I know what your referring to by saying i dont "take constructive criticism well" but thats wrong. The problem is when people just try to TELL me what to do like they are the better player without having any evidence of backing it up. For example, if someone says "You should have built cannons" without ANY explanation, I'm not going to listen to him. Or if someone says "Your just a newb for losing to speedlings". That in no way is constructive criticism. So yeah, I don't handle those types of comments well and unfortunately, the bulk of my comments consist of one of those examples, so most of the time it would seem that I'm not "taking constructive criticism well". But IMO that's not constructive criticism. If someone actually has something thoughtful to say, approaches me in an appropriate, non-condescending manner, and backs up their information (which some people do do!) then I will most certainly take what they have to say into consideration | ||

I always wondered why you didnt leave a few units up on the ramp? Just in case, OR build a pylon to block at a vulnerable time and just cancel it before it completes, sure you lose a few minerals but your ramp is protected for long enough to get an ff up and deal with it :D Yeah, those games are always really painful haha. Leaving a few units behind or building a pylon are both great ideas, but I have actually choosen to leave my whole entire army behind nowadays hahaha. I've learned my lesson one too many times, so now if I see that my opponent has speedlings, I just camp and expo. The logic behind this is, they spent the extra mins/gas on researching zergling speed, as well as wasting larvae on zerglings instead of drones. So even if you expand later and don't put pressure on them, your still going to be about even since he has no drones Hope you tune in when I start streaming the official game :D | ||

He still has a lot to learn (as we all do) but being a mid platinum player, I learn a lot watching him. Yeah absolutely, you can have a low APM as long as you have a high QPA (quality per action). And I think i display that quite well. I believe my APM is only in the 70-80 range. And I do have a lot to learn, but thats why I practice atleast 4 hours a day haha! Thanks for watching!

And yes I am going to a midnight launch, and I'm EST so I'll have it first :D I will definitely play my placement matches and stream them the second I get home! ONLY 34 HOURS TO GO!!! | ||

Its one thing if you actually had something to contribute to the community but your stream is pretty horrid and full of ego. You're only a mid level diamond player. just my 2 cents. Make it a blog if you want to be like this I'm not self advertising, this will be moved to the stream forum section and is going to be MY PERSONAL stream thread.... It's just waiting to be moved. And I dont like your kind of blantant disrespect. If you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all I have a lot to contribute... I try to help gamers everyday, i give lessons, i cast tournaments, i host Big TV, i host KOTHs, I contribute a lot IMO. And my stream is one of the best looking on tl.net. And I dont have any ego whatsoever... Im actually very humble and realize that I'm no where near the pro level HOWEVER I am a HIGH LEVEL (top 1 or 2) diamond player, not mid level  Atleast you know who i am though! I have no idea who you are haha.On July 26 2010 03:04 vyyye wrote: BigTV is one of the reasons that moved me from copper to diamond. Hell, I remember my first ever 'practice games' (me and mate watching Day9 and tried to 'learn' rather than 'play' ) went to hell because we simply didn't have the game knowledge to properly practice. Ended up with me doing Nonys 2gate stargate build (with poor execution, mind you) and I didn't lose a game. We played quite a few but the thought of blink stalkers or anything never occured to us. Watched this stream later and there was about 20-30 minutes of "Ask questions and I'll answer". Asked about countering a phoenix build and BigT just showed a replay where he faced the exact same build. Sure enough, the counter should've been obvious but wasn't for me and my mate (never played BW either), after that we played around with it again but this time the winning streak of the phoenix build was halted. Definitely learnt a lot from this stream, not to mention it's entertaining. Subtle rage and the almost overconfident attitude of the streamer with the commentary keeps it from being like 80% of the streams out there (looking at you godawful music streams/people with microphones who spend more time breathing into it than actually commentating). Keep it up, dude. Wow, gotta love this!! This is why i stream folks! Thanks vyyye for taking the time to write this, it's awesome! I'm glad I could help you and your mate out and look forward to further helping you and anyone else you wants it when the game is officially released! Thanks again man, that means a lot to me. | ||

When I'm not playing on ladder, it's relaxing to watch BigT play and see what kind of strategies and builds that work well. My personal favorite is probably the KOTHs and it's probably one of my favorite streams on TL. Keep it up. Thanks for the support Valor, your the man :D PS I will be doing A LOT more of the Q&A, going over the basics, and slowing down and explaining all of my games when the official game is released than I did in the beta. The beta consisted of a majority of RTS gamers who already had a sense of how to play, but when the official game is released, there will be a lot more newbs learning how to play that I will be trying to help out! | ||

