What it's like to watch the BEST PROTOSS play SC2 | MaxPax POV/FPV

Ойындар

Please support MaxPax's stream! / maxphylax
The Danish Prince himself, MaxPax, gives us insight into the mind of the deadliest Protoss player in the world of StarCraft 2. Is he actually AI? Or just crazy good? Here's two games, one against Reynor's Zerg and the other against Clem's Terran.

    I know this a MaxPax vid. But this 15:05 move by reynor was just so sick. Hooking the colossos into their own nova is just *chef's kiss .

    StarCraft pro players are just in other lvl then rest of eSport pro players. Its crazy the speed of AMP , the brain work ,decision making process.. If you watch FPS games, or Mortal Combat, Dota/LOL/HOTS the gameplay its more simple. The marine splits of pro terrans or Jaedong muta harass is just out of mind . THX for video

    My impression is that very fast players concentrate on paring down the amount of time and attention that they dedicate to each multi-pronged attack to the barest minimum possible and let the unit AI handle the rest, which means that those attacks are a bit less effective than an attack which is micro-ed, but their multi-pronged nature can put some stress and pressure onto the opponent which is a good trade-off from more of a psychology standpoint. Florencio annoys opponents with unit choices and assorted cheese, these players annoy opponents by forcing them to split their attention and disrupting their own plans.

    Really enjoyed this cast, would love to see more PiG!, he's so fast it's hard to keep up some times. Regarding the sound I didn't find the sound to be too much in the second match, but maybe a tiny bit distracting at times because I would try to make out what he was saying, but not really make out what he said because of sound levels/you would summarize it either way. In the end it didn't make a huge difference. Really enjoyed the content/cast as usual!

    When you talk about habits that stick. In my young day I started out with playing Quake 1. The default on Quake 1 with mouse was invert mouse. I never shook this and have played my entire lanparty and clanbase career in Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2004 with invert mouse. Mouse acceleration started with windows xp and yes it was and still is horrible.

    @PiG MaxPax is extraordinary, however, I am not sure if I would say "best protoss" or anything in that direction. He is the best in harassment, top-tier in control/micro, and astonishing in reactionary play, like game reading w.r.t. how & when to attack and especially end a game. However, I think in defense and especially macro as well as overall solid gameplay no one is better than Showtime (I don't mean solid in terms of Showtime never makes mistakes, obviously that is not true, I mean that in terms of like his favorite player Rain, he is the best when it comes to solid Protoss gameplay).

    A simple explanation is that if you move your mouse from one side of the desk to the other quickly, your cursor will go further than if you moved the mouse slowly. The speed you move the mouse helps dictate the cursor distance. It's considered bad because this creates inconsistency with your aiming and cursor placement. With no acceleration, your cursor always lands in the same place on screen, regardless of speed. This is a really good thing when you're playing at the top level of games.

Presented as a 26 years woman she replies very long messages to my messages in 0,5 seconds. Normal human would write it for at least 20 seconds. And overall acting extremely weird, being very politically correct, perfect punctuation or however it's spelled, perfect english. All of it is possible of course. But writing 50 words in 0,5 second is not. There is some super advanced AI unleashed on the internet.

    its 100% worse, its terrible in fps games, it essentially means your mouse doesnt run on a linear curve, which means all your movements are all some form of a exponential curve for speed which means every action your rapid mouse flicks will cause complete inconsistency in distance traveled almost NO ONE in cs plays with it at pro level and the ones who do are legit what mr Pig said, fools who will not take the time to learn the proper way and are comfortable with a sub optimal setup. Any professional coach in a physical sport would never let you play with sub optimal form, they will retrain you even if you are already good with bad form. Technique always gets results.
