Even so, I was wondering ; does it reaaaaaallly make a difference whether you spam APM "to warm up" at the start of the game?

I can understand if it's your first game or the day or something, but other than that?

Then again, I suppose there's not much else to do at this point anyways, so might as well.

I don't think it really matter, it's more just a matter of habit. According to QXC, Sheth is pretty low APM and he's a Zerg. At one point during his Code A qualification matches, Sheth was at 5 APM.

For me it does.
Helps me settle into the StarCraft mindset and not have to think too much about anything else.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
It helps A LOT. If I don't get my 800 APM fix at the start of the game, I will suck.

One thing that leapt out at me: You can only spawn cross positions on Shakuras, so there is no need for you to send your SCV to close positions :)

Watching this stuff kinda takes me back to when I first started playing CS. I sat there in the spawn for 30 secs clicking through menus to buy guns, bullets, frags, etc. while everyone else just quick-keyed it all in 3 secs.

I can't even fathom how a pro zerg like sheth can maintain with just 5 apm. That alone is quite a trait. I spam apm in the beginning of matches, as many of you have pointed out. It certainly helps me focus and keeps my hands busy. I mean, why not?

Ranked top 4 in Platinum right now. I should hit Diamond sometime near the end of next month, so long as I keep playing and improving.

EDIT: Played 3 games today, won all of them. Just played against a Terran who bm'ed and accused me of not microing my Infestors . . . right after I had NP'ed 4 of his seige tanks and crushed his last push.

He was clearly right. If you microed them you would have NPed an SCV and built your own tanks!

So it's a DJWheat hosts the IncontrolDaily where you learn absolutely nothing masked as an alternative to SotG? What is the appeal in that!? Wheat is begging for phone calls atm due to how filler the show is.

Edit - Wheat raging is kinda amusing, but also rather sad.

He was angry about people who seriously argue that every little piece of drama that occurs in the SC2 community, is hurting E-sports. He cited a Las Vegas Counter-Strike tournament in which, all the sponsor's equipment was stolen, a gun was pulled, and other terrible things as the real kinds of problems that hurt E-sports.

He has a point but I really wish he would get to the point of this "special" ITG. It's been pretty boring so far.

meh, nothing is hindering esports. People just like to bitch about anything. Denying Destiny a spot on Complexity doesn't mean anything. Taking iNcontroL from SotG doesn't hinder, etc.

It is part of life. It may be unfortunate and nonsensical, but it is what it is.

Yea the stream is unwatchable at this point. I'm disappointed by Incontrol's actions but he had to choose what's best for him and not necessarily the community.

I wouldn't ever want to do business with EG. On a personal level, I like a lot of EG people. But professionally, EG is a joke.

ITG is boring. I gave it a shit, but it just doesn't do anything for me. Wheat is a cool, passionate guy who loves the game and is a good caster, but he just doesn't hold my attention long enough in the show's setting. I'd rather listen to Day9 take calls and ask questions to pro gamers, and even that would get old.

SOTG is very well done and JP is a great moderator; he's similar to Wheat in terms of not being the most knowledgeable SC2 guy, but it doesn't matter since he's so good at what he does (moderate and stir debate/talk). Whereas Wheat feels like he's throwing darts at a wall hoping something sticks.

Here's a decent summary.

So SotG got a sponsor offer that is rival to EG's sponsors razor, so razor then offered sotg the same offer since Incontrol would have to leave if they accepted it. They accepted it not knowing they would loose incontrol, lost incontrol who then started ItG, changed their mind because they lost incontrol and then wanted razors offer in order to keep him but it was too late, resulting in everyone being screwed over?

What a shit load of fuck is this?

It is all stupid shit. And honestly, all the people in charge are better off not talking about it. Then this shit will be dropped, just like it had been until that picture got leaked. Instead, they are continuing to promote the discussion, and here we are.

From the sounds of it, although I acknowledge that the vocal minority is always the loudest, Inside the Game isn't very good, which means it may disappear, or SotG and ItG will merge which could solve the problem. Especially since it seems apparent that SotG didn't take the offer of conflicting partners. It all seems so attention grabbing and a desperate attempt to make ItG relevant.

It sucks because I like pretty much every person in the forefront of the SC community and the petty shit is ruining their exposure more so than helping it.

Real sports have riots and players beating one another and people breaking bones and betting schemes and bannings from the sport and groupies and trading cards and world championships and crackshot journalists and crappy hometown journalists and beloved commentators.

More drama can only help.

Kinda stupid from all around, EG should have talked it out with JP or something. Either way both lose. ItG isnt that good, SotG wont be as good without Jeff (the real way to spell the name Jeff, not that Geoff way)
