Will there ever be a more epic photo of any progamer than that one of FBH?

I call unlikely.

That aside, kicking off a PL season with SKT vs 8. OH MY GOD YES!
Starleague Forever. RIP KT Violet~

I approve of shoving in more SKT-related content

And of this title: "SK Telecom T1, the godfathers of Starcraft Progaming"

There is never enough SKT Content!

these men speak the truth!

This question has popped up a couple dozen times across different threads. God forbid we have a culture that's not Western.


The issue here isn't Western culture vs. Eastern culture, it's an issue of sensitivity. I'm not saying anyone's racist or anti-semitic, the map maker probably meant it as a symbol for good luck, but that doesn't make it okay. Just because a symbol isn't insensitive to one culture does not mean it isn't insensitive to other cultures. There's a reason you don't wear a KGB shirt through the airport at Prague, or name a map "the Trail of Tears", it's insensitive to cultures and associated with terrible events. The swastika may be a symbol for good luck, but to many in the world its the symbol associated with the Holocaust. I think they should replace it with a different map.

What's incredible is that not only does this season look to be even better than those who preceded it (as you rightly pointed out), but that TL BW articles seem to be improving even faster in quality. Truly appreciated that you asked out some good foreign players for their opinion, hope to see that sort of thing again in the future. I think it is also a good publicity for the foreign scene which has been lots of fun to follow during those months hollow of pro-bw =)
Cheers, to the greatest season of proleague ever ! <3

Nazi Germany has nothing to do with South Korea. The buddhist symbol, aka a swastika, is waaaay more culturally relevant to South Korea than the Nazi hakenkreuz and they associate the swastika with buddhism. PL is exclusively aired in South Korea and we are illegally streaming it. There is no issue here.

Except, as kdgns pointed out, it's a reverse swastika of the Nazi one. They are two distinctive things. Proleague is in Korea, all the way across the world, with a symbol that's been there for far longer than the reversed one that's been around for less than a hundred years.

Let me play the devil's advocate for a second: let's adorn buildings with crosses and other symbols that's true to their original and not a reversed cross. After all, it doesn't offend anyone persecuted due to religions reasons and it's okay.
