Jaehoon: We've been preparing for SC2 before other teams, and I think we try harder. Also, we're receiving some help as we practice. I can't tell you what it is, but it gives us an advantage.
Might be over the line here.. but this is why u guys have no sponsor.... your shitty proleague performance...
I can't help but feel betrayed. Say what you will about what it means. But the majority of us wholeheartedly supported the players, week after week, always believing in them. Its not entirely their faults, but this whole situation, especially with Team 8 makes me incredibly bitter. Irrational?, so be it -_-. Hope of BW...right...
Id bet on that "advantage" being contacting Coach Lee, HyuN and TSL for help...(ex-MBC).
It's better just to cleanly let BW die. Convincing BW fans to switch isn't off to a good start...with all the rage induced. Im still attached to the players and the teams. As long as its contained within the 8 teams, Ill watch most of it. Not happy with the format, but w/e it allows me to sleep earlier. Alternating sets would have been stupid, but if they had a BW ace match, Id sit through the whole thing :/, this way? I might just sleep after set 3...lol.
At least Ace isn't disbanding, I hope they announce the rosters soon :/ curious about who's leaving if any...

Yes and No.
HotS will disrupt the playing field, but that means there will be more differences between SC2 and BW.

SC2 should not be used for ace match
I'll be shocked if the SC2 games won't look like early GSL matches where T & P players do a ton of 1/2 base builds because comfort level to play beyond that isn't there yet in terms of feel and game sense That's the feeling I'm getting too. There will probably be only a handful of games worth watching, but I'm totally expecting the mash and bash shit like you.
If that's the case, then there's always the GSL for high level games.

Oh cool, I guess now I get to pick a BW team to cheer for.

actually the pinnacle was two years ago. i cant see the players practicing as they did in the past with SC2 hitting the corner and uncertainty behind it.

So much hype. Looks like next Sunday is a write off for me! Can't wait to see Bisu in Sc2. Hopefully he stick with Protoss.

we should make a thread about this.....new fan recruitment thread.

Light: I think Zerg looks the weakest, and Terran is a race that looks strong when played well. However, I haven't reached that level yet, and TvP is a bit hard.
This made me laff though.
Oh Light <3 some things never change

That's a brilliant idea actually, a hype thread including all the teams and to let the sc2 fans decide who to cheer for.

Yeah the pinnacle was when Bisu/Jaedong/Stork/Flash first reached the scene and cemented themselves as the top 4. And then it all went downhill after the the matchfixing. Everyone seems to lost all motivation to get ahead of the competition.

Wow, May 19th is the GSL finals and May 20th is the 11 Hour Super Mega Opening Day Elephant Incoming Special. Going to be huge.
I know a lot of people hate SC2, but this is gonna make this season incredibly interesting. For the past three fucking years it's been KT and SKT1 atop of the ladder and playing in the finals, but with SC2 thrown in, all the teams are now at even playing grounds. With ACE saying they're good at SC2, they might actually get a postseason for once.

It means there will be a more equal playing field between all players. It will change a lot of things. It's weird that they're going to start off on WoL. I would have just waited until HotS.

Yeah, but they just said they're practicing between two different games man. The format is still a pain in the ass. From a pure competitive standpoint; it's ugly and the results just won't matter.
Would have been more fun if it were just SC2.
