EPTSeriously though, Bomber is pretty good. And I'm on record saying Bomber is better than Flash before Bomber beat Flash. Don't think he's better than Innovation though, who's still probably the best player in the world.

A few TvT Bo3 wins in a recently patched mu doesn`t mean much Over half of Flash's Proleague wins were from beating players who are either Code A-ish level or not even that, while Bomber 2-0'd arguably the top 2 Terrans in the world. All depends on how you look at it, because quality of opponents matter. If you try hard enough you can almost always find a reason why someone's accomplishments aren't as impressive as they seem (like I just did with Flash's PL record). Personally I don't see the point in comparing because the fact is that Bomber isn't playing in Proleague. | ||

Personally I don't see the point in comparing because the fact is that Bomber isn't playing in Proleague. That said, Flash is by no means even in the top 5 of best Terrans. Flash is potentially the single most overrated player that SC2 has ever known. Completely overhyped due to his results in a different game. I mean, I had a discussion on IRC with someone who just after Flash won the MLG KeSPA invitational already said Flash was the best SC2 player, riiiiiight... People were calling Flash amazing when he failed to qualify for code S twice.. and this wasn't even being particularly remarkable in code A. Each time beating an average player in the first round and then losing to an average player in the second round. | ||

I'm not saying whether or not Bomber or Flash is better because it's hard to call. Bomber did 2-0 him head to head but it remains to be seen how good Bomber's TvP or TvZ is. I was simply illustrating how it's easy to downplay almost any achievement (like Scarecrow was doing with Bomber's 2-0s over Flash and Innovation) by in turn downplaying Flash's Proleague record. | ||

Well, I think Bomber is better than Flash because better overall results in tournaments they both compete in. Proleague, let's face it, isn't close to the level of play of WCS KR Premier. Just like GSTL isn't. | ||

I'm pretty sure all Korean proteams have comparable training schedules, it's not like it's super hard to make players train harder or that it costs you more money to do so, in fact, it costs you less, putting them behind a computer is cheaper than paying for recreational activities. Leenock also said there is basically no real difference in how the proteams in either organization operate.soo Kespa where are your Gods now? in the end ESF and Kespa have great players... and to me both sides are equally strong.. but not putting the plays into the equation I still love it when Kespa fails hard And no one deriding this article is arguing that KeSPA is worse than eSF. That's not the point. I'd give KeSPA an edge at the top level. It's hard to deny the top 3 best players are probably KeSPA at this point. The issue is that this article made claims along the thought of that the entirety of code S should be filled with KeSPA players right now maybe except 1-2 original SC2 players, didn't happen. | ||

That's not the point, I don't care much for eSF vs KeSPA, both are doing quite well and the differences between both organizations aren't that big.Every time KeSPA have good results, we see eSF fan mockery, KeSPA fan stupidity. Every time we see KeSPA have bad results, we see eSF fan mockery and more KeSPA fan stupidity. The point of this article wasn't 'KeSPA will be better', the point of the article was 'KeSPA will absolutely dominate to the point of maybe 1 non BW a-teamer left in code S' surely that didn't happen. | ||
