They sometimes scouted people for quickness in sc1. July was really bad at the game apparently, but because he had quick hands they started training him. He has really good multitasking, but his decision making and micro needs to be refined.

Would love to see this kid break into the bigtimes. I watched the stream of that game and HuK actually sat through the whole replay on his stream etc. He was (apparently) as impressed with Aria's play as everyone else was all things considered. He had to work for that win, and basically won from behind with a couple of archon toilets. Without those, he most likely would've lost, and handily at that.

well we might be seeing a neo-NaDa tbh. remember when NaDa was an amateur and he beat a pro and then went on to win KPGA tours or something? this looks exactly like it.

korean amateurs...shit just got real.

Yeah, this happens a lot in Volleyball too. Height and agility don't usually come together so when they do, teams take them regardless of skill and train them.

I really hope Aria get's some team. He's still in high school so he has the motivation.

Things like streaming are a possibility, but it's all up to him (and his internet which is pretty terrible)

Since he's Korean I suppose by terrible you mean he only has 40/40 mbit fiber net, right? xD

That's what it's usually like, haha. But even his internet in Korea is pretty bad. And when it's being routed to the US, it's pretty bad. A lot of times people with sufficent bandwidth have problems routing to the servers when they are overseas as well. I haven't tried setting up his stream yet so only time will tell. And it's important to mention he may not want to stream. I'm not trying to pressure him at all. Even this interview was completely up to him, and if he doesn't want to stream, he's not going to stream.

I wasn't impressed by his mechanics. I counted 5 different times when husky highlighted over his hatcheries and no inject was going and wouldn't start for quiet some time.

Also, he should have had more expansions and macro hatches when he was 5 base vs 3 base.

Archon toilet is pretty much the lamest thing at the moment, right up there with warp prism sentry drops cutting the main off -.-

Macro != mechanics.

You can have perfect mechanics and still miss injects. Conversely, I played a guy earlier who had near flawless macro (<30energy on all queens at the end of the game) and awful mechanics - little map awareness, multitask, generally poor action efficiency, etc.

People are impressed with Aria because he constantly cycles, has almost flawless map awareness, constant unit movements and a whole bunch of other stuff. Macro is just one part of it which he does pretty well (not perfectly).

Streaming starts to look more and more likely, which is nice. Will work on getting those replays soon.

A lot of speculation about what?

About him being a BW professional player, specifically Jaedong.... In case you didn't read the thread. ^^
