Daut is winning everybody because he is probably the smartest figuring out how to play in an unexplored condition (a new game in this case). Once everybody knows how to play it, he will start losing to other super tops.

You need to have the WololoKingdoms mod installed (you must own the HD expansion on Steam to be able to install it). Then you can select this as the data mod. You should also set the Patch to the same version of the UP Beta that the games were played on, otherwise it may go out of sync (I think these games were played on patch R4, but I might be mistaken about that).How do you watch these games??

I'm convinced that Viper's single biggest asset in tournament play is the ability to remain completely and utterly calm when he's in the spotlight. He literally doesn't experience any pressure. That's it. Nothing more.
I can't believe that when compared with DauT, slam, RiuT, Yo, TaToH, Nicov, Liereyy or Tim, his speed or knowledge of the game sets him apart. I've watched those other players play on their streams in rated games, and watched their YouTube Channels and their speed/skill/knowledge is at least as good as Viper's. Those aren't the factors that set him apart.
I would wager Viper's best ability is to observe mistakes from an opponent and he knows how to exploit them. Also, he makes fewer mistakes as well.
There are few other things I believe that sets Viper apart from others, but not more important than these two.
Viper is significantly faster than any other player I've ever seen stream.

RiuT is like 3x faster than Viper.

but I would wager Viper's best ability is to observe mistakes from an opponent and he knows how to exploit them. Also, he makes fewer mistakes as well.
I also think he has this uncanny ability of reading the game better than his opponents, which allows him to always be 1 step ahead in terms of strategy. Part of it comes from him constantly scouting throughout the whole game, the rest is him just being really smart at this game, sometimes taking hints from seemingly uninteresting actions from his opponent, etc.
Also I know some pro players try to underplay the role that actual speed has in becoming a great player, but I still think it plays a MAJOR role: if you are faster, you can attack with more groups of small units, keep track of every single one of them and still take care of your economy at the same time. There's no other ability that allows you to do that than just raw speed. And Viper is at the top of that list too.
Of course I'm talking about "relevant actions per minute"-speed and not simply spamming useless clicks around the screen (AKA the "DreaIVI's speed if you will :lol: )
You cant compare speed of these top players when almost all of them have the speed to do all the things they need to do. Spam clicking and so on doesnt make you faster. Riut doesnt achieve 3x times more than Viper with his "3x speed".
