Naturals up for both players SkyHigh pressuring Light with a vulture and two marines Light has no offensive units left Delays the CC, may force the cancel
Mass repair on Light's lone vulture Skyhigh poking down some scvs 5 kill vulture -_- face fighting <3 Second fact done for light, second fact just starting for Skyhigh
First tank out for Skyhigh Four facts on the way for him also Light's nat is finally up and running now I think SkyHigh's was up for the entire duration of his vulture pressure Speed vultures moving out, 4 of them Third fact being added for Light
Skyhigh has the superior vulture count Microing the vultures perfectly to keep them alive Four vultures vultures get into the main, 3 in the nat Tons of scvs going down One tank going to clean up, but more and more vultures streaming
60-33 supply Skyhigh in the lead Two tanks out, but one falls to the mass vultures Mines just finish now too being laid at the top of Light's ramp CC getting focused down at Light's nat Academy is up, and comsats are up Siege mode not done yet
CC is under half hp Two port follow up for Skyhigh CC still taking tons of fire, but he pulls back with his vultures Wraiths being produced out of the ports now Armory being added for Light
Thank you to MountainDewJunkie for the thread too btw <3 Acad and comsats added too for Skyhigh, clears the mine field Skyhigh and Light engage in the middle of the map The Three naked tanks get torn though 73-36 supply Light in a ton of trouble, no defenses to speak of
Tank eats a mine as it rallies out to the top of the ramp Three wraiths out, Skyhigh should just fly them over Tanks just rallied to the top of the ramp, as a second dies GG from Light Skyhigh takes set 1 in BW for CJ 1-0
Could it more more clear that the fans have given up on proleague? There are no fans in the audience, there are no SC2 fans watching (and no SC2 LR threads), and the BW fans has whittled down to 3 KT fans, an STX fan, and X10A.
I made this LR thread 11 minutes after the games started.
eh, cuz the excitement of maybe getting one decent BW set (or sctoo set, I guess for hardcore fans of that) is far outweighed by either having stuff to do or not caring.
White people filming, whoa cameraception Pool first for Soulkey, 9 pool gas Hero going to get the overlord scout advantage No pool for Hero just yet maybe hatch first
Soulkey going to apply some pressure to Hero's 12 hatch Hero pulling drones, Hatch is goign to go down One drone falls Hatchery falls Hero in tons and tons of trouble now Lings out for Hero now too
Speedlings vs non-speedlings Soulkey expos behind his Ling pressure, and buying time for his mutas to come out Soulkey gets the runby into Hero's main A spore is finished at the nat, a sunken is morphing in the main of Hero

KeSPA tried to please everyone and they ended up pleasing no-one, really. They need to take some action, I think. At the very least, they need to update the SC2 map pool (it's all small-to-medium maps. Put Whirlwind in, take maybe Ohana out). I don't even know what they can do on the BW side at this point, though.
It's only a few more weeks before KeSPA players have to face GSL players (Monday, if you count the show matches, but no one takes those that seriously). If they get trounced, I think that's almost it for Proleague. There's no way they can survive as a poor man's GSTL.
I don't know if they could've saved it through BW somehow (maybe tried to renegotiate with Blizzard, who no longer really needs them), but the switch to SC2 is starting to turn into a disaster.
Well they could have separated SC2 PL and a BW one but nooooo, they have to shoot themselves in the foot. S.Korea will still be big in ESPORT for SC2 and LoL but after that point, its only downhill.

The thing is, GSTL format is kind of retarded for a teamleague. I think the bigger sponsors (say, a KHAN-SKT-STX cabal) have the clout to impose a reasonable format on KeSPA, while I don't see the GSL gogogogo format working long-term. So what I'm really afraid of now is that the sponsors don't care and contracts will simply run out and then... who knows.

There'd be no point in doing it that way. All the big BW names would just stay in BW, so they'd only suck the future out of BW even more to create an SC2 league composed entirely of SC2 noobs who were also no-names.

The GSTL format really does suck, but it's a lot easier for GOM to change it than for KeSPA to convince SC2 fans to care about KT Rolster. .

yea. I dont like an ODT and all-kill format for a teamleague. For some reason, in SC2/Gom seems individual tournaments are given a much higher priority while BW/Ogn gives a higher importance to teams through Proleague. Im still not sure what will the consecuences of this will be, but establishing teams will be difficult if they are less important in competitions

GSTL is a terrible teamleague. The first couple were great, then they went away from round robin groups for reasons that aren't at all clear to me, and instead chose a horribly confusing and anti-climactic format. Plus GOM runs what feels like 20 events a year, which really waters down the history and the build.

