Maybe it will feature British eSports people for once.

I believe Blizzard/Activision killed SC. DotA is not big in Korea, and probably never will be. So MVP still depend on other regions to proceed with progressing.

Koreans killed sc2. Foreigners worked incredibly hard and got treated unfairly constantly. They are finally getting the money they deserve but I almost feel like the sanctions against korea aren't harsh enough.
Not enough care about SC2, it has been dying for years, even in Korea. Little to do with Kespa and everything to do with Blizzard failing.

The skill cap between the professional teams working behind the Korean players and the western teams were too high. It was like amateurs competiting against organized professionals.


KeSPA infrastructure, for eSports, is on-par with most 2nd tier Professional Futball teams in Europe. The needs a lot less & cost are a lot less, but no one ever liked to discuss just the amount of support staff KeSPA teams have. That's the entire difference.

korea had a jump start compare to everyone else in sc and they never let it go...

nothing more needs to be said...

back in those days the respect of foreigners was how many maps they can take from koreans in wcg, never mind winning it and even then korea rarely sent their best.

This isn't flame to EE btw before you get triggered. He is just the loner type anime guy who wants to do it on his own strength and won't rely on nakama.

even if this was intended to be a flame that's ok i'm not easily triggered anymore i believe lol

I wasn't sure if your one of the EE followers that are chill with some friendly ribbing or try to out a jutsu on me in anger is all.

depends on my mood admittedly i get really riled up sometimes rofl

KESPAAAAAAAA


well in the bright side there's only gonna be 2 dota regions

there's no Europe, USA, china or SEA anymore .. it's gonna be korean and foreigner like intended lol

I wonder who A-God would root for.

A-Dog plz

omg this has been the most time conscious tournament I've watched

I wonder if we'll ever find out which teams were Scrimming against each other that caused the Enigma Meta and why it still worked among them. (EG, Secret & Diggity were all using it heavily until really recently.)

Not that this relates to synderen as a player really but the qualifiers from TI2 and TI3 were pretty different compared to the current ones.
Somehow it doesn't relate to SyndereN that his teams(two different ones) qualified under his leadership.


My point was that TI2 and TI3 qualifiers were different compared to current ones (they were NA+EU combined and the level of competition wasn't the same), but by pointing this out I wasn't really trying to hint anything about Synderen.

The gap was still big, before Kespa entered SC2. It is just more prevalent now, because of what you say.

7.7k+ MMR =! mediocre.
Revise your antibias maybe?


Have you actually seen him stream or play in faceit? Compared to his peers, he is terrible. Did you watch the times when he played mid for Mouz (with the Danes...)? He is just not good mechanically. I have actually watched a lot of his games in the past to have come to this conclusion.

Maybe he is a good in game leader or drafter and I give him credit and actually respect him for that. But his mechanical skills are lacking for pro players standards.

You beat what is in front of you. Skill caps have increased, but that goes for SyndereN too, and those he play with. If this wasn't trying to hint anything about SyndereN, in a discussion about SyndereN, what was it? Filler?

EU was the deepest back then, and still is, even after the split. NA wasn't really relevant back then either. Quantic left early and so did EG the year after.
