This was honestly my favorite game of SC2 to date, which just recently eclipsed the Scarlett vs. Bomber game with the widow mine hit from Redbull Battlegrounds. Not many were as purely entertaining to me as those two, | ||

Awsome game/move. In my opinion that doesn´t show that the game is broken, it just show´s that a pro can learn an allin with another race. She would be dead in a long macro game, but the race startings, can be handled by every real pro. And, she perfectly knew, what are the week parts of zerg in this phase of the game. It reminds me of the training methodes of (yes i will call this name) voldemo... oh sAviOr. hopefully you can understand me, even with my poor english skills  ps: don´t forget the mind game part in this, it was a high risk to switch and only seems to be easy, because an won allin seems to be easy most of the time. DRG could hold this, but was to confident that he will take this. | ||

When a foreign Zerg "practices a Protoss build a bit" with other foreigners, and that's enough to win against a GSL Champion who reacted perfectly, didn't overdrone, didn't slip with his macro or micro, had tons of queens, lings and a spine in place... There is just something wrong. I don't think this can even be debated. DRG scouted only one gas and should have made a roach warren...he KNEW what was coming, he just underestimated Scarlett and lost because of it. It should have been an easy win, but DRG was just playing stupid; there is literally no point in history where defending with mass slowlings + queens has allowed the Zerg player to get out ahead versus their opponent. | ||

So much this, why DRG lost that game is beyond me, he knew 100% it's a fast gateway attack and he scouted it, but he didn't react correctly. | ||

I have seen countless protoss foreigners with just about zero real accomplishments stomp on top korean players in the history of sc2. The fact that scarlett - a foreigner considered by many to be the best outside of korea - can execute a protoss allin against a top korean zerg should really not be a big surprise and makes you wonder what she is doing playing zerg at all if she is interested in winning. .... It is impressive... You also are neglecting Nestea not scouting it....and im going to correct you again.... NesTea is NO LONGER a top SC2 player. This is a fact and everyone knows it. I am not bashing Nestea but he is far from what he used to be. | ||

I think you mean DRG.. who I am pretty sure was code s in the last season of GSL, so he is indeed worthy of being labelled a "top sc2 player". | ||

I feel like your post began as coherent, then gradually devolved into a series of random words. No offense. I'm interested in hearing how Quake might be similar to Starcraft. Games with an impossible skill ceiling are the only games worth calling games imo. | ||

Skill ceiling implies the best skill that a human can reach, if it's impossible to reach it's no "skill ceiling" but a limit out of bounds of possibility. | ||

There certainly was something wrong with how DRG played since he lost; I don't think this can be debated. | ||

The term skill ceiling itself is stupid, because - as you said - people keep getting better. In everything. Edit: There is no single thing called "skill". A programer needs skill in different fields, like decision making, multitasking, mind games and others. Trying to file them all under the one term "skill" is retarded. | ||
