Most of the wins are Kespa Zergs playing better than GOM Player(Effort vs DRG/Soulkey vs Coca/Roro vs Leenock). If you are trying to imply that balance played a part in them(Kespa) winning then no. Kespa player are catching up faster than we expected. ELEPHANT!!!! | ||

Under that kind of mechanical pressure, bad decision-making is bound to follow. | ||

GSL players with bad decisions being faced with pressure plus the extreme mechanical mastery of the Kespa players. Well, the pressure is causing the bad decisions. Look, I realize we're not going to convince any hard-core elephanters that the GOM players are playing really fucking terribly because that's just how things go on an internet forum, but this is not the quality of play they have been exhibiting in the past month. They are, one and all, knuckling under to a pressure that's probably more intense than we know. | ||

How you did see balance whining in that is beyond me. It was a simple observation... | ||

I think MC attends so many tournaments because he knows those Kespa guys will dominate soon. He is collecting money when he can. If i'm not mistaken, he once said in an interview that he wouldn't win if those BW A-teamers switch. I think MC must be fully aware of the talents those guys have as he saw them closely as a B-teamer. Attending 3 tournaments in 3 different continents in a week must have a strong urge. | ||

Considering the partnership between Kespa and MLG, there's bound to be travelling to at least MLG events. | ||

As much as I want the Kespa players to catch up with the best of the GSL, I still give props to the best GSL players. I'm sure they've worked as hard as anybody. | ||

But these are the A-Team BW pros. Their mechanics are the same, if not better than DRG and Mvp (before his wrists kept on getting to him). | ||
