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.


Soulkey was the person everyone was saying was the best.

"Elephants in the Room" was probably the most accurate article in predicting the future.

everyone looks at things in a different way... elephant stomping around.. I dont think so :S

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.

Why should I give a fuck about elephant, when I already see the the progress of the BW guys made recently?
Is the elephant theory is more important than actual results? So why do such posts keep appearing and what do they prove? Don't embarrass yourself please.

Yeah, this. At first it was that they can't beat GSL players, then they did. Then it was they can't beat good GSL players, then they did. Then the real test was to be facing guys like DRG, Leenock and Gumiho, then they lost too. But now suddenly that wasn't the test either, now it's how well they'll do in code A qualifiers. I'm guessing the only way for Kespa to win over this guys is to absolutely trash GSL. If they don't, then I guarantee you the next Kespa player to lose, will get comments like "I told you so".

And that is all missing the entire point.

Kespa is already very competetive with GSL. Not better, just competetive. And considering the time-frame and that they still play some BW, it is highly, highly impressive.

Maybe it's just me, but KeSPA players look more fit overall?? I mean, TBH, a good number of GSL pros look like fat nerds with stubby noses holding their handkerchiefs for their sweaty palms...

Does KeSPA have a better fitness regimen? Sound body sound mind sort of thing?

They do team building exercises like football and other sports and they go to the gym from time to time . Kespa does indeed take importance in the players's health . Better health > better and longer practise regime .

GSL players don't have this that's why they're generally chubbier / less fit?

That's why many KeSPA players have fangirls. GOM has been a sausagefest so far.

No, KeSPA players have fangirls for the same reason Justin Bieber has fangirls, they are way more famous, they were on primetime TV for a long time, and the very best are also in commercials and so on (Jaedong shoes commercial for example), the only GOM player who has fangirls is MKP, and that's not because of his gameplay right now, but because of the character he's showing.
