Double standards all the time lols.

its like sc2
It's only Azarkon to be fair.


My stance is that LGD is an international team, both Western and Eastern. So do me a favor and never quote me again on double standards.
I will not do you a favour.

You look at results and pick the ones that support your preconceived notions or bend them to do so. It's just funny to most of us at this point.


You do the same, and on top of it you make strawmans. For example, saying that I'm going to call LGD.int a Western team in case they win, and an Eastern team in case they lose. I've never done that.
You should realize that I don't take what you say seriously and anything I say about you is mostly just joking because of the silly things you say.


You know I said what I said in that post you quoted in order to stimulate discussion about the value of Chinese training, given that Alliance and Na'Vi were doing fine without going to China for ten months?

Who do you think will be most western (best) team at the end of this TI? Na'Vi really becomes eastern sometimes (plays bad) so I'm not as sure about them as I am about Alliance (they are the westernest so far).


Uh what

Playing Eastern == Playing bad?

14-0 is being able to compete?

I'm sure you think iG and LGD last year were just able to compete, too.

Their style could be considered indicative of their western roots - there really aren't any chinese teams that play like them

Different situation, obviously. Because, as far as I know, Western players practicing in Korean teamhouses don't get half a treating LGD.int got in China.

I don't have a huge stake in this but an implied double standard has surfaced in the past. When LGD.Int was on their honeymoon period, you were touting LGD.Int as the exemplar of how a Western [not International] team, cobbled together for a brief few months, could match the Chinese elite. You weren't outspoken about their status as an international team, just their Western background.

It doesn't undermine your position, but it does question your impartiality regarding the status of LGD.Int.

Azarkon, I think it's kind of dangerous to say "West > East" when you are only talking about two teams. It's way more likely that those two teams are more the exception than the rule.