In part due to the format. While SC2 is considered less interesting that BW (except for the rare game where all the stars align) generally, SPL SC2 has been unusually bad SC2. So, while there were always going to be people who just didn't like SC2, KeSPA wasn't exactly making a case for it.
The KeSPA obs is also, I'm noticing, pretty bad with SC2. Lizzy had a game last night, and did all kinds of constant nonstop harass all over the map (unusual for SC2 protoss), and the KeSPA obs missed pretty much all of it. He just stared at Lizzy's army in the middle of the map until suddenly Zerg didn't have a main or natural. It was like he was purposefully trying to keep the game from being interesting as some form of BW supremacist.

nah kespa just ignores what people want and do what some corporate sponsor wants. I don't really blame them for having to switch to sc2 (various reasons of sponsorship for bw drying up; everyone who bothers to show up in this thread knows those reasons lol) but it's pretty obvious everyone knew a mixed format would be shitty.

Yes, maybe there are way too many tournaments. Gom should run an stable season- teamleague instead of a short volatile one. Gom gives too much priority to individual tournaments

That's where Kespa have been doing wrong. They should have kept the fans in the dark in situations like this if Diehard ones wanted to move on. They should even told the players at the beginning of this OSL that this SHALL BE THE LAST OSL. For god's sake, they announced it like shortly after Group Stage. Do any of you know how depressed must some players be for believing that they might have a second strike after this one (cough Bisu cough)? Effort didn't even pass the Prelimries! Jaedong is knocked out at group stage! If they announced to the players this news, the level of play will skyrocket like no tomorrow, everybody fighting their absolute best for it. But now so many players got the short end of stick. Fuck man, fuck kespa.
Effort still annoying Shy, two get through the four zealots Lurker eggs morphing, wanting to break the back door Shy has a storm, some lings and a few hydras fall One cannon falls too, only three? left Corsair fleet is going to take out a few overlord, up to 7?

It's gotten to the point where individual players are getting sponsorships, instead of teams. But a lot of SC2 stars made their names in the Team League back when it was treated seriously (MMA, DRG). I think it makes the scene less stable, honestly. Players can have off days more easily than whole teams can.

KeSPA's always been kind of douchey, but they're not going to be able to get away with it now that they'll have real competition.
Lurkers trying to sneak into the backdoor, but cannons ward them off Effort has no forces to clear off anything Zealots and a DT are going to get ferried into the mineral only of Effort Effort supply capped at 99/87 supply DT going to rape the mineral line in the main 5 drone kills I think
The drop gets cleaned up pretty well, only losing a few units, taking a bit of damage to the mineral only hatchery Shy adding a ton of gates, and robo is up Lurkers get cleared out of the mineral only backdoor
Defilers are in play now Shy looking to take a fourth at 3 oclock Cracklings try to counter, but zealots and a goon are there to defend +2 attack done for Shy 1-1 for melee, 1-0 for ranged zerg I think Forge spinning
A group of hydras going to die at 7 oclock, by Shy's main army Pretty indecisive, Effort oging for a big crackling counter at the 3 oclock Storm but it doesn't kill anything Three HT and one bad storm between them Lings eat through a few cannons, but Effort's force gets cleaned up
Did 7 oclock have a hatchery? Drones getting transferred, get killed off Huge plague on Shy's army Storm on the lings try Effort tries to surround the army with 7 oclock did have a hatch and it fell apparently o.o
Shy seems to be a step ahead of effort. Knew that drop was coming. Preempted the attack at his fourth. It's close, but he seems to be dictating play now.
Both players banking quite a few resources each Huge drop in the main of Shy Catching a ton of HT just warping in from Aiur Lings running into the mineral only too Towards the 7 oclock too! The army at 7 oclock gets destroyed, and the main drop finally gets cleaned up
Yet another drop into the main 0-1-3 for Shy's upgrades 7 oclock is finally taken Effort dropping yet again into the main The gates are getting crushed Shy is totally out of position
Huge drop and runby by effort doing some damage to Shy's infrastructure. Gates not powered. Shy back in his base. Another drop from effort damaging production again. Repulsed fairly easily. Complete reversal of roles, Shy on the defensive. Drop after drop from effort, Shy falling apart.
27 kill HT at the minearl only Goes up to 30 before death by Cow Shy looking like he's very flustered Mineral only falls GG from Shy Effort my captain <3
Two FATAL mistakes from Shy (easily fixed) Shy forgot to take care of those extra units at the left bottom corner lol Shy didn't coordinate well when he did the elevator, too slow with it, should have went in right after Zealots got dropped. Effort would be distracted and wouldn't have lost 3 HTs to those Zerglings.

