Any takers?

If you think it's worth discussing, why don't you just say it?


I wanted to see if anyone else noticed. It's about whether a conversation even happens, not just whether it's a majority or minority that hold a certain opinion.

If a few more pages go without notice by maybe I'll offer a hint or two.

Did you notice anything?

I'm blown away by the research attention given to this article (albeit, the New Yorker usually does a good job).

Also, the descriptions of gameplay are made to be palatable to a general public, <3

Practices so little now, I'm sure she didn't get good that way. Watching games and thinking about it is almost as useful as regular practice if you know what you're doing.

But didnt PRO need practice micro and macro?if they practice like 8hours micro/macro they will have better splits with marines or better blink micro like parting or better anti-mine micro as zerg.
And thats why they winning big turnamets.You cant get better micro/macro only by watching vods i think.
Is this true or not?

Well, Scarlett doesn't really win tournaments so there is truth to that I'd assume. Still, it's better to be somewhat successful and not blow out your wrists than to win a few things and then ruin your body (RIP Mvp), it seems like that's what she thinks.

Well it will be interesting know how much other players like snute/bunny practice or Teaja he also have wrist injury and he winning turnamets:D
Btw scarlett wins like 4 major turnamets but still waiting for premier


I know she's won some stuff, I kind of misspoke. I mean she doesn't win big stuff and doesn't really have a chance to. She'd have to be very very lucky to even make Code S, for example. I would bet big money guys like Taeja and Zest and Life don't just practice 3-4 hours a day, and that's the difference really.

Great article. Well-written, well-researched and accurate. I loved the part about Scarlett beating the locals at Chinese chess.

On a side note, it seems like every time I read a mainstream article about Starcraft, it involves Day[9]. He's well on his way to becoming famous, and not just e-famous.

Sean knows how to market himself pretty well, plus he's a very marketable personality for the mainstream to get behind. Pretty glad he's in the community, even if he has a slightly lesser role these days.

For sure. Day[9]'s done more for SC2's growth and popularity than just about anyone else in the scene. He, Husky and HD were the ones who got me into watching SC2 instead of just playing it. If there's to be an official "face of Starcraft", we really can't do much better than Sean Plott.

She played about 20 games per day in the months leading up to IPL4 according to a very old interview that I probably won't be able to find now. That's a lot but there are pros who play even more.

This article was brilliant. It was well written and covers a lot of interesting stuff. My only beef with it is it really kind of presents the idea of Scarlett being the hope for the game and Koreans being the bad guys as a universal opinion among the Starcraft 2 community. Other than that I love it. Thank you so much Ben McGrath!

This has to be the best article on progaming I've ever read in mainstream media. It's very well researched, thorough, entertaining and contains no factual errors. Absolutely worth the long read.

Well, Naniwa ragequit against Polt, not DRG, so there's a minor factual error in there.

I sent them an e-mail about that and they corrected it :D

Might be due to someone else's e-mail as well of course, but it's nice to see that they fixed it.

Ah, very nice. That's the only one I noticed when reading it. Glad it's fixed. Wouldn't want casuals thinking that anyone other than Captain America could force a player into retirement.

Honestly, this article will probably become my go to link when I'm trying to explain SC2/e-sports to someone who has no familiarity with the scene. I mean, it's obviously great for those of us who already love it to see it written about with this sort of insight, intelligence, and commitment to getting all the facts. But for those who don't already know about this stuff I think it's especially helpful, because honestly most gamers/those involved in gaming media are pretty bad about explaining their passions to non-gamers--part of what sets Day[9] apart from most casters and commentators is that he can really appeal to everyone, not just the hardcore, and I think this article is another good example of how to do that well.

I would send this to my family, but... Scarlett. ._. It was also pretty long, but covered a lot of different aspects of the professional scene.
It was a decent read anyway.
