Monty's "You Got Played" post, about Starcraft, and surrounding thread
To this day, I use the Pete Sampras serving analogy all the time.
Can you please use it again today so I can hear it? Does it have anything to do with the hairs on his chest acting like a cat's whiskers?
-Pieter
In short, it's "If you can't beat the Koreans at Starcraft, it's not because Starcraft is broken - it's actually because you suck."
And something about hitting balls.
Paraphrased:
If you try to play tennis against Pete Sampras, he'll ace you on every serve. You'll never touch the ball. Is this because tennis is broken? Because Sampras is cheap or cheating? No, it's because he's out there every day practicing his serve. You're inside on the internet or playing Quake and he's hitting balls. You're complaining about how hard it is to return serves, lobbying to have serves removed from the game, and he's hitting balls. You'll complain that Sampras is all-serve and has no volley game, but how would you know? You'll never see it. Why should Sampras do anything more than out serve you? The baseline for entry into the high level game is returning serve, then the rest of the game starts. You can't get past step one.
