You know something you could add as content would be the equipment that the players are using, mouse and keyboard. Could be interesting. ^^ Edit: now that I think of it, what tournament is that? it's at gomtv no? qualifiers or something? | ||

if there was a such thing as a tap dancing spider, it'd probably look something like Losira's hand. If only he made better decisions while playing D: | ||

Also i think we have found the Zerg version of NaDa? I mean NaDa to me was always the fastest, but looking at this i think we have found a Zerg equivalent? | ||

I have ~140 apm with my terran in an intense game, but shoots up to ~200 when playing zerg! | ||

Losira's EPM is 240-250+, making him among the fastest Zergs in the world. | ||

I also wish things like 'Top Zergs play at 500 average APM' when they straightup don't. If I recall correctly, that fallacy is oft-repeated, and is based on DRG peaking at 550 or something at a moment where the observer had the APM overlayed. Also I remember reading that there were a bunch you took prior to upload, and Losira and Life were both correct. Whoever posted it also mentioned Rain, is this true? If so even MORE love if that were possible. | ||

I don't know if he's faster then others like an DRG or not, but what i will say is his movements are the most beautiful to watch for sure. | ||

At least with APM what you see is what you get, it's not just arbitrarily taking things out. | ||

Some people dream for fame and money, I dream of 2s with KangHo. I shall dream forever I speak to him on twitter every so often. His english (at least in tiny spurts) is pretty good. I suggest this for all your favorite Korean pros, get on twitter and tweet them, short easy to understand english statements. They seem to be very receptive to their english speaking fans and the language barrier seems to make it more exciting. I've tried it with KangHo and Zenio, and both have answered questions, said more than just hello, and been pretty cool guys. | ||

If you multiply it with 1.38, I think there are quite some players which average 400+. Losira having games where he averages 500 doesn't seem that unrealistic. | ||

They're both about the same speed which is blisteringly fast. Yoda has replays of him above 280eapm, which is faster then anyone I've ever seen, including broodwar. | ||

Back when he used to stream, he played Terran a lot, and it was scary how good it was. Also, he played Terran in BW. And from what I've seen, the player with the higher epm wins much more often in TvZ, regardless of the race. I thought about making a graph to show this from the Asus Rog / Dreamhack/ Iem/ MLG replays, but I was too lazy | ||

You can see it clearly from his play as well. | ||

I know they're suppose to be professionals and it's a part of being a progamer. There were several pictures at Reddit that show that I'm pretty far away from them. Korean journalists took them during the qualifier. In fact those journalists are much closer to the players while taking the pictures for their articles and also much more in their face. I never had a single player complain. Most completely forget about me which is why I usually say "Good Job" or "Well done" at the end so that they look in the camera for a second. | ||
