That's what i thought when i was watching Nada vs Savior with the livecast last week. The play was just BAD compared to nowadays and when your used to nowadays skill level some fights just go wrong... A Terran isn't supposed to lose XX Marines multiple times in a game or series to 2-3 Lurkers because he isn't paying attention... Or losing Vessels like it's a good tradeoff for 2 Scourge :p. After 1.5 games i just lost interest and forget that the stream was running in the background all together. If you weren't here when the greats were great, you'll never "get it". I don't get it... I know they were great, but i never will now "how" great they really were. I also don't know how it felt to board an airplane when it still was something special and i never will. | ||

Oh look, the "real fan" argument. I'm not allowed to like Flash any more because I totally missed his first tournament wins? I'm not an fbh fan because I didn't get to see his humiliation of sAviOr when it happened? I'm not a Stork fan because the first time I watched him play was at Incruit finals? If you were trolling, congratulations: you succeeded. Dear lord. EDIT: I suppose I should also say that Hot Bid wrote an awesome article, but that he's totally wrong and KHAN will return to take it all be the end of the year. You heard it here... but probably not first. | ||

I think riptide was mostly right in his article, except for the part about bandwagoning being bad. His articles are great and the JD-Effort PL preview was the best intro I've ever read. I don't know what you mean by my article being a "deathblow" to anything, and I don't appreciate you insulting a fellow writer that I respect. It's great you liked my article but please stfu. | ||

Now, a vent. Dear fanboys comparing Jaedong/Bisu/Flash mechanics to those of The Emperor, The Dreamer and The Maestro - stop it. Nothing screams I'M A TOOL WITH ABSOLUTELY NO GRASP OF PROGAMING than a post that even begins to compare players of two eras, especially in terms of mechanics. Judging any of the old pros based on how they play now (or how other people play now) is like comparing the mars rover to Apollo 11. BUT BUT BUT THE MARS ROVER IS THE MOST ADVANCED... Yeah, nobody cares, noob. Seems like the first part of your article--"no it wasnt better in the old days, etc."-- is a direct rebuttal to this excerpt (which I'm guessing riptide wrote but it could have been plexa I suppose). | ||

Yes, and disagreeing civilly with another writer (who I am friends with and I obviously respect) is the same as dealing a "deathblow" and calling his writing "vomit" right? Don't use my article as an excuse to post your ignorant and hateful opinions. There are ways to disagree without flaming like an idiot. | ||

A "deathblow" is simply a way of saying that I think your arguments knock his down definitively. And I didn't allege that you called his writing vomit; that's all me. And stop acting like I just committed a hate crime by criticizing bad writing. It's gonna be okay. It's an article about starcraft. | ||

It's an article about starcraft. Ah yes, it's "just about starcraft" yet you are somehow worked up enough about it to call writers tools, call writing "vomit" and "nonsense." Because that sort of language and discussion is "taking it easy" and treating it lightly because its an article about StarCraft. Take your own advice. | ||
