this documentary gets it wrong trying to simplify things (or dumbing it down for the noobs to understand). even if his apm is almost 4x more compared to average player he still isn't 4x faster. spamming tons of commands will not add to the speed of the game, nor does he get 4x more done. there's even higher apm players who still lose too. i wished rts games would develop differently since they are strategy games afterall, but apparently many developers prefer this sort of speed related gameplay
@DonMega187 Lol, they're not just spamming commands, look at their replays, they can command multiple units to do their specific tasks in just a fraction of a second. They lose only in positioning, harrassments and mineral/vespene deficit. If you look at their replays, in a clash, can you see units stuck up on traffic congestion? NO! In early minutes, let's say up to 5 minutes. If you have that 300+ apm and you use it accordingly, you can be ahead of your enemy having only less than 300 apm.
koreans are fucking weird.... that little asian mother fucker makes MORE THAN ME playing fucking GAMES?! Korea needs to get nuked, like right now, I swear, lets go!
@luckyStrike89ru Dude you are fucked up like no kidding. That's not supposed to be funny... No, korea makes money by playing games because they do it for enterainment purposes not for fun and nuking korea? really? go die in a fucking hell hole fag
@luckyStrike89ru dude you really need to think before you post... this is South Korean culture! and its gaining popularity in North America and Europe This brought them out of an economic crisis!... they play starcraft which is actually hard to play at a high level and people who know anything about starcraft will vouch for me!... as soon as i saw this post the ignorance level just went straight throught the roof! i can believe some people
in 2004 day9 lost to xellos, in 2005 he lost to androide, It's kind of sad thinking about it, because day9 felt like he easily could have beaten androide but crumbled under pressure. It could have been him in this video.
Can't believe these people are still playing that shit-hole of a game SC for tournaments.
If it wasn't so full of foreigners and north-american fanboyism trying to protect what they think is 'sacred' it would have come and gone. But, we must endure it's endless stream of shit...
Why can't we have tournaments based on skill instead of rock-paper-scissor?
@agpshadow If you mean sc1 then it staying alive has nothing to do with foreigners or north americans, it never did, it was always the koreans who took it to another level. Also if you really think sc is rocks-paper-scissor that just shows how naive you are despite you saying what I mentioned before.
they are pretty hard on gamers,"pro gamers; a parent's worst nightmare," or "the computer geek that no one would be caught dead with." i mean, in this day and age everyone of my generation plays videogames of some sort. They should do a fact check.
Wow! Another Racist biased report from a racist propaganda reporting company using the same stupid news format used on your local news world wide. So what is the point National Geographic u just figured this out now!
Jihoon and his coach seem like good people, its a shame that they don't have as much of a budget as some of the other teams, but when you don't have much, you learn to be more grateful for what you get
do you guys know the documentary about gaming also, and in this is a boy who gets paranoid because of gaming (He locks all the doors, cause he thinks he'll get shot at night )
@DeMitrix9435 not at all lol, but white ra is 30 something and the best actual zerg player is 28 (Nestea). So yea.. FUCK YOU OLD FRIGID JOURNALIST FEMALE.
@viper19861986 23-27? What are you smoking. MVP, age 20. MC, age 20. Leenock, age 16. Jjakji, age 19. MKP, age 18. Oz, age 22. Dongraegu, age 21. I could go on and on, but basically the only "top player" who's over 23 is Nestea.
@viper19861986 Did you even research at all. If you did, you would have known that most of the best players in the world are under 22-23 with exception of NesTea. Players at 30 aren't top players. BoxeR is way past his prime. Don't even say White-Ra, he's not in the GSL. He isn't a "top player."
@cbnunya I dont need research, i been following the since 2001.
Yeah NOT all top players are old, but to say old players cant be good is retarded.
And why is white-ra even the stable boy for older players.
It is hard to use the term "top player" cause there are tons of "top players" it just depends what group you are in. White-ra can almost go to any tourney and do great, maybe not GSL but there are TONS of other ones out there.
@viper19861986 I never said they CAN'T be top players (hence NesTea). I said that when looking at all older players, you notice that they aren't as good as the players under 23. It's possible that a player above the range can compete (ex: NesTea), but almost none has been able to achieve this. And honestly, the GSL is the toughest league in the world. White-Ra hasn't shown that he can compete with players from the GSL. Sure, he's a top foreigner, but among Koreans, he is average.
damn, this makes me want to play starcraft, hell, i'm 18, if i start soon, i might be a national player, doubt i'll be champion, but hey anythings possible
LOL! shut the fck up guys. jealous? well atleast they are makin money by just playin video games. HAHA! how bout you guys? what do you guys do for a living? LMFAO. nerd or not, well if im gonna make money for being a nerd, THEN PLS GOD MAKE ME! lol
@Kazuko20 This however, is SC:BW and not SC2. SC:BW requires better mechanics and thus more APM compared to SC2. WhiteRa is actually quite a low APM player (~180 if I recall correctly), which would have not been sufficient to competitively play SC:BW.
@Coldjinseng no non-korean has ever won WCG. day[9], tasteless, idra and artosis used to be the best players from north america and the best non-korean players together with brat_ok, white-ra and so on.. but none of them ever stood a chance against the koreans. highest place in a WCG tournament for a non-korean was 2nd place which was achieved by PJ (China) and Androide (Russia)
