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 .
That's kinda surprising. fOrGG and Hyun aren't perhaps the top level right now but they iddn't seems to have such problems. They took 6 to 8 month to make the switch confortably but they made it. :o

He was absolutely horrible.

A lot of Zergs for example use the exact same hotkeys (korean style is hotkeying single hatches, hotkeying no queens at all, it's very common to reproduce).
+ Show Spoiler +But then again...can you copy Zerg builds? :D

It's just a really shitty trendy thing right now. People won't stop using it until it's not cool anymore, so what can be done by the community or Blizzard to stop this nonsense?

Is there a reason why we should be "mad" about this ? The bws pros aren't gm level yet and they will most likely do inhouse practice... i don't think anyone actually "practices" on korean ladder atm, didn't even Artosis recognize that atm everything that you find there is guys with IIIIIIIllllllllllll names doing 1 very strong and hard to notice all in, im pretty sure he said so a few sotg ago. If people don't want to play ladder other than to all in i say let them do it, more power to the EU and NA ladder, actually anything that makes the KR ladder worse should be a reason to be "happy" cuz it allows NA and EU to at least catch up by having a stronger ladder. And the maphacker problem is not related to this since blizzard does not ban them anyway unless there ban bot "finds" them.

It's the best way to hide your identity and strategies, especially if you share the account.

It would be a lot funnier if they all just used one name for their ladder accounts (as in, one that means something, not symbols)
Would be hilarious seeing KR GM filled with EGIdrA or SlayerS_BoxeR or Bisu names.

Everyone was using smurfs in BW and everyone will use smurfs in KR Ladder when the influx of pro players will increase, instead of hitting 9 average joes out of 10 you will be heating 9 pros out of 10. Blizzard can hide the damn build order lists (its stupid) but the reason for smurfs always will be there. The only people who will go by real nicks will be the one who stream because they care about the ad revenue meaning ladder play is their income.

I doubt you have actually played on korean ladder at all recently, because you are talking absolute rubbish.

Ugh, I hate when people do this and there's no point-click interface for ignoring them -_-

People getting upset that somones name is IIlIlIIlllllll is a bit silly to be honest. However i can understand why some BW pro's might want to keep their identities hidden. Give it a couple of months and this wont be a problem when some of the people behind these names feel more comfortable saying who they are.

Identifying barcode players without good% is really hard but the ones at the top of the ladder can be identified rather easily with a few replays ,then just put a note on them and it's done.

This is what you get when you decided to bring Facebook to Battle.net to shut down anonymity by also not allowing players to have multiple ID's. Which is also a big reason for people's so called ladder fear. I wish you could do like in WC3 and have more ID's.
|
What I don't understand about barcoding is why bother with an unique code at all. With the way Bnet characters are broken right now, everyone could register a character with the name ||||||| and telling one apart from the others becomes that much harder.
|
I guess the only thing you can do is to be anonymous yourself, like ToD says it puts you at a disadvantage if you face these players in tournaments later and you already showed them your playstyle etc. I don't know if we'll see any solution to this other than more barcode users.

I never really considered facebook as contributing to the pandemic of ladder anxiety. I guess that's because I've never had an account on there, though.
I agree about bnet 2.0 being awful in how it restricts peoples ability to just play and improve how they want to. You can't restart, etc.
