 Their world torn from them by the greed of OGN, MBC, and Kespa, and here they are in a brave new world and taking command. *manly tear* | ||

Looks like a pretty even playing field right now to me. But yeah, it´s pretty exciting how things will look once the bag has been shaken and the dust settles. | ||

Rain definitely has the worst chance. He didn't look terribly impressive in the PvZ against horror and horror was in fact in an advantageous position a number of times in game 3 but never did anything about it. I think Soulkey has more of a chance. It may be Hero PvZ, but it's soulkey. If it's going to go 1-1 I think it will be double zerg as opposed to double toss. | ||

Exactly what I was thinking and seeing everyone doubt me was funny. | ||

Effort beating was an upset I agree, but Gumiho has never really been mr consistent. One series he can be brilliant, next series... not so much. His win over DongRaeGu was a bigger deal, yes drg is in a slump etc etc, but overall he is a much more consistent player. Jaedong is a brilliant player, and him beating Genius is wonderful for him. But... you have one of the best BW progamers of all time beating perhaps the laziest player in the GSL in a single best of 3 series. I myself can't wait to see what they can do in the future of sc2 and the expansions. It certainly has me a little excited to say the least. But there is no elephant in the room, they haven't even made it through the front door. In the winners bracket with the exception of Roro and Reality they got their asses handed to them, they got rolled. Lets not forget that lol. GSL prelims should be interesting though, if some of the Kespa players can get through will be interesting to see how they go in Code A. We will be able to see then, how much they have progressed. | ||

If any GSL player is inconsistent, its his problem. I don't think that, in competitions, inconsistency could be used as an excuse to deny that a player isn't worse than, let's say, another player who posts better results. In my opinion, whatever reason causing GSL palyers' losses right now is exactly their weakness. If they keep losing like this, than they are inferior players in comparison to KESPA players, nothing else. | ||

Hmm, did Flash say Effort was the best Kespa player awhile ago, or was it Soulkey? One of them were the first of the Kespa players to break GM iirc. | ||

But yeah, it´s pretty exciting how things will look once the bag has been shaken and the dust settles. i thought the elephant was about the lack of dedicated training on the gom side, one that rivals kespa style training regime. so when the kespa players switch over with their hardwork and talent, the laxed training regime of the gom will get stomped. not kespa > gom period. one also has to remember kespa team have huge sponsors, which means huge money. and in every professional sport ive looked at. the team with the most money tend to do pretty well to say the least. i wouldnt be supprised if skt1 absorbs slayers when the trading freeze is over. and i wouldnt be supprised if some of the weaker team disappear because of it. | ||
