The Kespa-guys really need to do some catching up quick, this is getting a bit silly. Only Soulkey yesterday was on par with expectations.

Several other player has been doing well, already having beat GSL players as well and they are still playing 2 games at the same time in PL.

Effort wasn't playing too badly, much like all of them actually. With more practice now OSL is switching to SC2 I really do wonder in a couple of months how even it's all going to be. It'll be awesome.

My dream match would be Fantasy or Flash vs Ryung/Taeja or on form MMA in a TvT. It'd be amazing.


The Proleague is still on.
They still have to practice both BW and SC2(Hybrid) which is stupid IMO.

GG, well played by HerO. Unfortunate Effort had to fight against HerO, who is known for his PvZ play. Hoping for a better showing in Effort's next match.

Even though it's under different circumstances and I guess an unfair comparison in general - watching how the kespa guys getting rolled makes you appreciate the huge improvements guys like Moon and Grubby made.

Really time to let BW die in dignity and go full Sc2.

6 Dark Templar. NO ES BUENO, Effort is dead. This series wasn't even fair, HerO slammed him.

Despite that, most of the Kespa players look like that with time they can be pretty competitive. :-D

NEXT HERO GAME! Now go Puzzle! Puzzle <3.

Yeah, Kespa players are playing the game as if SC2 just came out few months ago, difference being they get to play with big maps like Daybreak etc, as suppose to GSL season 1, where we still had maps like Outer Steppes, Jungle Basin etc....

I dont understand why anyones suprised. They (kespa) will be on even basis with current pros in like 6 months or so, if not for hots which will somewhat reset things for everyone itd probably take a year or more. Some will never be good at sc2 Id assume, I never played sc1 but its not the same game really is it

Not sure what effort was supposed to do once Hero took his fast 3rd.

As Zerg you can't punish him easily for taking it, since the FFs will delay an attack long enough to be able to push it back unless you go all-in. So, you have to play greedily like he did otherwise Hero will destroy him just before Blords come out with a maxed 3/3 army o death. Just feels weird that a Protoss can take a greedy fast 3rd and then their opponent is still expected to be ready for a large enough attack to kill them.

It's probably like 10% BW and 90% sc2. And "really bad" is a pretty laughable statement after watching their first series against Code S level players.


Sorry but except JaeDong and Soulkey every one got stomped really hard. Moon for example played both games until january and maganed to get into GSL and beat Code S players from time to time. Thats why I said like that.

Reality who is playing later beat Symbol in the qualifiers

No Effort has a almost no chance against DRG.

Those Zergs that Effort beat on PL is nowhere near the level of DRG.

HerO is on a different level of PvZ I'm afraid.

Poor EffOrt, possibly the hardest draw out of all the KeSPA players.

Does it matter? Kespa players are just not on par yet or maybe they ll never be who knows. Hardest draw only means fastest loss


Honestly, I think there are some KeSPA players that can win over the like of Miya or Horror. I wouldn't be surprised if today some KeSPA could take a round or two in code A. (And I'm mostly a SC2 fan, though I recognize the KeSPA players current skill).

Before anyone comments I am a zerg here.

I do not believe this tournament states anything about zerg balance.

Firstly there has only been 6 ZvX matchups where X is not zerg so the data set isn't exactly large.

Look at the relative strengths between the two players in the zerg matchups.
curious won his match against a kespa player.
soulkey and jaedong whilst obviously great at BW are still new to SC2 and played gumiho and alive, 2 top quality terrans.
coca played seed, the GSL champion
effort will likely lose but again he is a kespa player and hero is phenomenal.

and DRG - creator. you would expect DRG to win but if you watched the games he did not play like a GSL champion and was quite sloppy in lots of areas, this is not due to 'balance'.

None of these games have any reflection on balance.

TLDR - 6 games with Large skill differentials between players and a sloppy DRG are not indicators of balance

Anyone who uses one single tournament as an indicator of balance shouldn't be allowed to use a keyboard. If anything, this is just further evidence that players win games, not races.

Who was the author of that? That person should feel terrible either way, talk about elitism that none wants :/
The BW/KeSPA stuff was always annoying to talk about because it ended up in the same dispute and then that guy makes the biggest deal in the world out of it.

I mean who even benefits from elitism? Feeling superior because of shit like that, urgh. I bet the players actually care much less about it and just want to improve while parts of the rapid fanbase gets unnecessarily hung up in that.
