I will stop shitting on them when they start being good.

No, because Secret is still going to win. In fact, this helps my argument about new talent.


I don't think it's possible for any spectator to argue that Secret wasn't then favourite for TI5.

CDEC winning this shows yet again that new talent > old.

Secret and EG are full of old talent


But both have new talent. Well, in the case of Secret it's two year old talent, but still pretty new.

Isn't 2 years a long time in competitive gaming though? I wouldn't call someone a "young gun" if they started playing professionally 2 years ago in StarCraft...


Are we talking about Dota? Dota is a game that's been around for 10+ years. Arteezy was not even a professional in 2013.

RTZ was on Kaipi, he was not full-time but there is no reason to not consider him a pro by that time. Also, StarCraft been here longer than Dota and 2 years is still a long time in it.


He was playing in his off time; were we to consider every player who's ever tried to play tournaments on a third rate team a pro, then no one in Dota is new. Except Sumail.

My point exactly.


That's a stupid way of looking at this game. By that argument, no one in Starcraft is new too.

And what makes you think this argument is wrong? Also, i talk tier 2/3 teams in WPC ACE, i don't talk about random online qualifiers.


Because it is wrong. Playing on a professional team is very different from playing on a team that doesn't even have a team house.

In Starcraft a player whose apparent prime was in 2007-2008 would not be able to come back and win an international tournament in 2013.

I don't want to start an argument about mechanical demand, but from their respective histories, it's pretty clear that Starcraft is a game that's way more punishing to older players that are past their prime. The comparison to Starcraft in this regard is really not that appropriate.

You do have a point, granted due to my poor memory for some reason i think you're referencing Jaedong who well, did win a tournament in 2013. Or worse even, Flash, who did win a tournament in 2014. (both international, neither came close to winning real tournaments in SC2).

Lol, how many teams do you think had team houses from TI1-4?

Star2's kind of a different beast. I was actually referring to Loda winning TI3.

I'd argue that neither Flash nor Jaedong actually hit their peak till as late as 2009/2010.

For SPG proper we need Arteezy and no bOne but he's lost to Secret sadly.
