My mechanics suck ass. Always have done. I'd give my classic example of my success at low apm except I said I'd stop doing that after some guy nagged me so pm me if you want to hear me brag.
To give a different example, K00lam beat Testie on Longinus with 90apm. He did it by having excellent game sense and strategy, even though his mechanics were, at 90 apm, pretty awful.
Mechanics =/= apm
And koolam mechanics are pretty good for a top BGH player (even if he is low apm style ), but if you check his gates, he is always producing units, and his micro is good. He beat testie who have really good mechanics too because at the same level of play strategy matters, but the noob who wrotes rhis article need to learn mechanics before whining.

He's not just ignorant. He is an idiot. He knows he is ignorant and that he is going to offend people because of that. But that's what he wants. He wants to provoke 'hate mail'. WTF man, he is worse than the trolls on the bnet forums. And he gets payed to do so and many many readers. Heh, QFT. I also doubt, contrary to what he claims, that he played progamers in Korea. After all, he's called TL Blizzard attendees progamers. LOL
Of course, he didn't.

when there is a large skill gap between players, mechanics > strategy (there is no need for strategy) but when the skill gap is small, strategy becomes more important until strategy > mechanics

Just read this topic now after the second thread on it opened up. Unbelievable. I am staggered by the ignorance displayed by the "journalist". As for labelling detailed constructive criticism of his article "hate mail," that's amazingly narrow-minded and unprofessional at the very least.
Props to all you TL guys who signed up to the forums to reply and especially to whoever sent the "hate-mail." It pisses me off how some of the ignorant fools in the PCG thread are also ignoring 90% of arguments and nitpicking on one or two sentences which aren't even the main f-ing point.

ARGHHHH. Read this shit (page 5 of PCG thread):
I usually just laugh when I see some article about world CyberGames championships in StarCraft or WarCraft 3 because we all know it's totally about build orders and hotkeying, not strategy and to a lesser extent very little tactical acumen as well.
MORE IGNORANCE PLEASE. JESUS.

Lol.. yeah funny.
Ever try playing even Starcraft 1 on normal? Painful indeed... people expect to play on fastest. I've never seen a game where they've purposely wanted to play on any slower setting other than fastest whether they be newbs or not.
PS: The editor is better playing "Supreme Commander." Now that is one fucking slow game lol.

This is hate mail.

He mentioned the issue several times in his audio cast, along the lines of "yeah, they do strategy while they move their hands that fast".
