You don't stay in Code S for so long by being mediocre. His play style may not be nice to look at but he does have a lot more success than many players stuck in Challenger league or Code B. | ||

We will see tonight. last season he beat Squirtle, Parting, Kangho, Trap, barely lost to Rain, beat Soulkey, and then barely lost to First. I'd say that was not a lucky run. | ||

His results were impressive but I just think it is a hellbat/SCV pull ridden fluke. I have been wrong before (Soulkey) but usually I know what I am talking about regarding these things. He got incredibly lucky with how this group played out so if he doesn't make it that confirms this pretty well imo. Its Sos who got lucky. He is no luckier than anybody in this group. And scv pull takes skill. | ||

Not sure how SCV pulls are flukes, they are the same thing as immortal sentry, immortal bust, roach/bane, etc. They are timings. It is like saying Innovation fluked by going 3 base 4M vs Soulkey or Protoss fluked with 2 base quick storm. | ||

Going 3 base 4M vs Zerg is different because it can work vs anything Zerg does if you play better then him. An SCV pull relies on the opponent to choose a certain build for a free win rather then something that you win through mechanics. This genre is called Real Time Strategy for a reason -_-'' | ||

Someone who relies on these to do well will have fluky results compared to someone who doesn't. How much skill a strategy takes is irrelevant; all that matters is how successful it is. You assume that progamers simply flip a switch and go do an all in. Most builds are carefully chosen depending on things such as the metagame, their opponent's tendencies (scouting patterns, building placements, etc), and series position. Starcraft is a game of limited information. All builds rely on some degree of luck. Greedy > Standard > Cheese > Greedy. You choose your build depending on what you expect from an opponent. There are tons of macro players who have greater career success variability than "gimmicky" players like SuperNova or Symbol or whoever.
