Few years ago T90 has made showcases for HC4 giving us hints about different playstyles of participants. There was something about lieryy micro, viper quick walling, vivi towers and daut castles. But since then a lot have changed - we cant identify players by their micro or quick walling anymore - almost all top players can put out crazy 500+ apm and even hoang quickwalls these days, lets be honest even failed castle is not a clear signature of Daut anymore.
So, what hints do we look for in the playstyles of participants? Here are few things that I have noticed and think could be usefull.
1. Viper often picks questionable non-meta civs in tournaments, like portuguese on arabia or something. Also, it feels like he is more comfortable on water maps, as he often picks them against strong opponent (and often wins) So if we see someone with strong micro/macro + picking questionable civs + preferring water maps against strong opponents - in could be viper.
2. Lieryy/Hera - strong and confident top-level micro, no experimenting around and playing mostly solid meta, also preferring land agressive maps.
3. Daut/Tatoh - In my opinion they are very similar, as they have slower apm, also they are the ones who pull out new tricks or strategies most often. If we see someone who is clearly top10 and he is inventing some new stuff - I think it could be one of them.
4. Mr.yo - If we have guessed Viper, and then he was 0-4 my someone - someone might be mr.yo.
So what do you think guys about the analysis? What should we also look for?
