I was bored at work and thinking what the comparisons would be between football (soccer) teams and BW players, and some came to mind that were surprisingly accurate so i thought i'd post this for a laugh. If you got no idea about football then you probably shouldn't bother reading. In current football league order:

Manchester United - Jaedong
Massive amount of titles behind them, and a force that you always know will be near the top. Usurped by Chelsea/Flash last season but favorites to win a title this year.

Arsenal - Bisu
The consistent underachiever always trying to relive past glories but never quite getting there. Shows signs of brilliance in their play but lose when it counts. Fans resigning themselves to not even expecting a title win.

Manchester City - Kal
Has developed into a consistently strong player capable of taking games from the best but still seems to be not strong enough to earn a title. Always loses to Manchester United/Jaedong no matter what the effort put in.

Chelsea - Flash
Current title holders and strong in every area, the ones who took first place from Manchester United/Jaedong last season. Currently has a blip in form but you know they will be right at the top contending for number 1 at the end.

Tottenham - Fantasy
Local to Arsenal/Bisu, shows signs of excellent play and has a lot of flair and is capable of beating the big names sometimes but also losing to inferior opponents unexpectedly. One day a title may come to them and they may become superior to their local team/player..

Bolton - Shine
Never a contender before and never expected to do much, currently is contending for top spots and is on a major good run of form, but can it last?

Sunderland - Hydra
Appeared last season and has great moments and shows some skilled play, currently ranked highly but will it last the whole season.

Newcastle - BeSt
Once a powerhouse, after a very long slump/relegation they are back and are capable of beating anyone on the right day, but will probably not be competing for the top spots come the end of the season.

Liverpool - Stork
Once one of the best unquestionably, but in recent times never quite lived up to expectations. Fans hope they can achieve past glories.

Blackpool - Soulkey
A relative newcomer who shows a very attacking and fun to watch style of play, time will tell if they manage to keep it up and stay at the top level though.

WBA - Snow
A pretty new player with some exciting plays and has managed to take games from big names, but currently remains as a second rate player.

Stoke - Light
A consistently boring player that only excels at one thing (TvZ/set piece goals). Sometimes they can beat the best and sometimes not, they probably overachieved last season.

Blackburn - Midas
Probably has aspirations higher than they should have and will likely remain sub A-class forever.

Aston Villa - Leta
Once up there with the top 6 consistently, currently struggling under new management.

Everton - Jangbi
Another player who used to be near the top but is currently in crisis. Local to Liverpool/Stork.

Birmingham - Sea
A defensive fortress that does great in one area (proleague/home record) but will never really compete for a title.

Fulham - Movie
Lucked their way to a big final last season and will probably never reach those heights again.

Wigan - Perfectman
The whipping boy of the entire league, its a wonder how they manage to stay in the top division/a-team.

Wolves - Action
Wacthing their games suggests they have potential but they seem to be performing terribly in results in contrast to their skill this season.

West Ham - Hyuk
Somehow remains at the top division for so long despite playing terribly, will once in a blue moon pull off a win but mostly is bad.


Ok that was a lot of pointless words but if you are familiar with football you might mind some of the comparisons funny and surprisingly accurate (Bisu - Arsenal is perfect). I thought of defensive teams as Terrans and attacking as Zergs as you can see.

I don't really follow premiership league, but I have a couple of friends who are huge Arsenal fans. They remind me of Bisu fans. ^^

Everton - JangBi gotta be my favorite, lol.

Leta and hyuk are brilliant. Cool blog idea. Just as 2pacalypse said, the arsenal fans I know are the same as the bisu fans.

This is pretty accurate, those comparisons u make.
Liverpool totally was so true, but didn't expected Chelsea compared with Flash.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

People do the same thing watching Bisu games too.

Chelsea had to be Flash really as they are FA cup and title holders and favourites to win the league from the start, and were miles ahead until the last few games.

Jaedong as Man United isn't the greatest. Maybe Flash would be better, seeing how they're expected to win anything but occasionally get knocked out early hilariously. Or perhaps Shine, as they're also universally hated

Leeds United - (P)TheRock

He was actually famous not that long ago, and played well in Champions ProLeague. Then his skills went bankrupt, and today noone knows which division he is at, or if he even exists. Still remembered best for eliminating Manchester United from FA Cup:

Jaedong is Federer and Flash is Nadal obviously
I think esports is pretty nice.

i'm surprised so many fit so nicely haha

as an arsenal fan, and a bisu fan

i only hang on to the memories of Arsenal's Invincibles, and Bisu's 3 MSLs.

now they're both going to shit
Bisu out of OSL, and likely won't win the MSL..
Arsenal got Barca as their Champions draw, so not even ro8 this time around. In the Premier League, I think I'm already hearing the "Next season's our season.. Next season's our season.." ringing in my head.. as we always have since what, 5-6 years ago?

and the last title was a goddamn FA cup. wtflol

it's time to face reality. Arsenal cannot win the Premier league.. Wenger even partly blamed the damn pitch they played on at Old Trafford as being to bouncy and slippery. oh come on man

fuuuuuck somebody win a title!
blind bisu free and anytime fanboy.

Not sure about the others but associating Arsenal with Bisu is 100% exact

LOL, how appropriate. I'm a Man United and JD fan. Love the playstyles of both so this is a perfect analogy for me.

Amusingly accurate list . I have no particular attachment to certain progamers/premiership teams but I like watching ones that play good BW/football.
No I'm never serious.
