Talk to me about the elephant losing at an NA event to a college student and a grump Swede.


Just like biggest eSF prodigy Life losing to lower tier foreigners Sjow, shit happens.

well, at least the college student is really good at playing sc2, so I wouldn't be ashamed of that.

losing to naniwa on the other hand... well ok, he also somehow beat jaedong and took a game of from polt, so maybe he ahd a good day.

Oh Dear, It's your fault for losing to Naniwa.

That was fun to watch. Somewhere, out here, careful research is being done to prove that it was all a fluke and the Elephant is still alive.


It's already been laid out. Hyun is 'essentially KeSPA' and made it to the finals.



Depends on what people's definition of a Kespa player is.

Some Kespa fans say that they're fans of Kespa players because they believe that the training environment and infrastructure that Kespa teams provide means that they should be the best. That means that players not on a Kespa team shouldn't count as Kespa.

This article really needs to be cleansed by fire.

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

He, if people didn't act like Innovation and Flash were the second coming, we would all be ok.

Those two are legit ballers though, currently anyway! It's when even the mediocre Kespa players are elephated and overhyped that annoys me personally

Its almost like them being in Kespa has nothing to do with it and its really about Innovation and Flash. Its almost like, the Elephant was a pile of crap all along.

No, It's not just innovation and Flash.
Right now the top 10 of most people's list is SPL player dominated.
Although I disagree with some of the contents of the piece, the top SPL players have shown to be more efficient, mechanically superior players with their rigorous training system.

It was not a fluke. Naniwa played exceptionally well. That being said, it proves absolutely nothing. You can maybe make the inference that Naniwa could probably hang around with mid-tier Kespa players or Code A players as that is exactly what Dear is over a 1 game sample size.
The elephant never died. It's always been alive and it's clearly getting more evident about the SPL player's dominance although the few top tier GSTL players are able to keep up. That has been being scene in Asian Games Qualifiers, Code A qualifiers, Up/Downs, and Code S.

Okay, let's talk about that.
Polt and Naniwa beat Dear.
Where are you going with this?

except foreigners actually edge out a considerable amount of wins. the situation is far from being as bad as it was in BW.

I just realised the unintentional play of words with your username.

hah.
