You've got to respect that practice ethic! Losing again and again is hard. Go Larva! | ||

In Canada it means no or bad, thumbs up is yes or good.

IIRC he was one of the "Gods of the Practice Room" right? Haha, you have a good point. From the graphs we can see that against Last and FlaSh, Larva pretty much has the same win ratio now as he did 7 months ago. The only thing that's changed is his win ratio against Bisu, which I think is a good thing. It'd suck if he got better vs. P and his skills vs. T suffered as a result. I feel like the opposite happened in the first 3 months: his win ratio against terran shot up but he lost 0:16 to Bisu, which made his win ratio vs. P plummet. Anyways, I can't wait to see what happens next. From what people are saying, Larva seems to be crushing Terrans now, so I don't expect his vs. T win ratio to stay the same much longer. We'll see. | ||

He keeps playing those best guys no matter how many times he loses and his winrates are slowly going up and up each month... and man some of those games vs Flash or Last are so brilliant that I think even Effort or Jaedong aren't capable of playing like that. I wish one day he will be able to perform like this in offline tournament and join the top guys. | ||

It feels like he uses some new kind of muta micro technique which gives his mutas some extra range. He has an insane ZvT record lately and the highest APM around. | ||

He has an insane ZvT record lately and the highest APM around. It is the move-command technique that Jaedong needs to improve on. Larva is really good with this aswell. ScaN has a tutorial on how to do it somewhere | ||

This I observed around when Effort started streaming, how he always a-clicks behind marines which doesn't seem effective to me but for some reason, mutas instantly shoot (and more importantly always shoot, while a-click before the marine may prompt mutas to not shoot at all before you retreat), which because it is more reliable way to do it you can be 'more' greedy with pulling back, hence it 'appears' as if efforts mutas have longer range. Definitely a little harder to pull off since you have to travel a little bit longer with the mouse. Example: For instance you are already near a marine with your mutas, but your mutas have to reangle if you are close and not facing the marine. Usually here they decelerate a little which is hard to see. This happens if you a-click before the marine. Instead you should a-click behind the marine so they won't decelerate. edit: Though Effort also uses it with hold command. So he right click move command his mutas way behind the marine ball, and when he feels has enough distance to shoot against marines, he hold commands. This is effective if you feel like or need to kill a marine ball fast enough. For picking up single marines a-click behind | ||

I think larva was a sought after semi pro though, iirc he had the best record in one of those kespa rookie drafts (i could be recalling this incorrectly lol) | ||
