Take July's 5 pool against BeSt in Game 1 of the OSL finals, establishing the psychological upper hand and throwing BeSt off balance. The 5 pool itself was an in-game strategy but the "I'm July and we're gonna play this my way and I'm going to win" mentality it created was a metagame strategy. From how I understand it, if July believed that Best had a tendency to scout late, or he was abusing some other piece of knowledge about the map, or current state of protoss trends, he would be metagaming. What you are describing just seems like mind games. Thinking about it now, I don't understand the term as well as I thought, so I could be entirely wrong about this. | ||

i like this: (my post in "[TLPD] ask for stats" thread): On May 29 2009 20:04 MasterReY wrote: i would like to see a "team history" for every player. Just short line in which teams that player was and to which teams he got transfered. like: MBC Hero -> SKT1 -> STX Soul (but also include old names like P&C, IS, POS and stuff) now i read this in the op: On June 06 2009 00:43 Plexa wrote: <center><font size='3'><b>What is the future of Liquipedia?</b></font></center> Over the coming month, the Liquipedia team will be focusing its efforts on introducing a number of elements from the world of Progaming into Liquipedia. The planned expansion includes - Player bios - Information about current and past leagues - Team Histories (including name changes) - Battle Reports for matches (where available) Indeed Liquipedia will become an even more useful resource as more information is added. Once Liquipedia goes live, feel free to add content to any of the above areas in addition to Strategy. | ||

Metagame literally means beyondgame, in the same way that metaphysics means beyondphysics. That's what the word meta means which is why I mistakenly took it to mean using and exploiting factors outside of the strategic and tactical choices within the game to win. Whereas I now see I was mistaken and metagame has a quite different meaning. Is there any established term for what I meant? | ||
