i tend to agree but there is no need of bashing professional gamers no matter what the skill level or strategies are. things evolve and i bet your ass couldn't beat any of them. instead you're one of those critics that just write shit just to get people to look. am i right? i think so.

It would be so sad for my FPL and just broodwar fan experience if CJ rocked the rest of the season but not Round 1.

This is stupid. People actually have free will and don't blindly follow "the winner", it's ofc a trend and there are people who will jump on winning bandwagon, but it doesn't describe everyone or anything, it's just fraction of a factor.

thats like saying gretzky sucks, because he would get owned now a days. Woa i have never seen such retarted front page hate about people that have changed this game forever, Hot Bid You are a class A hater. and if you want to talk about bandwagong, look at all these clueless people posting here, i bet you 95% of people here didnt develop vision when boxer was raping it up, or when Grrr was dominating the world. Yes people now have more tools to be better (no replays to start with, am tools) but these people that you so kindly disrespect, were the shit when this game actually mattered.

I agree with uiCk...a bandwagon fan is a person that likes a certain player/team/whatever while that entity is performing well, and then stops being a fan once that entity stops being as good. That's like saying people who like the Chicago Cubs are bandwagon fans because they won a world series in 1908...it's stupid, and nobody would agree with it when it's put into that context.

Moreover, how is liking Boxer or Savior at this point being a bandwagon fan? Boxer can't hang and Savior is barely on the CJ A team, but people still like them because they are icons of the game. Heritage was amazing for me because it took me back to the early 2000s when I was first introduced to professional Starcraft. It didn't matter if the games weren't as good as any Jaedong/Bisu/Flash game; it mattered that the Emperor, the Dreamer, the Maestro, or any other player from that tournament was playing.

I watched a lot of games through out the years. I even went back and watched all televized games of old players I like(elky, boxer, v-gundam, grr..., etc.) I thought some of those games were better then games I've seen today. I also turned some of them off because they were so god awful boring(ratio is like 1 in every 4 games).

Like who you want to like because of their play. I love EVERY pro gaming team and EVERY player. But there are teams that I want to win over other teams and same with players.(SKT1 is my powerhouse team and we're gonna win this year again gogo fantasy-bisu-best) But thats suffice to say that I enjoy watching estro beat them sometimes if the games are good.(its always cool to root for the underdog GO SANGHO!)

Is it my fault I want to watch high level games? I went back the other day and watched Savior versus Nal_rA -- one of the most entertaining rivalries there was -- and it was sad. Really, it was. I'm all for appreciating what people can do at the peak of their abilities, but watching these old guys play against each other is like watching the WNBA or women's soccer. I understand that they're the best relative to their competition. I just don't care. I want to see the game played at its highest level, not some grandpa toss who can't figure out how to attack lurkers. Nal_rA, I get that you invented FE. That's great and all, but Bisu is the one that invented FE. I'm sure some fat white guy on a step ladder invented dunking, but Lebron James invented dunking.

in summary: they were the first... and we respect them for that... and they really aren't as good as modern players... and we also acknowledge that... where are you disagreeing with anything here?

(The last photo is such terrible resolution - what happened to it? O.O My photos never look that bad normally.)

Anyway, I used to be hard line Samsung Khan until I realized they're actually a pretty flat team when it comes to photography. (Aside from FBH, Stork and Chavi.) My preferences are not usually based upon the same constraints as those of fans who play BW or watch a lot of VODS.

I willingly acknowledge that I go where the good photos will be produced - so I've come to love SKT1, Rolster and any of the more out-going players, ceremonies, extra fun things such as Bunkie and his dollar-store friend Shogun or those who produce aesthetically pleasing photos due to their looks/the career surrounding them. (Aka. fruit loops like Canata, Ryan, Chalrenge and GoRush, legends like Boxer, SaviOr and Nada, cult favorites like Backho/Lomo/JD triangle and very 'handsome' players such as Bisu, Hwasin, Piano and RuBy.) I have my own personal band wagon for ForGG as Pholon and co can tell you.

I actually love these silly band wagons that crop up from time to time such as the Guemchi/pimp connection and fuck yeah MVP! (anything coupling progamers and explosions is good in my mind.)

P.S. Even though I took that first photo *I* have no idea who he is either..... ^_^;
