase accidentally also implies that some *did* get GM already, which for such a short period and still not even understanding the game is quite the feat.

Blizzard maybe can implement an option like "Dont show my id in ladder games" and show "Player 1 \ 2" .
So, will be a solution, with no stupid emulations by bbks ("Player 1 its not so "trendy").
