Lucifron's HotS career died the moment the Hellbat was nerfed. A lot of his victories (especially in ATC) relied on dropping that unit on enemy mineral lines.

As for VortiX, he was a bona fide patchzerg who has not yet managed to secure another big breakout performance.

Good pickup for Mousesports. Also it will be nice to see Dear at more foreign events now.


Koreans in foreigner teams = practice for foreigners is a myth.
Stop saying that. Both the Koreans and the foreigners do 99% of their practice time on ladder.


Everyone has the impression that Koreans joining foreign teams means better practice partners for foreigners, but that's not always the case. Liquid for example, does not have a team house and none of the players have lived together since oGs-TL and EG-TL houses. Of course there was a time when Jinro, HerO, and TLO got a house together in Korea, but can you really count that as a gaming house?

Of course we can't really say how much practicing goes on behind the scenes when the pros aren't streaming and tweeting. You never know!

I think it was time for mouz to sign a Korean player if they want to come back as a top foreign team. And acquiring Dear is a great way to boost your way up to that.
But I don't think that acquiring Dear will help the players from mouz nor the foreign scene unless mouz builds a team house in Europe and that Dear comes to practice in Europe on the EU ladder. But that could also cause Dear's level to decrease in the long run…

If that's true then no one practices more than 5 hours a day, and almost everyone practices under 4.

edit:

http://www.sc2ranks.com/ and sort by wins. It takes around 4-5 hours to play 20 games, and the season started around 40 days ago.

Notice that everyone has under 800 games played, and the majority of players have much less than that. The GM average seems to be under 400 games, which is around 10 ladder games a day.

So either progamers play lots of customs, or they practice much, much less than 8 hours a day.

Yup. I watch SC2 like I watch basketball. I watch WCS Korea for the NBA-style best of the best against each other. I watch foreign tournaments for the same reason I watch the US national team, to see one dominant country beat the crap out of hapless foreigners.

Wow, that's unexpected! But still, foreign teams seem to have the upper hand when it comes to stability lately.

sc2gears multi-rep analysis shows average game is 12-15 minutes real time. even if people play really long games it would be like a 20 minute real time average, which still puts 800 games a season (which no one in top GM has) at well under 8 hours a day of practice.

Thanks for your useless comment, by the way.

Don't worry then, you'll get that in 2014. At EVERY tournament in 2014. RIP foreign sc2.

Oooh, that's the greatest free-fall I've seen on Aligulac. Just amazing, it's almost completely vertical, as almost all the games are 0-X losses in an offline environment.

I won't even begin to discuss why a call for a source backing up a claim isn't a useless comment...

Talking about Lucifron / Vortix, are there any semi-big big tournaments in Spain apart from what ESL and DH organize from time to time? Liquipedia only lists LVP, but the last tournament in that series concludes over half a year ago.

It is a great pick up but i don't except that Dear will train much with his new teammates. I sure hope they will do, or they will at least talk about strategy and exchange buildorders, but the language barrier is quite high, especially when Dear just about now starts to learn english. but we will see what the future holds, nevertheless a great pick up for mouz which hopefully will pay off.
