yest i play 3 games with Filthy, 2nd ranking from the top 200 ranking in SEA. being pawn very hard by him, his micro, map control, scout are very precise. got no chance to fight back, but i did do alot of mistakes also. there is still a big gap between the real gosu

the same can be applied to 1v1 btw. if you contained ur opponent, you control his economy and the momentum of the battle. so long you dont have any openings for a run by (especially zerg speedlings/zealots/reapers) you pretty much got the game in the bag. worse come to worse, so long you're confident on the containment, you can get 2-3 cannons at your mineral line to play it safe, then pull up void rays and the like to finish it for good.

if you've seen my profile, i do play 1v1 and while its just plat and just barely under 100 games played, i am fairly confident in my skill level against diamonds in SEA probably thanks to vista lasik.

and no, i have not mentioned anything about negligence. i am pointing out that theres "many ways to skin a rabbit" so long it gets the job done, thats it. no need to specifically emphasis on basics, cheese, rush, macro and what not. a good balance is to have everything mastered or at least, effort being put into, and just play more/gain experience. like an example to cheesing: if you're damn good at cheesing, most likelyhood you will be good at defending cheese too due to the familiarity of its timings, cheese positions on various maps, and so forth. same goes to rushing, macroing, fast expanding, etc etc.

You do realize that you're already experienced in US when you're most likely not when you started SEA? The global ranking pages speaks for itself so I rest my case if you still want to continue harping the same shit thread  after thread lol
