    I'm still confused on the thing that he went 8th place in the North American ladder. It kinda feels like he is joking around, but this is suspiciously specific. If this is true, like if he actually achieved 8th place when he was a teenager, he could have become a legit pro-gamer. 8th place in any server means he is at pro-level.

      @sethmoyer Рік тому +5

      There were a lot of ladder heroes back then who were very good on ladder but didn't have the breadth of different builds and skillsets to be really competitive in pro play. I guess it's still kind of like that now too, but like some people are really good playing one style, but in a pro match your opponent is going to know what you like to do and try to counter it, so you have to be good enough playing other styles/compositions to be able to punish your opponent for trying to counter what they thought you were going to do.

    My first experience with competitive online rts games was rise of nations. I thought to myself one day "you know, you're at the point now where fighting the computer on hardest difficulty is easy, how hard could a real person be?" so I proceeded to join a 4 vs 4 match, and my teammates absolutely carried me, and I barely scraped by. The whole time everyone in the match was berating me for not having the superhuman reflexes of a snake, the way they did. I realized that day that competitive rts players are actually literally insane, and I would never be as good as I am with other genres of game.

I almost got to grandmaster and won a bunch of local tournaments and then quit around the middle of HotS because I was in college and got distracted by other stuff. I watched the day9 daily every night too, watched daily #100 live and it stuck with more than almost anything else I've seen before. I credit that game to a ton of life-success that I've had since then, it gave me a wonderful work ethic and a bunch of beautifully generalizable mental models. Props to SC2!

      @@sr.365 No, it's a video about gaming, not a (casual) gaming video. And they are very different. A gaming video is about a person who records himself/herself playing the game unlike a video about gaming where the person talks about a game.

    You know the content creator is good when we just sat through a 5 minute advertisement without even knowing it.
    I thought saying "sponsored by twitch and blizzard" was just part of a joke.
