Who's got the free win vs Tails? xD

Rofl Tails. Gumiho seems spotty too. but yes Genius is about to wreck, and gumiho will likely win. Tails is 60/40.

It's okay to admit he's not favored, I'm cheering for him to win too but It's not going to be easy at all.

guys, Squeegy is the biggest pro-bw poster ever, i recommend not getting into arguments with him


Earlier he posted, without irony, 'U mad??'

Yeah just let him get on with it.


But I explain my reasoning in my posts and I welcome anyone to disagree with the points. But nobody ever actually produces an argument. They assert and they twist. Explain a flaw in my reasoning and I will listen.

Of course that "u mad" would be an exception.


Because no one really cares about whatever point it actually is that you're trying to make when it's sandwiched with all the smug flame baiting. A player we all expect to be really good beat a player who seems to be slumping compared to his previous domination. The time to start shouting that the domination of the clearly superior kespa players is beginning is not now, when there's no actual evidence for that.


If I were to listen to you, it would never be there. Everytime a player is slumping or playing below his standards. If that is the case, then I think the more reasonable explanation is that you're rating the GSL palyers based on their best. Not on their average. Kespa are already competetive with GSL, I think that is quite established.

I don't think that many people are denying that some kespa players can indeed play on GSL lvl. However isn't it normal that people want their favorite players to be on their best and when they play lower and get defeated they say it? DRG for instance has been mentally down ever since GSL/GSTL semi finals. SC has been in the hospital for quite some time.
Does that mean that the kespa players didn't outplayed them? ofc they did. And i would love if some of them qualified for the next GSL. New players in a competition is always good.
Oh and just a tip, don't seriously mention that article if you want to be taken serious. It was a bunch of nonsense that was written way to early on the basis that sc2 wouldn't evolve at all.


Because they are excuses. Has been mentally down? What does that really mean. How much worse is he playing? I can guarantee you that game three he played great. Effort was just better. Moreover, the validity of the claims of them playing below their standard are, well, questionable when it according to some happens every single time they lose. Note: I am not saying every time Kespa player has won, it has been the GSL player playing their best.

Who are you to tell me not to mention it? That article was essentially the opinion of any BW player at the time. Including mine. And it still is. And it makes sense. People just keep misunderstanding it and building strawmen.


It makes sense???? It made sense back when the game was a slugfest on 1-2 bases. Not anymore. The article is outdated, the game has evolved a lot from there and you should open your eyes and see that.

BW switchers completely taking over the SCII scene? The best of the BW pros are on a course to go top code S. And that is good, really good for the game, the viewership and the competition. But "SCII competition is a farce"? That was the main quote. Do you stand by it?

Show nested quote +
"I am saying that there are 300 current pros and semi-pros that have the potential to come in and dominate SC2 at any moment, with a latency of a few months from the day they switch. Among this group there are a notable few that CRUSH any other players in terms of raw talent and/or work ethic and/or ability to learn."


Crush any other players. Really? Does this happen? It has been a few months. Where's the "crush" of "everyone"? BW elitists just now celebrate (and happily flame since they won't get moderated) the first few victories. Do you still stand by this article, when it has been completely false?


But that is exactly the point. The competition was a farce at the time. It is not a farce now. It hasn't been a farce for a while. These players are good. But that was the part of the article that was relevant only at the time. The point of the article was that there are guys more talented and hardworking than MC for example. That is why they are expected to dominate eventually, not instantly (nobody ever claimed that) and maybe not even by the end of this year. But many think they will.

How much worse has he been playing? Just watch his match against creator alone. The old DRG would never attack up a ramp with his whole army when the protoss was waiting for it. in the same match next set he won but he lost so much muta's he would never have lost before. DRG hasn't won a single match since the GSL ro8.
Was Effort better? Hell yea he was better, otherwise he didn't win.
Note: i am not saying this is not for every GSL player but DRG is atm simply not playing on his standard.

What strawman arguement exactly? read the article and i quote again.

It's not a strawman argument when its taking litterly from the article right?
and please don't start with the "it meant something different" or "read between the lines" crap.


Yes, it is. Because a lot of things written are not to be taken literally. When I understand something, I don't stand under that something. Language is very imprecise and interpreting things exactly as they are written is, well, silly unless it is something like an instruction manual or a scientific paper. The elephant article does not really take reading between the lines or understanding it in some strange way. It is a simple and easy to understand argument. People just are not good at understanding arguments.

Of course we want KeSPA players to succeed. We don't want the players we love to fall into irrelevancy. More than that--it reaffirms that our game, BW, was the best one if our players were the best players. Unfortunately, our fandom seems to lead to irrational zealotry and insulting established SC2 players.


Actually, it's not the fandom that leads to such things, but more the "ROFL THEY GOT STOMPED, SC2 IS SHIT".

Well, mutual respect is kinda hard to find these days it seems.

The fact that I like SC2 doesn't make me disrespect BW.

Sadly, there are fanatics that can't understand the fact that liking one game doesn't automatically mean the other one doesn't deserve any respect.
