Also T1 fans don't mention BeSt enough.

He had a ridiculous OSL run, and If July didn't get a path with no Terrans he would be an OSL champion today.

The guy plays a ridiculous style and is super entertaining to watch in long games.

skt is okay because of all the star talent they always have. i presonally love oz because nothing is more satisfying then the underdog, and i'm a huge jd fan

i feel bad for fantasy though, he deserves to win an osl lol. skt fans are all over bisu but fantasy has been consistently good and he deserves more credit.

Non SKT1 fans will have something negative to say.

I dislike how everyone is all over bisu, only cheering for him when Fantasy is the heart of the team who has contributed way more (and is the successor to boxer/oov). People get so pissed off when they see fantasy instead of bisu, people should <3 all the players of their team!

Fantasy contributed way more? u stupid?

I only care about SKT1's tosses. The rest are okay.

Every team should have a mascot.

He had a cute OSL run, and then he ran into the fucking God of War.

fantasy had 41 wins this year, Bisu a mere 27.

How is it ridiculous? Different sponsors, different format, different trophies (badge vs. mouse), different stadiums, different prestige/feel, different champions, different history Not making a distinction is ridiculous. It's like saying Wimbledon and US open are the same tournament.

Your argument is that because the trophies are different, one can be considered harder and therefore relevant while the other is not?

That is in fact the weakest and least relevant part of his argument and interestingly enough the only one you commented on, yeah...

i personally don't see much from skt1 fans specifically that gives me an opinion either way, although not wanting to follow one of the "bigger" teams is what made me choose stars in the first place. now fans of individual players is another matter, some of the flash/JD fanboys can be annoying, but it's easy enough to avoid those that can't look at things objectively (cf. this month's power rank).

now, if bisu continues his rise in form and reverts to his near-bonjwa obvious #1 protoss level, maybe they might get unbearable. until then, it's only the internet discussing computer games

One thing I dislike about T1 fans is how apparently 90% of SKT zerg hate comes from them =(

SKT fans dont give Fantasy credit. i dont like him but he deserves the credit.
Also SKT1 fans are just bandwagoners for Bisu, Boxer, Oov

My main reason was Boxer and iloveoov, but with Bisu slumping and now showing signs of improvement im adding him as another favorite player

Thing is that i like Fantasy, Oov, Boxer, Bisu and the rest is garb IMO. Sure, they might be "good players" but i don't find their play any entertaining/special.

The only protoss that ever appealed to me when I was trying to learn how to play were Bisu and Stork(Nal_rA=meh, didn't see too much of Kingdom/Reach, no one else really seemed important enough), Bisu more than Stork for his amazing play style. Also SKT had Boxer and Fantasy, and I found Best to be pretty good as well.that's pretty much why I like SKT.

Honestly, I'm a fan of SKT T1 because of their "failzergs"; yes I might start jumping when I read fantasy or Bisu pulling out a clutch Ace win, but what makes for a real fan is when you start watching s2, Hyuk and n.die soo, and celebrating more when they don't mismicro their mutas or get a proper clone Scourge done. HyuK's got every piece of the puzzle right, he just has too much nerves to perform consistently, while s2's relatively young and needs more exposure; but it looks like he's got ZvP down very nicely, must be all the practice with Bisu. For me, it's the expectation that they should still have confidence in themselves to perform well despite practicing and probably getting rolled much more than the usual by their more well-known and skilled team-mates that makes them so appealing. Also, I expect them to have much better ZvX than the average, given the quality of their performances, at least something they can aspire to. :D
