Artosis just because the Chinese don't copy zerg build orders from Koreans and their unique aggressive style of play isn't a bad thing. If everyone played the same with predictable build orders - what fun would this game be.. when boxer 'cheesed' his way through finals did anyone blame him ? he had a unique way of looking at the game.. I hope China does well at WCG and any foreigner :D

great show! although i have to say i disagree with the notion that someone can play starcraft "wrong". it's one thing if a player just doesn't have an optimized build order and is too lazy to figure one out, but playing a bit out of the ordinary is never a bad thing in my book, especially since the metagame is always changing, and you never know what weird build might be the next big thing.

rofl, china copies from everyone... like 99.9% of EVERYONE playing sc1 or sc2 havnt copied 99.9% of their game play from someone to begin with..

What do you expect from china there's a reason why theyre called copy cat

[azmanntoz]

i think this show should have less opinion and more reporting. You could cut down each episode down to 1 part which is much more tidy.

Playing "wrong" isn't the best words to use but there really isn't a more accurate way to describe it. If you aren't playing with practiced build orders you are most likely improvising and making less than optimimal choices. You can win a few games with creative play but in the long run you would become a better player using play style that the top koreans use.

lol whats the surprise? china copies everything from everyone, lol ...

anime nerds!

[keymaker2112]

I think what he was saying was that, build-order-wise, the Chinese players are playing slightly slower or less economically efficent builds. I agree with you, if you won, it was the right build, but there's room for improvement. Conversely the unpredictability of that creates a whole new meta-game shift, so...
