I'm so fucking sick of these threads. So disgusting everytime a Kespa player wins the troll baiters come out to play.

I really hope this goes the way of the USA Stephano chants considering how mods looked at that joke.


The irony is of course that the guys rooting for Kespa are also acknowledging the play by GSL. The GSL fans are saying things like "wow GSL player X plays so bad".


And by making generalisations like this and lumping everyone into the 'GSL fans' and 'Kespa fans' categories, the LR thread becomes a fucking wankfest.

Ofc, that's not the reason they lose. Either they don't prepare as well as Kespa players before a series, or they are just not as good as them. Kespa players knows exactly how to prepare a series in every detail. GSL players usually just wing it in the series.

The irony is that you are picking out only the things that you dislike. I have seen many comments about how they are getting much better. Perhaps you should read interviews by Jaedong or Soulkey and see what they think of their skills or of the pressure on Gom players. The excuse of pressure is completely legitimate. Kespa players are getting MUCH better and some are even truly shining. The shit talk isn't needed either way.

Genius has been seriously slacking off ever since leaving MVP. It could go either way to be honest. The series i thought was the most set in stone was that gumiho was going to beat effort without much trouble.

Wow thats quite the turn around from GSL 11-4 KeSPA from the ro32... GSL players have only won 4 games vs KeSPA players since then O_O

Granted the players you expect to dominate from GOM won and the players that trip over their own feet outside of GSTL did poorly so I'm not terribly surprised. Just pleasantly surprised.

Well King of Code A and GSTL reject Yugioh lost both his games to KeSPA players 0-2.

I don't think you understand who Kespa players are

Foreigners of a year ago = GOM players of now.
Koreans of a year ago = Kespa players of now.

So yeah sure, let's give it a month or two.

What does that make foreigners now then!!?

Pretty sure nervous isn't a function that happy can compile.

I'm just glad the KeSPA plaers have shaken up the Korean scene a bit...to be honest GOM v GOM players has been getting a bit stale. Having a lot more fun watching this tournament because its so unpredictable

I don't recall anytime foreigners beating Koreans consistantly.


Cuz the Kespa players have better mechanics than the GSL players, whereas the foreigners have worse mechanics than GSL players. Just look at how Hero held that 4 gate by tails.

I really hate it when people simplify Kespa players as being better simply because of mechanics.


Did he even say that they are better ''simply because'' of mechanics? He just emphasized it, but nowhere did he say that was the only reason

That's why I said simplified the reason, it completely removes other factors which are arguably more important in sc2.

You realize that other than the first 4 names none of those players have ever done anything worth note other than one getting destroyed in the most one sided GSL finals of history and other than Symbol and to a lesser extent Jikaji those who were once good are now not like they were then. Bomber and Nestea dont exactly inspire fear anymore.

It has been the whole time this tournament has existed. Some saying "OK" to their GSL players (except a notable few crushing their opponents) and a majority fapping whenever any KeSPA player winning or doing something impressive. It's like Korean vs Stephano.

Quoting Squeegy on anything makes the thread a wankfest.
