@fbueckert What I do know is asking about general strategies is better than asking about one specific player's.

@fbueckert He can mention as a side note: "[Pro X] is very successful. How can I incorporate some of his strategies?"

@OrigamiRobot I agree with this.
The difficulty with really deep strategy games, however, is that if you don't discuss specific things that specific people did, you're not really fully realizing the depth.
You could write books just on Jaedong's influence to the SC meta/strategy.
I don't know exactly where I stand, so I'm not voting to reopen or to close.

I totally agree, but asking about things that specific shouldn't be the entire focus.

I think our site could use more content that dives really deep into very specific strategies.
I think that's one of the main things it's missing to get some really hardcore audiences for fighting games or RTS games.

If you want good ZvP strategies, just ask that. Mention Jaedong as a sidenote. That way, you're not walling yourself in with details.

I think asking what strategies Jaedong uses in a certain situation is a bad question.
Asking, "I saw Jaedong did this in this situation; why was that a good play/how did it lose him the game?" is a good question.

I agree.
Jaedong is just coincidental to that situation.

@OrigamiRobot Yes, in the latter question it wouldn't have mattered who the player was. "This situation occurred. How did it affect the result of the game?"
