First interview with Ken/KDJ post-sponsorship, I think.

The best quote honestly comes from right here:

Do you believe you have a shot at winning EVO or MLG Anaheim?

Jung: I don't like to think of what ifs. I will let the results speak for themselves.


There are few human beings more humble about their skill than KDJ, I swear to god.

Jesus, the best thing about this announcement was it pointed me toward The Smash Brothers documentary.

If you haven't you need to watch it.

I think this is the biggest take away from this. The people who are skeptic of the decision probably haven't watched the doc. And the more people that watch the doc the better.


I've honestly never played even one game of SSB, just one of those games my group of friends just didn't get into I guess. But this Documentary has me hooked. Watched the first 5 episodes into the wee hours of the morning yesterday and couldn't get it out of my head all day. Couldn't wait to get home today and watch the rest! Very well done from what I have seen so far.
Y'know sometimes people ask me y'know like "What's your religion and stuff?" And I'm like "y' know it's like RTS." Uh, and they're like, "What's that?" And I'm like, "Y'know it's kinda like, kinda like Buddism."

From the time I was a kid, my obsession and passion when it came to video games was Melee. Then it was Starcraft and Melee. My two worlds have come together and I couldn't be more excited.

Here is my problem. Team Liquid started with SC2 (essentially), then they branched into Dota 2 and now SSBM. What is missing? League of Legends. I assume the reason being is due to the fact the SC2 community hates League of Legends and so TeamLiquid is being stubborn about adding a LoL team. LoL is a great game and is far more successful as an e-sport. If e-sport teams want to survive they have to adapt and right now everyones adapting to the popularity of LoL until blizzard gets their shit together Liquid should do so also.

Team liquid picks up games they are passionate about.

And games that are actually Competitive and are able to be wrote about.

I was gonna say "games that are actually good" but i didn't wanna rustle too many jimmies.


Better to say games with a long lifespan. DOTA has been around for a decade, Starcraft is the same, SSBM has the same longevity. Talk to them when you're still playing LoL in 10 years.

What's amazing about Liquid is their focus on the community. These are games that have kept their various communities together for a decade. The players grew up on the game and have cultivated relationships and lifestyles around a game. It really is brilliant. It hits me, and I think it hits all gamers, because there's a whole generation of us now that grew up a part of all of this.

I believe not introducing LoL is decision based on many factors and you all oversimplified the situation.

The old heroes of Smash are underdogs today. Ken can't beat the top 5 in the world. Ken can't beat the top 25.

http://meleeiton.me/2014/03/19/ssbm-rank-top-100-quick-reference-list/

Team Liquid Smash has a lot of training to do. They need to get back to their former glory and then some, as the top players will be in shape for MLG, and their level is much higher than Ken or KDJ's ever were, even in their prime.

Oh, and rumor has it, KirbyKaze and PPMD are about to be picked up by EG. KirbyKaze is right below the top player group, and PPMD is IN the untouchable top player group.

I saw the twitter/reddit rumours as well, but I'll wait and see before jumping to conclusions. That's being said, it seems like typical TL/EG, TL picks players that fit while EG goes for the big guns. We'll see if the rumours are true. At the very least it generates interest in smash and picking the game up.

Uh TL picking up ken and kdj is more similar to EG picking up jaedong than anything. Players that were monsters back in their time yet are starting "anew" again.

Super stoked to see more melee!

That list is particularly funny because right after it was released, Ken beat Fly Amanita (rank 21) and HomeMadeWaffles (rank 55) at Kings of Cali 3. So like TL's own power ranks, it's very much prone to error haha.

I disagree, it's not like picking up JD because JD was still pretty good at BW and was on the rise on SC2, which was a completely new game. Ken and KDJ were legends in melee and are returning to melee after being away (a long time for Ken especially). It seems more like picking up Boxer in BW or some other old school legend, although I give much better chances for Ken/KDJ to return to high calibur.

This is pretty damn sick. Like a lot of people, I first heard about the SSBM community when I watched the documentary last year, and I saw so many parallels between their experiences and my own in competitive gaming.

SSBM is a true grassroots E-sport. I don't understand shit about the game but it seems pretty damn exciting to watch.

You should play it some time! It's really fun and simple to get into, but really hard to play at competitive level! If you don't want to play you could *cough* use dolphin *cough*.
