Zergs really need to stop complaining about maps so much. I think that by "a more balanced map" he means something like Metropolis, which is 34% TvZ. Antiga is 53% TvZ, but somehow people always complain about Antiga and not Metropolis. | ||

This is same argument I make with Daybreak TvP that every pro player of both races(who probably put in 10x as many games on that map that we dont see) cant possibly be that far off. | ||

Maybe people are specifically tired of Antiga because it's such a poorly balanced map for both ZvT and PvZ and yet has been played in every single tournament in the last year, sometimes twice in the same series (TSL4). Regardless of balance, JD looked pretty good on Antiga and with better army control and decision making he might have won, which can be said about almost every game involving good players. | ||

Jaedong doesn't look promising nor terrible, no one can know how good he is going to be in 6 months, and his BW past definitely wouldn't help him getting better sc2 micro/multitask/macro/luck. Both Flash and Jaedong repeated several times that it was a new and different game. That's the correct mindset to have. I never really followed the BW scene, but came upon a VOD recently of JD defending a 6 or 7 pool with a 15 hatch and eventually winning the game with the type of control I have NEVER seen anywhere else... And I've watched thousands of other VOD's / replays. His play is still unrefined and won't get him to win any competition any time soon (vs GOM players)... But I have to say, he definitively has the potential to be up there :-) | ||

If it is never done, we will hear "It's only been a year, the GSL players have been playing for three years, that's not a fair comparison." Considering HOTS will be a complete reset for everyone, if by then the kespa players don't dominate the whole elephant nonsense doesn't have any meaning anymore. | ||

While I believe not everyone will be able to make the transition (Bisu), a vast majority will. It's just a matter of time, and quite obvious if you look at history. Everyone is also ignoring how much influence Kespa teams have on their players success. All this said, I don't feel we will see a realistic representation of true play by all players until HotS. | ||

The main difference between now and when HotS is released is Kespals will have had additional time to practice SC2. It will be sad when some retire, as others already have but the ones that remain behind will integrate to an equal or better level. | ||

To be fair it's a long seeding community emotion. Basically some guy posted a elephant article and some people didn't like the fact that players they had become fans of in sc2 for good play were mocked with words such as "farce" thrown around. I don't think I'm one of those people now, but when I first saw that article it was pretty demeaning towards players I was starting to like such as MC. Basically saying "Look you're doing ok in sc2 and all, but you won't be remembered and better players will soon make your accomplishments look trivial and silly." I know the article is nicely based on stats and what not, but it basically shits on any non-Kespa player except MVP and maybe Nestea. So on the point: the minority of people are getting a 'perverted satisfaction' almost in direct response the minority of BW elitists that, for lack of a nicer word, shat on sc2 since it's release. Anyway, all in all: whatever sort of elitists stand on both sides, time will sort it out. And then we'll only know players by their current sc2 skill with a potentially interesting history. Not what side of the kespa-gom fence they sat on during 2012. | ||

Actually, yes. Every BW elitist, which was a lot of people, did for the past 2 years. Maybe you should do more research before you start shitting on people, or you'll look as silly as you do now. I mean, my day wasn't made because Jaedong lost to Alive, but I smirked when I thought about that "Elephant in the Room" article and the last 2 years of "Yeah well, all you SC2 progamers/viewers better watch yourself, even the BW b-teamers are going to wreck you when they do switch." Thought SC2 was super easy? Thought it was dumbed down? Thought Flash was a god that would kick Mr. Chae in the balls and steal his toys before tearing MC's arms off? I think everyone who had to sit through that deserves a few chuckles at the elitist's expense. Especially considering the BW elitists would regularly go into SC2 threads just to throw the shit, then bitch when some jackass SC2 fan would venture into the BW forums and troll. It's some good old fashioned schadenfreude, and I don't think it's completely uncalled for. | ||

It was my assumption that Blizzard was providing the prize money for all events. If this was the case it seems wrong for GOM to profit of it in this manner. Does GOM own the monopoly on all Korean Starcraft? I realise this was probably addressed several times earlier, but can't be arsed to read through a 100+ page thread :\ | ||
