Being a regular reader and a not so frequent poster in this community and alway wondering what makes TL so special I stumbled upon a small, wonderfully insightful post in the coL.CatZ vs Europe Showmatch Series (Part II) post today. For easier reference of this masterpiece, I'd like to quote it here.

They should do this with a US player that actually stands a chance... else it's kinda boring tbh.

When reading this small piece of analysis of the current state of the game, it suddenly struck me like lightning: We all simply ignore the wisdom some posters here have and fail to see how ingenious people are, being able to compile mountains of information into a small one-liner for us. Just take a breath for a moment and try to grasp how much data, statistics and recent results you need to compile in your head to come to the conclusion: while White-Ra might actually be able to beat Catz in this series, there might be US residents he probably would not.

I really find it hard not to dwell on this any longer, but I want to tell you, what idea came to my mind after just staring at this brilliance for minutes: what could show us the value of quality posters like this better than trying to live without them; if even for a short time? Could we maybe try a day...maybe a week...a month...a year - oh no, I am dreaming... - could we try to find a day where we all agree that the few people here who are able to produce insightful one-liners out of all the information on the oh so wide internet stop giving us the pleasure to feed on their endles wisdom?

Just imagine a whole day...maybe a week...a month...a year..an eternity - I am dreaming again... without anyone telling us that KR>EU>US>SEA, that US residents are all fat, that TotalBiscuit is not as insightful as Tastosis, that Elly gets sad when you don't donate all you time and money into e-sports, that Idra has not gged in a ladder game, that BW>SC2 and that 1/1/1 is OP?

Just imagine it for a moment...

coL fanboyism is much more annoying than IdrA or HuK fanboyism-- at least they have the skill to back it up.
