EPTIf Intrigue does not feel he is wrong, I want to hear why and what his reasons are. I'll probably don't agree but I'd rather see him defend his position than some half arsed apology. I really do not like those PR apologies to appease you often see in StarCraft. I'd rather Stephano just defended his abuse-joke rather than his half-arsed apology of which it was clear he didn't mean a word.

While I totally respect this attitude, it seems to me that you took this article or maybe the subsequent discussion a tad bit too personal. To me at least "requesting" another public statement after all this time seems somewhat obsessive. You were right from the outset and history showed it in spite of all the naysayers. But the real losers are those who don't even realize when they've won. It's time to let it go now. | ||

In this case though, it's hardly personal or against me, Intrigue owes this to a lot of people. He rose up and said 'The game you are watching is a farce because ...' and 'Yo, progamers, you are a farce and just bad because ...' and ostensibly history has proven him wrong. Now, maybe we misunderstood him in which case he can say 'No, I wasn't wrong because ...' and see if people believe his explanation or not. But with the current state of things a follow up article is owed I feel. You don't just go around telling people they are a farce and just walk out when you are ostensibly proven wrong. Reminds me of that Nancy Grace situation in the Duke Lacross case. Basically, what it looked like is that a woman falsely accused three men of raping her with Nancy Grace vocally proclaiming before the trial that they were obviously guilty, as the trial went on it more and more started to appear like the claims were completely baseless and more and more witnesses strated to provide alibis for the three men. When the 'not guilty' verdict was returned which everyone expected near the end Nancy Grace didn't host her own show, a stand in host was used that day to report the not guilty verdict. Major cop out from Grace. After months of vilifying what looks now to be three innocent men you either apologize to them sincerely when you believe you were wrong. Or you still believe in their guilt and defend that position. You don't just walk away when you know you were wrong not apologizing to them. What intrigue does is similar, the reason for his silence is probably because he knows he was wrong. Maybe that isn't true though, maybe he still believes in the veracity of his initial article but then he should be ready to defend it in the light of it ostensibly being proven so wrong over time. Especially when your article consisted of taking a group of people and basically calling them terrible at what they were doing. Intrigue, if you believe you were wrong, just say it, we all make mistakes, what makes a great man is not making no mistakes, but owning up to them and admitting them. If you do not believe you were wrong, then stand up for your beliefs and defend them in the light of everyone currently criticizing them. | ||

So this article and the subsequent discussion "reminds you of" and "is similar to you than" a "fake rape allegation case"?! Well, I wish you good luck in your quest then and bid you farewell. Cheers! | ||

I was thinking maybe it still was for the better, as it might have been a benefit for the international scene to have ESF run the premier Korean sc2 tourney. | ||

This article singled out Bomber and Losira as being terrible or whatever. those players are all going strong. can you remember when people in this article were actually debating who is better, Bomber or Flash? despite Flash having next to no results compared to Bomber 'But it's Flash guise, DAE le BW?', at this point pretty much everyone can see that Flash was just a tad bit overrated with respect to SC2.What is true though, is that an early swich from kespa would have made the sc2 scene more competetive, and would look very different, simply by the number of teams and players. Now, it is so long ago that even the stars of early sc2 have fallen from grace. | ||

Because half way they changed the angle of view, it wasn't bout being a BW A-teamer, it was about KeSPA's training regimen to explain why ForGG and Hyun weren't domating and later JD. Innovation also no longer counts since he joined acer I mean wtf. The definition of who is an 'Elephant' so garbled at the moment you can't make anything out of it any more. Which is exactly the point, there is no real difference, the only difference that exists is Korean and foreigner. | ||

Reading this article made me laugh, whoever wrote it is looking pretty silly as all those BW players (not named Jaedong) failed to dominate or do well. | ||
