Really nice,
TLO not only owning SC2 but owning science! ´=D
|
When my dad told me about SC on Daily Planet, I saw a glimpse of TLO and knew it was legit xD
|
I pitched this to Daily Planet when I was there as an intern in May. I worked hard with another researcher to set everything up, but left before I knew if it went through. I'm so happy to see it out there. Thanks Dario and everyone at TL.
A note, daily planet is region blocked to Europe and parts of Asia. Kennigit, if you try to contact the producer who worked with you or perhaps I could try, we might be able to get a permanent link made that isn't blocked.

Please name five German players who are better than TLO. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_StarCraft_II_World_Championship_Series/Europe/Nationals/GermanyIn WCS Germany he placed 9-12th, losing to hasu obs and Jaxx. Players who placed better were Socke, Hasuobs, Darkforce, Krass, Heromarine, DBS, Jaxx and Kara. DBS, Jaxx and Kara are inactive at the moment. so there are 5 people left: Socke, Hasuobs, Darkforce, Krass and Heromarine being significantly better than TLO and still active. I would count Hanfy better too since he won the last german EPS against players like Hasu, Socke and Monchi. That would be 6 players being better. Then there are people roughly at the same level like Delphi and Tarrantius who placed 9-12th too at WCS and Goody which i wouldnt consider definetely inferior to TLO. But well, now that TLO lives in Berlin, Germany he could compete in the next season of the German EPS and show where hes at in the German scene skillwise. These results are 6 months old and TLO has improved a lot during this time. At this current point in time he is definitely one of the best German players. Hes not competing much against German players. Thats true. But what indicates that hes better than socke, hasuobs, darkforce, krass, heromarine or hanfy? He gets invited to a lot of tournaments and he has a big fanbase but thats no reason why I would consider him better. If he wants to be one of the top players in Germany he has to prove it yet. You need to give a reason why he would be better than those people i named. Its unfortunately that Darkforce didnt play WCG, i think he could have placed good. Hasuobs did do well at IEM singapore. TLO gets a lot of exposure everywhere, hes much more present than other players. but thats no indication of skill. TLO went 4-1 in his group at DH Winter, being the only player with HerO to take games off him in the entire tournament, let alone beat him. Now that may not be amazing, but he also beat DIMAGA, Bischu and TargA. That result alone places him above a lot of those players. Also, no offence but Heromarine and Krass are bettter? That's like saying KilleR and Suppy are better than Stephano because they placed higher in BWC. Heromarine and Krass don't have much going for them but a few German tournaments and WCS Germany; TLO competes mainly in international tournaments as opposed to German. Actually, they are becoming really really good now. I remember Hasu losing to Krass several times lately. I'm sure they could be improving, but still, the point was that TLO is a pretty high-tier foreigner. WCS Germany isn't the only viewpoint, and while DH Winter isn't too, you have to admit he's been doing a lot better recently; while KraSs may be getting better, I doubt he'll be able to compete on an international level like TLO does until atleast 2013.

Now to get data from KeSPA players
|
Hahaha, a prof from SFU! I would've been in his class next semester if it wasn't full baaw.
Great feature. I'm glad it was so in-depth and didn't make it seem kind of silly (like XellOs' documentary in '05 for NatGeo.. some parts were fine but the 'GAZILLION FIGHTER JETS' killed me... but then again that was a full-length documentary seven years ago and whatnot).
|
Yeah! That's great exposure, and TLO looks as good as always! I hope it brings more people to sc2. On a side note, I always wondered when cognitive scientist were going to take a peek in the progamer fields, glad they finally began to do so!

Nothing totally cringeworthy. A new milestone for eSports on TV.

Sweet! Go TLO! Go ESPORTS!

Nice study. Now i'm curious about the results... :/
|
Thanks a lot, I was pissing myself laughing at the whole "broke their script" and "we discovered there's players worse than the worst people we have" parts.
|
Oh cool, this was done by one of the local universities around my region. I think the link to the study is:
http://skillcraft.ca/
|
It really seemed like a very positive and pleasant news piece.
It certainly wasn't focused on promoting SC2, but it definitely presented it in a positive light.

Loved it, what did he mean exactly by things are important at low levels that aren't at higher levels? I agree that you shouldn't focus/practice what the pros practice and focus on because there are far more important things for low level players.. but everything a low level player SHOULD be trying to develop is something a pro should be keeping finely tuned. (pylons/probes etc)

after watching his code A qualification games, I just can't say he is a good player at all. He tried to do cool strategies like nydus and roach drop against a mass thor terran and lost completely.
he won a few games because of his scouting (clever scouting for proxy) and base trades. I don't remember he won any by standard games at all

Loved the video! TLO is such a great rep for esports. Thanks for being awesome :D

Would have been awesome if they featured Haypro.
