Okay people. All this "Elephant" talk is just plain stupid. It's pretty simple that the KESPA player would do well early.

Their opponents have a ton of games they can research which the opponents do not have the same luxury.

Lets give this a month or so and then you can put up the elephant in the room jokes. Remember when foreigners were beating Koreans in SC2 about a year ago? Yeah, now look at it. Swung back the other way.



Umm thats not the reason we knew they would do well. When SC2 came out all those that couldnt cut it in BW switched over and one A-team called MVP. Those that switched over have been able to dominate the scene. So obviously skill sets transferred over for the most part. So once the switch was announced just based on who was on top in SC2, made it pretty clear that the best BW players will eventually be on top in SC2. The only question is how long, how much practice it is going to take until they figure out the game because once they do their superior multitasking and the speed at which they think their way through games will carry them to the top, just like in BW.


MVP was really a B team player but was considered A team because his team had such crappy terran players.


OSL Ro. 8? Ro. 4?

I dont agree with Blazefury, MVP was pretty good, but it was a MSL ro8 and I dont think there was a ro4 anywhere.

edit: cj high5 with raga


He was not pretty good man lol he was alright. Keep in mind, he was a "woojin terran" and we know the story on them. MVP had a beastly build vs 14 nexus though.

More like MSL Ro8 . Considering that that was his peak it wasn't anything impressive . MVP had talent , but the fact was that he indeed was at the bottom of the A - teamers .


See, real recognize real.

Well, KesPA players are very impressive in both skill and how fast they improve but to jump to a conclusion that the Elephant Theory is correct is a little bit too premature. The sample size is not that big enough to be conclusive and they are still in the Loser bracket. They are improving very fast but winning two matches in Loser bracket and saying they are dominating is kinda silly.


I would not go as far as saying that they are dominating but the streak and wins over GSL code A and Code S players is quite a statement. Especially when you are practicing two games at once and have only played SC2 for three and a half months lol

Actually, I take that back. They are dominating! How many of sets did you think they would win? How many of your liqubets did you lose to the WCS? Ask yourself this...

OSL Ro. 8? Ro. 4?


MVP was on the Woojin team which was made fun of for their weak terran line. Regardless of his OSL performance, his point still stands.


woongjin has light now, just pretend honsin doesn't exist D:


Woongjin's broken their Terran curse with Light (from MBC) and formerly Really (from eSTRO). Home-grown Stars Terrans haven't been very good though... (and no, hon_sin isn't that good T_T)

Before Light/Really, Stars had Piano and MVP, who comprised probably the weakest Terran lineup on any non-ACE pro team (except maybe STX, who had ... Hwasin and a bunch of rookies at the time. I'm pretty sure even Upmagic/Really on eSTRO was stronger...)

MVP was possibly the 9th or 10th best Terran at his peak.

It is so impressive to see the kespa players winning at all.
I havent been following the GSL lately though so are the players being defeated by the kespa players considered good GOM players? Are they code S players?

Effort beating DRG and Gumiho (both code s)
Jaedong beating Genius (when he's on his game he's top tier code s, but he's very inconsistent with that)

MVP showed some promise on occasion, but come on. His overall win rate was below 40%.

Actually, when he first started with Stars, he did pretty decently.

Then he sort of fell apart, especially after his 1-2 loss to Flash in ABC Mart MSL; but he was still a decent TvT sniper while on Stars. (Yes, that's a 14-14 record, but 7 of those losses were to Flash.)

And the most successful Sc2 player in it's short history is MC who went 1-9 in BW. Everyone else should be ashamed I guess? =/

So all the competition ever in starcraft 2 has been a farce. I also guess many people are happy to think that.
