I was intrigued to read this in another topic...

6 carriers is still instant win for the lower 80% of the starcraft players.
Most reader on this forum are gosu and can spot a "low ground unit count" and micro goliaths like gosu, but that doesn't change the fact that carrier can be considered instant -win in this game...
luck is not a factor


...That's a pretty bold statement to make, not just because I changed the font to bold. Is anyone here confident enough to think that because they are in the 20% bracket of better Starcraft players think they could beat a real gosu (the big names) like Savior, Iloveoov, Nalra, Boxer, July, Nada... you get my point, say on Lost Temple, even once? Even Sen struggled to win a single game, and excluding South Korean progamers he's in the top 1%. I know that's not what the OP was saying, but I just think he took the title gosu in vain and blasphemed.

Poll: Is Savior your bitch?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No
(Vote): I fucking voted yes but after reading the question more carefully and realising it wasn't the same as the topic question actually meant no

Edit: fuck, I just realised my grammatical error in the last option, as there is actually no difference in the answers despite the questions being different.

Perhaps back in the day when I was active, I could get lucky on good positions if they missed a proxy gate attempt. Vs casy. :>

Otherwise, I simply wouldn't have a chance. The top tier foreigners get crushed and I would get crushed even harder. That's a reality.

yes but only because I like stastics.
IE maybe there's a .0000001% that when I'm playing savior he breaks his wrist, or falls asleep, or get's distracted by a hot girl. If we play enough games, it'll happen eventually. Tortiose ftw over the hare!
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

If I played a pro like 100 games in a row, maybe he'd get tired and lose to a cheese rush or something.

But seriously, it's well known that Korean pros are way better than the foreigners.

I think d4d's use of "gosu" was relative; i.e. he probably meant "gosu among foreigners" (and probably not including the top-tier foreigners either, but just that TL regulars would probably whoop the average pubbie). IMO, you overreacted to his words.

Carriers are so easy to beat by any regular ffa player its not funny.

Wraiths. gollies.
Arb. Goon/storm. Scouts.
Plague+ensnare/(add any other anti air zerg unit here including 12 scourge > 6 plagued carrier -_-)

I can't believe 80% of players can't beat 6 carrier.

And I don't think anybody in tl.net can expect to beat savior with more than 5% win record. (Thats only if you are testie caliber.)

i was just taking the piss out of his word choice, it's like if you were in a Christian circle and called yourself a "god" (of say, baseball or whatever) they'd think it was hugely offensive even though you didn't mean it in a holy way

Even top foreigner like draco testie sen or pj can hardly win a single game vs a pro who plays 100%
so I think, we ( tlner users) would be crushed easily by pro

Are we on LAN or Bnet? I might have a chance on Bnet to beat mumyung, but I dunno about on LAN or with any decent progamer =P.

I think that I could probably beat Savior + Nada at the same time

You overreacted, gosu doesn't even mean the best these days, it simply means good. People say someone is gosu and they just mean the person is good.

In a MU where we would play 300+ games together and I 4-pooled every single time, I think I might score 1 game.