So how many people does that leave? Six?
Pretty much at every single weekend like on Saturday, fans will show up in hoping for ggs. Like last weekend, it was almost filled up or yesterday to a lesser extend (seats were filled but the stands are almost empty) and then on Sunday, the stadium would be almost deserted! Like in round 1, there is a Khan game where all you saw was a middle age man with his son, 2 teenage guys and 1 row (so around 5) Stork's fangirls. Then after BW's game, the middle age man left the audience which leaves exactly 7 people in total. The most depressing sight I have seen in ProLeague.
And then you would go watch OSL live. Group stages, Round of 8, all of them are packed tightly with loud cheers you would expect for a BW game.

I'm actually getting angry at how bad these guys are. Why do I bother with SPL? They're not getting any better.
Kespa players will be allowed to join GSL Most of them will suck And surely retirement/military will ensue They will quit esport
What will happen with ProLeague?
After the rule of not taking any player from GOM teams wears off, the 6 rich sponsored team will purchase any guys from the existing S.Korea SC2 teams due to their high payment. Knocking out prob nearly all the BW guys.
As stork said "if you don't do well in SC2, its over for you man."
But what probably will happen in BW is that China and SK BW players will find each other online through Fish and VS Battle Platform, there will be a new spark of interest in China and clan wars will happen very often and we'll get 2 individual leagues.
Rax, getting technology add on, fact is done for Snow, fire vulture being made, starport being added to the technologu building CC is just about done for Sin, in base not on the low ground Fact just started for Sin too
Am i the only one who feel everyone calling these players trash are overreacting? I see no difference from these games compared to the homestory cup games between say Hasuobs and empire happy for example. People are just jumping on the bandwagon to trash these players or BW fans just want to feel justified by hoping their players suck at SC2 to show how bad a move it was.

Sin gonna pressure, with a siege timing? Snow loses a marine without doing much, but scouts the army Stim almost done for Snow, and ebay is just about done too Tank being rallied across the map too
Sin adding two rax after third CC Sin catches a drop with his AAship, loses the AAship after the marines get unloaded Third CC is done Marine life upgrade is half way done, and Snow's own siege mode is just about finished
Stim just started for Sin, and +1 also Snow's +1 and marine life finishes now too 2 ebay for Sin Snow starting +1 armor now too Third CC just started for him also
Sin going for a push into Snow's army Snow's tank count is low now, if not non-existant +2 attack started for Sin, nothing yet for Snow Third's are up for both players +1 mech weapons for Sin too, and +2 armor for bio
Sin sieging up towards Snow's production Four drop full of marines Tons of marines die to tank shells though No vision of the tanks, or no tanks in range to kill them off Marines picking off some add ons and buildings too Snow loses his starport and a rax or two
+3 attack started for Sin Snow's upgrades are really behind Sin almost loses some tanks, but only half were unsieged Fourth base for Sin is floated over now too
Three tanks get caught by the seeing tower Fourth base under attack, before it turns into a CC with guns But it only gets to half health then it gets cleared up Drop at Sin's third Snow going to try and push through Sin's tank line, but it's spread too well
3/3 about to finish up for Sin Snow only at 2/2 I think Sin pushing into Snow's position, Snow not sieged up though Snow pushes into the line and Sin's army gets crushed
Snow has a 30 supply lead for the time being Pretty small engagement, Sin still on the back foot, but he has the bigger marine count CC with guns getting shelled by the tons of tanks Sin goign to try and kill off the army of Snow
Really nice back and forth game here. Hon_Sin seemed to have had a huge advantage but Snow has been outpositioning and out battling Honsin in the battles.
CC with guns getting mass repaired Sin eating a ton of shells too Sin didn't try and kill off the army from the back side Sin tried to go for the counter, but his fourth falls regardless
Snow's army is sandwiching Sin's at the moment Upgrades are going to even out if Sin allows the game to continue Snow's segregated army gets killed off Fourth base of Snow gets foce lifted Marines snipe it off
Snow still on four bases though, against three of Sin 3/3 just about to finish up for Snow Tons of scvs having a rave, instead of mining Sin going to push into Snow's tanks, but Snow just going to attack into Sin's army, pulls back as the siege finishes
Upgrades are even now too Supply still even, Snow starting to trail in resources, but still has the small advantage in supply Pretty big engagement, but the marines melt to the tanks Snow stims and rushes into kill a ton of tanks and healing dropships Marines run into the fourth of Sin, and kill off a few scvs
Sin surrounds on Snow's army, thi game so back and forth Two tanks shelling a ton of marines at the fifth base of Snow, CC gets sniped again Snow going to get into the fourth of Sin yet again
Snow breaks the fourth of Sin, CC falls Sin going to push into the third of Snow now as that happens! Only marines to defend, maybe a few spread out tanks Base race?
Sin's supply lead is in mostly scvs though Huge engagement, Snow gets the bigger shells off But Sin still has a 50 supply lead 5th base still untouched yet, Sin retaking his
Sin pushes into another sieged up force of tanks Snow going to hit borderline sub 100 supply Fourth and fifth are both going to go down Snow goign to fall I think here Marines beat unsieged tanks apparently, but only with healing dropship support
I think Sin gets way better engagements because Snow splits too thin and Sin splits his marines when attacking tanks while Snow doesnt taking more aoe dmg

