If you want to learn more, watch Day9, that helps a ton. Watch replays from GSL, TSL or whatever. There are a lot of good players that stream their plays such as LiquidTLO, EGHuK, Destiny, etc etc.

And is it just me or Malaysians really love Combat-EX? Now I've seen his play and to be totally honest, he is a decent cheeser, which obviously doesn't really represent much especially if you don't have a follow up after the cheese. What I said is a theory as I just finished watching a game of spanishiwa vs combat-ex and it was horrible to even watch it. Worst of all he trash-talks in the game. Yet however, if you like his style of play, watch KiwiKaki instead. He cheeses as well, except he has a follow up and his cheese is rather a boost for him in the late game rather than an all in.

i totally love him...

u can see tat i recommend his games to every toss (check the toss subthread) cause his vids are very very educational especially from decision making side...
no doubt day9 is good, but day9 tend to cater for those newer players while combatex focus more on decision making suitable for older players (who i assume have decent mechanics)...

he explain the thought process and decision making a lot which not many ppl does (whitera rarely does it on his stream anymore T.T)...
u can see tat he is not really good in terms of mechanics (go see mc's FPvods) but his decision making is really good...

Your point being? As far as I remember, if you want to watch or at least learn from a good protoss player, there are a lot more replays out there that can allow newbies to learn even more. And I was saying it was horrible to watch it, not that he is a total noob or what. As I said, it was based on that game where he fought spanishiwa alone, which really doesn't look like a good game to me. He even fought idra (just watched it) and to be honest, idra totally outplayed him.
I think you are talking more about newbie tuesday than day9 alone. His other dailies where he analyses replays from the professionals do talk about decisional making and others. But I do have to admit that his dailies take up to 1 hour, pretty long if you ask me.
*
nope not newbie tuesdays...
i used to watch all his dailies then i realize everything he was gonna say? i know all of them from watching gsl alone lol...
what needed at higher lvl of gameplay are not those, but rather thought process and build timings...
i feel tat combatex cover that very very very well...
i have tonnes of frens who are in GM etc and they all love his videos../

ps: if u sepnd 3 hrs a day watching gsl, u wont find day9 dailies to be long haha

i had stopped watching day9 after i learn all the basics he can teach me. day9 is a good starter but it kinda get bored after awhile cuz he is repeating the same points over and over. if you get it, you get it. if you dont, he will repeat until you do.

while GSL shows you the latest highest gameplay and thought process, if you know how to analyse the game urself via watching it. but then, those things in GSL you will nvr be able to use it on ladder cz its totally another lvl. only things day9 teach can be used in ladder.
*
pretty much the reason why...
i got all my mechanics from day9 and some decision making...
only problem i have with his dailies now is tat it is slightly behind the metagame which i have mostly seen done in GSL etc...

I see no reason to hate him. Unlike other players like iNcholestrole, he is actually a great player, and he tells it like it is.

In fact I wish more SC2 player would be like him.

incontrol is better than combatex

yeah, i've nothing else against him. just that so many other ppl deserves MLG than him. MLG should learn from gomtv, be more cruel. actually even code S is very protective to code S player and so cruel to code B now.
*
in fact mlg system is fine...
jz tat the koreans keep coming in and out...
thus their points will nvr be up to that of those consistent MLG goers...

combatex pawn incholestrol anytime.

incontrol claim to be progamer but his record is like so bad...

his tutorial is boring,

and yeah watching combatex's utube realli will learn alot of stuffs.
*
well in terms of results i am sure incontrol is doing better...
being in a team as well as having a MLG seed (though might loose it soon) as opposed to combatex...

incontrol was USA's 2007 WCG winner btw
