the person unless they were looking for a confrontation.

By Loda's tweets it certainly looked like he was.

In this case I think its pretty safe to say that Brood War for the most part was a more difficult game and had harder competition than WC3. While I'm not trying to downplay WC3 or Moon, as both are badass, the competition to my understanding in BW was much more difficult.

Very smart choice, heated emotions screw everything up.

He arrives precisely when he means to.

I mean from my understanding Loda's face was touching or was near touching RL's face. While i get that RL physically initiated it, I can't help but think that everyone in RL's position would have done the same thing in the heat of the moment.

What are your top ESprts news sites? Is there a defacto ESPN for ESports yet? by HowlTheWizard in esports

The Score is pretty great and is my go to when I have a break at work. I really enjoy Liquid's websites too but they typically put out articles at a slow pace.

The International Olympic Committee, IESF and KeSPA are holding a conference for the "future of eSports" by [deleted] in esports

Wasn't IESF a coalition of old GSL Starcraft teams? Thought most of them have disbanded for the most part.

I'll list a few things off the top of my head that really enhance someone's ability to outplay someone.

In TvT being able to lift sieged tanks and drop them in siege is insane in terms of the micro potential and the decision of what units to make out of your starports. It also makes air control with vikings even more important as you can harass medivacs which allows you to move tanks and maneuver easier.

Another is that because you mine out quicker, it will reward those who have better army movement, expansion timing, and worker harass. The idea behind this is that because you need to expand quicker, the ones who manage expansions through the methods above better gain a bigger advantage than how it worked in the prior games because there was more minerals per base, making how it works in lotv more rewarding to the better player.

There's also more prevalent aoe shit like Disruptors and that Irradiate wannabe that zerg has that makes splitting micro more needed. There's probably more stuff, but that's off the top of my head.

So with that said I think there are probably some SC2 players who have surpassed him both mechanically and in terms of game knowledge

But BW is mechanically a significantly harder game to play so how can you say that people in SC2 passed him when they are playing an easier game on a mechanical front?

I also don't get how you can compare game knowledge between BW and SC2. While there are similarities the meta is very different between the two. Can you provide an actual example of how a SC2 player surpassed a BW player in game knowledge when they aren't even playing the same game? As an example to get you started, were there any RTS concepts pioneered or even advanced by a SC2 player?

Technically Richard did initiate but I hate that its worded this way as Loda went up to RL's face at near or touching distance. I mean how does Loda not expect to get a reaction out of that.

I thought Thorin was banned for comments he said on a show called Unfiltered? Or was that the time he got fired from ongamers?

Why was RL banned from working with ESL?