I think you are overestimating the players. Except for a select few, most of the BW players are diamond level right now. Any decent player can recognize that their knowledge in this game isn't at a top level. The ones who are masters are always the ace match players for the most part. They play quite well.
I hope that plating upgrades for vehicles will become more valuable against marines in the future, after +2 or +3 weapons is done.
While weapons is obv the most important one of the two, pulling another shot from each tank, while being shot by fast attacking marines during flanks might prove itself to be valuable too.

Diamond Players would not have been able to react that quickly to the hellion drop, or go into late game and macro well without stacking up tons of resources.
I can't tell if your trolling because that statement is just ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure all that positional play I just watched in the TvT on Ohana was way better than what some random high ranked ladder hero could pull off. Calling these players diamond level is an insult.

Soulkey sniped another queen! +1 ranged attack for Soulkey now too 1.5 tier hydras spitting their acid at the third of Soulkey Effort has his third morphing in too
I can't even follow this anymore, stream is so laggy TT Drones getting pulled off of Effort's third defileReavers out for both players Burrow done for Soulkey, +2 ranged attack for both players, Effort's slightly ahead
What's that on Effort's evo? Looks like it stopped the research o.o defileReaver in the army now for Soulkey A ton of Effort's defileReavers die, get a few ensnareplagues off You can ensnareplague while burrowed, thats cute and usefull Lings in the third of Soulkey too Oh man
Ling follow up for Effort Tons of 1.5 tier hydras to catch them though More of them for Effort in Soulkey's third Effort trying for more and more backstabs Hydra den is up for Effort
Hydra den up for Soulkey too Queen gets sniped, as well as a few drones Huge ensnareplague on the ramp I think I dislike ZvZ in star2 Soulkey on the retreat!
1.5tier and hydra army for Effort pushes back the pure 1.5 tier hydras Passive for now on both sides, but Soulkey has three burrowed defileReavers at Effort's 3rd and fourth base area, moving out now to try and pop some eggs
Infested eggs from the defileReavers take down a few drones and Effort's third 2-1 for Soulkey, 2-2 for Effort 3-3 for Effort and Ultra Cavern for Effort

Woah. There is still a Woongjin fan here in the house.
Another pretty big engagement, some nice ensnareplagues Stream freeze Effort's hydras dominate, no 1.5 tier left for hi at all Nine ultras in production, and +1 melee upgrading 3-3 done for Effort
That was a pretty close ZvZ , but Effort just did everything faster . Got his macro hatch expanded faster tech and upgraded faster had good infestor control .

There are people like me who watch but don't post. I stopped posting in LR threads entirely a while ago because they're always overrun with people that just shit it up.
Sayle's got 1500 people watching his stream, I think that's a similar number to what proleague was getting before they went to hybrid.
jaedong saying how happy he is to win: says that he was watching other players have success in both star1 and star2 and was jealous of their results, says he is thankful to finally secure a victory.
mentioned when he saw the center barracks he thought he would lose for sure.
casters are ribbing him a bit asking if he is going to cry because he is so happy, he keeps mentioning how thankful he is

No. In just normal games they were getting like 500.
Btw, Effort is by far the best at SC2 in PL... he has an insane record.

its sad
The next PL should be much better. The players will be good, and it will be only SC2. It should finally be able to compete with GOM if they get an English stream.
I think I'll start making the SC2 LR threads if no one else will, but I'll have to steal the banners and whatever
