Maybe other players are also not streaming enough, so I dont have the full picture of everyone's performance.

He's more like the zerg equivilent of Sterling/incontrol etc. He's not a top tier player, he's good, but hes not top tier, Sjow has won SO many tournaments in Europe, if you're not recognising that, then don't use his name in a post o.O Goody won 3 tournaments just last month and consistantly wins/takes high ranking. Elfi, meh, maybe. | ||

Your repetitive use of 'the player formerly known as ROOT_Destiny' was pretty comical. | ||

Anyone remember Spanishiwa and how much people loved him, hyped him up to the point of ridiculousness? It's similar here. He came up with something that works reasonably well, and rode it out until it died. Unless Destiny gets better at SC2 in general, he will not be able to progress. | ||

I'm also not sure why people call his style one dimensional, yes he uses infestors a lot, but I don't think one day someone is going to wake up and say "Great scott I've got it, here's how to never lose to infestors again!" and then Destiny will fall to bronze league or something. It's just a slightly different unit composition, the mechanics and game sense remain the same. | ||

The OP was insightful, thought-provoking, and a refreshing change of pace from the usual crap-tastically written tripe that most moronic posters bring. Destiny is one of the most popular players outside of Korea right now and he doesn't have a team-- this thread is highly relevant. So, basically, what I'm saying is, keep stupid posts like that to yourself. | ||

To be honest, I don't see the point of this thread. Destiny has a good potential, that's true. But the decision to get him in a good team relies on his decision, on the perspectives he offers for the team... | ||

Whether it be on 1 base or 2base isn't really important, he does it just in a gimmicky style(doesn't scout and just goes blindly for lair etc). Maybe I'm too harsh calling it gimmicky but this is how I feel about that. Let's not start a balance discussion or ingame-discussion as this is not the topic. It's just my opinion that he wins greatly because of the reason that he has this gimmicky playstyle around the infestor. As soon as I see him playing solid playstyles and everything and still have decent success I'll change my mind. @jacksonjackson86: Yea right. Right now, people still didn't quite figure out how to beat this style. But they will eventually, and if Destiny doesn't adapt soon enough he'll be "caught off guard" pretty bad... 2base colossi. Sound familiar? 2base muta. Sound familiar? So, how is 2base infestor gimicky? I do not know why are you so sure that infestor play will be hardcountered in any future?! It is just another tactic that works if the player does it well enough. Destiny beat some good Toss with this but lost to Socke and some others using this style. | ||

No, just no. They are very good at starcraft 2, especially Goody and Sjow. Goody's and Sjow's multitasking is not as good as of other top players, but they are better than many other players on the highest level in terms of decision making (openings, building/unit placement, attack timings, expansion timings, unit movement, etc. <- all those things make you "good at starcraft 2"). | ||
