Game 3 DRG vs Effort was simply skill vs skill. No build order win, no cheese, no nothing. And effort overwhelmed DRG as his micro gave him tiny leads that eventually made it big enough for the finish. What a game, haven't been on the edge of my seat in a long time.

Thought it was the finals!

You haven't seen a lot of ZvZ games if you think that's true.

I've watched the GSL since open season 3, I'm sure that's true.


I've seen DRG completely dominate ZvZ with excellent micro in games. Just because he lost today doesn't make it seem like "zomg, Kespa players doing something that's never been done before!" Which isn't true, cause it's been done before.

On that note, damn is DRG doing terribly this past month.


It makes it "zomg" because effort has played the game for 3 months while concurrently practicing brood war. That is why it is a big deal.


And what I find funny about all of this is, Kespa teams are bringing in former GSL players/coaches to coach them so it accelerates the process. But no one even mentions that.

It's done wonders for Jaedong's game though. I want him to go far.


And er...has it been three months? I'm almost certain that the kespa players have been practising sc2 for way longer than that.

Well, we will all see a lot more ZvZ's. With Kespa players winning.


Well, I've seen Kespa players win ZvZ's before. Hyun, NesTea....oh wait, those were former Kespa players.

Seriously, I don't know why people are so enamored with labeling players and taking up factions/sides.

I'm personally rooting for Jaedong!


I agree completely. I mean, I tend to root for the current KeSPA players simply because I've been watching them play longer, but putting people into artificial boxes as a whole is silly. I think most lower to mid level KeSPA players will simply have to retire, but the S class players will always be good in any RTS because they're just a cut above in terms of raw talent and amount of practice. But it's not like all the KeSPA B-teamers are going to come wreck GSL or something.


Finally, a sensible post! Kudos!

Yup, it's like when people release replay packs of them taking the occasional game off named pros on ladder and people take that to mean they are actually close to being competitive with them and should get a big tournament invite.


Or it's like when Kespa players win a few meaningless bo3's in WCS a few times and they're somehow amazing.

Wait..


Yeah. I can't wait till KeSPA players go up against Mvp and Oz etc in OSL/GSL. People judge too quickly. Preparation is where you see the player really snap necks.


At first it was they can't beat GSL players. Then it's they can't beat Code S players. Now it's MVP and OZ. I bet you MVP and OZ are going to lose soon too.

you can be quiet too thanks

You must be kidding, Effort has always been considered one of the top zergs.


I actually didn't like Effort much until after his retirement because I saw him as a threat to Jaedong and considered him just a streaky player. His skills are unbelieable and he will soon be one of the best, if not the best, zerg on the planet.



Funny Effort didn't retire....

Noooo I missed Effort!

How'd his games look?

The second game was Effort being thoroughly out-thought by DRG.
The third was Effort thoroughly out-microing DRG in a ling/bane war


Well it was kinda even on micro but he out-endured the ling/bane war. You know, keeping his cool. DRG started making micro mistakes after 10 min of chaos while Effort's biggest mistake was losing 4 lings to a bane. And then he finished it up by a lovely roach attack to the front to bait defenses there and nydus the main. Unreal mental fortitude by him.

Oh. Lucky scout for Hero.

10 pool. I hate playing against that in my ladder games. LOL.

LR threads are a lot more pleasant when we're not having elephant wars. <_<


Seriously, it's getting to a pathetic level.

And of course there's zero moderation on that topic because it's actually supported -_-

Well, time to back out of these threads then.


It's not like CODE S players don't have a lot of raging fans that treat these KESPA players like code B or worse players and when they actually win or put up a fight they come with excuses. If respect was given were it's due no arguments would be happening.

Some Kespa players are already really good and not even full speed. Deal with it!

Oh come on, don't try to act like the victim here.
The thing that started this mess was the TL article which praised the kespa players like a god (remember the nonsenical 100 players stomping the sc2 compettion) off all over it and calling sc2 essentially a joke.

Actually it was even more nonsensical, the article said 300 pros and semipros could roflstomp the SC2 scene (or, as the article said, crush) withing a few months of switching. Such ridiculousness.


The funny thing is that the article predicted instant domination.
There is no domination. Nothing instant. It's been proven wrong.

But Kespa players doing well, can't we just be happy

No, what makes it "zomg" is that no one has ever traded so well in two fronts so consistently before.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie
