Probably on eSports TV just not English nor a dedicated English website.

It's really disappointing because SC2 fans are quite fickle about casters not being in English.

Isn't he only mid-masters? That's not actually good.

Lee Jae Gyun (Stars): Light suffered a lot at the hands of Protoss in SC1, so he tried Protoss at first, but after three days of excruciating practice, he changed back to Terran. No player in particular has switched races. A Zerg player has said he'd try out Terran, but it turned out he needed a lot of practice.


Oh how I laughed


Apparently, this is pretty common, people race-switching for like two hours and switching back.

Q: You said that you think this season is good for your team, could you elaborate?
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).


If your secret weapon is Hyun, who's 0-3, you're probably in trouble.

I don't think it will take BW players a year to catch up simply because their main shortcomings (most likely), the strategies and late game understanding, are going to be completely nuked for everyone SC2 and BW alike when Heart of the Swarm is released probably at the end of this year or the start of 2013. Then we'll have a mostly even footing for everyone, though probably with plenty of balance problems that would need be hammered out.


Yes and No.

HotS will disrupt the playing field, but that means there will be more differences between SC2 and BW.


HotS is also (somewhat) mechanically harder due to more interesting units like the Oracle, according to people who've played it. That maybe helps the BW players?

The only part of the comments I found amusing were that so many of them found Z imbalanced and weak. Something everyone else has been saying for a long time. Good to see the masses of pros and coaches think so too. Hope HotS fixes these issues. So far the beta map hasn't felt too promising to me. The "siege" units are basically just npc-spawning units.


Zerg is getting buffed literally tomorrow. The Oracle is a really good unit, and the Viper's pretty neat, I guess, 'cause it's like a defiler?

EVeryone saying Protoss is strong and Zerg is shit. People who have played this game for <month knows what Blizzard apparently doesn't? :D??? In all seriousness, everybody please stick to your races TT_TT


Protoss are smashing everyone in the GSL at the moment. Blizz says it's on Terran to use mid-game map control to secure a late game advantage. Zerg, as I mentioned, will be stronger tomorrow, but most likely the reason BW players don't like it is because it's a reactive race and they don't know how to react yet. .

Man, if Flash does anything less then perfectly, the reactions will be hilarious. But yes, we're looking January 2011 Code A level play here.

You'd be surprised. There was an SC2 tournament in Paris last week, and all of Reddit was watching the French commentary for some reason.

Probably the most interesting thing is if and when they start playing current SC2 progamers. Perhaps by allowing them to participate in GSL prelims. It would be a funny sight to see TBLS makikng their way up through Code B/A.

This is everything wrong with SC2....

FWIW, Day9 is in full agreement with Blizzard on this issue. And if they're wrong, Blizzard has shown they can be counted on to do the smart thing as a last resort. (The queen energy buff was basically vetoed by State of the Game, and Maka famously got Void Rays nerfed)

I'd trust Blizzard over Idra

That would probably be the worst thing to happen. If Flash loses to some Code B scrub it'll turn off all the BW elitists and SC2 viewership will go down. FXOBoss had a very interesting blog post in which he said the bubble for SC2 has already ended, so it's a very critical time for SC2. Best case scenario would be for TBLS to do extremely well, but no one player dominates.

My interpretation of the Jaehoon quote:

Possibility 1. The head coach of TSL is Lee Woon-Jae, who was the coach for MBCGame (You guys will recognize him if you watched Hyungjoon Becomes a Progamer). I think it is highly likely that TSL is helping Team 8 practice for SC2.

Possibility 2. Ju Hoon was the head coach for SKT1 during Boxer's days. Since Boxer is the owner of SlayerS, his team is helping with practice.

What do you guys think?

It's very doubtful any of the TBLS loses to some random SC2 progamer(not from one of current BW clubhouses). That said, as long as the BW pros do very well as a group, I don't think it really matters. The ranking may not be the same as they are now, but I think there's overall so much talent it doesn't matter. Perhaps Bisu falters a bit and Best does better. Perhaps Jangbi go back loser king but Shine starts trolling Code S. In the end, there will certainly be a huge influx of talent and they will do well as a group.

Edit: But yes, the most recognizable players not playing well probably would hurt the scene somewhat. But I think most of them will. I can't imagine they won't given how smart they are at RTS.

I don't know, Bisu loses to random progamers in qualifiers already.