You're gaming skills are fine. I wouldn't bother looking over your mechanics, since your placement kinda already states that you know how to make probes. But the way I see it, when you do make mistakes, you overreact when people aren't nice about it. Do you think White Ra tells people "If you dont have anything nice to say dont say it at all" when he does a silly mistake and people call him out on it in "mean" ways? My biggest problem with the caster is that he hasn't seemed to decide what kind of personality he is. Are we going to be super-confident in our skills/abilities? Then why complain about criticism? If you're that good and confident, we should be able to see you take what at first appears to be bad advice "build cannons" and explore exactly why it's good/bad. The peanut gallery has no obligations to give you criticism just the way you like it. I just don't think the caster themselves has decided what kind of personality to go for. "I'm humble", yet, "Atleast you know who i am though! I have no idea who you are haha." Doesn't seem very humble to me. The playstyle isn't bad. But I think if you really want to be successful, you should really take into consideration how you're going to respond to your audience, and how that response makes you look to others. Right now I know you're a decent player, but there are tons of decent players out there with streams. Your personality is what is going to sell, and personally, as a stream watcher, I'm getting mixed signals about who you are. You seem confident, yet can't take any kind criticism that isn't sugar-coated. Your internet/streaming persona is not the same as your RL one. You have to walk the line between "hey this me as I normally am" and selling us an image of who we want to see/hear from. Day9 doesn't go around arguing with people about giving him criticism. I think he's a bit more professional than that. I would think anyone, Husky, HD, etc. would rather have negative comments than none, because it shows people are paying attention. I think once the persona gets a little solidified the stream will have a much wider audience. Which is what you want if you're casting to educate/make people better. Remember, a lot of the time the people who will be giving you "negative" criticism are probably worse players than you who are just taking the opportunity to point out a hole in the play of someone else. I mean, look at every replay in which White Ra or Huk or Tester loses, people /pounce/ on their mistakes. Of course, these people will never admit to being worse players (why would people watch streams of people worse than them? And if they're such awesome players, they would have explained their reasoning anyways). Don't treat them as people of equal skill who are critiquing your play. That's not your audience. Treat them like noobs. Take the criticism seriously no matter the form. Viewer A- "BUILD MORE CANNONS NUUUUUUB!" Mr.Big-T- "I see some people suggesting cannons, the reason I didn't go cannons here is because I needed the money more zealots because I saw there was a window in his timing that I could abuse." Now you sound like a confident, intelligent, skilled player who not only plays decently, but can explain the reasoning behind every one of their moves. If you can explain why you did/did not do this based on x, y and z, you accomplish many things. You educate, show your knowledge, and show that you can take any question seriously, even if it's some dumbass spamming "cannons!" in your chat. That's my advice. At the least it sounds better than complaining about the feedback IMO. I empathize with you, I just don't think it's the best way to interact with the audience. | ||

You people need to learn to keep your opinions to yourself. There's a difference between constructive criticism and your personal opinion. Learn the difference and keep your opinions to yourself. Again I quote Day[9], "There is no reason to prove your right over the internet". With that being said, true constructive criticism that isn't just someone trying to prove they are right (ie. the guy above me) I do actually take quite well. I love talking about about theorycraft and ways to handle different situations and how to improve. It just seems like you guys don't know what your talking about because most of the shit I get IN NO WAY RESEMBLES CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. And one last thing since I did read the first two paragraphs haha. I wasn't saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all" to someone trying to give me constructive criticism, I was saying it to that guy saying he doesn't like me. So again, get your facts straight. And I'm allowed to write back because this is MY THREAD PS Who are all these guys flaming my threads? haha. | ||

But i went ahead and took your advice and didnt read most of your reply (in case this post does not make sense, maybe you made good points too).. It is ironic though that you say you dont care, its internet, and then post a wall of your own, even with caps:D On July 26 2010 08:47 BigT wrote: @ Cpt.Nasty: Yeah I'm not even reading all that haha. From the words of Day[9] himself, "There is no reason to prove that your right over the internet". Look how much time you devoted into trying to prove your point, no one cares, keep it to yourself. That's why I get mad. All you people are trying to do is show the world that your right. Sorry to break it to you but NO ONE CARES!!! . Anyway, not putting you down, gl to you, but that wasn't very mature of you | ||
