Re: TheViper (vs) DauT Titans Battle ! 29o
niceLooking at how Bling does in SC2, I'm sure there are more AOC players that could reach a high SC2 level, but the problem is that SC2 players practice 6+ hours a day, some even up to 12, so it's way too extreme. Catching up to players that have played like that for 3 years now would be impossible.
My account is a shared account with my cousin too though, so it's not all me, but I play now and then when I feel for some variation. Played some 2v2's with Jordan the other day, it's great fun!
When I played actively for a couple of weeks in a row I reached high masters, 2200+ points on the ladder, so I wasn't too far off GrandMasters then if I understand the system correctly. Had a positive winrate vs the GrandMasters I met on ladder as well. Could probably have reached it if I tried, but I prefer keeping SC2 as a just for fun game and rape AOC instead! I don't have the same fun in AOC that I had before where I could enjoy the casual teamgame with 18xx players and 1v1s vs random 2ks, so I need SC2 as a "relaxing" distraction from AOC if I want to play something or spend time and have some fun. As far as I know, DauT was pretty good at SC2 when it was released as well, and played on level then with some of the guys who are top 50 in EU now, Bling being up there too. Bling reached Round of 32 in the WCS Europe this season, which is a very good achievement! Capoch doing really well too!
It's a game demanding more speed, more precision and more attention to tiny detail. I think playing SC2 has helped me improve in AOC, both in speed, understanding of execution of certain strategies and other important aspects of RTS.
