Hi everyone, I'm KnowMe, a german Grandmaster Protoss currently playing for NEXMultigaming and I present to you my new replay pack .
The pack contains 239 replays representing my complete first week of HotS, including games against players like Welmu, ForGG, Heromarine, and also some Go4Sc2, Zotac, and Sc2CL matches. In the end of the beta me and a few of the top german players met for a bootcamp so I had some good preparation for the release of the game.
In the first night I had some problems with the new version of the game. The result were several disconnects in the placement matches. For that reason I was placed in silver league. In addition it took me some time to practice gateway openings in PvZ, and to figure out how to stop drops and mines in PvT etc.
If you are only interested in very high level play, you should skip to the replays of the last few days. Yesterday night I reached #1 GM before I went to sleep so at least some of the games should be worth watching .
You can download the replays here: http://sc2pro.de/nexKnowMe replay pack.zip
I'm streaming almost every day so if you happen to have questions about my builds just visit http://www.twitch.tv/youbetterknowme and feel free to ask. Till now I spoke in German most of the time on my stream but I'm always glad to practice my English and especially French skills.
If you happen to enjoy the replays, me and my team would love to hear about it https://twitter.com/YouBetterKnowMe http://www.facebook.com/KnowMeSc2 http://www.facebook.com/pages/nexmultigamingde/490086094363747

Jeez, 239 replays in first week? Nice. Thanks man, definitely downloading since I just lost a billion games in a row and dont much want to play right now.
|
this is pretty good, i'm never gonna catch up to your level xp now
|
forgot a note about all the games but mostly the PvZ: I played very agressive in most of the games. Its just my process: starting to figure out what i have to scout early, what to punish with allins etc., and then continue the makro game.
|
How do I find the forGG replay now though!?
|
woohoo knowme! great stream if grubby isnt on

I don't want to be pescimistic but you were rank 1 when GM just opened and in WoL you were the gate keeper of GML. You're a very intelligent player but you are unfortunately quite slow so promoting your play as 'very high level' strikes me a bit wrong. You have all the right to promote yourself and I don't think you're in the wrong doing so but please be correct about it.
Also I feel like replay packs shouldnt just be all replays you own thrown together, just do personal selection on the good or entertaining games and stack that together. Giving out a cluster f*** of replays and force them to dig through to find the 1/2 good games themselves is not very user friendly.
Sorry for being a bit blunt about it but this just twisted my stomach a little.
Nonetheless goodluck in the future!~

most of what you write is true but i dont feel that i promoted this falsely in any way.
while it is true that i was only barely GM in WoL i feel that my skill lvl is higher right now.
i was thinking about writing "top level play" or something like that and i wouldnt consider that a lie either, because in some of those games i played more than very good. however i had similar issues with that like you and went for "very high level", because i personally would consider master somewhat high level or maybe top master and well i am GM right now.
the second issues about the selection of the replays: i actually started to sort out some replays that i found entertaining, well played, or whatever. then i thought that some players might find it interesting to follow my learning curve so i decided to upload all the replays. i tried to describe this briefly in the first post.
thanks for the feedback, the good wishes, and the "very intelligent player"

Hi KnowMe,
thx for the replays!
Schöne Grüße!
|
you are welcome <3

|
What the fuck, you're top GM now. Oookay, well you got better I guess!
|
As a noob, I expect I'll learn just as much from the "bad" games as I'll learn from the good ones.
|
Thanks for sharing was really helpful
|
Thanks a lot for sharing these games. Do not hesitate to share your more recent games in the coming days as well ^^
I have one question: Why do you state that you had to learn how to defend against widow mines etc. when you were an active HotS beta player? I'm just curious to know why. Is it perhaps different now in the full release?
|
Please watch these games! I'm sure they're awesome! Very solid, nice guy so learn something from him :D
