I've got nothing against him, but bw elitists and elephanters are starting to be super annoying. The guy has skills but I personally think that a good protoss should have not much trouble beating him. | ||

I have yet to understand why this phenomenon occurs. Ye people have really problems with the concept of rivalism in competition. I think people should need to watch MSL group lotteries where everyone was smack talking the shit out of their opponents. It was actually just a tool for hype, rarely what being said there is truly genuine. Its just a point of reference players use to differientiate themselves. Like FBH smacking Savior/Jaedong. It was interesting some people got overly aggresive about that (fanboyism take part) but in reality its just a big show. It was actually cool if we follow all those rivalries, the games were actually more interesting (FBH vs Savior legendary, than FBH vs Jaedong Battlecruiser into Jaedong manner hatch revenge). Also Much taking revenge on FBH by doing pylon hearts in middle of the map. IT WAS PIMP and thats what everyone wants deep down. | ||

"TLBS dominating NP the SC2 scene few weeks after they switch", soon became, "TBLS dominating the SC2 scene few months after they switch", which then became "code A BW players dominating the SC2 scene few months after they switch", next we had "code A BW players taking bo3 against GSL players few months after they switch", and then "code A BW players taking bo3 against GSL players few months after they switch", and finally, "ex BW players related to Kespa might take a bo3 against a GSL player ~6 months after their switch". | ||

I don't find it particularly funny. As the level of top SC2 play rose each month, the time needed to catch up became longer. It's not that hard to believe if the switch occurred when the article was first written, it the catch-up time would have been much sooner. People also assumed that when the switch occurred the players would completely devote practice to SC2, which is not the case. Besides, GSL is dominated by elephants anyway, just elephants who made the switch sooner to make a quick buck before the transition. It was smart of them. | ||

The guy has skills but I personally think that a good protoss should have not much trouble beating him. I'm trying to understand what your post is supposed to mean and failing. Who is him and what relation does he have to "BW elitists and elephanters"? Btw, this idiotic sentiment of "BW elitists" by fans new to the scene is 1000x more annoying to us who have been here for a decade or more. The esports you currently enjoy was built on the back of BW and its pros. Have some respect. And I'm sorry but you're greatly confused if you think this season proves anything. The BW pros are still splitting their time between two games, lack proper coaches, and haven't even had a single season to figure out the dynamic of the game, yet you're ready to make a call on their ability? I didn't see DRG owning GSL season 1. Nor season 2. That must mean he had no skill right? Or maybe it just took him time to understand the game. Just like it's going to take time for the BW pros. Besides, all of this is ignoring the giant elephant in the room: MC, Nestea, and MVP, champions of the SC2 scene, ARE former BW pros. They've already proven what BW pros can do in SC2. | ||

Not to mention that MC, MVP, and Nestea had some of the worst records in the league in BW and they are at the top of SC2.So, if that is the case then naturally the better players will replace the current champs. There are reasons why MCMVP, and Nestea had lackluster performances on BW and those reasons will begin to show once the BW players have more than 3 months of training while practicing two games. Reality is proof of my claim. As the GSL players he has beat have more than 2 years experience in a game he has played for 3 months while dividing his time between two games. I say let's wait until heart of the swarm and a full pro league transition before we speculate. The elephant in the room will eventually come true but not as soon as most people had hoped for. | ||
