Well it's not really about the style that he played in the video xD More about his actions regarding Keyboard/Mouse | ||

There should really be more focus about the physical skills it takes to play this game in esports coverage.

IMO. I find going gateway heavy is a hell lot of more fun and rewarding, and is more micro-oriented. You can't mess up your FF's/blink or you'll get overrun by zerg/mmm, instead of just getting powerful dps units like the colossi. | ||

No Kespa players stream. Flash is going to as part of the Twitch deal, but don't expect serious games. | ||

They obviously do not have 300+ effective APM and I'm not sure why anyone would care about a base APM number. I highly doubt either of those players has higher eAPM than Rain. | ||

I've probably spent thousands of hours watching all the top protoss streams and rain would rank up there as among the fastest. A lot of people may look faster because they're flailing their mouse around or wasting a lot of actions, or aren't as good at using camera hotkeys and frantically scroll around all over the place, but that doesn't mean they're getting more done. | ||

Which mouse is he using? the mico? I'm guessing you can't include gear in the description because a lot of these players using gear not from their sponsor? Just wondering. | ||

Another point in my view is that his APM is more on his mouse than keyboard. People tend to focus os keyboard and think that "machine gun" sound (tatatatatatatatat) = APM. Im my opinion people should watch again and focus on his mouse. Its beautifull. | ||

"New Meta"' Stalker timings have been the meta ever since Neo Planet S got into the mappool. They are insanely hard to hold, as they turn whatever defenders advantage you have against you. | ||

I simply don't know which gear they are using most of the time. When I record videos I record as many as I can during the day and kinda lose track to be honest. Usually the comments figure out the hardware specs quite soon after I uploaded the video | ||
