Strategy / Re: TvP How do you like to counter cars?« on: February 12, 2024, 06:13:47 pm »
Valks are great but the AOE from Valks doesn't splash onto other interceptors. They're mainly awesome against carrier micro because the interceptors return to the carrier which causes massive damage from the Valkyrie halo rockets onto the carriers. But against regular attack move split carriers Valkyries are a great tool to just hang in the back on HOLD position where they are outside of carrier range.
Really good combination options are EMP+valkyrie. EMP+Valkyrie+Ghost lockdown. EMP+goliaths+Ghost lockdown. You can if you're not rich enough to afford the massive transition to Valkyrie stick to marined medic for a short bit because interceptors die very quickly to stimmed marines with 1-3 attack upgrade. 3

Fastest meta changed a lot. For years Kokanee was the number 1 player until LovelyRabbit came over and they shared the top 1 spot on original, with uplus right behind them. This was during UGL. Rabbit introduced different build orders and playstyles.
When UGL ended and SCW started and everyone switched to BW and more koreans showed up. The best few korean streamers came over and they for a lack of better wording completely destroyed SCW at the time. Inbusjaja aka GangNamLife, LovelyRabbit(medium streamer), HankookBBalmu aka Shin(big streamer), Brain(big streamer). They played such a different style with way more focus on aggression and micro that everyone started to adapt build orders a bit and playstyles. GoldSCV(whiteandblack) showed up in like SCW 6 but had trouble adjusting to the map at first. JH(uplus) also returned around that time and they shared the top 3 ranks with Kokanee, but Goldscv and JH were without question better. GoldSCV and JH kept developing and outgrew Kokanee in a couple seasons. Thanks, a korean low money player showed up and had some very dominant hyper aggressive mico focused seasons. His late game was also crazy good. He quit for a while and never got back into shape. Then Scan, a professional korean played a couple seasons and immediately competed at the top of SCW with extremely good micro focused play. Around this time Byul also started playing SCW and JH played his last season. GOldscv renamed to WhiteandBlack and kept getting better. Hydra also returned and got knocked around pretty badly by JH, Scan, WhiteandBlack and Byul until he was the first to really adapt to the Korean playstyle that until then nobody had adjusted to. Since then Hydra's been without question the best non-korean player. But because koreans play A LOT on korean server vs extremely good players they get way more practice in against the best players in the world. Like if you had to Rank Hydra including the Koreans from the Korean server he'd rank somewhere in in the top 20-25 in early game but top 15 in late game. If you had to make an all time best list including koreans from the korean server the list would be something like: Brain > Gensay > Burgersasu > LuckyBack > 458!!!(protoss) > Byul > Shin > Mong(professional) > Flash(professional) > Light(professional) > WhiteandBlack > Mepo > GangNamLife > LovelyRabbit > JH > Scan(professional) > Dorom > Henessy > Levi > Question > By_Zone > SH > Bame >Trisha > Niture > BomBi >By_Cong > Hydra.

They are the best 2vs2 team to play SCW ever. DeD_GoM and DeD_Dorom without a doubt second best team. After that I'd say Hydra+Evil or Hyda+Gohan are the best, but there is a gap. https://www.starcraftworld.net/index.php?action=league&mode=2v2standings&season=62 5

If you really want to improve your performance through something physical it has been proven good sleeping habits and schedules will net you the biggest gain in addition to goal oriented practice.

playing starcraft after a workout might actually impede on your ability to play your best. If an exercise requires a certain degree of grip you can impede on your ability to accurately and precisely use your mouse or keyboard for a fair bit. Overall fitness won't improve your physical playing ability but will improve your longevity.
But there are benefits to working out that might improve your mental state and that could result in improved performance. There's some ways exercise can affect your brain however: https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpao/features/physical-activity-brain-health/index.html#:~:text=Did%20you%20know%20it's%20good,of%20cognitive%20decline%2C%20including%20dementia. 11
Suggestions & Feedback / Re: Reaver pathing fix« on: December 04, 2023, 09:56:56 pm »I think it is pretty well known that reavers do not work when trying to push into someone's base. If you build in a certain way, a reaver cannot shoot something that is clearly in front of them. I am making this poll to get an idea if anyone else agrees or thinks it's a balance against PvZ or PvT. I have seen on some videos where pathing can be done incorrectly causing reavers to not be able to shoot. I think it can be fixed but I am not entirely sure.It can't be fixed. it is part of the pathing system starcraft is coded on. If you fix it in 1 pathing zone, the problem will be in another pathing zone. 12
Match of the Week / Re: Announcement of 1vs1 BO5 Showdown: HyDrA vs Brain« on: November 18, 2023, 12:18:10 pm »I think folks misunderstood my comment. I talked with hydra about it. He agreed he played way too defensive and passive after watching the replay. You do raise a fair point. Does not make it less lame. 13

I think folks misunderstood my comment.
I got Hydra rated pretty high on my list. Hydra has the skill to put on a proactive exciting game, but decided to play it lame and boring by just turtling for almost the entire game. Most of his attacks were spot abuse with sometimes a not controlled attack move on Brain's choke. Hydra is better than what he showed in that PvP. He played it lame and boring. He is better than that in terms of skill. I was disappointed that he decided not to show it. Because he finally got a chance to show off against the best of all time in front of a large audience and didn't take it. 14

Hydra showed up and thought to himself "how can I turn this into the lamest and worst advertisement for scw".
