Because he wanted to KILL effort, and if he was superior in micro he would do this. Its pretty simple, you kill crippled opponents and efforts godly defense and simcity turned the tide away. Such things are possible even in SC2... So you're saying that drg when playing properly suicides banelings into queens?

My stomach always cringes when I see "fake hero" or fero because he's clearly not faking the nickname. Foxer was great for MarineKing because he was clearly faking the name of one of his idols but I doubt thats the case here.
So how can we distinguish the heros? For example liquid Hero is written uppercase and cj hero is lowercase. Back in the days (at least in counterstrike) we used the "mini" tag: Liquid Hero can stay "Hero", CJ hero becomes mini-hero.
I don't how we mix the T8 hero into this - maybe hero2 or "hero II" because his name reads like Jo "hero" Il Jang? Just call them by their full ID .. Liquid'Hero, herO[jOin]/CJherO, by.hero/T8hero.
Or nicknames work I guess. I nominate herO[jOin] to be shortened to herOin

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the coaches weren't heavily disappointed if one of their players lost to a guy with 90% less experience. Or maybe there is just a massive gap in skill and talent?

Da fuq is happening?!!! + Show Spoiler +Gumiho lost to Effort!!! Oo I wonder how many elephants that will receive. Great first game and a strategy made of huge earth sized cojones in second.

so much for your predictions...+ Show Spoiler +all the kespa players moved up LOL , kespa ftw!
|
|
You should stop predicting against the Kespa players all the time
|
jaedong said "your argument is invalid"
|
Bad Predictions. Kespa >> all
|
Hahaha, Fionn and Waxangel, you were on yop of your game for the last predictions :D But you failed this one hard : D
|
What about the elephant guys
|
Hehehe...I wonder what the elephant ratings for Jaedong-Puzzle and Effort-Gumiho will be,
|
Just ridiculous... People are saying that they need about 1 year to be as good as current GOM players, but look at this, in just few months, they are on par with Code A players, simply amazing!
I can't wait for HOTS and to see what strategies will they come up with, the KeSPA vs. GOM fight will be amazing!
|
A lot of the top GOM players were former BW B-teamers who played well in practice but have nerve issues in front of a TV camera. It's not much of an issue when they are facing each other but many are pretty much wilting when faced with a steely competitor who doesn't care much for the camera.
|
When a Kespa players goes up against Seed, Taeja or Polt or any other player of the highest caliber then we will see who the best Kespa players. Not that these GomTV players aren't great, but with MC and Nestea out they really aren't going up against the best GomTV has to offer.

That is such a well written article. I may not be a native speaker but I definitely can appreciate that at least to some extent. There is a clear structure and flow, and diversity of form. Talking about so many matchups should lead to some repetitiveness, but this article doesn't fall into that trap at all. Great Job
|
nestea is history (hail kas), so is drg.
|
I don't care if Kespa players are better than GOM or vice versa... I just love the rivalry that's developing and getting good games out of it. :3
|
I forgot to Liquibet all the Kespa players. :-/
