Cooller seems to base a lot of his decisions and actions upon the particular opponent he is playing. For example, against strenx, it seemed cooller was very confident about every decision strenx was going to make, and acted accordingly to counter or negate strenx's actions. He "understands" strenx's game, and knows how to pick it apart.
The same could not be said against Pavel. Pavel (particularly on hub), seems to be just going "through the motions" a lot of the time; cutting off opponent, doing spawn damage, etc. As in, he would play the exact same style and make the exact same decisions vs 99% of the players he goes up against online.
It's almost as if Cooller depends on "knowing" his opponent, and pavel does not. As in, right now Pavel has the advantage in this match off, as the two of them haven't squared off too often agaisnt each other. However, it would appear that Cooller would have the advantage with more games being played between them, and he could "deconstruct" Pavel's style and the basis for his decisions.
Also interesting in that a lot of Coollers "learning curve" and major experience was gained on lan; with Pavel's being nigh on only online. Interesting how to different, intelligent players have evolved different styles, perhaps due to this.
How I see it anyway. It was like watching a different Cooller vs strenx in comparison to vs Pavel.
To me, it seemed as if Cooller's only purpose was to give Strenx a lesson. After completing his goal, playing Pavel was only a formality and he just wasn't as motivated.
Perhaps it's the other way around with Pavel. I imagine Cooller and Pavel play a lot and maybe Pavel is just more used to how Cooller plays. But Cooller, I think, has a psychological advantage over Strenx at this point (especially on dm6 where he is talking it).
