From what I saw, he won't be master in EU with his actual level either. Nevertheless, I really admire what he did so far. I'm pretty sure blizzard is very attentive to this new way of playing, but playing with a game controler will always be dedicated to casual gaming, such as FPS on console. | ||

Obviously a gamepad is harder to get used to than a mouse, but it can technically perform all of the same tasks at the same speed. | ||

I've always believed that nothing is impossible, you can master any tool given to you. With a high enough sensitivity and keen enough eyesight, a gamepad can do anything a mouse+keyboard can do. I think you'll get there if you try hard enough. See, that's really an issue of the limitation of the person being used to the hardware, and not the hardware itself.

The thing is that a guy practicing on a pad in a million years will be no close to the accuracy, control and speed that mouse and keyboard bring. | ||

You're wrong when you say it can't, because the analog stick has the same capacity for quick micro in the hands of an AI. The only limitation is the synergy between the analog stick and its user. No doubt it's ridiculously hard to approach mastery of such a device for playing SC2, but it's silly to assume it to be impossible. | ||

Yes the best players right now use keyboard/mouse. What offends me is that the people here seem to believe that the only way to be good at Starcraft is to perfectly mimic Stephano or MC or MVP. Starcraft's beauty comes from it's intricacies and how a person's personality shines through their play. This man comes along, clearly massively talented (honestly, how many of you thought getting to masters with a controller was impossible before this thread?), and all anybody has to say is that it is impossible. Don't you guys see that having different people playing differently is how the community, the strategic base, the knowledge of the game evolves? Stop being a pile of giant pricks. Just as a reminder to anyone that didn't read my previous post, I am newly GM on SEA. GM on sea is like being the best worst player. None of the good sea players even play on sea, even a diamond can get gm on sea. Last time I played on sea I got rank 1 gm in 3 days it's ridiculous. Stop acting like your opinion is weighted more just because you can get gm on the easiest server. | ||

If a controller works for you, that's awesome. I don't see why it wouldn't be similar to using a mouse and keyboard. The only baseline comparison that we have for SC and a controller was SC on N64. Considering you have 2 joysticks instead of one, and more buttons at your disposal it makes sense that an XBox controller would work better than an N64 one (also, multi-building selection and larger control groups probably help). Whether or not Cress makes it to GM will clearly have more to do with actual skill at the game than the viability of using a controller to play in the first place. Why not just update the OP of the original thread? | ||

I guess you could do it by perfecting a cheese for each MU, but does that actually make you a GM level player... | ||

How is that racist? The man is telling the truth, and the truth is SEA is an easy server because no notable players play on it. When global play came out, how many people where happy about playing on SEA? maybe the salty players that couldn't get past diamond on their native server which would make sense. Other than that, SEA server is terrible practice and its really nothing to be all happy about when getting gm on it ._. (no offense of course to SEA players, but it's the truth) | ||
