Elma meet = makes you better?

Post by sierra »

I'm wondering if those who have gone to elma meets (at least ones where very good players have been there) have found that they improved their skills from doing so. I kind of get the feeling that if I could see Markku, Luther, axxu, Karlis, Jeppe, whoever, playing irl then I'd maybe learn some new things about the way to play. It's one thing to watch their recs after they've played for some time, but I'm interested to know if watchin them as they cruise or hoyl would give any new insight.

Thoughts?

Yes, you learn a lot from _how_ other people play, some things are worth imitating etc..

For instance I would never have started to play with Center The Cam, if it wasn't for Elma meet...

It isn't a big problem changing back and forth, just takes 40 mins or such to get used too.
4th position in WC4 (DAMN YOU KARLIS!!!!) PWNED KARLIS IN WC5!!!!TT:39:2x:xx (you've got some playing to do Stini ;) ) When it's all over the question is not who was right. The question is who's left.

Curious topic. What can people that went to recent FEMs say about this?

Zero effect for me for sure. I guess you would need to really pay attention and spy for hours to get any kind of advantage.

I think some 10 years ago when mr saw Zweq play he got so badly demotivated for the skill difference that he pretty much retired internal höyling
