Better read the bloody thing again cause it was not even close to what it claimed. 300 in a couple months is not even close to what we got now. Hell once HoTS came out this article was already invalid since its a fresh start so the whole "they got a lead" was gone. But whatever, people won't read text and start with the "you need to read between the lines" and still say it was right when it was proven wrong numerous time. | ||

But whatever, people won't read text and start with the "you need to read between the lines" and still say it was right when it was proven wrong numerous time. That's hardly what the article claimed and that's not controversial at all. The entire point of the article was that KeSPA wouldn't be just 'a little bit better' or 'better', but that the worst KeSPA B-teamers woulda absolutely smash the best eSF players. Saying 'the KeSPA players can go toe to toe and maybe be a bit better than the eSF players' (there are more KeSPA players by the way) is hardly an 'elephant in the room'. Apart from that, the article also claimed the skill transition would be linear, that didn't happen as well. I mean, you can't do a lot more but feel sorry for Stork and Bisu at this point, forced to switch to a different game where they don't really shine. Sure, Flash is good, he's great, but Innovation is magnificent. Bogus did not come close to Flash in BW. | ||

Actually not a bad read, but the impact it has had on LR threads and fuelling obnoxious posters is huge  | ||

Actually not a bad read, but the impact it has had on LR threads and fuelling obnoxious posters is huge It completely ruined the whole transition of the kespa players to sc2. What should have been a ton of skilled people joining the game and increasing the skill level turned into a cockfight without end. | ||
