Star Nation (a look at the players behind StarCraft II)

[eazybennett]

Every time I need some motivation :)

[kakashitachi99]

Chess.

[gobe270]

lol is that guys name actually John Marston? lol Red Dead Redemption.

[TheBryjankens]

man this has to come out i would donate money but im a bum :(

[TenchiSaWaDa]

Awesome

[Finnajin]

LoL the guy who said that every move has a larger impact than in chess does not have much insight into that game. Make one mistake and you are done(theoretically speaking).

[TFzogga]

@Finnajin LoL the Guy you just insulted was naniwa and hes got a huge insight. Practically speaking

[Finnajin]

@TFzogga Hes got a huge insight insight in sc2, but what I said was that he does not have a lot of insight into chess. And regardless of huge his insight is, the comparison will still be stupid.

[96515325]

@Finnajin It is actually the same for Starcraft II. Provided you play professionally.

[Finnajin]

@96515325 I do not see how you did not get this but my point was that in chess a game usually takes between 20-60 moves. But in starcraft the amount of moves is a lot greater, since you constantly makedesicions, which of course leads to the conclusion that every move is less significant. Naniwa could of course refer to a move in starcraft, as an attack or something along those lines, his statement would then make a lot more sense.

[96515325]

@Finnajin 20-60 moves in chess is pretty short. Unless your opponent is a noob? So I highly doubt your knowledge. Continuing on, if you play Starcraft II professionally. The type of decisions made by players are roughly the same. Hence this leads to each decision being balanced by another. As every player trains himself rigorously, you will find that majority of the decisions are mechanical and the similar. It is rather who does it faster. Which lead to the theory of apm.

[96515325]

@Finnajin Apm could greatly impact the game to the point of wining or losing even by a micro second. Since the type of decisions made are the same. Only the major decisions made by players can affect their gameplay. Such as the timing of initiation and type of units made. Depending on the map, rather to get more resources and attacking opponent to distract. Scout spying and so on. So technically if you are already proficient in starcraft II you would have understood the subtitle "moves" .

[Finnajin]

@96515325 These are the numbers of moves between Anand and Kramnik when they faced eachother: 32,32,41,29,35,47,37,39,45,29,­24. Are Kramnik and Anand noobs? Seems like my estimation was incredibly accurate.

The rest of your posts which addressed sc2 was just a bunch of things that I already knew. I have a very good understanding of starcraft2, and trying to say that I don´t because I don´t agree with you is silly.

[96515325]

@Finnajin Maybe I'm wrong. But when I play with decent enough chess players the endgame often drags but that is probably because we don't call for a draw. In professional chess, it is a different thing. Calling for a draw is a technique by itself. Even when the other player is losing, forcing a draw is a good thing. Since we both agree, I find it incredibly tiring to continue on.

[Finnajin]

@96515325 Fair enough.

[Finnajin]

@96515325 I already said in my previous post that Naniwas statement would make more sense if he meant a moves as in "Major desicions" or something. However, that was not clear at all, and the fact remains that starcraft is a game where you constantly make desicions and in chess you make, as I said in my previous post, 20-60 desicions per game.

[yumcereal12]

@Finnajin You're right, although I think he (Naniwa) meant that there a lot more moves TO make in Starcraft (you literally have to "move" every second since it's real-time) and therefore there is a greater margin for wrong moves to have an impact on the game.

[MYVIBEcinema]

is this the full movie or just a trailer?

[CorbyBros]

Name of the song?



[TenchiSaWaDa]

@CorbyBros Fireflies by Mother Falcon

[CorbyBros]

Name of the song?

[AzamatoTheGreat]

SeleCT !!

[ltsjack]

i like the things they say about starcraft 2 requring more skill then chess ^^ I severely doubt the chess grandmasters would agree

[Revan1992x]

It's a great project, really. It is however, sadly, a lost cause. The starcraft community wont even pay ~3 bucks to watch a lifetime of GOMTV. I doubt they'll give you the money to travel the world. Sorry :(

[JesperThygesen]

i would really REALLY like to donate to this shit and stuff, but.. i just dont have the economy to support it, right now i can barely support myself and that is really sad, because this is a F'ing good project

[DustTheseNugz]

This will be a hit. starcraft community is huge. stick with it

[TenchiSaWaDa]

wat is the song ofr this?

[TenchiSaWaDa]

Hey good vid man. YOu can go far. I will find more people to watch and donate go for it.

[99anish9]

@xHydrax Whats the name of the song used throughout the video?

[cynan09]

@99anish9

[Infiltration36]

lol why everybody hating on Idra? he's a great player and who cares if he's an asshole, or maybe's he's not you don't know the guy, you don't know Huk. Everybody rages, you just don't have thousands of people looking at you will you're sitting at home getting your ass whooped by a bronze 4gate. Jesus Christ guys you want drama go stalk fucking Angelina jolie and her 52 adoptees. Fuck man u little kids are pissing me off.

[Hellnation13]

They money is going to Heroin do not lie...

That where it'd be going if you'all donated to me...so donate to myself destruction so I can play SC2 more while I am high and not dopesick pff.

[Etrajbe]

sad that they ask them for jobs, especially the koreans xD in korea they are the biggest celebrities in the country..

[anvo89]

love it!

[d4n13lr0x]

I can see big shit in the future for E-sports... BIG things!

[pinkfreudboyd]

Did Naniwa have a stroke?

[barraged]

I love Idra, hope eh wins the world

[invisibleaznDJ]

lmfao....everyone zeros in on Idra's comment about huk. Wonder why there is so much hate there. Or maybe he is just hyping the rivalry up for the fans.....Huk talks ish too, he just doesnt do it in front of the camera.

[TenchiSaWaDa]

@invisibleaznDJ It's to have fun. they can 'stand' each other but rivalries form which makes it great and fun with drama.

[DeuceOnFace]

i love that huk shit, so good

[Refreshernoob]

lol

[shoelace510]

LOL @ Idra. You can't diss Huk cause he can play 1 race well... because GUESS WHAT? You can only play zerg well too buddy!

[TheGracken]

@shoelace510 he's saying that protoss is too easy to win with...

[TheWargasmic]

@shoelace510

wow youre stupid. he's saying protoss is easy. which is true.

[simon147snooker]

@TheWargasmic protoss is not easier than terran lol, just a move and stim lol

[TheWargasmic]

@simon147snooker

no. positioning tanks, microing marines from banelings, microing from zealots. moving viking around etc. etc. protoss just a moves and wins. pressing f.

[simon147snooker]

@TheWargasmic ok so forcefield placement, colossus micro blink micro etc etc is easy.. ur being ignorant mate

[TheWargasmic]

@simon147snooker

actually it is. maybe it's too hard for your puny fingers.

[simon147snooker]

@TheWargasmic haha no it's not, ur probably bronze noob

[TheWargasmic]

@simon147snooker

if i were bronze i wouldn't say it were easy. in diamond btw. you can suck on that.

[simon147snooker]

@TheWargasmic your mom sucks on that.. i don't say terran is easy but toss is not easier than the other ones, and im diamond 2 :) go suck on that, oh sorry ur mom is sucking on it right now, it'll be your turn too,

and also you probably just say that toss is easy because you can't beat them since you haven't found out what ghost is yet

[TheWargasmic]

@simon147snooker

oh mom jokes. that's getting old dude. suck it up and accept it. everyone says protoss is easy. youre just too retarded to even micro a stalker or a colossus.

[simon147snooker]

@TheWargasmic with everyone you mean idra? and btw ur from costa rica, didn't know they had computers over there, gl playing sc2 on windows 98, go harvest ur crops

[TheWargasmic]

@simon147snooker

im not from costa rica. i just live here and i own a macbook pro. don't get personal bro it makes you look bad.

[simon147snooker]

@TheWargasmic so it's not personal that you say im retarded?

[SuperLiktor]

@simon147snooker

@TheWargasmic

you guys are soooo childish, if you like starcraft so much that you fight over it, why dont you donate a few bucks like i did, so we´ll get to see the real players and not just their matches.

by the way... macbooks suck

[LloydChristmas777]

@simon147snooker, I don't what you guys are debating about, but insulting people because they're from developing nations (even though this particular guy isn't) is pretty low.

[simon147snooker]

@LloydChristmas777 lol he insults me telling me im a retard cuz i have an oppinion, so i have all the rights, sorry mate

[LloydChristmas777]

@simon147snooker, just to clarify, I wasn't taking a side. Just don't think it's fair to demean people that were born into poverty, even though I know you were directing it at him.

[simon147snooker]

@LloydChristmas777 i don't disrespect alla people born in poverty, i just think he is a twat

[Shionwah]
